    Going it alone, or not?

    One big thing is that is that is is wired correctly, a #12 and and matching heavy duty plug etc. Most newer cars accessory plugs are #18 maybe and cannot handle the draw required. That will make your frig a food warmer......

    Where to camp at night

    FYI , Death Valley will be 125 in a few days and low about 97 and Vegas about 110 and 80 maybe. I am in Central Az. and its average about 90 right now. So I would be careful in the lower desert and really watch the Southwest temps. I camped in Canyonlands a few weeks back, a few miles east...

    Pillow Talk

    So what do you use for a pillow while out and about? Bring the one you use at home. Backpacker air pillow. Fold up a shirt or towel....? The one in the mattress you blow up. Etc. I bring 2, my neck likes the one at home so it comes along and another one for backup I guess........

You can rent or find those cheap on craigslist or faceplate. BUT if the rest of the rig is worn out it is time...

    The "in the shop" feeling

    They are prone to oil pumps giving up on occasion, Mine has 135,000 and when I did the clutch I put a "high flow pump in". Good to have a gauge as some were lights........ $2,000 for a good motor if the rest is decent shape.

    BW Crown King in a stock Rig

    Just did it last week, not so bad. Trail Recon did a video on it and was released a few days ago. We took most of the obstacles. Takes alot longer and its dusty in a 13 rig convoy. Nice camping at the top junction.
