Hated My Cuisinart Grill

I had a Cuisinart "Petit Gourmet" grill that would not get hot enough and was real chore to clean. It's what I replaced with my Magma.

Generally, I've had great luck with Cuisinart brand products,...

Second The Magma Grill

I also have a Magma 9X12 grill, which I've been very happy with. It gets plenty hot and is big enough to cook for two. I had to replace the regulator once due to my own carelessness. Spare parts are...

I'm not familiar with that model.

What kind of chassis is it built on?

Which antenna, TV or vehicle's radio antenna?

As for the vent covers, are you referring to the pair of rectangular...

Yes, my power bank is wired directly to the AGM house battery under the passenger seat. The idea is to supplement the power available from that battery. It was simple to implement but has the...

I have found the 10-amp limitation on the Yeti 1000x DC port to be kind of inconvenient. Sometimes, when I connect the battery bank to my AGM house battery, an overload prevention device in the Yeti...

Another vote here for the Stowaway2 Hitch Mounted carrier. I have the swing out frame and their basket bolted to it. It allows the Sprinter's door to clear, but just barely, unless you apply some...

Our Class B is built on a 2004 Sprinter. Both the engine and the generator exhaust pipes exit at the right rear of the vehicle, and both extend far enough to clear the underside of the van.

We use a similar carrier, except that it swings out to allow the doors to open when it's loaded. It's a nice addition that frees up space in the van.
