Just got my little Dometic CF-18, wee chest fridge. No freezer section. It will do me for what I need. And it'll be nice to cut the leash from getting bagged ice for a cooler.

Basic take off is that if you don't check the cells with a Hydrometer, you really have no idea what state the batteries are in. Lights and voltmeters only give the roughest idea.

Re: The Future of AC Systems?

Why? Cut a hole, install. Hook it up to 110VAC. Shouldn't be any different from any other van.
Trick is to make it look like it's NOT a bubbafied kluge. :wink:

Re: Need ideas on improving my rig's insulation

Reflectix is NOT insulation (having virtually no 'R' factor) and is simply a thermal barrier. It needs a half inch air space to function properly.

Re: Paint with "swoopy doopy" lines

Styling trends come and go. In time the 'swoopy' paint will be looked upon with the same disdain as the '70s avocado and harvest gold colors. Thank goodness they got away from the " '50s Diner"...

Re: House Panel Battery Switch

As the switch merely passes current, and the new one is an upgrade capable of handling more current for the same volts, it looks like no problem.

Re: April Fools! .............

That's a "canned ham" TT actually, not a 'teardrop', but it's still a cute joke. :-)

I once saw one bolted to the frame of a PU truck - made an interesting RV!

Re: Dodge Xplorer (which is best?)

Being that I am 6'3" tall, I would be severely 'height challenged' in both rigs, but I'd personally choose the '85 - seems much better thought out. I like the old classic Xplorer design too. Also...

Re: Florida Love Bugs

Mike, were they the "Fiddler Crabs", ie. one claw much bigger than the other? Used to see them on shore when we'd go salt water fishing. They make pretty fair bait.

The much larger Horseshoe...

Painfully funny! I'd wager at least half involved imbibing alcohol.

Re: Florida Love Bugs

Lifetime Florida Native here. Last few years were light for the lovebugs, as it's been so dry. This year is much wetter, so they've come out - still not nearly as bad as I can remember. Waxing a...
