  1. That sounds like it. Thanks
  2. We’re away for three weeks and my friend was checking in on our property. He noticed a beeping sound near/above the door. It wasn’t louder inside, but unless the awning has a battery and low power notice we’re not sure what it is. My first thought was fire or monoxide sensor, but not local to each. Beep about every three to five seconds. I guess it could be in the hull and resonating to the outside, but that seems like a stretch. Thoughts?
  3. I don’t boat, but have lusted after a Nordic Tug for 20 years, back before they were building the longer hulls….probably because my sea kayak was a bit cramped back in the 90s. 😉 https://www.nordictugs.com
  4. Yes and Yes
  5. I like helping others spend money. 🙂
  6. https://www.exploringoverland.com/overland-tech-travel/2021/11/14/a-guide-to-recovery-jacks-for-the-beginner-or-procrastinator scroll to bottom…
  7. John, given the demand for that car and the niche market of buyers, I’d price it high with new Michelin or similar. BUT, if they present well, just black the sidewalls and move on.
  8. I usually stay there when going to the Overland Expo from San Antonio, but have never seen the mountains with snow, since it’s May. Really nice little park.
  9. Hope you get on the Wait List. I’d like to check out your Elite 1. It pretty much filled out last Saturday.
  10. Interesting stuff. Just out of curiosity are all your posts just re-postings of a blog somewhere?
  11. From another post, I picked up hand warmers from Northern Tool and will stick a couple in with the batteries and the outside shower for our two day deep freeze event here…and have the furnace at 40F.
  12. Thanks... I'll check again, John has me wondering if my slide might not be coming all the way out. If so, probably due to cable length. Hold-down brackets or cables cover the indicators and/or the caps in a few cases. All manageable, just a hassle.
  13. I know most discussion are on AGM and Lithium, but my May 2020 Elite II came with wet cell batteries. It stays plugged in at home when not on the road. The batteries have an indicator window, but it is only visible for the outmost left batteries. In order to check fluid level I would have to disconnect all wiring and pull all four batteries. Is it reasonable to assume that if the battery indicator window I can see shows good levels, I'm likely OK on the others? For those of you using wet cell, what kinda of maintenance have you done after two years? Most usage is RV/State parks with electricity, but I expect at least five days of Boondocking in May, with solar. I may outsource a Lithium install to Mike (Moderator), but likely not soon. 😉
  14. The little springs that trigger the lights on/off are problematic and can be causing current loss. When they work, they are nice, but even Service isn’t a fan of them. I have two spares. 😉
  15. Does it fit in the cabinet? The depth is less than what I had in my casita.
  16. Do they ever break?
  17. I started trying to pre-book my Yellowstone return to San Antonio leg and my brain hurts in just trying to decide where to go, so many campsite choices out west/north, how long to stay, on a daily basis....or which direction any this point. Leaning towards the Badlands, as I've never been there.
  18. FWIW, it's probably too early in the season, but I'll be releasing a couple of sites in Mammoth CG for mid-late May. Probably do it in late March...still coordinating with other traveling party.
  19. See topic in General Discussion - Mod should delete this.
  20. Anyone using the Pro vs Standard version mopeka.com/product-category/sensor/ https://mopeka.com/product-category/sensor/
  21. So that's what it looks like...this is all I saw pulling my Casita over it in late May... 1455955256_BeartoothPass.mov
  22. I saw a post on this, probably Facebook, where they said the materials and production cost precluding them going forward at this time.
  23. Started doing that right after I got on here. Took me a bit to figure out that hitting 'replies' would let me see the latest replies for a topic, vs clicking and scrolling. So much of this stuff is limited by the website solution software they implemented vs just buying forum specific software. Few forum software packages seem to have good search tools. But overall, it's not too bad and easy to read.
  24. A pre-owned Casita 16’ might be doable for you. Still at your vehicle limit, but folks regularly do it with the Subaru, though I wouldn’t. .
  25. Another thread shows photos suggesting they are testing a new Truma.
