It is only appeared in one or two of her videos so far. She seems to be much more into truck campers.

Vinyl wrap material maybe?

Interesting how the wheel and hub came off without disrupting the brake caliper or brake pads.

I'm in SW Mi close to the lake, so we get some snow here. However, it's not multiple feet at a time. A good snow storm might get 1 foot. A fair amount of that will melt before the next snowfall. The other thing is how much of the snow actually builds up on the boat due to the slope and wind...

On boats things like radar units, radio antennas, masts, and booms can shade a solar panel. Some solar panel designs will significantly lower their output if any part of the panel is shaded. Anti-shading type solar panels are less susceptible to this. Its got to do with the number of bus bars in...

There have been issues with some Battle Born batteries overheating and melting internal components. If you are thinking of this brand of battery, do your homework.

One of my rub rails got torn up against a dock. I'd consider replacing it if I can find a piece of the metal rail long enough to do the side in one piece (like the original installation).

I have not done in it my boat, but I have in a converted van. The two biggest issues are very high discharge currents and high charging loads. While cranking, you can pull lots and lots of amps but for a brief period. Li batteries don't like this much. Li batteries can have a very high charging...

There is a usually s gathering north of Sanford Fl in early March '27.

My boat resonates when my Honda 90 is at idle. Bumping up the engine speed by 100-200 rpm makes everything much more quiet. Don't have any problems at any RPM higher than idle.

If the towing limit is 5K and you are towing 5K, then why is that a recipe for disaster? The vehicle designers have designed and approved the vehicle to tow that load. There is an SAE standard for vehicle towing performance that they should at least have passing knowledge of. If you are towing...

I'd cover them with some sort of paintable sealant. This will help with heat transfer via the screws (to prevent condensation on the hardware). I painted the entire interior of my boat, so if I replace the rub rail, I'd paint the new hardware (after sealant) to match the rest of the boat.

BLM and other places are proposing using license plate tracking to monitor comings and goings on lands that have stay limits. I've seen videos of RV encampments in west coast cities that look more like landfill dumps than a place where people live.

Depends on what the weight of your boat and trailer is. If it is under 5K# it shouldn't be a problem. My CD22 on an aluminum trailer weighs 4400# with typical contents onboard. I tow it with a R51 Nissan Pathfinder. The Pathfinder tows it fine, but the gas mileage is around 20mpg without the...

There are plenty of options for tanks. Here are two https://trioniccorp.com/products/holding-tanks https://www.tank-mart.com/ A lot of the tank vendors sell the same tanks but the prices can vary a lot. The factory tank that goes under the aft dinette seat does have a unique shape to match the...

If your boat wiring did not used tinned wire, you may have corrosion of the metal conductor. This usually starts at the ends so cutting off the last couple of inches and reterminating may solve the problem if the wires have enough excess. Strip the wire back until the corrosion is gone and cut...

I would check the voltage drop across where you measured the 7-8 ohms. However, 7-8 ohms for a ground connection seems high to me. Get a similar length of whatever gauge wire is used for this ground wire and see what the resistance is. If this wire is also 7-8 ohms resistance, that is as low as...

I have an Intex Mariner 3 dinghy. It is light, rowable, and can take a considerable load (two people and a dog would be no problem). In can be inflated across the cockpit of a 22 or carried on the roof. While not an "expedition" class dinghy, I have found it to be quite durable. It can be fitted...

IMO, a trip line is better than a slot or zip ties. If the boat swings or the ties break (they can get brittle in UV light) you can end up pulling on the anchor the wrong way and unsetting it. Murphy's Law says this will happen at the worst time possible.

My boat came with an after market bimini. The label is so faded I don't know which. However, for side curtains I just got some opaque shower curtains from Amazon. When needed these can be attached to the bimini with spring clips. It is not as nice as a camper back, but it works for me.
