Some folks have had good luck with their fridge, but I am not one. The Dometic 8551 in my 2014 Bigfoot never worked properly (if at all) and I replaced it with a Norcold last year. It sort of /kind...

Among the trailers you are considering, the Casita 17 has the most tongue weight, I believe. I defer to Jon and others, but the Escape 17, Casita 16, or Scamp might be the better choice with the...

Jon is the man on this topic for our small trailers, I think, and he's been very gracious in answering my naive questions at three camping venues. When I hit the road full time in a couple of...

So, Texas permits open carry of guns in bars and churches and concealed carry on campuses but prohibits display (!) of "alcoholic beveled edges" in parks?

If I might horn in - as a non-Escaper - Escape always reminded me of 'jailbreak'.

I have to follow you from forum to forum, Walt, to see what you're up to. Yes, I'll be at the mini rally so I can say goodbye to your Bigfoot.

Since I'm the one that threw this thread off-track, let me amend the post.

I should have looked up the Bulldog coupler I installed instead of relying on my porous memory. I used a Bulldog...

I replaced my coupler with a Bulldog A-frame coupler on my Bigfoot and, as I remember, it only added 3-4 inches in length. (Amazon, E-trailer etc. have them for about $50.)

The name of my now-departed Casita - Coddled Egg - is available for adoption if it appeals to anyone. I traded for a Bigfoot and it's not egg-shaped at all - more like a cube.

Yes, I forgot that Jim had one of the Jeeps. There are certainly several million worldwide and the engine is found in sedans, SUVs, pickups - even London taxicabs. The US version has Exhaust Gas...

As I understand it, the 2.8L Duramax was designed in the VM Motori factory in Italy, the same one that signed the 3.0L diesel in the Ram 1500. In fact, the engine is an upgraded version of the...

Atmospheric air is 78% nitrogen. The best you'll get from a tire dealer is about 90% (?) so it's a lot of angst for a 10% upgrade. As long as you check the tires regularly you'll be fine.
