    Replacing 12v battery with two 6's.

    If you ever do want to rely on battery power the 6v's have more cycles than 12's. You can re-charge many more times with 6's. The wordt thing you can do to abattery is run it or them down below 12v and not run them back up right away. Fully charge is 12.7v +.............

    Replacing 12v battery with two 6's.

    Howdy, I have 4 6's with a 12v auxillary, for 600AH reserve power. You just have to find a place with enough room for them. I put the 6v's in two semi sealed marine battery boxes and vent them into the stk 12v line. My rig is 5 yrs old and I finally had to replace them. One pair had 6yrs on 'em...

    Concealed carry permits

    IMHO, just figured that one out, concealed means just that, concealed. When I was first issued my CCW it was a pretty straight forward process............ To start now would be a mind-boggling affair.............. As far as having a loaded weapon in the Horn why would you give LE a reason to...

    The Ultimate Self Defense Weapon for the RV and Home

    I still will rely on my Winchester 1200's, 7 + 1 works for me. We use #1 buck vs 00, If I remeber right, I prefer 15 x .32 vs 9 x .38...............from reading Ruark as a child. The previous post stated that the weapon was not intended for hunting, the hollow ring sights make it a perfect game...

    How do you grill when camping?

    Re: Type of Grill ? Hey there, for short trips we have used a Masterbuilt stainless table model for close to 6 years, it is pretty much bullet proof. For longer expeditions we use a combo unit from the same manufacturer, out of Cabelas or Bass Pro....... We can grill or smoke with gas or...

    Merry Christmas Larry! I have not seen you for a couple of years and know you were struggling even then. I have friends who have gone through what you are and I know it is tougher than "heck".

    California Air Resources Board - Smog testing Diesel pick ups

    My registration is up in Dec, lucky me. When "Governor Moonbeam" takes over in Jan he will do all possible to make things as difficult as possible for us diesel folks. The "opacity" test was originally for comercial trucks only. The BAR lobby got the legislature to require the test, $%^@#$.

    Hot Water Odor

    The better anodes are worth the money. When removing to change out or flush the tank, make sure the water is cool and open a hot faucet. There can be some pressure and the rod can come out with some "authority".

    What kept my wheel from coming off?

    Hey Chopper, you were lucky alright. I lost the right front on my rig a month or so back. The first bearing I have lost in 30 yrs or so. Mine made enough noise to figure it out pretty quickly When it went up on the lift, same deal, the wheel dropped down 1/2" or so. First time in a while where...
