I've got two rows of track on the floor, none of the walls. Sprinter side walls have the strength of an aluminum Coke can. For barrels, I simply run a lashing ratchet strap around them, and then loop E-Track straps through the lashing strap, and secure that to the floor on each side.

That bit was first done by George Carlin, if I'm not mistaken.

The GPS in cell phones in indeed there by law. It's the E911 (enhanced 911 communications for mobile devices) Law. It requires that your cell phone carrier be able to provide your location information in the event that you initiate a 911 call. All phones, with the exception of a few specially...

If he had Alzheimer's they'd have thrown money instead.

Yes, I'm long winded. I figure if I'm going to speak my mind, I might as well speak it fully, whether it's offering up an opinion or information. Too much information is generally preferable to too little. I generally try to give a basic answer in the first paragraph or two, and will then...

Sorry, not even close. :D YouTube - The Magical Word (adult children and those deeply offended by harsh language do not click)

You call it joshing, but based on your previous postings and attitude, it seems disingenuous. It was out of the blue, out of context, and really not called for at all. An awful lot of your comments throughout your posting history here, and elsewhere, dance around the personal attack with cheap...

Yeah, hadn't thought of that. Wouldn't fit. Oh, well. I guess there's always covering a Pringles can.

Don't take a load to Laredo a couple of three days before Memorial Day weekend. You'll be there for 4 or 5 days, and it'll be 112 everyday, with not a cloud in the sky. :D

Was that really necessary?

OK, then we're back to the two brands and models you mentioned, whichever is cheapest. :)

I used to wear a stone shield when I played sports.

Interstate makes a good, cheap cranking battery. After that, it's pretty iffy. Not sure why the dealers aren't carrying Trojans anymore, might be something to take a closer look at. But if you have easy access to US Battery batteries ( :D ) then I'd go that route. You might also look online...

Both batteries are marketed as 12-volt "marine" batteries, both are Group 31 footprints, both are 130Ah at the 20 hour rate, and have 225 minutes of reserve capacity at a 25 Ah draw, and they both weigh 66 pounds, so they are very similar with the same lead content. Here's a list of 17 Trojan...

To have access to that information, at the time, you're probably correct. To have access to that information and experience today, you're wrong. Some of it likely is still classified, but not all of it is, and the practical application of the knowledge of the ramifications of that information...

I used a sanded plywood, 3/4" thick (I think it's actually 23/32), so it's heavy, but so am I. I wanted to make sure it was very sturdy. 1/2" plywood might be better. I used parts of four 4x8 panels, walls, lid and floor of the bunk. I also used 3/4" x 2-1/2" boards to brace the inside of the...

I've been lied to a few times, but it's pretty rare, really. Like LOS said, if anything it's usually a lie of omission, either intentionally or because they don't have all the information in the first place. Most of the times I've been lied to, at least those I know about, my BS Detector goes...

I didn't misunderstand you at all. Saying that because I wasn't there, I cannot have the entire picture, and because you were, you can, is practically the definition of special. If anything, your experience limits the part of the entire picture you can see. Someone in the military is going to...

Any decent fleet owner should already know about generators and a battery bank, Espar heaters and insulation. But many don't want to spend the money for the long term because they are more interested in getting the van on the road and earning revenue in the short term. Many have also been...

Because this is where I live. It's my home. There you go, clogging up cyberspace with rhetoric just to try and force your opinions on others. What's next? You gonna scream at me to tell me to stop screaming at people? Berate me for berating others? Waste your time telling me not to waste my time? :D
