Yeah, I see that a lot in house wiring. Residential codes around here stipulate 12 ga and 20 amp outlets for kitchens, but I use pretty much all 12 in my own stuff except for lights. Sort of the "no...

I have a question. Are these GFIs the same as ones used in house wiring? If so, replacement would be cheap enough. I know they come in both 15 and 20 amp. Is the wiring 12 or 14 ga? I wonder about...

I really like the grease fittings on the shackles. That makes so much sense! DO they list an interval for regreasing those?

Is there a way to release the gate so it folds down such that the ramp rest on the edge of the bed rather than the gate? I can only imagine trying to ride a dresser up a ramp perched on the edge of a...

My 2011 Road King Classic turned into a Subaru when the Primate turned threee. ABS saved me one wild night late... Pike's Peak, Tail of the Dragon, I don't miss it either. Glad for the memories, the...

Many thanks for the sage advice. I think I lean toward holding out to find one that has the polymer sidewalls, plywood rather than waferboard in the floors, and a sturdy roof. We won't be...

Now that's the dose of reality I was hoping to get. So many factors to consider, and I'd forgotten about aluminum frames. I've got some more research to do, it seems. I know the cold weather package...

Yup, that's the one I've been eying. It looks good, low miles, no leaks, price seems right. Main concern is that this is so early in my search process that I'm afraid of jumping at a chance without...

What I think about when I see references to the ecoboost 3.5 and towing is the load on the engine. I suppose with the best in load leveling/stabilizing hitches and the Canadian mindset of configuring...

Can you put a wood stove in it? The roof warranty would be void, but the flashing and pipe can be capped. The dry heat would counteract humidity buildup. It's a hillbilly fix, but...

These ideas make a lot of sense. I'm personally a fan of heavy Chevys, but many people like the Tundra. Seems towing on soft springs and P tires is risky (do they make a 10 ply rated for that wheel...
