Not sure if we can attend or not. My neighbor (who I have camped with so I know what he likes) has stayed at that Ol Pembina several times and really liked it. David

Actually after I invited you to the other site I noticed that you had already posted over there. lol I didn't install a surge protector. Don't know if I need to I am hardly ever plugged in, especially now with the solar panel. There may physically be enough room behind there but you have to...

Nice to see another Albertan on the board, and a fellow North Trailer at that. Welcome. I have spent just the one season with my solar panel. I have one 110 watt panel that is charging 2 - 6 volt batteries. It puts out a rated maximum of 6.7 amps but that would be in ideal conditions. The most...

I'm with Smokey Bare, the well nuts are all that is required and they don't need to be into a rafter. I was a little skeptical at first but they do a nice job. David

You know this is a pet peeve of mine too! Guys like me that are vertically challenged as well as "horizontally" ;-) challenged can have a hard time with that window. It is a well built trailer though and I would buy it again if I had to do over. David

I have a 28BHS but yours may be in the same place. My pump is under one side of the dinette. The wood was screwed down here when the trailer was new and had to be removed to gain access. It has the winterizing hose and valve attached ready to go. The water heater bypass is under our back bed...

I believe that this was changed not long after initial production started and is no longer a problem. I have a 2009 and the faucet is centered. David

I think I only have a 30 gallon tank in the North Trail and we made it 10 days this summer without dumping the black and there is 2 adults and 3 kids. I do try to use the outhouse during the day. If in the total boonies then there isn't an outhouse I know. You could consider carrying one of...

As reported by smday, in Alberta the scales do base whether you are legal or not by the tires on the axle. I don't agree with it because you will almost always exceed the GAWR for your truck never mind the GVWR. It is what it is in Alberta until they change it. I believe some of the blame for...

We REALLY wanted to come but just too many things on the weekends now that the kids are back in school. Hopefully next year the date can be announced further in advance so we can make sure we are there. David

Yeah I have seen the wooden ones as well and really I could have done the same thing but the metal actually weighs a lot less for the strength. This box is very light compared to making it from plywood with a frame underneath. Thanks to all for the kind words. David

I have a few "ripples" in my exterior too. I know where each one is and they are a normal thing as far as I am concerned. In fact, changes in temperature and humidity make them better / worse. I keep an eye on them just to make sure they don't develop into anything. They seem to be where a major...

I actually had this project completed just prior to the Labor Day weekend but didn't get around to taking any pictures. Did the final cleanup for the season and winterizing today and thought I better get some pictures before I head to the storage tomorrow. We are typically dry camping most of...

The mount system that came with my panel consisted of a rubber well nut that basically swelled up once the bolt "drew" the nut upwards. I was worried about it at first and yes the 1/4" made me nervous. FYI there are no studs up there, only block foam and a couple of aluminum cross members...

We won't be able to make it that weekend. :( I was really hoping it would be the weekend after but with the kids back in school there are weekend activities now. I unfortunately can't miss the one on the 19th. Maybe next time. David
