    two 12v dying after heater use.

    Yep, I figured based on year and make your Moho is gas (propane) heater and fridge. The heater still has a 12v fan and an igniter so those could be a problem. And your fridge is a 3-way so make sure it isn't getting switched to electric if it is a 12v fridge. If you have an inverter, turn that...

    two 12v dying after heater use.

    Assume your heater is propane? Have you checked the fan motor in your heater? You could have a bearing going out or another issue causing the blower motor to have a heavy amp draw. You can put a clamp-on meter on it while it is running to check the power draw. Otherwise you likely have something...

    Bent Trailer Axle

    Is this a single axle trailer? Have you taken any basic measurements to try to see what's going on? Measure across from tire to tire at fwd side of tire and aft side of tire and compare. You may have a bent axle or you may have axle mounts on the trailer that aren't square. Whet make of trailer...

    Working or not working between Christmas and New Years?

    As my wife would say, I'm "working" (add sarcasm in the air quotes) from home. Back to the office on 1/6.

    I forgot about Proto. We are a heavy industrial setting at work and Proto is what we buy for our folks to use. Never hear any complaints. I would call it mid-price stuff but good quality. I also have a Husky socket and ratchet set on my boat I've had for about 10 years now. It has served me...

    Tool Talk

    I didn’t realize CAT tools are same as Snap on. Next time I have to go to my CAT dealer for boat engine parts I’ll have to see what they have. I looked at some stuff online after your post. Sounds like the CAT tools are like 75% less than same Snap on.

    Agree on Ebay and vintage stuff. I have some S-K. They are still in business and will warranty any S-K tools. I also have a lot of older Craftsman USA stuff.

    Tool Talk

    I was planning to buy one of their boxes with tools for my new trailer. I looked at them at the SSSS and honestly wasn't impressed. The boxes are pretty flimsy and the tools looked no better than other basic stuff. I opted for a HF box and some tools for far less money and the stuff seems as...

    Tool Talk

    What line of tools are folks using these days? I'm talking mostly hand tools here. I used to buy mainly Snap On, Mac, Matco and similar if I could find decent deals. I've recently bought some HF Icon and been happy with it thus far. I've bought a few things in SunEx that have been good too. I...

    Gas tank repair

    What type of material is the tank? Steel or Aluminum? Should be easy enough to weld it around the base of the filler neck. Although JB Weld would likely hold for quite some time if you get it clean first. Fill and rinse the tank several times if you are going to weld it. And I would fill it with...

    So who are the builders of Sandcars now?

    There was just a thread yesterday asking about BFD on a FB page. The owner of BFD, Stephen posted to that thread. He said he had to close shop and shut down. But he also mentioned he plans to reopen in another location with a partner that is an existing shop/builder. Will be interesting to see...

    Sand Car Security In Dunes- What Do You Do?

    Did not know this. My new car will have a Switch Pro. Sounds similar to our wakeboard boat which has the same type of code capability.

    Sand Car Security In Dunes- What Do You Do?

    I'm curious what folks do, if anything, about securing your sand cars at the dunes? I'm not necessarily talking about at camp but when you go to the Beach Store or Vendor's Row, Duner's Diner, etc. I was watching a YouTube Vid this morning of a guy videoing nice cars parked in front of the...

    and what size is that wire you're vice gripping in? Looks like maybe #10? Which is only good for 30 amp max. Might as well violate every code and exceed all limits while you're at it ;):)

    So who are the builders of Sandcars now?

    Russ sold BFD to one of the guys that worked there about 5 years ago I think. He tried to make a go of it and looked to be doing OK for a few years. Latest I've heard from people that tried to do business there in the last year or so was the guy pretty much went MIA. I sold a BFD to a guy last...
