  • Adding some trucking to the channel again, unfortunately it's a bust with not a busy truckstop.
    On the upside it's the coldest night yet camping in the truckcamper.

    Spending the night or nights in your truck camper? I missed the part about what was your heart source is? Using a Honda five thousand watt generator for power source and a small space heater. This arrangement will keep your truck camper warm and toasty. The generator holds almost one gallon of gasoline and that amount of fuel will keep the generator running about eight hours. Also this same generator will power a five thousand btu window air conditioner. I use this arrangement in my semi truck and avoid idling my truck while parked. It takes very little time to set this arrangement up and have it heating or cooling your camper or semi truck.

    Hi Kurt, I enjoy all your videos. Just a trick breaking eggs. Use a flat surface, not the edge of the pan. Less chance of getting shell, believe it or not, and less chance of broken yolks. Try it I didn't believe it either, but I'm an older dork, and it works for me.

    Re the calendar - I did my dissertation on knowledge management systems in the city hall of a major city. Even though there was a shared electronic calendar system, everyone I interviewed also had a paper calendar of some type. There was something about what I called 'seeing across time' that made the paper calendars useful. People could see future dates better and for calendars with multiple months, like a big wall calendar, they could see back and forward. I was surprised. It was an interesting finding and indicated to me that we aren't anywhere near a paperless office.
    Something I've learned since - there is a difference between reading print and reading digital. That's why you want to make sure kids who are learning to read, learn from books. It's something about how reading print wires the brain. So looking back, there may have been some brain thing going on with the office workers that made them want to have a paper calendar available.

    Leave Christmas lights up until January 7(the day after the Feast of the Epiphany on January 6). Also, as you see one downside of using a propane heater inside is the condensation from the moisture produced by the combustion of propane, but still better than the onboard furnace which is less efficient, and takes quit a bit of electricity to run the fan. Good video!

    Watching all the problems with the “new” camper it’s a piece of junk. The top extension and plastic is going to fail and the electrical is going to catch on fire. Having a heater next to a propane tank!
    Dump it and get something newer less cost of ownership it will be much more dependable safer and be more fun.

  • @patrickinottawa27
    @patrickinottawa27 Рік тому

    Kurt, you might want to look into a "Jump Pack" to bring camping, since your truck doesn't like the winter months. Likewise, you can use it for your other vehicles as well. All our local towing services use them for boosting vehicles and getting power to newer vehicle, which require power to get into neutral and release the parking brake, prior to being towed in to a service facility. newer vehicles like my 2019 Chev Equinox, when the battery failed, it goes into power saving mode, which puts the vehicle into a total lock down. You can't get it out of park, it even sets the electronic parking brake, locks the vehicle and arms the alarm system, and it stays that way till it gets another power source or totally kills the battery. Sara's new Jeep probably does the same thing. If you want to camp in the woods off a remote back road during winter, it might save you a long cold walk.

Those tend not to seal well and can lift up a bit in a very strong wind. I feel you with the O.C.D. thing. I insist on keeping things original, too. Iowa is beautiful. Thank you for sharing the adventure. Stay safe, and God bless.

Sorry, gave up camping in the cold when I left Germany. Ain't no place colder nor wetter than a forest in Germany, in January.....no matter what you do, you're cold and wet.
