I think it's a 3 gallon pail but a fat 2 gallon would work too. There's no standard shape for a 10# (or 5#) propane tank. I use milk crates for the 20# tanks.
I have a counter top induction so the...
I carry a 10# which, conveniently, fits in a plastic pail while traveling. I use around 2# per night with my Little Red fire pit. A pound of propane contains 21,000 BTU so a Lavabox at full throttle...
Everything is for sale in the off season. Actually I suspect that anything not rented is for sale.
I use a Camco Little Red campfire. Easy to transport and a fully adjustable flame. There's also a Big Red.

What do you mean by "kept turning off"? Was there an error code on the display? Some of my chargers will cycle on and off once they thing the battery is fully charged. Or they flash an error code if...
Why is that trucker using light weight cable chains?
Apparently winter driving and using chains is not part of any commercial driver training. There's a filmed in BC show called Highway through...
I installed two 6V GC2 batteries and get 7-10 days of independence. I stopped bringing my generator. Bringing water from home means I don't have to deal with boil water advisories and other issues.
At 8am, it was bumper to bumper from Function to Callaghan. I was driving home to Langley - easy driving all the way.
The Creekside lineup was down the highway and back towards Legends.
A bed, bathroom, and fridge are the three must haves in a camper.
It's getting colder and snowing to the valley.
There was talk of a ski hill in Chilliwack. Mount Cheam is 2,100m. It's part of the North Cascades and there's several peaks and ridges over 2,000m.
I wanted my Thule ski box far enough forward to clear the hatch on my Grand Cherokee. I had to lengthen the slots since the front crossbar isn't very forward. I used a router. The end of the slot is...
I have Pacbrake airbags on my '02 Dodge 3500. They help level the truck with a camper in the back. The factory suspension has overload leafs that engage when loaded and I add around 20 psi so that...
New ski resort in Saudi Arabia
There's also a "Whistler Blackcomb Day Pass" for 1 to 10 days for around $110 per day. More if you want to include peak days which are just the various holidays. It's a version of the Edge Card and...
I went to a slimmer roof box because the underground parking in Whistler tends to be low (6' 9" in my building). Most home garages have a 7' (max) door so any taller vehicle may have issues with a...
I get 15-16 US mpg with my old Dodge 3500 Diesel and Northern Lite camper. I'm not in a hurry and most mountain roads are 90 km/h and lower (55mph).
My truck (Dodge Cummins) is set to defuel if the exhaust gas temperature is too high. The slow speed, high load will also overheat the tranny and might cause defuelling. All modern Diesels are...
It's automatically added to your shopping cart along with the applicable taxes.
The web site forces you to a new card but if you renew over the phone you can use your existing card.
My knowledge is 20 years old. RVs do park overnight in the lot by the Timberline lodge. It can get windy. There's also the Trillium Lake forest rec sites off Hwy 26.
A conventional ammeter is connected IN SERIES with the battery; not parallel (across the terminals) like a voltmeter. Disconnect the negative terminal and connect the ammeter. The ammeter should be...
You're trusting that all the various ground straps and connections are secure. You should check (and clean) the entire electrical path from the battery to your charger.
Modern vehicles have crazy...
The voltage drop is determined by the resistance and the currant (amps). 2 gauge is a big wire. At 10 amps your voltage drop is 0.04V. At 40 amps the drop is 0.175V.
This is why a DC-DC converter...
And there are two wires so it's 14' out and 14' back.
On my slide in camper the batteries are in the back and opposite the connector. From the connector it's about 20' (8' across + 10' back + 2'...
I disagree. Your vehicle charger is set up to charge the vehicle battery. If you house batteries are close then your direct connect would be ok. If your house batteries are 30' or more (of wire) away...
This came up on the news yesterday. A skier in the Mt Baker side country saw something out of the corner of his eye. It was a snowboard in the snow under a tree. The skier was wearing a POV camera so...
"they are seeing some very positive behavioural changes as it relates to traffic and congestion" - I see less people going skiing. I guess that's good for me.
I look after a place with outdoor...
Sounds like Hyundai gives you a lot of control. I'd expect regen to be most useful in mountain country with long descents.
I'm curious - if you're coasting down a hill can it hold a speed using regen? Is hill descent control a thing with EVs? To me it makes total sense to hold a speed if I lift off the throttle.
The entire event is posted on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ld4eSi20ogw. The event was livesteamed using a StarLink rig which is new. A lot of Whistler events now use QR codes and links...
First you need to measure your battery compartment to figure out what will fit.
Second, your fridge will kill you. 60W/hr is 5A/hr or 120 A-hr per day. That's too much for a couple of 12V...
According to current BC land use policies:

Any person may camp on Crown land for up to 14 consecutive calendar days.
For the purposes of calculating 14 consecutive...
The lift status says all lifts open (except Franz's). The lifts can run on Diesel if needed; they're just slow. The mountain cams shows people up there.
The down side is if you get sued then the accounts can be seized. My brother operates excavators and doesn't want his name on anything.
Another issue is registered accounts (RRSP, TFSA, etc) that...
My passport (Canada) doesn't include my middle name because it's optional. Now I need to include an affidavit with any legal paper paperwork explaining why my driver's license and passport are really...
In my Grand Cherokee the battery is under the passenger seat. The OEM battery has a vent hole that connects to a hose that goes somewhere. Since the seat is powered and has to move all the way...
They're almost the same. For example, an Interstate group 27 deep cycle battery is 600 CCA. A starter group 27 battery is 700-810 CCA (depending on price). Deep cycle batteries have 5/16" posts....
The only way to test a lead-acid battery is with a load tester. You measure the voltage while drawing 100A. Any battery shop will test for free or you buy one for $40-60.
If you have a...
Regular [daily] passenger rail service using self-powered Budd cars ended in 2002. It was like bus service from North Vancouver to Prince George with stations, flag stops and mail drops in the middle...
Drove home to Langley this morning and the traffic to Whistler was bumper-to-bumper from Callaghan on, then no traffic, then a wheels-up SUV and emergency vehicles blocking northbound Highway 99..

That's something that's never addressed - where to hang wet stuff. A friend put a rod in the bathroom/shower which was perfect to hang wet gear. It had ducting from the furnace too.
How big a place? Property managers like Vacasa start at $250 for a one bedroom condo in April in Whistler..

Your panel shouldn't buzz. You need to figure out what's buzzing. It could be something loose or something replaceable like a circuit breaker or fuse.
I have a small plug in inverter to charge my...
From the way it's sitting the centre of gravity is behind the rear axle. The article doesn't mention how the tie-downs are attached to the frame since that matters too.
A friend cracked the frame...
For my previous camper I built tall HD sawhorses so I didn't need to lower the camper much. With my current camper with electric jacks I lower it to the ground in a few minutes.
The old hydraulic...
I have a 2019 Northern Lite and the propane furnace works great. Electronic ignition and it doesn't use too much power or propane. Last spring, with temperatures down to 0C at night I used about 3.5#...
Around 30cm on my driveway in Langley. It took 3 hours with the tractor to clear a path to the road.
There;s a big time lag - 5+ years - between snowfall in the accumulation zone and melting in the ablation zone. The upper glacier can be getting deeper while the leading edge is retreating or the...
