1350 miles worth of bugs to clean off.
Hey @eric strt6 any recommendations? I think I've seen you mention cleaning tips before.

Bugs. AutoZone sells a gallon jug of bug cleaner. That and a scrub brush worked for me

Saw a Roadtrek 210 Popular out on the road today.
Amazing that all these Class Bs really are meant for 2 people.

mmmm...empty nest....
Then you’re old and decrepit and walk the 100 feet to the paved edge of the trail overlooking the Grand Canyon.
The time to travel is when the kids (and presumably you) are young-ish.
aw hell naw. if i'm old and decrepit in 9 years you can come put me put of my misery. i ride harder now then i did 10 years ago, and i'll be able to ride a lot more once i'm rid of those little fuckers.
He's just bitter 'cause he's gonna be like 72 when the last one leaves the house.
Me? Ima barely be 50. And 50 is the new 25, dontchaknow?
but yeah...those fancy ass campers are for empty nesters
High Five! I'll be 48.Me? Ima barely be 50. And 50 is the new 25, dontchaknow?
BEGONE SPAWN!
Do you have an IG for your trip?
I’ll be 54. Maybe 53 if she skips.He's just bitter 'cause he's gonna be like 72 when the last one leaves the house.

Wait... you're not 40 yet??I’ll be 54. Maybe 53 if she skips.
I'm whatever age I am now, but had to acquiesce to the DSO this year as wife badly wanted a dog.
Stoney is older than me! I’m a mere 37.Wait... you're not 40 yet??
Fvck that, I started traveling in an FJ40 with a tent at 18 skipped rug rats stayed with tents until 52 when we got the camper and I am still traveling all over hell at 62. I have no intention of stopping or becoming a decrepit old fucker anytime soon.
There's a whole lot of truth to that. We ran into many older couples who told us they wished they had traveled more when they were younger as their health had declined to the point where they could no longer do what they wanted to do.
I’ve seen them in my own National Park escapades. Old people… are everywhere
63 in 2 months

Just installed new shocks on the truck. It took all of 30 minutes. Rancho 9000xl with fully user adjustable dampening that requires no tools
Some guy on the RV forum just stated that I shouldn't tighten or loosen a nut or bolt with my racheting torque wrench as I will wear it out. WTF should Ido with it then? Keep it on the peg board all nice and shiny? I am going to use the hell out of it.
I never loosen with a torque wrench, I'd just use a normal ratchet for that.
I tighten, but use my breaker bar to loosen. I broke a torque wrench once on a stuck bolt. Breaker bars are cheaper.
Same. Torque wrench is for torquing, not for busting nuts.
It was more for leverage in a tight spot where I could not use arm strength. It was less than 50 foot pounds. I was not going to go out and buy a same length breaker bar for one time use on two bolts. Rather spend that money buying good tacos for lunch all week

i have about 3000 miles worth of bugs...still not done driving....
The water level indicator on my fresh tank stopped working. I had to take the camper off the truck anyways today so that I could take it in for new front tires tomorrow. I popped the access hatch and the problem was obvious. Broken hot wire. Strip, solder and tape five minute fix and it's fixed
Oh yeah I also resealed the seam between the nosecap and the rubber roof with self leveling dicor
Tighten loosen with regular ratchet handle. Set torque with torque wrench. You WILL "wear it out" in the sense that it will go out of calibration sooner. You are additionally increasing the likelihood that you will accidently damage it / screw up the cal.
This one lives under the back seat of the truck it's function is torquing lug nuts on the wheels. Breaking two nuts once is not something I am going to worry about. My expensive torque wrench on the work bench is a whole nother matter.
The VW Phoenix. Holy hell, I want one.
