    Camp Masters....

    I remember someone on the RV forum did a test of his power drain and determined that running every LED on his trailer at the same time was less power than one incandescent. Seems like it was about $10 per bulb but I switched out the most commonly used first, then the rest over time...saw an immediate difference.

    Also check out RV.net forums. I spend as much time in there as I do on cwt and have learned a ton. http://www.rv.net/forum/

    Camp Masters....

    Yeah check the age on the tires...not just mileage. Whenever the battery needs replacement, consider 2x 6v golf cart batteries if it doesn’t already have them. I also replaced all of our incandescent light bulbs with LED which made a huge difference in battery life without running the generator. Seems silly but one other thing we really like that I added is USB ports for charging phones and other devices off the battery without running the generator or plugging inside the truck. Lots of other good stuff mentioned on here already.

    Bill Quimby

    I was lucky enough to meet him once...very briefly as I delivered some ammo (an obscure caliber I'd never seen before...probably for African game) to him from another CWT member. Very kind man who took time to chat with me and even shared a quick story.

    Truck Cover ?

    How often do you drive it? In my limited experience years ago it becomes a pain if you drive it more than once or twice a week.

    DRAW DEADLINE!

    I usually count on you guys to remind me but was ahead of the game this year. Rollin the dice on late kaibab and some desert sheep this year. No more buying points since I will never have enough anyhow.Might as well roll them. Good luck! I drew early kaibab and late Dec coues without a lot of points...it can happen.

    Always Good Idea to Watch for Changing Regs

    Exactly. Ill probably never buy another lion tag just in case...unless I ever actually decide to go out specifically for lion.

    Always Good Idea to Watch for Changing Regs

    Some units had the multi-tag limit where you could kill more than 1 per year (1 per day I think) until whatever limit was reached, then it was 1 per year. This is more like bear where the unit is closed once the limit is reached.

    Always Good Idea to Watch for Changing Regs

    Too much to keep up with now...may not be worth getting a lion tag every year "just in case" anymore...

    Any private pilots here?

    Pretty random topic, but hey thats what the campfire is about. Ive always had a desire in the back of my mind to take flying lessons...dont exactly know how or when it started but maybe even back to when I was a kid. Just wondering if any pilots here (I know at least one guys screen name has pilot in it) and any advice or pointers on getting started. Yeah I know its expensive.
