Re: My camperization (L300)

I think the mosquito net is just a no name thing from canadian tire. The mattress is two inch queen size memory foam, with more compression straps I think it could go even smaller.

Re: Fuel economy... what's yours?

I had been curious about the same, but I've heard arguments both ways. Larger AT tires obviously have more rolling friction thus reducing fuel efficiency, but also that larger AT tires have more rolling momentum that would cancel this out...

Re: Captain Chair wobble fix pictures needed

Ah, that's what I figured when I looked at it, the retaining plates are shimmed up to take up the play in the turn plate (due to worn bushing or whatever).

Re: Captain Chair wobble fix pictures needed

I'm trying to understand why this works...
I looked at my wobbly captains chairs today, they already have a washer then a lock washer then a bolt.

Adding another washer is going to fix the wobble?
