HALLMARK 6X12 CONVERSION

[McDave]

OK Tommy,
One last idea or concept really, cuz, NEVER say Die! Currently the issue is that a siphon can't be achieved because the delta between the tanks is too close. Correct? So the solution to that issue would be A: raise aux. tank or B: lower main tank
Digggin holes sucks without a backhoe or a chinaman, so lets focus on A: raise aux tank. Probably wont take a lot but lower aux must be higher than upper main. Water is heavy but luckily yours comes with a motor. Soooooo...... how bout a couple ramps to drive up or back up, or a "stand" that raises the tank in the bed just enough or both. Also, If you can get the hose down the filler neck into the water and drain or use some from main tank that will pull a suction and remember "water seeks it's own level" so it may want to all go in lower tank if you don't stop it. You can also use some of the main water to backfeed the hose and push all the air out, then the water in the hose will be heavy and no air and right at the filler. Air will kill a siphon. OK, Pop a top on some genius fluid and see what you come up with.

Well its done. I just let my inner red neck come out, as usual. Used what I had, Bought what I didn't. It works. charging up the extra battery now @12.6 so the test was done on house hold current. Took about 10-12 minuets but smooth and lever controlled at the fill port. Standard 3/4 hose and fittings.

Merry Christmas every body!

Nice job Tommy! Glad you made it work. Merry Christmas!! I got your e-mails on Jan.. I'll reply here shortly.

[McDave]

It's a beautiful thing. Problem solved. Next?
Merry Christmas, Tommy. I got you a new Cadillac, but it may be delayed because of the weather down there. I don't know how you folks do it.

If you are bored or house bound due to weather.
Have to rearrange my routine as far as loading truck bed for new auxiliary water tank. Still working it. Needed to cut 4x4 with chain saw and realized the gas
tank I set out side the garage because it was full and fresh...grew legs and ran away. Yup, thieves. Locking up LP tanks and moving the rig around back. Need to store some of this stuff inside the rig between trips, H2O auxiliary would be empty of course.

Next post is of my very old GPS 12 I used for Off shore Navigation before I up Graded. 2002 vintage, Maybe 1999 in design. Must use what I have right? It will be fun utilizing it in Ocala. No road maps what so ever. Location spot on x12 satellites though right?
Oh that invertor may have found a home there with a battery one day. Just checking out options as always.

Happy New Year!

Scotty...BEAM ME UP!

I'll put some batteries in my Garmin this time for our January ride.. I also have the Grid map for the ONF with all the jeep trails and etc. marked. We may not know where we want to go.. but we will know where we are at!

[Tommy B]

Well I finally just ordered this grill along with the griddle and carry bag. The full size grill I was using was just too much trouble to bring along but I will miss it I'm sure. After I ordered it I realized it did not have the electronic igniter but oh well, neither does the stove top in the CT. Hope it performs well. Nothing like a grilled rib eye after some long hard riding. Now I just need that little champion generator and I'm set.

I don't know if I will do it but I thought I might hook it up to a 20 lb. cylinder to avoid the small bottle hassle. Would I need a regulator??
Anybody know?? I will try at home of course.

[McDave]

Hey Tommy,
I think you'll be wantin' one of these.

19.50 on amazon
Done.
Mr. Mcdave, thank you once again.

Just drop a shot glass full of Whiskey in one of these and down the hatch. Should take the chill out of them old Montana bones for a bit!
If I could Id buy you one or six at your local pub.

[McDave]

Well OK then, I'll take six.
Much obliged.

Nice grill Tommy! You'll be glad you downsized on that. That did look like too much to tote around. I use mine small grill and it works great for one or two people.

[Donut757]

Nice little grill. Huge fan of a griddle. Makes some simple things easily doable while camping (bacon and pancakes always a favorite)

[Tommy B]

Well I just could not wait any longer on this. With our January camping trip only 12 days away or so. Will not have to pester Don for a battery charge now. Will be able to transfer that extra 35 gallons now with out using that convertor. May look into a small Mr coffee too. Maybe a TV/DVD combo come spring though I don't watch much TV it might be nice when the weather turns bad. But that can wait a bit. It will be nice to run the maxx air vent fan at night and not worry about running down the battery.

Don cant wait. My back is only now 100%. Really looking forward to some new trails.

[Tommy B]

I was looking at this.
Axess 19-Inch LED Full HDTV, Includes AC/DC TV, DVD Player, HDMI/SD/USB Inputs, TVD1801-19

Not sure if its all worth the effort and $$ though. Plus space is limited. Would mount it just above and to the right of the small fold down small counter. One moment while I find that pic.

Is it worth the trouble Might need to be eye level when seated so I don't get a neck ache but that may be a bad spot when loaded up. Not sure but NO rush on this.
