Chapter 5: Time to Bail... After spending the entire day Friday visiting with vendors and other LMTV folks, we back to the camping area. We had eaten lunch, and were ready for a break. Back at camp, there were still new folks being directed into the already crowded 'dispersed' camping area. I...

Great story Eric! Pointman

Mkcoen, I did see Adventure Driven's rig. A nice adaptation for the 1079, and a pleasure to chat with. I agree with your assessment on the Hunter rig. These folks are my 'neighbors' in my same county. I'm hoping to meet them and learn more about what they have been doing. As stated, running...

Chapter 4: WOW!, its Vendor-Rama!! Friday am @ 0600. All I could think about was coffee... I do not know about you, but my day always starts with at least two to synchronize my brain cells. Thank God for Starbucks Via. After waking up we decided to head over to the vendor area. After getting a...

Just got home last evening after a howling rain storm all the way from Fallon to Gardnerville. I had the new part sent to Cashman in Sparks and will collect it later this week.

Chapter Two... That night I logged into the hotel Wi-Fi and learned as much as I could about the 3116 fuel system and this evil 'Solenoid'. I also learned that they were only $80.00 or so on two popular on-line sites. The only problem there was that the nearest one was only days away, as in...

This is your fuel shutoff solenoid if you have a 3116 or 3126. When it fails you aren't going anywhere... Pointman

Chapter 1. We had been planning a long trip in 'Thor' for some time. Overland Expo seemed like a great way to test the recent modifications made and see some beautiful country at the same time. We departed Gardnerville, NV at a decent morning hour on Tuesday the 15th. The goal was to travel...
