I’ll keep this one at the top and will try to keep it updated with summaries of my tweaks. Filling in descriptions is done on a time available basis. Come back occasionally if my babbling is of interest to you. Shortcuts to my tweaks: 12 Volt External Outlet Front Wall Tire Monitor Early on I […]
A bit off topic… Boiler replacement !!!
UPDATED: Added NaviLink WiFi connect. Also added a Whole House Water Monitoring/Shut-off. Last week-or-so-ago the Nest Protect woke me up with a few beeps and the announcement “Carbon Monoxide in Laundry Room, very loud alarm may sound”. Laundry room houses our Boiler and Hot Water tank in a “closet”, both on Natural Gas. I shut […]
Ascape Notes/References
This a place to keep tidbits of information for easy reference. Lug nut torque: 95 lbs, as per Aliner.
First Outing with EV Towing Ascape
First real outing, sort of a shakedown trip. Did a loop, Langley > Hope > Merritt > Logan Lake > Kamloops > Cache Creek and return via Fraser Canyon. I planned a max speed of 90 kmh to conserve. Total trip was 770 kms and required 5 charge stops. I also used […]
High Tech Weigh-In for the Ascape
Next project is to get an accurate weight of the Ascape, including side to side comparison. Have acquired a set of scales that will help.
Using Ioniq 5 as Tow Vehicle
I’ve added the Hyundai hitch setup for my Ioniq 5 and am now good to tow, sort of. The big concern is reduced range. Not like a gasoline powered car that can fill up almost anywhere. Charging stations are still far and few between. The problem is not that of finding a station but that […]
Christmas came early
Took delivery January 19, 2022. Delightful drive home. Hoping to use the Ioniq 5 as tow vehicle for the Ascape on occasion.
Spare Wheel for Hyundai Kona EV
As the Kona EV was my first vehicle that didn’t come with a spare I have been watching the spare tire threads in forums while pondering what to do. I decided to bite the proverbial bullet and go with the Modern Spare solution. I went with the kit that included jack, etc. I did have […]
Testing Blog Entries & Weathercam
I’m experimenting with this post to see behaviour of images, etc. I’m hoping to be able to maintain the blog in real time next camping season.
Ascape Trip July 2019
Placeholder. Sorry for the long silence. Maybe I’ll get some time soon.
Experimenting with hitch weight.
UPDATE-4: Loaded for first trip of the season. On hitch: 1785 lbs. Trailer loaded for travel: 2050 lbs. Resulting hitch weight: 265 lbs. UPDATE-3: After changing battery and solar, etc., etc. I’m at 292 lbs. on the hitch. Not quite actual camping configuration but I think I have it real close. Hope to confirm next trip […]
Changing Table setup to a Lagun Table Leg
The table leg was one of the things I was just living with. Thanks to a post on Facebook I came across the Lagun Table Leg. Easy install and much more practical and comfortable. The floor repair was a bit challenging. The worst part was trimming the floor covering back to level as it […]
Overhead cabinets door holder-upper
Getting things in and of the overhead cabinets is a 2 hand operation without holder-uppers. For the front cabinets I got a bit fancy as those will be used the most. All other overhead doors got holder-uppers readily available at most RV Parts stores. The ones for the front were sourced at Amazon. […]
