    MSG = Yum Yum

    It is considered a flavor enhancer. It works by causing your taste buds to swell increasing their surface area.

    Camping coffee bags

    Dealing with coffee grounds, and cleaning the pots can be a hassle if you travel with minimum water, etc. But I'm sure the coffee pots you mentioned make much better coffee than I'm used to while camping.

    Camping coffee bags

    I did as you suggested and there's a lot of options out there. Roughly two cents per bag plus my own coffee. I may give them a try. Thanks!

    Camping coffee bags

    Now this is an idea that I've had for a while but never could seem to put it together. But then at the store yesterday when I was heading out to my campsite I found these Folgers coffee bags. Woke up to 38° temperature and was able to easily put together some hot coffee. It's not too bad and...

    Question About Showering on BLM Land

    My guess is if you keep the water volume down to few gallons and use a natural soap it shouldn't matter too much. What are some decent soaps that can be used for this purpose?

    How soon will electric or hybrid vans/RVs be common?

    Once I wear out my AWD Sienna camper I'd like to have EXACTLY what you have. I'd install a class 3 hitch and tow a 10ft Aliner.

    Questions about pulling a small Aliner with a mini van

    Hi Ray- 14 to 15 mpg is not too good! That little 4-banger was working pretty hard. Which engine did it have?

    Questions about pulling a small Aliner with a mini van

    My Sienna has an AT cooler from the factory. BUT, I plan to install a Scangauge2 and monitor the ATF temperature. I can add a secondary cooler if necessary. Also equally as important is AT preventative maintenance, which includes fluid changes commensurate with the duty severity of the tranny.

    Miles per year?

    The longest I have been out in my van is 3 weeks and 5000 miles. Hoping I can do more trips of that length once I retire (next year!).

    Questions about pulling a small Aliner with a mini van

    Nice set up. Any idea what his mpg is w/o towing and with towing?

    Questions about pulling a small Aliner with a mini van

    Well, I like you guys a lot so thought I'd post here first. :) I am a member of Siennachat.com and for sure will ask there, too. I've read about the Aliner and mpg, some people said they barely noticed they were towing it, others said their mpg dropped significantly. I am sure these answers are...
