QS camp wish list..

[catmanriff]

not sure I like the levelers in the video. You'd have to stop the trailer precisely where you need with the TV or by hand..

With two they work well as an outdoor kitchen. Since they can be moved easily they make a great drink/snack table when your in the lawn chair enjoying the campfire.

I've put hot pans directly on ours and the anodized aluminum has stained a bit -- so they don't look like new anymore but they are still as functional as ever.

BiMart has them for like $20 in season, for those of us in the Northwest. And if you buy them while in OR for the regional rally, there's NO SALES TAX Ahhhhhhhahahahahahahahaha !!!

I live by these for leveling and have to have

For off grid trips.

Ya, my dealer "gave" me one of those "for free", in return for signing over the better part of $30k when I bought my trailer. Also a crappy sewer hose that separated at the coupler AT THE FIRST DUMP STATION which is NOT GOOD.

I haven't used it for dry camping, but have used it to top off the battery when I couldn't be bothered** connecting to AC to recharge.

All of this post refers to the solar charger in the prior post. Not the plastic block thingies.

Worked great, as far as I was concerned, as it recharged the battery pretty well between the time I hooked it up and the time I got to the campsite 4 days later. Point being, the battery was not at zero, which is all I can attest to, and which is also what it would have been, had I not done anything at all.

** possibly alcohol related laziness was involved

[quote source="/post/17477/thread" timestamp="1451937467" author="@catmanriff"]I thought similar thoughts. I have some leveling shims out of wood. They also have the plastic stacker types.  The QS 10.0 isn't hard to push or pull onto something. So, is a BAL worth it, especially for the space it eats up?  I take it you'd really only need one and it would go under the low side.. [/quote]I think I've mentioned the Lego-type leveling blocks elsewhere, but it may bear repeating. I bought my set from Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0028PJ10K?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00

There are lots of these out there and they all work pretty much the same. We have an 8.1 and I have on occasion successfully horsed it up onto a single row of blocks by main force, but I ain't got much main force not no more  (rofl)   so I've gotten in the habit of drawing her up onto the blocks with the car. 

First I guesstimate how much rise I need using an ordinary torpedo level =>  [a href="https://flic.kr/p/bBY1xc"]

I finally unpacked the Valterra stabilizers this past Sunday. It's a pretty simple design, not meant to jack up the trailer at all but simply give it stability. It's 3 aluminum bars and a ratchet strap.  I think that these will really help the bouncyness  inside the QS.

One of my wish list items just came in today. My old quest tent broke last fall and I'm now kind of glad it did. It will be nice place to escape the bugs and sun this summer.

I'm sitting it now in the living room watching Planet Earth to see how it works. By the way it does go up fast.
