Built a woodstove. First test run for the bus is coming up this week on our elk hunt and it's supposed to be snowing. This should keep us nice and toasty.

Very nice looking stove. Have you had a chance to test-fire it yet?

How tall is your rig at the top of the stack?

I haven't measured. The stack is just an extension that slips on once at camp. Without the extension, it is just below the roof line.

Yep. They stayed the night in the bus last night. We were surprised to see the trailer still standing after the wind last night.

I have the old now Holley pro jection 2D fuel injection on mine. Anyone try the newer stuff? can only imagine how much further the technology has gone, and what gains are to be had with even better fuel management.

Hamilton fuel injection is not answering my emails so....
Megasquirt as Christopher has suggested I have been reading up on. My wife knows the computer language Megasquirt uses, so she will be able to help with that end of things.

Where at in AZ? Makes me think of Heber or that general area.
A few years ago in our camper we had at the time and the ice and snow froze the door shut. It was 5 degrees and we had gotten a foot of snow, but the heat in the camper melted it just enough to run down the sides and door and refreeze.
The icicles look neat.

Freaky experience when I was younger and moving from Ca. to Fla. Middle of the night realized everything outside was white, wait, I'm in Ari.
