Toilet paper? Nothing worse then having to make an emergency pit stop and end it up walking away with just one sock.


Ha, thanks. I think this is one of the most important thing to bring & easiest to forget. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

Speaking of sleeping, I've got a -12?C 600 down bag. Very good indeed. Got a tent too, just in case, but that's most likely beening used for ski touring in the mtns. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Did check my timing yesterday, turns out it was jumping around 8-10?, so I turned it back to 5?B as I saw mentioned in the chart from another post. It runs & sounds a lot smoother now, & my rpms on hwy are lower than before as mentioned in earlier post. Now it's around 2750rpm at 60mph instead of 2950ish, hope i'll get even better gas mileage from now on.

Going to change oil next week, I guess I should go to synthetic right? I was thinking of Castrol, but would Redline be a bit expensive considering that I'll do 5000km in 4-5days & have to change oil again after that? I'm just using castrol gtx 5w30 oil right now.

One more question: Any idea how to keep the drinking h20 tank from freezing during one of those -15? night when the truck is parked (or while i'm sleeping let's say)? Seems kind of a hard thing to do...Drink it all? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/barf.gif" alt="" />
