RE: First trip with new baby advice
Both of my daughters started camping in our tiny TT at 6 weeks of age. They are in their 50's now and both are still camping. You are starting yours off right.

RE: Read Aloud Books -- follow the bouncing ball
Ditto on the travel games. The License Plate Game and the Alphabet Game were my family's favorites when I was growing up and later with my own kids. Also singing together.

RE: Eagle Cap/Adventurer New Overlander
This "go anywhere you want" idea is a bunch of hooey! More like you can go where your rig fits between or over or under, where it isn't too heavy for the bridges, where it is small enough to pull off to the side because a Jeep club outing with 50 vehicles is coming the other way, etc etc.
I'll keep my Tiger CX, thank you. 87" wide, 9'3" tall, 20 feet long, well under 10K pounds, and a stock Chevy 4x4 chassis.

RE: Bathroom vent cover repair
When I replaced an old broken vent cap about 10 years ago, I first painted the new plastic cap with a Krylon product which was supposed to prevent UV damage. I used several coats of it. The vent cap is still up there doing its job just fine.
Here's a link to the current Krylon product which sounds the most like what I used: https://www.krylon.com/products/uvresistant-clear-coating/

RE: Trip report: High Country of the Eastern Sierra
Thanks for the photos! I didn't get to take my usual Eastern Sierra fall trip this year, and your trip report helped to make up for the loss.

RE: Using a tow vehicle as a windbreak while boondocking
Back in my tenting camping days, we'd park cross-wind, then pile cargo boxes under the van's side door. Kids slept inside and we slept outside on the ground pretty well sheltered from the wind.
Now in the Tiger, I point the hood into the wind even if that means I have to park crosswise in the campsite. This works way better than letting the wind hit the sides.

RE: RVs and California's Planned Power Outages
Can you imagine the problems you could have with high power 100,000 volt lines being buried? Not saying it can't be done, but it is not as easy or safe as you may think.
What if the power lines were buried and then a big earthquake broke them?

RE: Trekking poles
Maybe you are the last one to know, but better now than never. I've been using them for years, sometimes even in town. People stop me in the medical building lobby and ask where to get these poles.

RE: Looking for clear air? Here is a useful smoke map
Thanks. It looks like probably good data if I can ever figure out how to get it to display.
Another site to pair with this AirNow.gov. This compiles air quality data from the agencies which collect it.

RE: Low calorie and high fiber one pot recipes?
This thread has led to the crock pot now being busy cooking "Outside-In Turkey Tamale Pie." My family's favorite (so far) of the Hungry Girl recipes I've tried. This recipe is very tolerant of changes such as more beans or onion powder instead of fresh onions. My next tweak might be using canned chicken instead of fresh raw ground turkey; this change would make the recipe more travel-friendly.

RE: Best selling truck campers (by volume) ?
Agreed that here in the West it is Lance, with Four Wheel as a close second. I see them of all vintages everywhere I go. But they are built here in California and have been for many years. Stats might be different elsewhere.

RE: RVing YouTube videos???
Search YouTube for the kind of travel you want to do - type of vehicle and/or place, for example. Quality varies, but you'll probably find something you like.
When planning my recent trip to remote areas in Oregon, I found YouTube videos from Coyote Works, Primal Outdoors, and Softroadingthewest. All gave an excellent view of the type of country I hoped to visit and I found them useful even though I have a small RV and they had other types and other styles of camping.

RE: Low calorie and high fiber one pot recipes?
Take a look at Hungry Girl's collection. All are low calorie, most are high fiber. Several ways to search. If "crock pot" doesn't do it, try "slow cooker."

RE: Fishing from Accessible Banks in Utah - Where?
Utah Division of Wildlife Resources has a list of accessible fishing spots on its webpage. https://wildlife.utah.gov/accessible-fishing.html
The page starts off with "The following is a list of waters that provide fishing access and good fishing to anglers who have physical challenges. Not all of these areas have hard surfaces, and those that do may not meet ADA standards. For more information, call the municipality or agency in charge of the pond or stream, or call the nearest Division of Wildlife Resources office."
Note the hard surfaces issue. If she is in a wheelchair, hard surfaces will help. Wheels and gravel don't mix too well.
