Not getting any travelling in this year due to risk and actual wild fires in BC. Does not make for relaxed travel so we’re skipping a year. Hopefully only one. Will be re-visiting my mods/tweaks made over the years. Will be doing this in spits & spurts as the camping bug rears up.
Summary of My Ascape Tweaks
I’ll keep this one at the top and will try to keep it updated with summaries of my tweaks. Filling in descriptions is done on a time available basis. Come back occasionally if my babbling is of interest to you. Shortcuts to my tweaks: 12 Volt External Outlet Front Wall Tire Monitor Early on I […]
A bit off topic… Boiler replacement !!!
UPDATED: Added NaviLink WiFi connect. Also added a Whole House Water Monitoring/Shut-off. Last week-or-so-ago the Nest Protect woke me up with a few beeps and the announcement “Carbon Monoxide in Laundry Room, very loud alarm may sound”. Laundry room houses our Boiler and Hot Water tank in a “closet”, both on Natural Gas. I shut […]
Ascape Notes/References
This a place to keep tidbits of information for easy reference. Lug nut torque: 95 lbs, as per Aliner.
First attention after taking delivery.
First weigh-in was at a Highway Scale. Had to settle for total weight and calculated hitch weight as Highway Scales are not setup for side to side measurements.
Test for a new Blog
maybe?
First Outing with EV Towing Ascape
First real outing, sort of a shakedown trip. Did a loop, Langley > Hope > Merritt > Logan Lake > Kamloops > Cache Creek and return via Fraser Canyon. I planned a max speed of 90 kmh to conserve. Total trip was 770 kms and required 5 charge stops. I also used […]
High Tech Weigh-In for the Ascape
Next project is to get an accurate weight of the Ascape, including side to side comparison. Have acquired a set of scales that will help.
Using Ioniq 5 as Tow Vehicle
I’ve added the Hyundai hitch setup for my Ioniq 5 and am now good to tow, sort of. The big concern is reduced range. Not like a gasoline powered car that can fill up almost anywhere. Charging stations are still far and few between. The problem is not that of finding a station but that […]
Christmas came early
Took delivery January 19, 2022. Delightful drive home. Hoping to use the Ioniq 5 as tow vehicle for the Ascape on occasion.
Spare Wheel for Hyundai Kona EV
As the Kona EV was my first vehicle that didn’t come with a spare I have been watching the spare tire threads in forums while pondering what to do. I decided to bite the proverbial bullet and go with the Modern Spare solution. I went with the kit that included jack, etc. I did have […]
Testing Blog Entries & Weathercam
I’m experimenting with this post to see behaviour of images, etc. I’m hoping to be able to maintain the blog in real time next camping season.

Placeholder. Sorry for the long silence. Maybe I’ll get some time soon.
