    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Pleasant surprise!

    I have a Mr Buddy heater. It heats really well. But the by-product of the propane combustion is water vapor and a tiny amounts of other nasty gases. Water vapor in a camper produces a lot of condensation. Even with the vents open and the fantastic fan moving air, it doesn't remove enough water...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West New Lagun Table also adds more counter space

    I like the dual purpose, use it inside or out! Great idea!

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Pleasant surprise!

    Great idea, Squatch! My fleet has a similar setup on the bottom side. Time to invest in some insulation! :) A comment on the arctic pack, it does do a good job of keeping warm/cool inside the camper. The major drawback for me is condensation. Moisture will still collect on the pop up canvas...

    Only other place I've looked for the flexible panels is Amazon. They carry them, but more expensive. Not sure the brands are the same.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Flexible Solar on polycarbonate sheet

    EnviroProf, I installed a nearly identical setup as Alvis - same 120W panel from Solar Blvd, polycarbonate sheet from Home Depot and 3M VHB tape from Amazon. I mounted with a home brew aluminum frame to my yakima rack tracks. I've had this out in the forest through trees, central Oregon...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West FWC Fleet Gas-Jerry Can Mount

    * 5 gallon plastic jerry can, 3 pounds * 5 gallons of gas 31.5 pounds. * (guess) The steel and aluminum weigh about 6 pounds. Looks like 40.5 pounds. The mount is 9 inches deep and 13 inches tall. And as mentioned, 22 inches wide. I think you may be hinting at the force on the camper by the...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West FWC Fleet Gas-Jerry Can Mount

    Traveling in rural Oregon and Washington, having a extra fuel can take the stress out of exploring. Along with a tire repair kit and tools, extra fuel means more freedom. The Toyota Tacomas are a great rig, but the v6, manual transmission and extra weight do not lend themselves to great fuel...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Rear electrical plug

    I ended up getting this panel and I love it. https://www.solarblvd.com/products/solar-cynergy-flexible-bendable-120-watt-12-volt-solar-panel/ Total $160 shipped. It only weighs about a pound. I built a platform for it, taking inspiration from @Alvis...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Fan options?

    We have one of these, Portable Fan-tastic Fans https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0000AY2Z6. Works well! Not sure the amp draw, but I can't imagine it's much more than the stock fantastic fan that came with our Fleet.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Jack Brackets

    @Joez3 The table/cart my dad picked up when they shut down a mill many years ago. I think it was used to carry sheathing for making plywood. It's about 3.5 feet wide and 7 feet long. It is made from 2 inch (1/8"+ thick?) angle iron. Very sturdy. It sits high, about 3.5 feet. but that makes it...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Jack Brackets

    Joez3, That is exactly what I did. Used a 5 1/2" wide piece of steel. I can't recall the thickness, but it is very close to the jack flange thickness. Here is picture. I painted them black. I purchased new bolts for it as well. https://photos.app.goo.gl/YEKKp0ac6djqowiK2 Edit: more pics...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West screws where they shouldn't be

    I might be inclined to insert short screws into the exterior holes, with sealant, if there were a stud behind the siding. I'm interested in finding out what others would do. And don't feel bad, I've done much worse.
