    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Ever wish you had a winch?

    I have the Extremeaire (http://www.extremeoutback.com/product/8/ExtremeAire+12+Volt+Compressor+Part%23+007-000.html). Not the cheapest unit but it has never failed me. Here is a thread I started on my mounting location in my Eagle. (http://www.wanderthewest.com/forum/topic/9752-onboard-air/)...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Ever wish you had a winch?

    I have one mounted in my Aluminess bumper on my 2012 Tacoma. Like on-board air, its one of those things that you hopefully don't use often but it can make the difference between getting out or having a massively expensive tow.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Help programming the Trimetric battery monitor

    Hey Dsrtrat When I select the full option, all I get is 3 lines. I would assume that it should read 100%. Thanks

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Help programming the Trimetric battery monitor

    Greetings I successfully installed the monitor in my Eagle, but am having some trouble understanding how to program it. Specifically, its program item P3: battery system capacity. I have 2 deep cycle batteries installed by FWC and I am pretty sure they are wired in parallel. Both batteries...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Onboard air

    SL -- a friend of mine has the quad cab TRD with the 6 foot bed. Apparently, they make very few of them and I think he waited 5-6 months for the dealer to locate it. That was in 2012.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Onboard air

    From 15 psi to 40 is probably 4-5 minutes. I'm going to guess that the air station at the beach is hard wired with a pretty big tank. You can run an air tank for faster fills since speed is obviously an issue. Or get a CO2 tank -- I understand they are very fast.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Tacoma Tires

    The BF Goodrich tires are great and I am currently running them on my 2012 Tacoma. They are a bit noisy, especially when they are wearing down. I am switching to the Cooper ST MAXX for a number of reasons and have not tried the redesigned BFG's. One thing to consider changing might be the...

    In a number of posts recently about damaged and loose turnbuckles, several people weighed in that reducing tire pressure driving off road can help minimize damage to your equipment. It also widens the tire profile increasing traction, and makes the ride significantly more comfortable...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West LED Bulb replacement issues

    First of all, thanks to everyone for the help. I switched the leads out today and the problem continues. I tested the LED bulbs in another lamp, and they all work fine. So, it is something in the lamp itself. I will look for another solution.

    Steve This is the bulb I'm using. I tried several different bulbs with the same results. The base is a bayonet mount so it pushes in and turns.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West LED Bulb replacement issues

    Greetings I have a 2012 Eagle that came with flourescent bulbs. I replaced them with some Perko marine lights that came with both red and white bulbs. I went to replace the bulbs with equivalent LED's and every time the switch is thrown, it blows a fuse. The standard bulbs work fine -- only...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Scary moment on a casual inspection

    I am new to this so I don't claim to have the answer. For my 2012 Tacoma with the composite bed, FWC makes mounting plates now that have an angled side and is bolted thru the bed to the frame. The angled uprights should keep the camper from sliding side to side. But like others here, I...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Off road + ice chest + glass bottles

    Alley-Kat's idea is spot on. The Australians, who dearly love both their beer and four wheeling can buy 12 bottle Kozies in a canvas pouch that hangs on the side of their coolers/fridges. A friend gave me a set and they work as advertised. Ive never seen them here -- business opportunity?

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Question about tie downs for FWC

    A quick follow up question -- I want to update the eyebolts and it easily accessible on the passenger side under the sofa. But on the driver's side, it all seems buried beneath cabinetry. I have poked around in there and don't see an easy way of getting to the hardware. Has anyone figured a...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Awning Installation on an Eagle

    Rear awning is installed. Pretty much the same idea as the side one except, given the brackets used to hold the top down, I had to make it easily removable. Phenolic knobs from McMaster Carr will do the trick. Cheers

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Question about tie downs for FWC

    NTSQD I am a new Eagle owner and have only put the camper on/off the truck a few times. I agree that the turnbuckles I have are inadequate and looked at the ones you link to on McMaster's site before I saw your post. Given the small space to work with when attaching the turnbuckles, how are...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Awning Installation on an Eagle

    One of the options I would have purchased on a new Eagle would have been side and rear awnings. I have had them on my truck shell and find that I like having them for shade and sun protection. I was fortunate enough to buy a set of Hannibal Awnings a few years ago. Made in South Africa, they...
