    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Fantastic Fan opens itself and destroys itself: Easy to Remove and Replace with MaxxAir?

    Even with that handle locked, the air moving across mine still lifted and broke the mechanism. The air dam fixed that.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Recovery Board Storage

    Here is a link to BundutecUSA that sells them for $425. They accept 2 or 4 boards -- you have to move some hinges to accommodate 4. https://bundutecusa.com/product/trax-tab-2/ They also make one without the table that retails for $295. https://bundutecusa.com/product/trax-clamp-2/

    I am getting ready to install one of these. And, it has a table that drops down that could be useful. http://www.quickpitchnorthamerica.com/trax-tab-2/

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Fantastic Fan opens itself and destroys itself: Easy to Remove and Replace with MaxxAir?

    You are correct, it’s not a FWC but I believe some with FWC’s have had the same problem. And this problem seems to be limited to front vents. There’s enough disruption of air moving across solar panels, air conditioners etc. that the rear vents are rarely affected.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Fantastic Fan opens itself and destroys itself: Easy to Remove and Replace with MaxxAir?

    In doing some additional research and talking with people who really understand aerodynamics, the consensus is that if the vent had been installed 6-12 inches or more further back, the air coming over the nose of the camper would not have affected the fan.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Fantastic Fan opens itself and destroys itself: Easy to Remove and Replace with MaxxAir?

    I replaced two Max Fans on the front of my Bundutec Odyssey before it dawned on me that wind coming up over the front nose of the camper was forcibly lifting the fan lid, destroying the plastic lift mechanism. Since I can't move the fan opening, I needed something to block the wind. I found a...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Bolting Down FWC To Flatbed / Tray

    I know you will have a slide in but my method will possibly work. I have a flatbed camper mounted to an aluminum flatbed and wanted an alternative to bolting through the camper. I have helped a friend try to mount one and lining up those 4 bolts with a 1000+ pound camper suspended over them...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Propane Detector won’t stop beeping

    I had a similar issue in my Bundutec Odyssey. We had installed a new mattress and apparently, there is a bit of gassing off which was causing the alarm to go off. Only happens when the camper was closed up and eventually it stopped happening.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West 'Rimrocker Trail' next week?

    I did it last year in a Ram 3500 flatbed. Some of the sections near Moab are narrow so you might get some pinstriping. Great trip - have fun.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Electric Pickup Truck

    Sure, normal expenses are deductible. But the oil and gas industry is heavily subsidized by being allowed to explore and drill on public lands at ridiculously low rates. No other industry has that distinct advantage.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Flatbed Bolts, How Tight?

    I don't see why not. FWC have jack brackets. The only issue might be the flatbed - is there a good place to attach it.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Flatbed Bolts, How Tight?

    I assume this is a FWC? One of the reasons I didn’t buy a FWC flatbed is the attachment method. Trying to line up 4 bolts to keep that camper secure is, in IMHO, ridiculous. I purchased a Bundutec and it’s mounted on an aluminum flatbed. Mine is attached using Fastguns that use the jack...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West aluminess and animals

    The other reasons I chose Aluminess over ARB were 1. Weight. I could install front and rear bumpers myself as their bumpers probably weigh around 100 pounds. In the front with a winch, I used a floor jack to raise it to the mounting position; and 2. No corrosion. In Minnesota, they use a lot of...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West aluminess and animals

    I had a Tacoma with an Aluminess rear bumper. Sitting at a stop light, I was rear ended by a vehicle driven by a guy who had just robbed a convenience store. Police estimated he was driving in excess of 60 mph at impact. The truck frame was twisted and the drivers seat back broken but I walked...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Fantastic Fan Lid Replacement

    If you already have the replacement, disregard. But if not, consider a MaxxFan instead. It should fit in the same 14x14 hole and once the base is sealed in, it’s just 4 screws to replace the actual fan.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Slide in Vs Flatbed?

    I've had both -- formerly a FWC Eagle on a Tacoma -- and now have a Bundutec Odyssey on a Flatbed. I'd never go back to a slide in. The camper has so much more room and my flatbed has exterior boxes fore and aft of the wheels and a drawer that runs the full length. Is it higher? Yes but it...
