Traveling watercolors

This is the number one reason I still check in with WTW occasionally. I love Milts trip reports. So inspiring on so many levels.

Lqhikers - regarding planning ahead, last year (once it settled down) it was quite easy to obtain a pass with little advance notice. The hardest part was that you must enter the park on the first day of your reservation even though it is a seven day pass. I am hopeful that it will encourage some...

Thanks for reminding me I wanted to get on this morning to get one for Feb 8 for my husbands 70th birthday. It was simple and I got one. There is a two dollar fee, and they want $35 entrance, but there is a way to say you have a geezer card. Thanks. I actually enjoyed going several times last...

https://sierrashadow.wordpress.com/?s=Carizzo I made coroplast turnbuckle covers with screening. Sorry to send you to my site, but I have so much trouble uploading pictures to this site.

Well, I just learned you can’t get to the Gallery from the App. So here is what is found once I switched over https://www.wanderthewest.com/forum/topic/3987-solar-panel-mount/ https://www.wanderthewest.com/forum/topic/4552-mounting-solar-panel-carrier-under-cabover/ I remember there being...

Doghouse_riley many years ago someone did the sliding table under the overhang, and someone else did a sliding solar panel storage. I think there might be pictures in the gallery.

Love, love, love the new cabinetry color! So classy. Good job Marty!

I am enjoying this ladies critiques of YouTube famous vans. She makes it clear she is reviewing the build not the person. But she has a lot of good insight into what works and doesn’t, as well as strong personal preferences. She reviewed Clare’s van here: https://youtu.be/4PdF83fb_Og

Solinski- I was a pretty fair weather traveler, but I really liked the ability to put them on if needed (rarely) and have them off when I didn’t. The ATC system allows you to control ventilation and light without going outside if the storm flaps are off. I loved falling asleep with the breeze on...

Over a year ago, Marty mentioned that they were switching to clear external flaps. I don’t know if that came to pass, but that would solve one of my biggest peeves about them. Too dark with them on and no airflow. But I learned the hard way, they are completely necessary in a rain storm. Or...

Nice use of space. Some creative solutions here. Thanks for sharing.

Teledork- so sorry you ran up against the crazies, but don’t let them keep you down. Get out, keep calm, remember that your fears are rarely ever realized, but listen to your gut. I am a female solo traveler, and have never run up against anything like you described. But I will admit I haven’t...

Felt a little sluggish, right?

Well, I have driven in wedge mode accidentally, but in reverse. If you lower the lid, but forget to latch them, air pressure as you drive pushes the front up, but not the back. Felt pretty foolish. Supposedly you can drive with the roof up, but really why? It is not that difficult to do it...

Our neighbors are raising up their five year old to help. He was so excited to get his suit.

Thanks Paul. I sold the Bobcat and am (was pre-Covid) camping in a Subaru Outback. But I still check WTW, I just have less to contribute.

I just used footmans loops and web strapping. Cheap and easy. Never budged. See blog post https://sierrashadow.wordpress.com/tag/dometic/

Try being a single gal in one! I used to come home and warn my husband that my camper was a “man magnet”. Good thing I am happily married.

My iPad can reply now although I still had to cancel the first box asking me to login again. So improving, but not “fixed”.

FYI, I am having the same issue for the last few days also. I just ignored the message and X ed out and was able to see and read the unread messages as normal. But when I went to reply to this one, it wouldn’t let me. I had to log in through Chrome to input. So there is something that changed...

I just saw a new flip pac like contraption. It was called go fast camper. I believe it’s gofast camper.com. Worth looking into for those who don’t have the build your own skills.

Great find Takesiteasy. The maps of the two scenarios really struck me. The Walker Lane just seems so much more probable. I forwarded it to all my Geo peeps.

Thank you to whoever changed the subject line to include SOLD. I couldn't do it from my phone, so I came back to fix it from the computer and it was already done. I just love this forum. The moderators make it such a comfortable place. Thanks for your tireless, thankless service.

SOLD. It was a bittersweet moment to watch her drive away, but I am confident that she went to just the right owner. He will have adventures and appreciate wandering the west with her. Thank You for all the sweet condolences regarding my knee. I plan to buy a Subaru Outback and continue my...
