There are several threads from the past on this topic. This is good one from 2015: https://www.wanderthewest.com/forum/topic/9827-do-you-travel-with-mechanical-jacks-on-or-off/ I remember it because in the beginnings of my FWC travels, I wondered the same as you. This thread made it clear so I...

Although 5 years or so old, this is a good thread. https://www.wanderthewest.com/forum/topic/11129-what-do-you-bringpack-in-your-fwc/ Ron.

What a great post and I’ll save it for the inevitable failure and subsequent repair. It’s important because I still don’t trust the newer units and would rather try a repair before going with a new replacement. Thank you so much for taking the time to give us such detailed report. Ron.

Thank you. Very helpful to know. Ron

I have used both Avenza and Gaia and actually like them both. However I now use Gaia with a premium subscription for almost all my maps. I use the iPad for navigation in my truck and my iPhone for hiking. I'm always amazed at how many maps and many outdoor type apps only work when on the...

I was just planning on using our household iron, but ski reminds me I have a wax iron, which should work with the added and most important benefit being that I won’t foul up the wife’s iron. So thanks again!

All my planned fishing trips have been cancelled, but putting together some more. Off to northern Nevada next week but no fishing. I’ll send you an email because I’d love to get over to you this summer to do some fishing. Btw I ordered from these guys...

Wow! Who knew? Thank you both. I would have never guessed it was heat applied. And cutting it to size makes sense. Now I’ll have to figure what kind of color (wood) it is but I’ve already narrowed it down to two colors. From my quick look on the internet, it’s not expensive. Thanks again. Ron.

I need to replace the faux wood tape that FWC uses to finish the edges of cabinets and other various interior features. Does anybody know the actual name of this tape and the color? And the big question is: where might one get something like this? I can't find anything that's 1/2 inch on...

Here’s a start for you. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0012GTVVA?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title I just put one on. Very easy. Just make sure that wherever you mount the handle, nothing on the inside of the camper interferes with the closing of the door with the new bar[s] installed. Ron

Thanks to you both. As for fuel stations in general, I can confirm that there are stations other than Pemex in both Mexicali and the Ensenada corridor. I don’t remember what was in San Felipe. Farther south on both 1 and 3 I don’t recall seeing anything but Pemex. But I could have missed some...

I’ve just returned from a short trip to Baja late November in my gas F150. Pretty much the same itinerary as KMacintyre posted back in 2017. Kevin was good enough to include his experience with the diesel fuel in Baja and he reported no problems with his late model Dodge which requires ULSD...

The wife and I were thinking heading up up north this summer but this nightmare situation has us thinking otherwise. This combined with Sasquatch sightings and willow goldfinch attacks suggests Mexico is a safer alternative. Thanks for the tip. ;)

Photos from Ron (basically testing at this point)

Trying to figure out posting tp gallery and then to discussions

I have a Grandby with solar and Maxxtrax mounted up top. I just replaced the 30 lb struts with 40s. Much easier up after the initial push and I love the way they come down smooth and slow with just a little help at the beginning. Very happy I did it and so is my back!

Been thinking about you guys and can’t wait to hear more. Really happy it’s gone well. Ron

When I’ve gone down for spring training I’ve stayed in rented homes while in Scottsdale, so I’m of no help for any camping in the metro area. I have driven my camper to some ball parks, and they always made me go to a special RV area to park and tailgate, which was great. But here is what I’ve...

What an adventure! Good for you guys. Can’t wait to hear about it when you’re back. Have fun!!!

Ha! Actually he was at Pyramid Lake where we were headed. For anyone else reading, my truck routinely has problems only when my friend Jeff is around...or the truck finds out that we are going to be seeing him. Its freaky! Really. I had to have him get out of my truck once because the gps...

Kev. More great info. Thanks. I’ll be getting the book too. Did you get to fly in with Bill last week?
