    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Insulating

    Would the horse stall mat that some put under their Alaskan to prevent slippage work as an insulator too?

    Welcome to the board Geek. How bad is your siding? I know some guys here will paint theirs if it isn't in too bad of shape

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Insulating

    A lot of great ideas here and I'm seeing that I'm going to be doing some insulating in my 64 NCO once it gets warmer. One thing I've noticed about mine while living in it in the Mid-west is the Pirelli seals are dried and there are huge gaps which lets in much of the cold air. That's probably...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Thinking of major renovation on my Alaskan

    As I have posted on another post, I've been living in my Alaskan while working out of town. After a couple of weeks, I'm looking inside my camper and thinking what I could do to make it more spacious. Here's what I'm thinking, but please keep in mind, that I've always been a "traditionalist" and...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West A couple of questions for you

    I've been living in my 1964 10' NCO for a week now while I'm out of town working. When I'm traveling to the job-site or going home (175 miles) I've been throwing a strap across the top because I'm afraid the top half will blow off? Is that possible? Is what I'm doing necessary? I have also been...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West How to make side lockers on trailer

    I'm loving my 1963 NCO 10' that I just recently purchased. I've been living in it for the past week while I'm working out of town and probably will be staying in it for the next month or so. I'm wanting to tweak my set-up I have slightly. Currently, I have it being pulled with my truck sitting...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West What is this?

    I'm going to contact the PO and find out. I thought at first that it is something from the factory. But if not, I'll have to go with a flag pole

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West What is this?

    Can someone tell me what this bracket is for? It on the back end of the camper on the left side by the door. It's aluminum. Thanks for any help. Joe

    I found a hauler to bring my 64 Alaskan from Ohio to Kansas and would like to let everyone know that if you're looking for a hauler, I highly recommend Fat Aces Transport. This is the 2nd time I've used this company and each time they were very professional and they showed genuine concern for...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Camper jacks

    I bought 4 of the Rieco Titan heavy duty stands with the extended brackets. 2 of the brackets bent the first time I used them. I called them today and they are sending me 2 new brackets. In fairness, they said what caused the bending was when I did not bolt the extended brackets on a bracket...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Camper jacks

    Thanks David. For right now, I put cinder blocks under each corner to stabilize it some. I have to wait until my son comes home from camping and I can take the floor jack and raise up the back end of it, take out cinder block from each side and then go around and do the same to the front end...

    I'm needing to get this problem solved soon. I bought 4 Rieco Titan 2k camper jacks for my slide in camper. At it lowest setting, the Reicos are only 30" from the floor. I'm needing it to lower further because I'm wanting to put my camper on a dolly that is only around 10" off the floor. Any...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West What do you set your camper on?

    Thanks for the advice, I appreciate every bit of it. The hauler delivered the camper last night at 11:30 and finished unloading her at 12:50 this morning! Getting her off his trailer took some engineering skills but we got her off and I have her sitting on my stands for right now. It's so foggy...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West What do you set your camper on?

    My camper got picked up this morning in Ohio and should be here either late tonight or early tomorrow morning, depending on how far the hauler can make it tonight. I don't have the height information to see whether I need to set the camper up on boards or not to get it higher than the truck...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West What do you set your camper on?

    I tried a search on this but couldn't find anything although i know its been discussed before. But what do you all set in your truck bed for your camper to sit on? Would 2 x 4s work? Longways or cross ways? Thanks.

    i just purchased 4 heavy duty Rieco-Titan with extended #! brackets. I know it's overkill but I'll never have to worry about dropping the camper. Btw, I officially bought a 1964 10' NCO today that is in immaculate condition. Now all I have to do is figure out how to get it to Kansas.
