If you wire direct to rv batt. make sure you put a inline fuse on the positive {red} lead. Les,lqhkers

I agree about fire rings they also make people think because somebody had a fire it is ok. It seems that people are beginning to realize that outdoors usage and "comfort, fun, social"fire are not ok.A few years back i made a post about being against social fires and got roasted by fellow...

Had the same problem with thermostat in our Northstar pop up. We do not sleep with heater on but do like to turn on when getting up. Our solution was to add a toggle switch located within reach near pillow so when i wake up i turn it on and within 3-5 min. its comfy, turn it off get up and if...

Must disagree In 18 months i will be able to look back at all the great days and nights we enjoyed. And we will still have the correct set up that we built and continue to enjoy. That being said i am also someone who have changed rigs many times over the years. But have never worried if money...

Be aware if you mount a bike/tire carrier on the front of newer tacoma. the radar sensor for cruise control is in the toyota emblem,any blockage including bug splatter can cause shut down of cruise control. Le,lqhikers

Speaking of Yosemite have you heard that plans are in the works requiring reservations to enter the park? I saw it on the internet so do not know if true. For someone who does not plan ahead when out and about this will be a pain! Les,lqhikers

Ted i'm sure you will like the tiger. When we ordered ours we requested to leave the sink out of the shower as it gave more room and the kitchen sink was enough. We also had a escape hatch installed over bed, comes with screen and shade made it real nice to have open at night plus easy access to...

Gunship driver; Both of the north stars we bought were very lightly used, the last one never used.(stored inside since orig. buyer bought) One thing to think about is the lift type, new one's have electric lift. We wanted to stay with mech. lift so held out for used one, took awhile but shorter...

As someone who spends a good deal of time out and about, and have had many types of rigs (vans, 4wc popups, six pack hard side campers, and 2 northstar pop up campers have to say the north stars are hard to beat. Full size bed with real mattress, more storage than any other camper of its...

Touching on the hot spring angle as someone who was going full bore in the sixties, partying with the fine Green Turtle bus group, she would be an outsider with her "modest" bathing outfit! You old guys do remember the Green Turtle traveling scene don't you? Les,lqhikers

After posting this as humor it made me wonder why FWC corp (if they did) chose to go this route to sell campers? Maybe in partner with Dodge? I really doubt that her following is made up of outdoor adventures! Les,lqhikers

Wandering through youtube on another boring c-19 day and ran across a "another day in the life of a single women living and traveling in a fwc Hawk". The person is Dr.Hannah Straight . Made the mistake of watching and found out i have been doing it all wrong. 1. i need to make sure i have no...

Guess i'm out of touch. Just finished getting caught on Jalonik (auto related content) They have article on jeeps new hybrid jeep will now be able to recharge on the Rubicon with a solar charging station at the half way point. Whats next? Starbucks maybe. Les,lqhikers

Glad to see you following you own path . I know from experience that a wood stove used as you do is a calming and relaxing feeling. As someone who who lived in a converted step van for a while in the early 1970'S my wood stove was a part of our every day life! Thanks for sharing. Les,lqhikers

Very nice size and looks well laid out. Notice that it comes with sink in wet bath have never figured out why sink inside a small space when you have a kitchen sink. When we had our Tiger adventure 4x4 built we deleted bath sink which gave out more room to shower!. Looking forward to your new...

Expanding on my earlier post i would like to share some of the reasons we ended up going the direction we went. Each of us most likely live in different groups of people depending on location. We live in a resort area where all the connecting towns are tourist driven. with this in mind we are...

My take on life as it is now, and in the future. I have been part of this forum since i think since 2007. For myself and my wife we consider it as a online social club and never planed on meeting in person fellow members. The whole idea of wander the west is to explore and share experience's...

How we (wife and myself) are reacting to various rule's. Ready for negative replies ! We live in a area that has walking trails within 1 block of our house. When ever we are out at least 50% of neighbor's go without covering and rarely keep distance. Sign's are posted to not allow parking of...

Spent a few days in the back country of Borrego state park guess it will be the last time for a while as of the 31st of march all roads and trails are closed hiking and walking for locals only. Going to explore Bradshaw trail next week ( BLM land) will see how it goes. Les,lqhikers

Picked up camper last Thursday and have been going through it and "adjusting needed". We will be leaving tues. or wens. heading to the back side of Borrego. Will take pictures, but have always had a problem on wtw posting pictures tried it on my post but was told image was to big, do not have...

We only had the Proven tiger for about 8 months found out i had a dose of the big"C" and knew we would not be using it much so let it go to a new home. Things then went well and we were back, explains the other rigs.

After having a FWC and Northstar camper over the years we went through a few different rigs,Tiger 4x4 motorhome ford van with a pop top, small mini van conversion, full size ford transit conversion, another small van conversion. Well we missed the pop up setting on a Toyota so we now have a...

Have to jump back in. We drove both of our Tacomas (4 cy single cab, extended cab v6) with six pacs campers all over the west, Baja and never had any structural problems.BUT i did improve mounting points in both cases by adding metal straps on all corners to spread stress areas out. As far as...

When we had a fwc the slider was a must as we always traveled with our cat and he could go back and forth as he choose ! Should not be to hard to find windows online send opening size to atc and at least have a frame built, then it would be easy to install. (maybe not for everyone, but that is...

About the only time you really notice it is with bad headwinds. As far as being a dog it depends on how you drive after all it is a loaded truck! Les,lqhikers
