    Russ, The Cougar looks great! I think I missed what your specifics are for your camper. Did you post a list? Best of luck, I'm sure you can't wait. Please keep posting pictures as you have them.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West First Re-mount Fleet - Advice?

    In my case the camper is stored on a gravel surface and is hard to get lined up perfectly. I bought four cheap 1000 lb. furniture dollies and raise it back up an inch or so, for final adjustment, once I'm back on the driveway. Oh, I cut a piece of wood to fill the middle so the jacks sit...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West ATC Panther on the drawing board

    Here is a question about the AT Can Holders. I'm wondering about the AT Can Holder like Tuff Guy 62 and others have mounted on their campers, specifically the one on the right side. Does the door hit it? If so, how do you hold the door open with it there? And if so, does the door glass rest...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West ATC Panther on the drawing board

    Hi Russ, I replaced the slider with a clear one on our Ranger. When it slides over in front of the door window it doesn't block the light quite as bad as the solid colored one, you can actually see through it. You know, we had the FWC Ranger for 10 years and eventually got away from using the...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West ATC Panther on the drawing board

    Here are some pictures I pirated of the customizations I've requested. Right rear (passenger side) tall closet - I realize that the fold out bed will be short but we never really used the one in the FWC Ranger for sleeping. And we think we prefer the bench to the side dinette for our...

    PANTHER ORDERED!!! I placed the order for the ATC Panther yesterday with Marty. He was a great help and a pleasure to work with. It looks like they have been getting slammed with order so my delivery date should be late May or early June. I was debating on when to place the order since we...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West ATC Panther on the drawing board

    Hi Folks, I just sold my FWC Ranger and have in mind to order an ATC Panther to replace it. We had the Ranger for 10 years and loved it, it was just about perfect for us. With that, I'm pretty sure about how we would like it outfitted and thought I might start this thread to ask questions of...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Looking for All Terrain Pop Up camper for my 2016 Toyota Tacoma 4x4 Crew Cab with 6'bed.

    Hi MJ, I have a 2000 FWC Ranger that "might" work. It seems like the new Tacomas are about the size of the 1st Gen Tundras but you'd have to measure. It has an 8 ft bed length which worked well for me with the tail gate down. I think it is less than 100 lbs more than the FWC Eagle model. I'm...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Wanted: FWC for 2004 Tundra

    For a 2004 tundra I think you will find that a Granby will be too wide for the tailgate opening. As I recall, the Hawk that was made for the 1st generation tundra was called a Kestrel and was made with a narrower foot pack to fit the bed. I do have a 2000 Four Wheel Ranger which is basically...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West The question is how wide to make it?

    So aluminum is strong enough for this? Hmm. Yeah, I feel like the hinge is the weak link in my setup.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West The question is how wide to make it?

    If you aren't going to leave the jacks on full time, I would make them as wide as you can for clearance loading the camper. Here is my setup but I think now, I would rather have not had the hinge piece and just had a solid jack extension. I think mine is 1/4 or 5/16 aluminum. I ordered it cut...

    There will be no winter camping for this rig :) I really don't need to know the likes and dislikes of a particular model. I really want to dry fit a camper on my 2010 tacoma to get an idea of the fit. If it's an eagle i know there will be a significant overhang. I've had a number of pop up...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Ride-Rite Leak

    Gary, I have had a very slow leak in my Ride-Rites since I got them. I also thought it might be the fittings and replaced them since they aren't very expensive. It didn't do anything. I assume now, that it is the bags. My leak is so slow that I can go a couple of days between having to...
