    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Jack Bracket Extensions pertaining to 2016+ Tacoma

    I made them for my old FWC Ranger on a Tundra. I used 1/4" aluminum and they worked fine for years.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Cover for ATC or four wheel camper

    The Panther and Ocelot are the same length, I believe. My Panther is 84" wide though.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Cover for ATC or four wheel camper

    I currently have this one for my Panther and it works very well. It is a cover for a popup trailer. I had a smaller version of the same one that lasted 3 winters. It was for an 8'-10' popup trailer and it was a little tight a the jacks which is where it eventually failed. I just folded in the...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West USB PLUG

    I would call ATC and ask for the part number. They may be able to give you pointers. If it is like the one on my Panther, I believe those fit in any round hole faceplate as they are pretty much a standard size. I've purchased several on Amazon and they seem to fit any faceplate.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West New to site, just purchased a 90's ranger for my 2004 Tundra . . . Need some help

    Mine had forged eye bolts in the corners of the bed and turnbuckles from those eyebolts to the eyebolts on the camper. Nothing to the frame. There are pics in this thread - https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/mounting-options-for-fwc-hawk.122349/

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West New to site, just purchased a 90's ranger for my 2004 Tundra . . . Need some help

    Hi Doug, Welcome to WTW and congratulations on your new Ranger. I can certainly give you some pointer based on my old setup... The guys at All Terrain Campers probably built your camper back in the day. Mine Ranger was a 2000 andthey told me they had built it. As for mounting, mine was...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Trying to decide if an upgrade is worth it.

    If you have been getting good use out of your existing camper and your truck can handle the Lance, I would upgrade. Particularly if the Lance is in as good condition as you describe.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Common ATC Customizations

    I like the convenience of having plenty of water on hand. ATC builds in the water tank towards the front of the camper. Keeping the weight forward is a good thing. We like to brush our teeth and wash up before bed and when we get up so the inside sink is handy. Also with a built in sink you...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Common ATC Customizations

    Hi MWW88, Welcome to WTW and truck campers. I see that you have gotten great recommendations already from some really knowledgeable folks. So I'll just give you another perspective. I had three camping trailers prior to getting our first truck camper, a 2000 FWC Ranger. It was actually...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Wind deflectors and Aero mods for fuel economy.

    My Deflector Odyssey I have an ATC Panther on my Tundra which has quite a bit of space between the cab and camper overhang. I experienced quite a bit of wind buffeting at highway speeds from the wind hitting the flat front wall of the camper behind the truck cab. Many bugs gave up their...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West $500 to $600 camper fridge?

    I bought the TB51 from TruckFridge in 2017 and have been completely sold on it. It is an INDEL B fridge. If you try and insulate it be sure to leave the compressor vents clear. I got the fridge cover from Equipt, it is not insulated and probably isn't necessary. I have since removed the...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Thickness of cabover floor?

    If you don't mind going over the rear window, you could span that area. When I was thinking of mounting a small propane tank, I called ATC and was told that there is a post just inside of the jack bracket and a post just outside of the door so they recommended spanning the whole side. Keep in...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Raising and lowering camper with jacks

    I have a Rieco-Titan wheeled camper stand that is about trailer height. I got tired of raising and lowering the camper so I built a wood extention on the top of the stand. With this extension the camper sits at the same height as the truck bed. When mounting the camper, I raise each corner 5...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West roof racks and other questions

    What Sage said... I would get some tracks and have them shipped to ATC. I did that with my SMEV sink stove combo and it worked out great. Just communicate it with ATC. I've mixed and matched all kinds of fasteners on the track, they are pretty much interchangeable, Thule, Yakima, Rhino Rack...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Truck Antennas

    I also installed one of those antennas for an aftermarket radio. It will depend on if the plug is a match. They are magnetic and work very well.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West New panther order

    Hi TK, Congratulations on the order, you won't be sorry going with an ATC. I believe the stock stove top is top mounted to the counter top and does stick up about an inch or so. I ordered my Panther with a Dometic SMEV sink stove combo which is more of a flush mount with a glass lid. It is...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Loading Bobcat onto first gen tundra

    The ATC site lists the overhang bed as 69” wide so the camper outside dimension may be slightly wider. I had a FWC Ranger on a 1st gen Tundra and my jacks came with the stock folding extensions and that still wasn’t enough. I had to add and additional 1/4” aluminum extension. I was surprised...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West 270° Awning on Pop-up Camper

    I'm 6'2", I wouldn't shorten the door. I think my old FWC Ranger was not as tall as the ATC Panther and I always hit my head on the door frame. On the Panther, I only knock myself out every now and then :rolleyes: I use the Little Giant step ladder for entry steps and can use that if needed...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West My new pop up. Here we go

    Congratulation on the Ocelot goinoregon! Love the excitement of the first trip. We drove to Sacramento from Colorado and made it up the coast to Oregon through the redwoods when we picked our ATC Panther up. Best of luck and enjoy the build!

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Attached Fold Out Shower Enclosures

    Lighthawk - This is my exact setup. Mine has tie out loops 3/4 of the way up. Which I always either tie between the front and back jack brackets on the drivers side of the camper or between two trees. I've never had a problem in the wind. Although, on a sand bar in the Green River in...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West 270° Awning on Pop-up Camper

    The top 6 inches or so of the FWC and ATC campers is solid aluminum. I mounted awnings through the wall on both my old FWC Ranger and my current ATC Panther. I used fender washers on the inside and did not have an issue with inside wall flex.
