    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Rear Suspension :: Airbags vs Helper Springs

    Thanks Sunman. You helped at a good time for me. From all I have read here and on other forums, the vast majority of folks use and swear by airbags. I was getting ready to buy some and one voice had a bad experience with them. You helped clarify it for me, and I am still sure they are the way to...

    eye bolts would work, or holes drilled in legs to rope items too, at different heights. I did check out the link, should work just fine for paddles. Where to put all the maps? I always have a stack of them, and pick up more on the road as I go. My van had nice big pockets behind the seats, this...

    Huumm. A rack for the rear window. Ill have to think about that. Good idea. I was thinking of sewing a version of this, to maximize storage. I guess my "first floor platform" is only 10" or so off the floor, thinking of only storing long items, paddles, table, fishing poles etc underneath it on...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Timing for Orca rubbing beaches on Vancouver IS. B.C.

    That's my take also. 1st of July thru August. We have paddled up there 3 times and not seen the orcas. Paddled from Campbell river to pt hardy in June and zip. Lots of porpoise and bear neat to see. If planning a trip cormorant and McNeil islands are neat to see and available by ferry Sent...

    Nice set up. Researched going this route, after selling my 97 gmc 2wd van. What turned me away was that not all mercedes dealers work on the sprinters. I didn't want to get stuck in one of the rocky mtn states hundreds of miles from somebody qualified to work on my rig. Still having second...
