    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West FWC Single Sheet Roof "Tin Canning"...Why?

    I cringe every time I hear the wind starting to pick up knowing the popping and sleeplessness will start soon. (Yakima tracks with 200W solar panel mounted on L aluminum running east west. 2 vents w fans). When I wash the roof I have studied how it flexes and can see the “waves” or unevenness in...

    I do the shaker hose thing too. I put the can as the shelf I made for the dog and it dumps the can in about 3 minutes!

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Fox News

    We had chickens, we knew we had foxes in the area too. Our neighbor told me had had a den under his porch and they had babies. The foxes kept getting closer to our fence line. One day I went out and tried throwing rocks to scare them away and they just stopped and looked at me like that. One...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West A few new things that FWC installs now

    The problem I have with that latch, which came with my 2020 Hawk, is that where it attaches to to door is not strong, basically hollow. So somehow, from leaning on the door getting in or out, bumping into it, the screen door flying open in a big wind…the door is now dented and even has a small...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West 11 weeks to Big Bend and Baja

    Wow! Pretty epic but probably a good thing you got home when you did. And the poor dozer operators, you and your wood stove were quite a blessing to them. Nice job.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West $1000 Rods? An opinion

    Very well done and so true. I have only broken one fly rod in my many years and that was a Sage 9’ 6wt. It was broken when someone opened a garage door when I was stringing it up and it got caught in the spring. Sage replaced the tip and I still use it to this day, it’s probably 40 years old...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Portable Power Stations

    I don’t think I would rely on mine for the whole camper, furnace etc. I will eventually go to a lithium house battery but will still use the Bluetti.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Portable Power Stations

    I use the Bluetti EB70s in our Hawk Shell. Its primary goal is to run the refrigerator, charge a phone and or iPad plus the occasional AC needs of a laptop or camera. I charge it and pass through with the solar on the roof during the day and down the road when driving. I am still on the...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Which way do you sleep?

    N/S head to the front. It’s easier to scooch out feet first.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West How to add shore power to shell model?

    I have a 2020 Hawk Shell and I do the extension cord thing. I run it through the back and through a turnbuckle door. I took a piece of heavy closed cell foam and cut it to the door opening, cut a slit in the center to slide the cord through aa d that keeps critters, cold and heat out. I have...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West New Shell Questions

    I have a Hawk Shell so things might be a little different and in the over two years I’ve had it I have moved things around quite a bit. I think I am close to having it finalized though. I also have an Iceco fridge, mine is the JP50 so it might be smaller or bigger than yours. I would say to not...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Welcome to the future we deserve

    We decided to get away from the fireworks on New Years and went to a near by Texas State Park that had good hiking trails and was far from a town. Cars were lined up and they were tuning folks back that did not have a reservation. Even for day use! As a recent article said “we are loving our...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West The Supertramp Camper

    I looked at the company video awhile back and this was definitely more thorough and well done. I like the overall inside height, with the top down and up. My wife really wishes she could sit up in the bed of our Hawk, and being able to be more comfortable sitting etc with the top down would be...

    What did they do to fix the oil-canning? Ours does that pretty bad when the wind blows.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West over the top commercial.

    I stumble on this the other day and it popped up on my YouTube feed so I watched the Dillon Hwy one. Needless to say I was very impressed. What an incredible woman! I will never complain about lousy weather sitting in my truck cab again. (Right!) It reminded me of the “See the World” series...
