    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Instant Oameal

    You can usually find stuff like that on Amazon. The same thing happened to me with Kodiak Flapjacks last year. Costco carried them. I fell in love with them and then they stopped carrying them. I found them on Amazon, but fortunately Costco started carrying them again, so I bought 2 boxes.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West How do you organize your under the sink area and cubbies?

    I think one of your biggest challenges is the upper storage container is too tall, leading to disorganization underneath. I like how the bottom of the cupboard has a lip to keep things from falling out. What may serve you better is a shorter and optionally wider container on the top. Don't go...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West How do you organize your under the sink area and cubbies?

    What I've found to be helpful and fun on my travels is thrift stores. On my last trip to Vancouver Island I picked up a 5 gallon water jug for $5, to use for grey water containment. It is high quality, so I still use it today. The same store had 2 Royal Dalton stainless steel frying pans for...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West How do you organize your under the sink area and cubbies?

    I found the key to good organization for me is... 1- only bring what is necessary, not everything you "might" need. Usually I can improvise and have fun doing so, if I don't have something. 2- buy items that specifically fit your camper and keep them in the camper I think I could survive with...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Time lapse video unloading FWC

    I like it :) well done! Thanks for sharing the video. Are you planning on making a video of loading it as well? Some people are a little timid about the process and you make it look so easy :)

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Selling Mint 2003 Hawk SOLD

    Did you write to the address in the post. Probably the best way to try to acquire it, if it is still available. I must have missed this post. It would be cool to see this unit in person. Neat to see an older unit in great/mainly unused condition.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Why (I think) FWC and ATC have a "cult like" following (was eye bolts replacement)

    I think if a company creates a quality products, you are going to have a select number of people who are passionate about it. They will endorse it willingly etc. I know you mentioned that FWC and ATC are easy to work on. This is something I truly appreciate. Apple is an example of a company...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Camper insurance - mounted full time

    I'm in Canada so you likely can't help me, but does the add on policy actually state in writing the issues that I was concerned with up above. I'll paste them below here again. I'm not confident that home owners insurance is going to cover your camper if: -you get rear ended by someone -you...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Window tint for security?

    Yeh, it will make it more difficult to get in. You'll still get a broken window, but less glass to deal with and they might leave because of the noise of multiple attempts to fully break the glass. Probably better off putting the money towards a good alarm. One with a proximity sensor that...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West The joys of local overnighters!

    We are getting down to 14F at night now and only getting much colder. This is the typical pit that I see, which is much nicer than a camp stove style. That pit you have there is awesome!!! BTW, My GF is the fire starter. I'm the fire Marshall. I gave her heck for piling the wood so high...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West roof sealants

    You'll get hail damage on your roof anyhow. Sure a one piece roof is nice, but as soon as you add a vent, racks, etc it doesn't make that much of a difference. By not having a one piece roof perhaps you will be more diligent with your maintenance that others with a one piece may neglect.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West roof sealants

    One thing that concerned me is it doesn't mention aluminum in the actual product itself. It is on the manufacturers website though. I didn't buy it until I checked the site. Even though the guys in the shop said they use it all the time on aluminum.

    This is probably what you will end up using. Note that they can't use it in California. Very easy to get in our area. http://www.geocelusa.com/product/all-rv-aftermarket/pro-flex-rva-flexible-sealant-detail.html

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West The joys of local overnighters!

    That's a nice looking fire pit you had at your campsite! I assume that area would be described as boreal forest. I consider fall/winter the start of the camping season. Nice to have the place to yourself with the lower rates. Hopefully you get in many more trips!!! Thanks for sharing the photos.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West How well do F150s with Eco Boost 3.5 or 2.7 do with pop-up camper?

    Kind of cool how the body line on F150 drivers door is kind of a mirror image of the Hawk. They look good together. Glad to hear it has the power you need, especially with 3.31:1 gearing.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Replacement propane door latch

    Pretty cool in the fact that is somewhat resolves the safety argument against using locks. You can leave it unlocked on the ferry or when driving if you are worried about a rollover.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Replacement propane door latch

    My local RV dealer carriers locking and non locking. They look identical to what FWC is using. I think they are pretty standard parts that you should be able to pick up at most RV dealers. If I recall the non locking type were around $5.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Full time FWC'ers give Fwc thumbs up after 10 months

    It looks like condensation has been your biggest issue. Quite the challenge with 5 people in such a small space, night after night. Other than wiping the condensation what sort of measures do you use to reduce condensation? Are you circulating the air while sleeping and during the daytime...
