    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West The Big Summer Adventure - August 2019

    I finally read through your great summer adventures. What a great trip and some monumental day hikes. Such a treat to see the Bighorns!! Lately any ascents approaching 14,000' have been giving me altitude sickness so I just avoid them. Great to see you still making the climbs!! My current boots...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Rate my dolly

    I made my 1st dolly with 8" casters - 2 swivel and 2 non swivel- 4x6 pressure treated I already had, and no floor. I couldn't move my Hawk around very well on my uneven asphalt in front of the garage. I found a 5x8 flatbed trailer for $200 on CL. It was probably a boat trailer originally. Now I...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Yikes! Total Canon Sell Off

    A friend of mine has been capturing some stunning images with his Sony. Can't wait to see some of yours. The Goshute Mountain raptor migration just peaked but I'll bet you could still see quite a few raptors. Have fun !!

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Camera for a newbie

    It's hard to know exactly what will fit your needs until you start trying out different combinations of cameras and lens. That's how people end up with 4-5 lens or more and are constantly looking for their ideal system. It took me many years and $1,000s of dollars to figure what kind of...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Yikes! Total Canon Sell Off

    Back in the film days I used to lug around a Canon F1 and some combination of a long lens along with a Leica M7/21mm so I didn't have to change lens on the fly. In the digital age I started with a Canon 5D/ Zeiss 21MM and my wife handled all of the long shots with her Nikon setup. Tired of the...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Why did you choose ATC over FWC

    Thanks! Really llke the side dinette. On my Hawk I converted the rollover couch to side dinette and the seat by the door had the backrest that rolled over to convert to a bed. I was concerned about the lack of a backrest on the ATC but the Mrs says she doesn't miss it at all. In and out access...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Why did you choose ATC over FWC

    I hadn't heard of ATC before joining the WTW community. Thanks to you and a few other owners favorable comments it was a no brainer to have Marty build my Panther. I realize that most of the mods I did were because I always had used FWCs and I was never satisfied with the layout. I did gain...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Why did you choose ATC over FWC

    More pics. The Panther has the 2 burner stove and I've installed the Propex heater. I already had the Truckfridge and slider that I built for my old Hawk. Marty made me an extra table top that I wanted for a small food prep table. I installed the side table using simple 12" folding shelf...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Why did you choose ATC over FWC

    We're getting our first rain so I can't go on my planned hike, so I thought I'd post some pics of my new Panther. I picked it up on July 10th and have gone on 2 trips so far and I couldn't be happier with how it came out. The Panther is 84" wide so there's more clearance between the rear...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Towing Mirrors?

    I have a '19 Tundra Double cab and never felt the need to have towing mirrors with my 05 Hawk. I currently have an ATC Panther that is 4" wider than a Hawk and still feel perfectly comfortable driving with the oem side mirrors. I do use 4" spot mirrors that helps eliminate blind spots plus I can...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Camper Windows?

    I like a lot of natural light so I had my ATC built with windows on both sides as well as the front window. I like to see what's behind me as I'm driving. While sitting inside I don't like the feeling of being in a cave and if I hear any weird noises I can just look out the window instead of...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West TC Insurance questions, my current provider, USAA, is not doing a good job

    I also live in Ca and just added my new ATC to my policy. I was asked for the vin # but I told them that Ca does not require vin/registration for campers. My insurer settled for the ID #, year built, make, model # and purchase price. I was sent verification that it was added to my policy the...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Air Bags needed ?

    I'd put the camper on and see how it rides before spending money on air bags. I can't speak for Tacoma's but when I bought my '14 Tundra I put air bags on it right away and when I put my Hawk on it I didn't feel like I needed them. I never liked the ride with the camper off ( 80%) of the time)...

    Wow- you guys are sure getting around - good on you!! I haven't been to Great Basin NP for years. Is Baker Creek CG the same one that was totally undeveloped back in the 90's?? I used to camp somewhere south of the main road taking you up to the park. I just remember driving as far as I could on...

    Welcome to WTW - I'm sure you'll love your ATC Bobcat. You probably won't ever have your Bobcat serviced for anything but if you do Marty and crew provide excellent service at reasonable rates. Happy adventures!!
