Thanks for this posting. I have a similar Truckfridge and have never given it a cleaning. You've inspired me to clean mine. Is taking the panels off pretty straight forward? Any tips on what not to do?

If you decide to go with the Propex I have a propex thru hull fitting you can have.

I have the Panther and really like the extra 6" width. It's only 3" per side and it feels less top heavy on curvy roads ( there's probably some engineer out there who would dispute this). I have a bench seat across the front and can really stretch out on it. One thing to consider is if you are...

It was snowing when I woke up yesterday and hwy 101 was closed between Seaside and Cannon Beach because of ice.

Thanks for your TR - nothing like the desert to reflect on the beauty of the natural world!!

Ouch- that would've had me cussing up a storm!! I worry about something like that whenever I use my "Hole Hawg". Jeep looks so clean and un-molested and already you'll have fond memories of working on it.

A fixed solar panel is in the future, especially here in the PNW. I used to live in a pine forest and my rig was constantly covered with pine sap, pollen and dust not to mention falling branches, so I didn't want the chore of having to clean a solar panel. During recent fall trips to the No...

The IP65 looks like a great charger and is comparable in price to the Renogy. I don't know if I'm needlessly concerned but will the Victron will activate the battery in case of a low temp shut off? I'd like to think that my MPPT charge controller would automatically re-active the battery but I...

Thanks for the input. This is all new to me and I just want to be able to start off a trip with a fully charged battery. Guess I'll drive down the coast, see where the SOC ends up and top off with my solar if necessary.

Hi All, I recently installed a Renogy 100ah LiPo battery and dc-dc charger. I plan on disconnecting the battery at 50-70% charge while on an extended vacation. I'm looking for an inexpensive home charger to charge the battery when I return. Any recommendations on a charger? Or why I shouldn't...

I love trees too, just not on my rig!!

If you're taking Hwy101 towards Mendocino I'd try to get a site at Navarro SP at 101 and 128 (might be flooded!). Further east on 128 is Hendy Woods where you'll have a better chance of securing a spot. Further on east on 128 is Booneville where Anderson Brewing Co has some great brews. You can...

I had to pack up 50 years accumulation of shop tools when I moved to the PNW. I bought 6 of the Planos to pack chainsaws, hole hawgs, concrete saws, framing nailers, and every odd sized tool imaginable. I also bought 8 black storage bins with yellow lids from Home Depot and loaded them up with...

I use a King Camp Awning. It's cheap, light, and easy to setup. It packs like a small tent and I throw it in the back of my cab for trips to the desert when I know there won't be any shade. Otherwise it stays at home.

$3.78 yesterday at Fred Meyer in Warrenton plus $1.00 off shopping credit = $2.78 net. The last time I paid under $3.00 was 2016 in Texas headed down to Big Bend.

I've haven't had any mice/rats in my ATC or prior FWCs. My Tundra on the other hand -I've caught several mice and keep 3-4 traps in there full time and catch a couple once a month. I recently had electrical problems with my '19 Tundra and my mechanic found a large nest behind the center console...

+1 on Cape Disappointment. The Three Capes Loop offers three capes to view king tides. There may not be the huge waves you hope to see but the scenery is spectacular. Keep in mind if you want to see huge waves crashing on the rocks you'll want to be there during or right after a major storm so...

2 nights in Yellowstone during a snowstorm with no furnace, once along Hell's Canyon to grab a couple hours of sleep driving straight through from Glacier NP to Ca, and couple of times at a rest stop.

I have large windows on both sides of my Panther shell. I like the additional light and cross breezes it creates. My prior Hawks didn't have the driver side window and I often felt like I was sitting in a cave. Another benefit for me is when I hear something nearby I don't have to sit and wonder...

We moved from the drought, fire, and smoke of the Ca foothills so we're loving all the rain here. There always seems to be a break in the weather where we can get a quick hike in so we're always monitoring the hourly forecasts which are surprisingly accurate. I've had to invest in some good rain...

Really enjoyed the video. I'm new to the NW Oregon coast and lucky to be a 5-10 minute drive from several beaches. The last few days we've been hit with back to back to back rain storms and currently have gale, hazardous seas, and beach hazard warnings in addition to flood watch. Winds are...

Here's a pic of my 2019 Panther shell dinette. Another pic of a FWC Hawk that I converted the rollover couch to side dinette.

I know this is a little off topic but have you considered doing your own mod? I had a 2009 or so Hawk with a rollover couch that I converted to a side dinette. After removing the rollover couch I disassembled the storage box below the rollover couch and re-used the paneling to make a box for the...

I picked up a Renogy 100ah Li battery and DC/DC charger. Not a screaming deal but my VMaxx AGM just made it's last trip a few weeks ago.
