    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Li Jump Starter

    Hi all, A recent topic on recovery gear has me thinking about replacing my heavy and bulky JNC jump starter with a Lithium Ion booster. The JNC is rated at 425 cranking amps and it's hard to compare with the Li specs. I have a Tundra 5.7L and can't decide between the 1500amp Noco GB50 or the...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Keep your eyes on the road your hands upon the wheel

    Some areas to explore out of Nevada City are Graniteville Road from Malakoff Diggins to Bowman Lake or Gaston Road from Washington to Bowman Lake. Perazzo Meadows that Lighthawk mentions is beautiful in the fall and worth checking out. Lots of brookies in the creek that meanders through it.

    Glad you got out Craig!! In the 90's I used to camp at the north end of Meadow Lake or on the shoreline in my '85 Westphalia. Used to be a favorite spot to paddle around and hike. Stopped going there after the campground was developed sometime in the early 2000s.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West River fire flyover by

    Thanks for posting Craig- great video. We're just west of Dog Bar Rd and Taylor Crossing and can see the fire retardant line from our deck. My wife's childhood home ( now Montoliva Vineyard) is right next to the Chicago Park elementary school and she can see that her home survived. Interesting...

    Thanks Ski- sadly, I lost all of my photo's from the trip. Our home was in the evacuation zone during the River fire and our friends secured our pets and computer hard-drive. After I booted up and loaded pics from my Iphone something went awry and we lost all content for the last 8 months...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Common ATC Customizations

    I installed the Propex but had ATC run the gas and electrical for it where I wanted it. ATC also installed the thru-hull fitting for the exhaust vent. ATC built the front bench and side dinette ( I supplied the Lagun table mount) but I asked them to build it so that the cushions matched the...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West $500 to $600 camper fridge?

    I've been running a Truckfridge TF51 for 4 years. It's very quiet and I just insulate it with Reflectix , but it's probably fine without it. No issues with it and no regrets!

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West ATC status

    WTW is your best bet for an owners group. Their campers haven't changed over the years and the few tweaks they offer are on their pricing/options page. The great thing about ATC is you can ask if something can be done and they'll do it if it's possible. Ski's right about them being a small shop...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Insuring a FWC through USAA

    The insurance company wants to know what the value of your camper is to give them a basis for what the cost will be. You will need to know if your coverage is actual cash value or stated value. If it's ACV your settlement will be based on the value at the time off loss, just like your car or...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Insuring a FWC through USAA

    It's true that the agent will receive an additional commission for selling you additional coverage or policy. The agent is aware of what is not covered on your auto or homeowners policy and is doing their job by pointing out the holes in your coverage and how to fill them. You are not forced to...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Insuring a FWC through USAA

    My 2cents. If you want physical damage coverage for your camper - comprehensive & collision- your policy should have it listed on the policy declarations along with your other vehicles or in some cases the insurer will issue a stand alone rv/camper policy stating your deductibles and $cost...

    The coast seems like a great place to be with this early heatwave we're having. My wife and I were in Mendocino the end of April and I decided to drive down the coast and catch Greenwood Rd to head east for home. I completely spaced and when we hit Manchester Beach I realized I didn't take my...
