    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Low cost DIY Lithium camper batteries.

    Rando, Thanks for posting this project as it got me off my butt starting to do a similar battery for the camper. I ordered two cases of cells and played with them for a few days, and then ordered a third case. My plan is to use 40 cells per bank for a little over 200AH. I have a couple nice...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West E bikes?

    I just recently got an E-bike, an FLX trail. I've only had it a couple weeks and have just over 100 miles on it. I'ts going to ride along on a lot of upcoming trips. I hadn't ridden a bicycle in about 20 years so it's been a fun experience. Being a 74 year old guy with two artificial knees...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Dog heat safety

    Since my truck is a diesel, I have no problem letting it idle for a couple hours. My dog traveled with me everywhere and sometimes I had to leave her in the truck for a while. I'd just lock it up, leaving the engine running and the AC on. I would post the sign shown below in the window and go...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Does anyone truthfully have airbags that don't leak?

    Yes! I've have a set of Carli long travel airbags on my Dodge for over six years and they have yet to leak any air. Expensive but worth every penny.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Grease Guns

    Saw a lot of them, and fired a few in SEA in 68~69. You could control the rate of fire by unscrewing the barrel and changing head-space, from very slow to so fast they would jam. Interesting old gun..

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West 2017 ATC Get Together (Everyone is Welcome) July 27-30

    Don, Plan is to leave on the 26th. Heading up 80 to Winnemucca, to 95, then 140, so don't think we'll be anywhere near your digs. If you'd like to catch up on the road that would be great, but have no idea your route. No dog yet, maybe in August. Don't know about Marty's dog. Keep me posted...

    Did you try to get some from Four Wheel?? You could also call ATC, they use pretty much the same thing. Marty is always a big help.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West OUCH!

    So as most of you know it's been slightly hotter than hell here in the Sacramento Valley. As such a few trees have been suffering, especially a couple in my neighbors yard. A couple days ago one decided to shed a large limb which happened to land on my camper. Back in December, after some...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West propane tank certification

    My camper is 21 years old as is the propane tank. The tank has been "inspected" and tagged twice, the last time,10 days ago. The "inspection" consisted of checking the tank for surface rust and a little soapy water on the valve. $5.00 later it has a new tag and is good to go.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West More GREAT Service from ATC.

    I spent most of last week on the North Coast around Gualala. My old camper is 21 years old and I finally had the rear lift panel fail during the trip. Bright and early (I'm retired so 9:00am is early) Monday morning I show up at ATC. I show Marty the lift panel and and ask him to build a new...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Water tank drain pipe snapped off above petcock FWC 2001 Hawk - how to access?

    I've broken mine off twice. As CougarCouple states, use an easy out to get the broken part out of the tank. After the second time I broke it off, I replaced everything with brass fittings. It won't break off again. Good luck.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Has anyone installed a diesel heater in a truck camper

    I camp frequently with Marc and I'll add, even with a muffler, the Webasto is very loud outside the van. It sounds like a small jet engine running. I make it a point to park on the opposite side of the van from the heater exhaust. Even then, it's quite audible. It's the nature of the beast.

    Sacramento NWR is right off HY5 between Willows north and Williams south. I drive from Sacramento so don't camp in that area. Delevan NWR is just south of Sacramento NWR, and Colusa NWR is off HY20 in Colusa, south and east of Sacramento NWR. All three are easily done in a single day. Colusa...
