    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Collings Foundation B-17 Crash

    Back in the 90's when you could buy stick time on the '17 and the '24, I flew the '17 in 1994, and the '24 in 1996. Something I'll always remember, and looks kind of neat in your log book. Accidents like this continue to drive insurance costs up for warbirds and I'm afraid in not too many years...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Solar Install on Bobcat, Need Help.

    I happened to stop by ATC yesterday morning when 5outta6 was having his camper looked at. The guys found a short between the negative lead of the solar panel and the camper frame (which effectively bypassed the controller and put full panel voltage on the battery). Here's what they did to...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Cutting out some of the framing

    Why wouldn't they be different? One's an ATC, the other a FWC. Call Marty and ask about the integrity of the wall, he can answer your questions.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West WTW Gathering - July 2019 - Tahoe Sierra Area

    Let me be the first with a big shout out to Ski and Julie for being such great hosts of the WTW gathering. I had a great time meeting new friends and catching up with old ones I haven't seen in a few years. The weather couldn't have been any better! Lots of great rigs to check out and plenty of...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Camping 100 miles south of Woodland off I5?

    Coming north on I-5, you'll go through Stockton, then after about 8 miles, you'll pass the "Eight Mile Road" turn-off. Continue to the next turn-off which will be HY-12. The Hy-12 exit is clearly marked. There's a "Flag City" RV resort there, a McDonalds, a Flying J travel center, etc. You...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Camping 100 miles south of Woodland off I5?

    About 60 miles south of Woodland off of I-5 is Hy-12, take it west into the Delta, there's plenty of places to camp. The first one would be Tower Park Marina, they have a big KOA there, then about 6~7 miles further west is the "Delta Loop", several places to camp on the loop. This time of year...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Vacuum (food) sealer

    If you suck something into the machine, it's easy to clean. On the bottom is a small door with a foam filter inside, It usually catches most "stuff", pull it out and clean it.. There's also a small cleaning tool that comes with the machine that will clean out the suction tube, and last but...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Vacuum (food) sealer

    I bought this one : https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078VT1T6X/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It uses "chamber vac" bags which are about 1/8th the cost of the rolled bags used on most sealers (4 to 7 cents each depending on size, in bulk). You can, in a pinch, use zip lock...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Hamsters in Campers

    They used to make a manually tuned version, although I haven't looked at their site in quite some time. I researched several antennas before buying the HI-Q. No one that I know of makes anything with the "Q" and efficiency of their antennas. HF mobile antennas, at best, are a compromise and...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Hamsters in Campers

    I leave the antenna on all the time, even in the woods as it's kind of a PITA to remove. The top stainless whip is 54 inches long and very flexible. I hit trees etc with it all the time, and it will bend horizontal without any damage (it's been on the truck 11 years). I do have a fold-over...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Hamsters in Campers

    I run HF mobile with an old Grandby on the truck. I don’t know what kind of HF antenna you plan on using on the rig, but if it’s a screwdriver type, I would not recommend you attach to a jack bracket. I use a HY-Q 4/80RT antenna, and it weighs close to 10lbs. That weight flexing back and forth...
