    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West awning advice

    have u thought about extending jack brkts all the way up as far as they can go? i would think that would give you a beefy location to mount to. there is good alum tube structure at the corner.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West awning advice

    thx for the saltmade link. good idea. when i ordered my atc, i first ordered the jack brkts to go all the way to the top, and then later changed to std brkts. wish i left that alone. the taller brktry gives you lots of options.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Size of couch in Hawk shell?

    i would also concur with the recommendations for not going with the model that extends past end of truck bed. you also get the benefit of not carrying around the weight of the tailgate. i have a 2015 gmc sierra, and was surprised at the weight of the tailgate. not insignificant. if you are in...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Camper Dolly

    i found a large dolly in a light industrial area near my home. even took some of the boards off of it. started out with 5" wheels but found manuevering with them was a hassle. changed out to the casters that have 4 small wheels on a steel plate. i think these are intended to be put under car...

    after reading this, i would wait until as long as you can, before u submit the change order. u just might have another idea to change something, and it would be better to bundle.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West How much water and diesel do I really need?

    i like the idea of water for fire suppression. i rolled into a FS campground last fall, a week after they started to allow camp fires. i set up camp, then realized the the fire ring coals were HOT. last occupant had just left and didnt put any water on fire/coals. and this was in an area...
