Asphalt 9 miles west to Oceanside Harbor at least 100 feet away from the cars. Then around the Marina and sometimes the Strand, our local "Boardwalk" except there...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Electric Bike "carry-behind " 2019

    Yes I know an "Electric Bike " is not technically a Truck accessory,,,Except for many of us oldsters we don't like to have to break camp to go to the local store to pick up a few things and don't need or want to tow a vehicle. Here is an alternative that is relatively affordable - "RAD Power...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Fridge Causes Voltage Drop?

Battery is over two years old now (guarantee 2 years). In March it was tested = still over 80% good. Roof solar panel keeps it topped off...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Roof Solar vs Portable - Revisited

    I believe its a good idea to report the following as each year brings a new crop of folks to camping in campers. Review the "reason you need roof solar" Post from 2014. History: Many of us used portable in the early days of compressor fridges assuming the alternator would charge the battery...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Tacoma + FWC: Automatic or Manual?

    Buying a used truck, especially a Tacoma, is a challenge because many of them are missing desirable full size truck features. Like the "Trailer Towing pkg" (TTP). Features a 3:73 rear axle ratio. Trucks need low end torque for towing and hauling full loads. Your Fully loaded Fleet will be...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Thru bolt or not thru bolt...that is my question

    David, All trucks have steel floors except Tacomas. Buy the "elevator" Bolt from Four Wheel. With Tacomas you have your local welder weld 1/4 inch steel plate onto the frame. Drill 3/8 inch hole through the camper, plastic bed floor through the plates add nut and you are done. Our Eagle has...

    If you have followed my "basic build" you will have seen that I use the speaker lift that BobM has is his video. Really works well. To prevent the pole from slipping off the wood plate on the ceiling I installed two wood "closet pole" sockets from Home Depot. Wood ones match the wood pretty...
