After experimenting with a couple of portable options, including a DYI option we settled on a three step Little Giant. We needed a step system that would accommodate us and Paige our golden retriever. This is a heavy duty three step folding unit with wide steps with nonslip rubber treads. It has...

Sorry to hear about your health issue. Hopefully the specialist can provide relief. I’m on week 14 of a total hip replacement and doing ok. I also have arthritis on my lower spine. A long career as a carpenter has caught up with me. Power through and good luck on your outcome. Wayne

Thanks for your review. The clam is going to get a work out next year. Heading on several bug infested fishing adventures. :D

I purchased the same 6x6 clam and haven’t used it yet. Purchased for MN. camping. The mosquitoes are unbelievable at times. How was the setup and take down? Did it fit ok in its original sleeve for storage. Most of these things barely fit after use.

This is probably the camera for me. Thanks for the information, I’m going to check out this line of cameras. Wayne

I’ve been following the fires in California on the nightly news. Bad deal for all effected by the power outages. Maybe time to redesign the entire power grid. I’m sure there can be a engineered solution the power grid related fires. Just wondering how many of these fires are caused by discarded...

I know that water is a major issue in a lot of western states. Balancing modern mans needs and nature is a tough balance. Here in the Midwest we are blessed with plenty of water. This year we could have gladly shared with our western neighbors. Nice pic and article on the subject. Hope they are...

I agree with OP. As a newbie here, the members have helped me with respect. Great information gained here on multiple subjects. The trip reports are awesome, with some really talented photographers. This is a great forum overall! Great place to hang out and learn. Wayne

You western guys have some sweet areas! I’m stockpiling ideas for future road trips. Thanks for sharing! Wayne

Great travel post! Planning a two week fishing trip on the St. Lawrence next June. Thanks for the blogs. Wayne

Amazing pics! Thanks for sharing! Wildlife pics are a real treat!

Tow package only. Payload 2150 rated. 36 gal tank, tow haul ten speed trans, brake controller. The standard cab gives this truck the 2150 payload rating. Some guys do have the F-150 with the 3000 payload package. I personally don’t think it is necessary for my use. I don’t leave the camper on...

Posted 16 October 2019 - 09:12 AM ColdWater....your pictures are not loading. At least I can't see them on this web page. Not sure why you can’t see the pics. I’m not a techy to know why. Wayne

I used the longest version l believe they are 70”.

:D Good point!

Thanks Frank!

2019 Grandby with a front dinette. And it does have the escape side window. But in a life or death scenario I’m thinking it would be tough to escape quickly.

Two requests completed today. Add a shelf and interior light to a kitchen cabinet. The light is a battery powered fixture with a button on off switch. Very bright and requires two AA batteries. Fixture has two 3M adhesive strips for attaching to surfaces. Nice fixture purchased at Walmart. The...

Being new FWC owners got me thinking. What if an undetected fire started in the rear of the camper? What if an exterior fire prevented exiting the rear door? If the smoke alarm doesn’t function as expected, how would you escape? The fire extinguisher is mounted on the floor in the rear so it’s...

Very nice gathering of FWC’s. Thanks for sharing.

Not sure on shipping fees. I live close to the factory and picked mine up there. Check their web site or call they are very nice to deal with. And yes total quality on their products.
