    Heco Manual Lift System Help

    I have little to offer other than some information. The following is the link to the post, IIRC, from the last time this subject came up. Over the years this topic has come up a time or two. https://www.wanderthewest.com/forum/topic/20462-heco-lifting-system-help/ Ghetto Johnny mentioned the...

    Side Rack Instead of Yakima Rack

    If you dig WAY back through either the Truck Campers or Four Wheel Camper Discussion sections, there was fairly lengthy discussion on, and examples of adding a fairing in front of the cabover. From what I remember, those who had added one were getting a mile or two a gallon increase. It may...

    New to me 82 Keystone FWC

    Hopefully your soft sidewalls are in as good a shape as they appear in the photos. The original insulated ones could get pretty bad. As mentioned, Marty and the group at ATC are very knowledgeable on the old FWC’s. They have had a good answer for mine the couple times I’ve called them over the...

    Viking Camper Owners?

    Don’t have the truck camper, I have an old Viking pop up tent trailer of the same vintage as the truck campers. It complements my old FWC well. The owners manual actually covers both campers and trailers. Did you ever find a fix for your HECO lift system?

    You know you're a geezer when.......................

    That’s not a sign of geezerhood, that’s a sign of thriftiness. FWIW, the first lawn mower I bought to deal with my first lawn was from Western Auto. Anyone remember them?

    Letort Hopper

    “A lake a day while you stay in the Kamloops region!” That was a popular slogan you heard around there in the 1980’s. Nice place and big, sometimes BIG fish for sure. Everyone enjoy your hopper fishing, whatever flavor you like. (Insert your favorite happy here)

    Covid Vaccine -- Have you got yours?

    Here in Oregon, apparently we’re past needing to get stranded to get vaccinated. My first shot was yesterday. Oregon is starting to expand vaccinating by using medical clinics as part of the strategy. In and out in about 50min. Little arm soreness where injected, otherwise fine. On the advice...

    Eastern Sierra Dispersed Camping Summit: Dealing with The Hordes

    “And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.”. Friedrich Nietzsche I’ll start with I certainly understand Teledork’s concerns. While her area has always been popular, the past was nothing compared to now. Foy’s Montana is in a similar boat. Heck, I, as...

    Goodbye 2020 and Hello 2021

    Not very encouraging to consider a trade up when someone does not even make it off the lot. Good luck with your new RV and may you have a hoard of adventures with it.

    Eastern Sierra Dispersed Camping Summit: Dealing with The Hordes

    An interesting read to me for a number of reasons. I personally like and think it’s important to read/get informed about issues and opinions concerning recreation and people’s use of the public domain. Including those places I don’t frequent or haven’t frequented in a long time. Thanks for sharing.

    Replace Or Repair Suburban Heater?

    If you have the handiness required, repairing what you have is probably the easiest, and cheapest if retrofitting a new Suburban or the like requires some remodeling. The catalytic types, like the Wave series, are nice as they don’t require power. Wave heaters have been around a long time. The...

    Apparently here in Oregon, the key to success is to being on the road somewhere: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/davidmack/surprise-covid-vaccine-stuck-snowstorm-oregon

    Call of the Wild

    Awhile back we had a teacher who worked with us for a few summers. He had a Kamperoo type affair he pulled behind a Toyota Tercel. It was smaller than a traditional Kamperoo, more sized for pulling with a motorcycle, but flipped open just like the Roo. Maybe they made a cycle sized one? Either...

    Call of the Wild

    As you took the first step, I’ll come clean. In addition to the near antique Grandby, I also own a nearer antique pop up tent trailer. I’ve actually owned two. The first was a Charlie Brown Christmas Tree affair I bought at a charity auction. The second on a colleague deal I couldn’t refuse...

    It too in my opinion is worth considering. Probably not considered a murder mystery in the true literary sense, a good compelling story none the less. The rhyme was purely unintentional.

    shipping truck camper without truck across country

    Both the above are good options. Another option is going through a load broker, A.K.A. shipping agent. That’s how a lot of freight gets moved. It’s kinda/sorta like USHIP, you give them the details of what you want shipped, when and where, they arrange the shipping. There is a...

    The Fight to Keep Public Lands Public

    It, as others on the Patagonia YouTube Channel are interesting, and I think well done for sure. Regardless of your stance on the issues brought up by this or other productions, the key is to keep an eye on what’s going on with whatever or wherever is important to you, learn something about the...
