Trasko, I've just answered your PM with a PM. to finish up.

Tue 10/15 or Wed 10/16 a white T-100 with I think a Ranger parked at Applebee's in Burns Oregon.

I PM'd your PM

Found it! PM sent...

I'll PM you as soon as I can find the PM button on here.

Yup a "gut wrapper" stops a lot of the flapping. Roamin Charriots used the same approach on their campers to pull in the cloth when you dropped the top.

I don't recall any specific threads to modifying an older camper to fit a newer truck. There have been some posts where someone has narrowed their camper to fit as part of their overall resto thread. The best one I can think of involved someone doing it to a Keystone. There was another one on...

My guess is you'll need to get bases fabricated. I too have the tripod jacks and anything other than the fold out three legged bases sold by Reico that I've seen have been custom built. The good news is any good welding or fab shop should be able to create whatever you need fairly easily. I'd...

And when I think I have it tough, along comes a report putting it into perspective.... I've been living in my Grandby for the last 8 or 10 days while I finish up work on my house that is in the sale process while the new owners started moving in. Luckly for me, my wife and younger son are...

Better late than never, thank you for sharing.

Or maybe a ferry toll. Yes it is a nice report, thank you for sharing.

Wetcoast, your Fleet is of the same vintage as my Grandby and our units are not pre-pre wired for the fan. I have been told that if going into the ceiling area is required that entering by removing one of the roof panels, is easier to reassemble than putting the liner back up. So far I have...

Looking forward to the finished product.

The short answer is how you use the generator to charge your batteries. If you're using the built in DC system a lot of the newer generators have it thaks a looong time because the DC system puts out low amps. If you are running the generator to an AC/DC charger, like a run of the mill car...

I'm tempted to upgrade, but unfortunately I'm already heavily vested in my interactive backup system, my two sons. Seriously though, for a camera system your price is certainly something to consider for those in the market for one. On behalf of myself and others, thank you for the offer and...

Sadly a lot of RV shops don't know what it takes to "service" a pop up, especially an FWC or don't want to take the time. When you type the roof was replaced do you mean the top skin was replaced with the newer one piece roof?

We're running kinda thin on Clampers in my neck of the woods currently. I have had people come to my front door and ask about mine when they've seen it parked under my shed though.

When you go to re-cover the wood after the epoxy I'd use an outdoor paint on the outside like a porch and deck paint. I've been fortunate, so far any bad wood I've dealt with just required a little epoxy filler. I've helped once with fixing a bad spot in a boat transom using a penetrating...

Appologize not! I for one both liked and appreciated your overnighter to the coast range. It's more than I seem to pull off these days. Oregon has loads of dispersed camping spots both west, east as well as in the Cascades. While many on here may have more "spectacular" I'll bet a lot wish...

From your picture's I'd guess all the fabric patch work on the same side has something to do with it. If your's is a 2000 I think FWC was using the plastic encapsulated plywood by then. Depending how "soft" the wood is and it is plywood there are IMO two options: 1 epoxy the wood or 2 replace...

When I'm surfing West Marine for stuff for my boat.

While my FWC is sans a hot water heater, the motorhome I owned had one. I drained it every fall when freezing temps were a possibility and I wasn't actively using it. Mine just used a regular PVC plug. I tried to fit a valve but drain port/cover clearance was not enough to allow it. Maybe a...

Battery vs hardwired detectors. I personally use the 9 volt battery powered ones for the very reason you pointed out, battery drain. Based on my experience with the hard wired ones in my house had no backup power so no electricity = no detector. I mention this as my CO detector saved me...

First things first, welcome to WTW. IMO either the front dinette or a side booth dinette is markedly better than the side couch/pedistool table that is the FWC standard. The only advantage I find with the side couch is the "corral effect" storage underneath. Mine's a full camper not a shell...

If permitted, I'll cook over an open fire with wood(coals) first. That is my preferred way. I bring a propane grill because you can't always have a fire and it's more convenient. It's the only time I ever use gas to cook. At home I have a Traeger pellet grill after years of using a Weber...
