    Bob ignoring the group. by the way, the surf noise really damped down the generator sound!

    Part of a 50 plus person school tour group enters cg, several buses behind trees, better than trailers I guess!

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Nevada trip report 2018-10

    Yep, glad you had fun but at least we can still find places to do "that back country WTW experience" and that is what counts-right :D ? That and planning for that next WTW experience are what life is all about! Smoke

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Waving at fellow Pop-Top Camper folks

    Always wave too, but never sure of response anymore. It seems that there are more pop-ups on the road theses days and what used to be sort of an "more exclusive" club has grown larger and less exclusive and more of a WTW experience type camper-that make sense? That said, last time out at Matole...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Spare tire, location preference

    Second carrying a good tire repair kit or two and a good plug-in air pump! Getting to old for all that real back country stuff these days, so I just carry my spare in the regular stock position under the rear on my F-150 4x4 with a Grandby-no problems changing it so far (had a slow leak last...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Eastern Sierra Fall Color

    Gee Bill. almost feel bad when I see those nice photos of that area that I didn't head down there when you were there. Coast was still nice thou! Guess I will just have to enjoy the fall colors here instead! Maybe next year I'll make the Fall colors down there. Smoke

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Door Lock on FWC?

    Seems to me I wrote about this problem with my 05 Granby a few years ago (couldn't figure out how put the thread in here) too ! One of the screws came loose on the lock mechanism, and the thing then jammed up the works and me and my trusty pooch "Bob" got locked inside the camper one nice cool...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Truck for the 6.5 foot cab over

    Okay, this is more or less on this subject! In 2005, I bought a new Granby and mounted it on my '99 1/2 ton 4x4 F150 extended cab with a 6.5 bed-tail gate down. I really did not like the ride and reversed dump look, so I went through the usual progression of heavy duty hilwig springs, air bags...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Eastern Sierra Fall Color

    Nice trip reports guys! Glad you did because as I was backing out of my drive way to head down there on that Friday before you guys left, I thought " gee. the weather guy on tv was talking about rain and how cold is was going to be down that way (right Ted)" and "boom" I turned west instead of...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Fall Color Hwy 395

    I think some folks are down there now! Heading out and down that way on Friday the 5th (had weather delay) and plan to be in that area for a while-just poking along looking for color. Like I said in a previous post, haven't been down there in years, so thought about looking for a place to camp...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Vehicle Fire

    Interesting-could have been staged! My first thought too was a catalytic converter. Location and the fire were right ! I don't know how many fires were started by the dang things when we (BLM-Calif) first got them-park over or drive over dry grass when those things were hot and/or got clogged...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Optima BlueTop replacement for Exide

    Okay, it seems to me that a blue top came with my Granby in 2005 (could be wrong there), when I bought it new! In any event, I up graded my set up a few years ago to two camper blue tops when I got rid of my 3 way frig and changed to a compression frig,Wave heater, and added a second blue top...
