    We just had a strange weather warning here for the eastern Sierras that because of a very low snow pack, they were not issuing their usual spring creek/river flood warning---never saw one of those before- I guess we are back in a drought again! Smoke

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Escape Hatch?

    Several years ago, I posted here my adventures of using my "escape hatch" after one of my "door latch lock screws" unscrewed itself enough to let the lock slip and locked me and my faithful hound inside my FWC. That said, it was not in itself hard to push out the window, the problem was letting...

    Yep-you just joined the club and found out about the joys of owing a pop-up! That first time is always fun, now throw in some rain and lightning next time and go for the next level, but you know, these things really are built to withstand most of what nature can throw at them and still hold...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West HELP! Propane Tank Purge Reno Area?

    That happened to me here in Susanville a few years ago-but got lucky and found a smart clerk! The latest thing is how old your tank is-seems like there is a memo out a while back saying ya can't fill 'em past a certain age, but if you find someone who has been doing it for a while no...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Brand new to truck campers - important question

    I've got tall friends who have no problem getting in/out; I'm 5'10' and have no problems. One thing you find out fast when you own a pop-up is how many people stop by to have a look and most are surprised about how much head space there really is-again as was said above the cross wise sleeping...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West How do you plan trips?

    Yep-spend those "down" times, planning for the next "up" times. Nothing better than being there is planning for the next one. Liked that quote Steve! As a side, one of the great joys of having a pop up is being able to "follow your nose" and see what adventure awaits you on the other side of...
