    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Ford 6.7L Powerstroke & Fuel Quality

    Hi Steve.... Did you get snowed in last weekend? 90F along the SC coast the past 10 days! Sorry to hear your wallet is significantly lighter! I have a few random thoughts...and memories. I don't recall the MY of your 350 (mine is a '16)... Your comment about the cold engine stutter brings...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Current Spike in Gas Prices

    Prices have jumped to $2.19 for regular since the attack on the Saudi oil fields. Diesel was $2.65 and now $2.79 most places. Prices are much higher along the I-95 corridor.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Hellwig Big Wig bags leaking

    Air lines are often the culprit when it comes to slow leaks. Most often, leaks are a result from lines not squarely cut and flush inside fittings. One has to ensure air lines are squarely cut. Tube cutters are the only tool to use IMO. Even then, you have to be careful not to compress the...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Current Spike in Gas Prices

    We now live north of Charleston, SC along the ICW and Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge. Regular is ~$1.97 and was $1.93 at COSTCO on Friday. I expect gas prices to spike upwards quite a bit in the next few days with the Saudi's reducing output by 50%. Even though they are only reducing...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Propane Detector won’t stop beeping

    Mine failed when the camper was just a few months old. Got a new unit from the factory and no issues for 4 years! Call the factory and have them drop ship a new unit.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Concealed Carry

    My 2 cents on conceal carry.... Take a class, even four or five from very respected instructors. Decide if you have the mind set for shooting another human being. Also, explore the post shooting circumstances you will most certainly be facing. When I say take a class, I'm am referring to...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Looking for FWC Hawk Hardside

    Good luck in your search! The HT (hard top) model is kind of rare. I've never seen one in all of my travels. Here's Stan's post from 2010. The HT model satisfies the NPS requirement for hard sided camper when camping in Grizz country such as at Yellowstone's Fishing Bridge RV Park (actually...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Campsite Fees

    Hi Eddie How many times have you seen 2, 3 or even 4 tents on a single site? Happens quite a bit in the East. Glad you had a great trip and now safely home in VA. Tents (stand alone) are handled completely different then drive-in/sleep-in vehicles by DoI and DoA. Note that a rooftop tent...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Tire Pressures

    Best thing to do is load your truck and camper as if going on a camping trip. Fill up the gas tank, then head to a truck stop with scales and get your truck weighed. You then have your axle weights. Since the Firestone/Ford tire debacle back in the late 90s, only Toyo (to my knowledge) still...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Garmin/InReach Message Issues

    While not an inReach issue, another example of comm link failure happened to us last week. We live off the high speed internet grid; we use a cellular Hotspot to connect on a daily basis . As such, we can only download software updates/patches when we visit friends and family who have a high...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Garmin/InReach Message Issues

    I have had inReach for 5 years. I have had an off & on issue with Gmail accounts and certain cellular recipients (Sprint and Verizon) receiving my "preset" messages in the past. I have not had an issue when the message went through an ISP to a Gmail recipient read on their computer...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Interesting article about Hallmark

    Beautiful rig. Love the wrap! Personalized. Thanks for sharing Eddie. My concern would be weight, especially on single track, off chamber where I tend to venture. Must be some serious frame flexing with that payload. Now to put a 3" AEV lift kit on that beast!

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Full Photoshop on an iPad..

    Probably an excellent business strategy/product for adventure travelers, especially those of us on motorcycle. Kind of a pain to tote camera gear AND a MacBook Pro. Losing ~3 pounds not carrying the laptop would be nice. 3# may not seem like much, until you've picked up your motorcycle for...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Leave camper jacks at home ?

    I leave them at home. Mostly due to the fact the floor must be supported when the camper is off the truck and you want to enter it. I don't want to tote a support platform so need to carry the jacks.

    Breecer Welcome WTW. I have a 2016 Hawk, I might sell as well. Has everything you listed on your wish list. When you mentioned driver and passenger side windows, those come with the front dinette option, which mine has as well. I also have the Silver Spur interior. I haven't considered...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Portable solar port?

    The most robust connector I've come across, which I now use for portable solar, trolling motors, etc...is the Power Winch unit. I got the idea from Mike at Master Repair in Florida. Mike has been using this unit for electrical connections for marine applications for 25+ years. I had a unit on...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West tire choices ?

    I had AT3s and was pleased with the results. Likewise for Toyo, BFG and Michelin. I rotate tires at every oil change, 5000 miles. I have a 4 wheel alignment done every 2 years, unless I bang a wheel too hard. Also, inflating/maintaining/monitoring tire psi to your axle loading. Use the Toyo...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West EBay...never again

    Certainly nothing wrong with opting out in the future! We vote with our dollars. I'm huge on customer service as well. And I certainly do not hesitate to pay a premium for product when I think I might need customer service attention. I have used EBay for farkle purchases when low pricing...
