I just finished making some screens for the door.....Velcro is too thick...keeps door from closing. Simple solution is just fasten you screen panel with Blue tape.....leave it in place ...remove to access the turnbuckle spaces and then tape it back. If we lived east a better solution might be...

An advantage of most shell models over fully built out campers is the ability to sit opposite your travel partner and eat dinner, have a conversation etc etc. The advantage of the fully built out campers is the opportunity to sit on a couch and stare 23 inches away at your kitchen sink...

Howdy I think they are on an extended Alaska trip....maybe no WEB access.. David Graves

Might need some turnbuckles !! :eek: Reminds me of the bunks on shipboard ....there is a nautical term for the restraints that keep a sailor in his bunk. DG

I would be mad too....should have asked her to sew it. Looks like a project well completed.....I was pondering how you would stow it and finally reached the same solution you did. We once owned a small motorhome that had this insane pull down bunk that folded UP to almost flush with the...

Hi Phil Many thanks but we need somewhere to stow it up on I90 corridor or close. Plan is to dash over the border on our way home in late September and retrieve our vintage Old Town canoe from a restoration shop. David Graves

Howdy We are looking for a fellow wanderer in the Pocatello general area who would be willing to let us stow our small canoe trailer for much of the month of September. It is a long story but we are headed to the Mid Atlantic and need our canoe trailer on the return later in the month. Please...

Any commercial truck repair place will have tons of fittings, hose and etc. Some of the larger chain truck stops usually have some also....Pilot, Loves, Flying J etc. And don't forget your local Frieghtliner dealer...service center. David Graves

Creative design.... You may want to consider a single support post under the front bed slide below the outboard board.... :) Have you asked HER what she thinks of the design ? I tend to think some sort of guard/restraint on the cliff edge my be in order. I was a camp counselor a hundred...

When we really need to know we can stay in a particular camp site....we just make plans to get there early. On our extended several week trips it is easy enough to build in a schedule where you are stopped for the night by 4-5 pm. I am personally bothered by the notion that some folks feel...

Howdy I thought I would give this thread a bump as we plan to zip over to the mid Atlantic area for some family time and other business.....and then zip back to Oregon. Harvest Hosts seems inviting as they include several museums and historic sights I would like to visit anyway. Has anyone...

Howdy Always a good idea to shed things not needed for a specific trip.... With our new truck and Grandby we shed the FWD...... David Graves

Howdy I think the fine print for the speed controller says it never shuts off entirely....and I don't have a reversing switch with a neutral "off"position.....nowhere to mount it if I had one. Thanks DG

Howdy Has anyone ordered the variable speed control for a Fantastic fan lately ? DG

Thanks for the info....will read it all now. I did buy the fan, motor and bow tie bracket as an assembly.... :) I think I only need to source a fuse holder and a switch. David Graves

Howdy, Has anyone installed a fan in a Dometic non fan roof vent ? I recently purchased the fan and motor assembly only to realize that I need some sort of mounting plate for the motor "bow tie" frame and of course the fuse and switch. This is to add a fan to a FWC (Dometic) roof vent in our...

Howdy Thanks for the remarkable images...glad you got to see them all in bloom ! David Graves

Jack Got the PM and responded.

Hi Jack We may have an interest. What can you tell me about the product ? We are heading east for about a month and looking for how best to sleep comfortable in the humidity and heat. We live out in Tillamook county. David Graves

Howdy Now you are really thinking..... Budgeting your dynamic weight items ....stuff you bring along not attached to the truck....can make a big difference. Always stow the heavier items forward in the camper nearer to the trucks center but also secure them or at least against a bulkhead in...

An old farmer I know said leave the front of your roof down and point your truck downhill southward.....it is not 45 degrees but it is better than flat. Or, you could drive to the equator . DG

Howdy I had no idea FWC had adopted Vinyl siding........ I guess I can say it is lightweight and has many years use in residential applications so things like UV wear etc should be designed in. Is it Aprils Fools day ? David Graves

Many thanks Yes a very strong type of piano hinge. An image is worth so much ! Thanks Jon

Thanks Vic I had not thought of that. DG

Bummer Sage Flooding in the heat of summer....sounds like the SW. Be safe.
