    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West A few new things that FWC installs now

    I cannot see a brand on it....don't know how to post an image. Brenda at FWC would know if they out source it or have it made for them on contract. I have too little exposure to other brand campers to know if it is widely used. DG

    Thanks All Fortunately our camper is 2019 so the residue is fairly soft still....comes off pretty well. I am not too worried as I will reinstall with the same tape. David Graves

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West mounting rotopax between truck cab roof and below bed section?

    Howdy How about an old fashioned Jerry can and holder...bolt it to the side of your truck bed ? Only need it when you go remote....remove the can and fuel when you don't need it.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West mounting rotopax between truck cab roof and below bed section?

    Howdy Have you asked yourself why you need an extra few gallons of fuel ? A small amount of planning might allow for filling the truck tank more often.... I understand the notion of using all available space....but suggest adding soft outdoor gear to the cab of the truck... ( PFD's. ground...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Porta Boats ?

    Sitting on a leaf.....I just can't do that but then we get lots of wind and etc. I guess they and the Tucktec design are innovative and would do in a pinch.... Anyone here actually paddled one of these for more tan and hour ? I would love to hear comments.

    Good Topic here Another time we have had to sleep top down was in some severe weather ....hunkered down in lee of an old school house and made the best of it. It is a good idea to understand how you could sleep if you get a weather surprise....in our case it was gusts to 70. David Graves

    Hi Vic Our Grandby does not have Yakima tracks and this is a one time trip. I did carry our 70 lb. Old Town wood canvas once on the Hawk and it was just too much to lift.....particularly for this trip where we will be in and out of the water and several back country lakes...perhaps the Sayward...
