    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Slide in Vs Flatbed?

    Guess it's just a matter of preference. Ask guys who work out of a truck which is better, flatbed vs regular. i have both, and prefer the flatbed, two of my best friends prefer flatbeds as well, our other brother, yep you guessed it regular bed. Campers make this even more interesting, i like...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Best Cold Weather Tips

    When we built our camper, we skipped the mattress, i purchased two thermarest mondo king xl pads. R value is supposedly near the top for these type of pads. Wife is small, i am not. No one mattress works for us. i also put an old closed cell pad under them to help with the really cold nights...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Did I mention that I DESPISE generators!’

    Could not agree more. i am not a fan of generators. That being said i always carry one. i bought a new honda 2k, converted to propane(no stink) and while i have had it 3 years, it has less than three hours on it. The main reason i bought it was,due to me being solo most of the time wanted it in...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Truck camping at ski resorts in the Pacific Northwest/British Columbia

    If and it's a big if, i run my Honda 2k, it is only when we are out of sight and sound of other people. Pretty obtrusive to me to have to listen to one. A ski area parking lot during the day/early evening would most likely be ok as most people around you are out and about. Going to be a strange...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Truck camping at ski resorts in the Pacific Northwest/British Columbia

    Would maybe suggest trying to do the MT section later in year. Temps can get very low and stay there for a while. Without electric hookups, prolonged use in these temps could make drying out a chore. If i am out for more than two days in the winter i try to bring a generator (i know, hassles)...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West next after Upper Stableloads? Jittery ride on rough pavement

    Hi, i have a similar setup, and also use stable loads. I have them on all of my superdutys that have had campers. Not really sure what you mean by jittery, but can tell you that from personal experience weight or lack of could be a problem. My current setup would ride a little light in the rear...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West ATC Manx Flatbed Camper: 2nd Generation

    Fantastic, Love the interior. Would have loved an extended bed, just to not have to lose the counter space! Very clean build. The cabinet color has just caused the wife to inform me that i will be staining mine this winter. Great lucking setup.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West What truck with a FWC

    i really like the tremor and the power wagon, may buy a buddies PW as my daily. Would not go with either for a truck camper. The PW doesn't have a lot of payload, not too sure of the tremor. When i put mine together i researched a lot, then chose the truck that had the minimum needed suspension...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West F250 as a F350 alternative for moderate camper.

    Hi, Welcome. This is a great group to learn from. i am a Ford guy, my opinion is this. F350s are not that much more expensive than a F250, offer more payload generally and have a higher re-sell often. That is why i switched. These things( campers) can get heavy quickly. My thoughts have always...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Too many stupid people

    Nothing really to add, just complain i suppose. i have seen more and more people in "my"spots for the last few years. This "overlanding" thing is off the charts. i don't blame anyone for wanting to be out there, but i just wish they would spend half the amount of time they spend researching gear...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West All terrain exterior storm window cover vs. Four Wheel interior cover

    a little late to the party as usual, but i rarely use all of my windows, mostly because of time. When i do i just get the step ladder i use for bed and do a little climbing to get mine folded up. Most of the time it is just the one by the door. Having had interior ones and exterior ones, i feel...
