    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Idaho

    Gravelly is very cool. Ennis is great! Everything else is great too. On the Clearwater (Kelly Creek?) the fishing was very productive but for me is was better further downstream from Kelly Creek but it was great scenery, etc. Near Stanley you could fish Big Wood, Lost River, Silver Creek too.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Truck Payload Exceedance

    I think in many ways, the bed is the weakest link. With that in mind, I put 4"x4" plates on top and bottom of my bed when I mounted my FWC. It has to help distribute the stress more, but by how much I have no idea. It's certainly better than a nut/washer combo. though.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Destructo doggie argues with Thermal Pack...and wins. :-(

    You might try tenacious tape as it's clear. Really sticky stuff too so be careful as it'll stick quickly. I used some on my down jacket and you can hardly see it (well, ok, you can but I like to think you can't).

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Is this 10' camper and F250 utility bed combo a OK deal?

    Man, I don't know. A lot of rust and a lot of things I'd be concerned about and would want to see in person. What are those wires hanging down, engine life on these were great but would want to check it out and it sure looks like a lot of camper for a F250. If you are a "fix it" person, might...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West When Should Reservations For Alaska Ferry Open For May 2019?

    Do they have a number you can call? I would suspect that they might be waiting to see about budgets, maint, etc.? Didn't they put a few of the ferries out of service a few years ago for maint?

    Interesting. A lot of wood in those campers and a lot of "kids" working on them... not that kids can't do the work it just seems strange to me.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West how to "winterize" but use regularly

    I have a similar problem/issue w/ my older Eagle. The spigout on the outside of the camper has a water tube that runs along the underside of the camper so it'll freeze in colder temps. I've thought about putting a "pool noodle" over it as insulation. Right now, we just drain everything and...

    As others stated Lolo Motorway is cool but sometimes not open until mid-late July. I've mtn biked it and heard it's a lot better than Magurder (for what that's worth but it's come from a lot of people). I agree with the other poster... N. Fork Clearwater is very cool and good fishing back...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Battery relocation good idea or bad?

    I think the 2 main things would be a) exposure to the elements and b) not much insulation so the battery would drain quicker in the cold.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Looking for camper Jacks

    Interesting. My post pretty much describes the dilemma I was in. I agree, don't get cable jacks. You might get lucky and find some. I even called the local RV places figuring there would be some "take offs". Nothing. Good luck!

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Looking for camper Jacks

    Search the forum. I posted a while back on my experience on trying to find used jacks. Turns out it's a lot easier (and cost effective) to just get new from ATC and/or FWC. Brackets cost a large percentage of the cost and they'll install them pretty inexpensively. If you just find jacks and...

    I would just watch this forum and others to find a better price point vehicle and truck, bank the savings and travel for a few years. It sounds like you have the desire to be "on your own" for a bit. You'll meet great people, etc. too.

    At some point in the past, someone posted pictures (or plans) for a home made ladder that hooked on the edge of the bed. It looked like a great idea.
