    Thank you so much for sharing! I really enjoy reading your drawings, if that is the correct term. I think I will read a couple each time I log on to the internet.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Steel plates for bed of 2005-2012 Toyota Tacoma

    I really like the composite bed on the Gen2 Tacoma, as it is super tough. But I would not consider having a camper mounted without the mounting plates that FWC makes. I guess if the camper was bolted through the floor to the frame that would be okay. But I would not feel comfortable with an eye...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Lower window winter coverings

    One thing that I'm concerned with is reflection into the cab while driving. I think that I'm going to look for something benign to face the Reflectix with. I did not find this a problem as the rear window of my truck is so heavily tinted. But having a dark non reflective facing would make the...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West 2003 Toyota with 2007 Eagle Shell

    Congratulations! Fun to read your report of picking up the camper, sounds like it went fairly smoothly. I also spent my first night in the camper at a rest stop. :) I wonder if the eye bolt locations on the camper changes based on the truck. I know that on the new campers the mounting...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West trip to moab what month

    What month is best april or may. There is a lifetime of things to do around Moab. Even some great skiing up in the LaSals just out of town. Go and explore. Late May can start to get hot, really hot for my northern blood. Early April can still be a little cold and ''rainy." Personally I like...

    I've ordered these p/n's: 8448K13 (30 Shore A) 9455K666 (Durometer Selector pack) 9109K62 (10 Shore A) 9109K62 (20 Shore A) I'll guess that I'll see them Weds/Thurs of this coming week. Wow Thom, thats great. I started looking at the selection of rubber and quickly got overwhelmed. That is one...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Lower window winter coverings

    Thanks for the idea How does it work for you? I see your windows are much different than mine and I am not sure they have the same amount of groove/lip as mine have. Does it look like it will stay put?

    Out in Canaan Valley West Virginia, along the Blackwater River. And at the put-in for the Upper Gauley River with Summersville Dam in the background. Beautiful camper Bob! Thanks for sharing the photos, any more to share? :)

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Lower window winter coverings

    There is a sheet rubber sold by McMaster (my favorite hardware store after Avenue Hardware) with a very low Durometer that exhibits extreme tackiness on smooth surfaces. My thought for our FJ60's rear windows was to sew some Reflectix into a cloth cover with a piece of this rubber at each corner...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Lower window winter coverings

    So you are just pressing it in the grooves and it stays put? Yup. I have one layer in the front (camper to cab) window, and two layers in the big part of the side window. I left the screened area open and have a small curtain for that part.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Yakima racks on the new seamless roof?

    I have full length tracks on my seamless roof, and I am very happy I have them. Having the ability to carry kayaks or canoes was very important to me.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Lower window winter coverings

    So I'm wondering if Velcro squares at the corners of the coverings would be sufficient to hold the Reflectix in place, or are there other/better ways to attach them to the window frames and seal out the cold conduction? Anyone know? Thanks. I cut my Reflectix to the size of the window frame...

    I also noticed in stealth mode, lights on inside, you can't see a hint of light while casing the outside at night. That is a really nice feature.

    I was thinking of doing the same, but dont really like the look either! Hum... Im sure we can come up with a solution... :D I actually kind of like the look of the Reflectix through the window, it keeps to the Tardis theme and adds some mystery to the casual observer.

    Those look really nice! I used Reflectix over my windows, it gives them an interesting look from the outside. :blink:

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West FWC HT option (Hard Side)

    I like the idea of easy living inside a hard top. But the increase in fuel economy and better clearance makes a pop up the right choice for me. If you were not concerned about the above, I can see the advantages to a hard sided camper. Some of my pop up thoughts are in this post, Pop-up and...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Nissan Frontier + Eagle, suspension woes (supersprings vs others)

    Wow, sounds like Super Spring gave you some great customer service. That is great to hear! If I remember correctly, they came out with a product that is similar to Timbrens. And it sounds like you will be getting a set of those, so you will be set to go. Post some photos when you get the...

    Sorry, I do not know anything about supersprings. But I did want to say that I really like my Timbrens, and they are totally maintance free. Thanks for the photos.

    Where do these wires come out? are they routed out onto the roof? If not where do they end? The terminal for the solar wires is located above the front roof lifting block. I have some photos in my build thread, shortly after I purchased the camper.

    Perhaps you can post photos of the Front-Dinette Finch(?) that was nearly complete! Most likely it was a Fleet.
