Excellent, many thanks Mr. Dog.

"Being that I've never worked with wood" For someone who's never worked in wood you did a very good job on this project. Looks great and the layout is outstanding. Excellent report also.

pods, Just a quick thought on the door flex issue. Looking at your photos I'm guessing the flex you are seeing is coming from the floor at the door area. You might try weighting the door area and the cantilever equally and see how much deflection you get. If it is less then reinforcing the...

30 degrees this morning, 4" of snow over night and snowing very lightly. Just got in from shoveling the decks and snow blowing the driveway. October 6 is way too early for this to start.

Unfortunately they are already white around here. Way too early the first week in October, hoping for at least four more weeks of good weather. We still have lingering nightmares from last winter.

Sorry Marc but the last thing I want to see right now is more snow, so it's got to be hail.

Hey DD, where are you picking up the camper? Delivery or the long trip to Sac?

Ted, Bummer, it could have happened to any of us, you just happened to be there. Glad there was no damage as that would have added injury to insult.

Big congrats Ted.

Excellent reportski. Great read and pics.

We tried a 12 volt coffee maker once and once was enough to realize it was no good. Took forever to brew and pulled a days worth of juice off the battery. Lesson learned.

Nope, the L is the wife's first initial, so should be D&LN.

Hard to believe your camper hasn't sold yet. Price is good and I wouldn't go any lower if I was you. Ours sold in 2 hours on craigslist and the buyer drove up from So Cal. Good Luck.

Welcome aboard. Good question. Can't say I've ever read any of them, I just followed along and went with the flow. We're really a fairly easy group and when in doubt ask DD.

Unfortunately you can't use hose clamps on Pex, the tubing is just too hard. You can use slip connectors like sharkbite or seatech but you may have to change the connection to do so.

Roger, We don't own the camper anymore and unfortunately I didn't take any pics. I will look up the Dometic specs and see if I can get you link to the installation info.

The most important feature of propane fridges is the venting and baffling within the rear compartment. If you look up the manufacturer's specs for installation you'll find that nearly all RV builders install these units incorrectly. I rebuilt the compartment in our Eagle per specs and had much...

Barko, Interesting, to me forest rats are squirrels and chipmunks, rats with pretty tails.

First, welcome to the forum. Now, I wouldn't bother with a full bed and I'm not sure it would even work. We just added a 3" memory foam topper to the trailer bed (no FWC anymore but they still let me hang around here) and it is like night and day in comfort. When we had our Eagle we used a 2"...

So far they've stayed south and east of us and of west shore Tahoe, we can see the cloud build up, but no clouds or rain here.

Big congrats on the new camper Jay.

Overland, I don't have any need for the base as I don't have the FWC any more. My interest in the subject goes back to when I remodeled our Eagle couch into a dinette and solved the table problem by mounting the base on the side step, cut the pole down, and made the table a two sided drop leaf...

John, You are new here and as such you might want to turn down the volume a bit. While there has been some political debate going on in this thread it is not the norm on this forum and we generally stay away from it. My personal beliefs and opinions concerning the National/State Parks funding...

I really like that table mount, just about a perfect solution to a nagging problem. Great job.

agate, Unfortunately a standard hose clamp won't work on pex pipe, the pipe is much too rigid. I'd call FWC service and get their advice on the best approach to the repair.
