KC... I will make sure that I have my own seat anytime we are hanging out around a campfire. I hate to begrudge you a smile and giggle.. but I know you will get over it.

Heater? Yep... one feature that we are BOTH enjoying! I think getting to middle-aged status after close to 50 years of sleeping on the ground with the only heat being feathers wrapped around you... a heater, running water, hot water, a stove bigger than a smalll saucepan and something to sleep...

Thanks to all the great folk on this website... most especially "The Fisherman"! Without his input our dreams would not have been realized. His idea of a wooden Porta Potti on wheels hit home with us. We liked it so much that we built one on a trailer that we will tow behind the truck. After...

Just a quick report on the events of last weekend. As you can tell by our only photo.. the skies are beautiful blue, the air crisp and the coast.. gorgeous! The reality.. it poured all night. We could tell by the drum on the aluminum roof. The sun came out for let say.. 8 minutes. Long...

Ok... so now that I have the shower enclosure situation dialed in. Thanks to all who offered their input. I am in hopes that this group can steer me in the right direction of the proper Porta Potti! Having come from activities that did not include a "traveling toilet".. it would be nice to...

So where on the "Lost Coast" is the Hog Festivities taking place? Just need to figure out time and miles to make sure we can pull it off! We are leaving for a short one week vacation the Friday after and we want to do both. So let me know where we will be headed to and then I can give "No BS"...

Great to have you in the group! Also thanks for the tip about your shower setup. I posted a "Shower Enclosure" question on the forum earlier in the week and with your post and the others I now have a quite a few options. Your idea would sure be nice on a cold yukky day. Would definitely beat...

Welcome to the group! You picked a pretty great place to hang out. In regards to your questions... I couldn't be of much help as I just joined this group a couple of weeks ago and it was only yesterday that I finally figured out how to undo the latches that hold the top down! But thanks to...

Dirty Dog.... If you rode up to Hat Point on a Mtn. Bike and thought it was only brutal... rest assured that we WON'T be riding together anytime soon.. as you would squash me like a bug! I would have to say that it was just short of of a death march which had me in the pain locker the whole...

I will just bet that someone on this forum has a great suggestion for our FWC outside shower in regards to a little privacy. Now if I was like Kcowyo's friends with the Jeep.. I would just get "Nekkid" and stand on the hood of our truck (would not want my feet to get muddy), let her rip and...

I have wandered about eastern Oregon a pretty fair amount over the years. Lots of great "No Crowds" kinda places. If you want a great view of Hells Canyon... go to Imnaha and take drive up to Hat Point. If my memory serves me correct the road to the top from the bottom is 22 miles of winding...

Ted... You looking for me? I here until the Apple TV finishes downloading the movie we are going to watch tonight. I think it is the story of Euell Gibbons.

We make our own sun! In the morning a freshly prepared glass of wheat grass with a couple nice shots of Jaegermeister. You would be totally surprised as to WHO you could talk to in the morning sun! Living in the Pacific Northwet... one has to be on the lookout for anything to help the...

A meeting with the Board of Directors in reference to our case should not be necessary. My wife and I had our morning glass of fresh wheat grass, sat on our hemp mats cross-legged, faced each other, held hands and chanted in the morning sun. We were enlightened through meditation to find out...

Last weekend in April is good for us. Two people and a Dodge. Ooops.. I just realized we can't come. I have like 6 posts and even though I can talk a lot, write a lot and BS a lot.. I will never get another 94 in by the last weekend in April. If I promise to come and be quiet and not...

Thanks all for the welcome to the group. I will keep my fingers crossed that over time I get a chance to sit down and say hello to everybody! KC... I want you to know that you are the reason I finally decided on this camper adventure. I was wandering the Internet late one night.. sort of...

Great stuff.. a vintage Grandby! It will be great to see what and how you make the improvements. So keep us posted.

Dang... It looks like I now have MORE than enough info to avoid bugs and discomfort! Sometimes I think my brain is going.. I should have surfed a bit and would have saved the responders fingers from future carpal tunnel by answering my plea. Well it is much appreciated and since we actually...

Since we are new to this game... thought it would be appropriate to get the info from the folks who have been at it awhile. Need to sanitize our water system. Any suggestions from the legions of FWC owners? I know it is not rocket science.. but I sure would like to avoid being on an...

Craig333... The Svea is the only thing that I will probably keep. Bought it around 1973, rebuilt it more than a few times and believe it or not it still works! Of course I was taught the secret handshake many moons ago at the birthplace for all Sveas... which I would guess is the reason for...

Thanks for votes of approval! I think all of you have great taste as well... must run in the family. Hey Davinski... since you queried as to our front bumpers place of origin... it was custom made by Layne at Denver Off-Road. It is aluminum and actually weighs not much more than the stock...

Hello to all! I have been one of those kinda folks that read the posts.. do a little digesting of the info and then quietly slink away. Well not so anymore. My wife and I were very committed to getting either a new FWC Hawk or an ATC Panther. Due to dollars becoming a little short as of...
