My canvas is in bad shape. I would like to patch it rather than replace it. Ben, here are the pictures of the damage. I hope I can repair this from home. Looks like the previous owner taped the broken seams where the canvas was originally sown. The bad part is that its ripping on the edge...

I think with all the research I have done, we are going to go with the Dometic rm2193. It has the smallest depth, it's available in the U.S. and is a 3 way fridge. So, we are going to build the refridgerator space out. Have you noticed that Aussies have the best camping gear.

Hi Ben, I will get you pics of the canvas soon. Our camper was obviously neglected by the old owners. It is well on it's way to becoming a workable rig though. We would love to get some of that canvas to patch our problem. Let us know if you want anything for it. I appreciate it. Found...

Thanks for your posts. We did use a little epoxy, I don't know the difference. Messy stuff though. If the wood filler fails then yes we will use that resin or fiberglass as a last resort. We are hoping once we put a new floor over the old floor everything will be good. Any bets on how our...

We do not have a furnace but I'm sure that information will be useful to someone else. Thank you!

Dorian mostly used wood filler to fill the holes of rotting wood on the bottom of our floorpack. I water sealed a new floor for the 4wc. We are going to liquid nail and dry wall screw it over the existing floor. You know I will have pix. haha

The holes of rotted wood on the bottom of the floor pack are severe. We had our work cut out for us.

We liquid nailed the floor pack and screwed in dry wall screws just like Marty suggested in El Grande Rojo goes to Panama post. Wood Puttied around the steps of the floor pack. We will paint to seal the wood in the end.

extending the space I think we are going to extend the space for the refridgerator out 4 inches. We don't think taking up the extra 4 inches will be a problem. We do however think having a fridge without propane would be. Please continue to give us your advice. We are not dead set on this...

What kind of water pump would you recommend using for our trip to Panama???? We are consideing a sureflo Classic 2088. What do you use?? I am also considering a Amtek Water Filter from Culligan For dishes, shower. Not necessary for drinking. ?? I still need to do my research.

I want to purchase a fridge but I am having a difficult time finding the one I want. I was going to get a 3 way fridge but the smallest one I could find (Dometic) would stick out, and I heard that the back of the fridge needs space to breath so it couldn't be flush with the wall. I am now...

Dorian and I are planning on installing to batteries. An Inverter/Converter for AC current. A Kipor 1000ti generator and a propane tank. We will let you know how it all works out.

Thank you Thank you for all your advice. Dorian has been repairing the floor pack. He will explain what happened later. We will send before and after pictures also. Your knowledge on the subject is very helpful to us Marty, again Thanks.

Thank you Marty I will make sure Dorian reads this. You seam to know everything about 4wc's. Thank you everyone for your input. I'm sure we will have more questions and ideas shortly. We are really enjoying this site. Thanks Jay for your advice, we have never driven through Mexico or...

This is Angelina's husband here, Dorian. Thanks for all the great advice. Our camper is connected to the step part of the floorpack. There is a gap running down the side of the camper where you described. It is showing signs of wear and tear due to oscillation while driving. Also, the steal...

This is an Awesome Trip. Thank you for sharing!!

thanks. We will probably go that way. I corrected my previous post so people don't get confused. Of course I meant Mazatlan. hahaha So Jay tell me about your drive to Mainland Mexico?? Out of site out of mind??? Pay offs????

Yeah, New Trucks are ugly too. Not to mention the wimpy bed sizes. I wish they made them like they used to also. Thats why i have a 1992 Ford f250 that we are kinda restoring. Doesnt have all the bells and whistles like the new trucks but I don't think life should be that easy anyway. I...

Marty, The camper is currently hooked into the sides of the truck bed with turn buckles. Do I still need to screw the camper floor down??? If so, can you tell me step by step how to do this. I am not very good with thist stuff and will need my husbands help on this one. Please in detail...

Hi, A preview of what our camper is going to look like. My husband and I havent ironed out the details of our trip yet. We do know we are going from San Diego through Baja taking a ferry to ensenada. We are going up to Sinaloa and back down. After that, we are heading south along the...
