Hoping that my WTW brethren can offer some reviews/comments/opinions on the following: 1. Value for the money. 2. Suitability for a Hawk 3. Durability 4...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Roof Mounted Solar Panel Vs Honda Generator

    Check honda's site but either the EU1000i or EU2000i. The 1000 is less than 30lbs and may fit in the Porta Potti spot. I think the 2000 is the same size but heavier. A 1000 should cost about $900.

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West What paint?

    It's an 2007 so that should be the match, thanks for the info. Do you know if it comes in spray cans? I was really surprized what happened as I never had that much snow on it before.

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West What paint?

    Over the winter I had a Layer of Ice build up on the top of my Hawk and when I broke it up and got it removed the paint was stuck to the ice and peeled off. Any suggestions as to what paint I should use or anything I should do to the bare aluminium to prep it for paint?

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Platforms under your camper

    I needed to raise my Hawk in my truck because I have Fifthwheel hitch mounting rails in the bed of my truck. I got 2x6 and 2x12 pressure treated lumber and cut them to fit. It is kind of like a puzzle but it works very well. 2xlumber will not give you 2" but if you build a frame work and cover...

    Any step that goes into the reciever has got to be safer. I built my own that has two steps but have also just used my cooler at times, but prefer the stability of the reciever step. As for a shower cuttian I use the Outback Porta Privy. Works great, easy to set up and store, has an acess zipper...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Propane Leak Solved

    I have a tank valve that leaks if it is not completely open or completely closed and my local Ameragas told me there is no repair parts for the valve and a new tank was the only option.

    To run the Fan to the cooler side you could do it with a relay but DO NOT run the ran wire thru the thermostat as it will not handle the amperage and could cause big problems

    I really like the flatbed idea, I think I saw a picture of one on here once. It may not fit your budget but the storage posibilities and building the bed to the correct hight for your camper is something I have always thaught would be worth while.

    I have had a few incounters with snakes but not many, my dog has been snake trained and I also carry Benidril just in case. As for the road it is just hit and miss as far as weather, if the sun comes out the road will dry out pretty quickly. The area I travel to mostly it's better in the early...
