Move Thermostat...??? Yep! I thought about it. But...didn't like the "propane drain" anyway,and, for a variety of other reasons I took the thing out, and made a storage locker out of the space. And, similar to Iqhiker, I use a small portable Coleman propane catalytic which does a good job of...

Beware Where The Thermostat Is Mounted. My older Keystone camper came with the heater built in, right at the very back end of the camper, and at floor level, by the door. The thermostat control was mounted to the cabinet wall just about 15 to 18 inches “directly” above the heater…? This...

Sealant For Exterior Fasteners and Penetrations. HERR42. Not sure who you are/were asking the question of, but...here's a thought. I have found through a good deal of first hand experience with my 20 year old camper that a GOOD quality exterior "Latex" sealant, in the typical tube, will work...

Stan@four Wheel Hello Stan. Thanks for your reply re: the "pop-up" top material. Yes, I am most definately interested in the new "tan" fabric top your have remaining in your shop. My camper is the early Keystone extended model that fit full size pickups. It measures 80 inches wide x 12 feet...

erod INTERIOR PHOTOS erod. Very nice, bright interior. The white cabinetry is a very nice touch in lightenening and brightening up the interior. Your girlfriend did a neat job! I'm curious as to what prep' she did to get the paint to take on the laminate/synthetic surfaces? Also, you...

With regard the rust and corrosion problems with latches and external hardware/screws that were being discussed a while back, I have just come across a product (from my home country down under as it turns out) put out by the STAUN Company. Same outfit that makes the Staun Tire deflators! Unlike...

Rusting Roof Latches And Fittings RUSTING ROOF CLAMPS AND FITTINGS There is one snag with putting any kind of Powder Coat, paint or plating on the roof clamps, and that is that there is hard metal to metal contact, especially where the hook and latch connect, that will probably eventually...

Sealing External Screws 5 Speed While/when you replace the exterior screws you might want to look at the the rest of the thread lenght as well. And if any part of the screw thread is showing signs of rusting/discoloration it means water is finding it's way into the threaded hole and past the...

Follow Up To Home Made Bug Screen Curtain. For some reason don't seem to have the option to "edit" my previous post about making the bug curtain. So I'll add this additional post. Just wanted to add this note (tip). If/when you purchase the flexible vinyl sheet it will probably come off a...

Home Made Bug Screen Curtain Here is a suggestion for a "home made" bug screen for the rear camper door. It has worked well for me over a good number of years. It won't stop 100% of those pesky flyin' critters, but...it's been effective enough that, day or night, we really haven't given bugs...

Love That Jack O Lantern On The Toyota. Hello kcowyo! Love that nightime shot of your rig! How old is your camper? I have about a twenty year old Keystone on my full size GMC 4x4. It still has the original Tan material the early campers were built with. In an earlier post of mine I tried to...

Particle Board and Marine Ply Hello Warpath. With regard to my earlier comments on "Marine-grade" plywood, I stand corrected on one important point. The "adhesives" used in Marine-grade ply and quality Exterior- grade construction plywood are the...same. And they are, of course, waterproof...

Plenty to Explore ??? Hello craig333 Well, it depends on where along Hwy395 you want to explore, and what kind of exploring you want to do? But...I'd venture to say that if you have a JEEP, tow it along with with you! There aren't a whole lot of flat land trails on the floor of the Owens...

Hello pvstoy. How long did you live down south here? So you have run the Silver Canyon road too...huh? Yep! It can be a mean one! I went "up" the road the first time I did it, that was "before" the locals told me that...wasn't a good idea! Ha! It can be a ...white-knuckler...either way!! I trust...

EdoHart and White Mountains EdoHart. Big Pine is my home turf! The White Mountains, Inyo's, Eastern Sierra's are all part of my great big back yard! There are a great number of great trails and places to explore out here. What size truck/camper rig do you have? And is it ..four wheel drive ...

Re:refrige' Question BenBurnett. Thank you for your time,reply, pic's regarding my refrigerator question. It looks like the original hole in my Keystone will accommodate the current 1.9 cu.ft. reefer' okay. The biggest job obviously would be installing the outer vents/doors. I'm thinking on...

Particle Board Sam. Some thoughts and observations regarding water damage to the cab-over bed board. I have an older camper, circa late 80's. My cab over board is particle board, gray primed inside, with some kind of white vinyl or plastic cladding on the outside that BenBurnett alluded to. I...

BenBurnett. I know this is going back aways. But by any chance do you know/recall what refrigerator was used in the very first KEYSTONE's? I know they've changed/improved and I'm sure you have upgraded since then so I wouldn't really expect to find one anyway. By any remote chance though are the...

Four Wheel Camper Frames Repair Hello Baja Camper. Yes, many years ago I had problems with the frame of my Keystone camper breaking. At the time we were travelling on many frame twisting/wracking off road trails. It took it's toll on the camper frame. And even to the extent it tore out the bed...

Okay! The light colored material I'm seeing is the artic pac liner...huh? Thanks for clearing that up. Benburnett ... Went to your website. Interesting to note that you are building what appears to be a camper similar to those built by FWC, is that right? Sounds as though you were once with FWC...

Well! ... I'll be? Yeah ...I guess they have re-introduced the Keystone? Carries a pretty hefty price tag now! I paid five grand for mine back late 1990. Although...I got to admit, that seemed like a chunk of change back then. They had discontinued building it at that time because when I called...

Hello! I'm a new member to the FOUR WHEEL Camper forum. I own about a 20 year old KEYSTONE model Four Wheel camper. The Keystone is an extended bed model (9' long) that Four Wheel first built back when they started up business in Colorado. It was discontinued many, many years ago. I do not...
