    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Modified kitchen cabinet

    Thanx Wow that's a great table idea! Thanx DirtyDog, it could have been even better with some previous measuring and planing. After seeing the results, I think in the future I would install the shelf and table under the sink higher and on the same level as the table over the water tank. This...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Modified kitchen cabinet

    Thanks to Thanksgiving I finally had time to work on my kitchen cabinet modification. I didn't like the way the original table was working in these campers. It's too heavy and takes up too much space in the camper. My solution is to integrate the table (or tables in my case) into the cabinet...

    Lazy mans dolly I got to admit that sometimes I tend to be lazy. My dolly was built in about 20 min out of a used / old pallet, some scrap 2 x 4s and 4 caster wheels. I won't win any beauty competition, but it works

    This is how the installation looks like Here are a few pics Ben installing my Bobcat. As he already mentioned before, if it wasn't for the bolts going through the bed the whole installation would have been done in about one hour.

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West New bed mechanism

    This is what I still have to do to this setup: - connect the backrest to the board with hinges - connect the backrest with a zipper to the seat cushions - change the regular piano hinges for spring loaded piano hinges like the ones from the roof mechanism This way I would only have to pull up...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West New bed mechanism

    Above are the pictures I took from my bed mods. The first pic is from the original setup, the rest are the modifications I did. This is still a prototype, but it works. One additional benefit I see is the increased storage space if you leave the bed setup. The space is almost doubled compared to...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West New bed mechanism

    It's not even two weeks ago that Ben installed my new Bobcat on my (really short bed) Tacoma, and I already had to take the bed apart. What I didn't like is two things: - the wasted space between the bed and the window - the space between the kitchen cabinet and bed is way to narrow to pass...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Why did you choose ATC over FWC

    The "can do" attitude I think ATC's (and Ben's) "can do" attitude does make a huge difference. It seems that nothing is impossible and he is willing to go the extra mile (or 3000 miles like his trip to Florida). Ben will honestly tell you if he thinks that your special requests are...

    I made it on the map Just found this thread with the map. Great idea! But it has it's disadvantages - I feel lonely so far south east! I guess I have to work on that. I'd be curious to see how far the meeting point would move to the east if you calculate my dot into the equation.

    How did you install it? We actually installed an engle fridge in one of our campers for a customer. It will fit in place of the 1.9 dometic and he claims it works fine for him. The one thing I would recommend if you do though is to buy the mounting kit with the fridge. Our customer did not and...

    why not bunk beds Hi Roberto, I'm more or less in the same situation as you, but smaller. My kids are 2 and 10 years.

    Hi mntlion, I had 3 of these trucks when I was living in Dominican Republic. I would say they are the definition of a tough truck. I used to drive across the island loaded with 2 55gal drums of oil, engine parts, transmissions, and other water sports equipment. After installing the air bags if...
