    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Soon To Order

    Rancho 9000's are a fine decision. I had them on a previous rig and they were very good. I've noticed over the past 3 months of having the Hawk on my truck my suspension is now too soft/squishy, so I'm getting ready to order a set for my current ride. I have my original shocks on now, and...

    Don't think these are what you're looking for but... I've got these: http://www.amp-research.com/products/truck_accessories/powerstep.asp #&%@$ expensive but really nice. They came with my truck when I bought it used. Same as the Bestops Can't tell they are there when up so you you don't get...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West 2007 Ford E-Series Van Sportsmobile (Diesel)

    Yeah, that's a steep "buy it now" price - it doesn't look like it has much of an interior conversion - or at least the detail and pictures don't show it. The SMB out in Orange County that's been listed for many months at $80k has a full interior conversion. I guess for the $30k less that this...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Covenant Violation - I Am Not Believing This!

    Sell low and buy high is my middle name... Truthfully, what I'd like to do is buy a "personal warehouse". Basically it's storage units gone condo. That might be what I end up doing with the next residence - buy a condo to live in, and a condo for storage of motorcycles, jet ski's, campers...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Covenant Violation - I Am Not Believing This!

    Thanks for the info Kyle, I'd like to say next time I'll skip the HOA/Covenant situation too, but I'm not sure I'll be able to find a place that both my wife and I like that DOESN'T have one. I do know this - the next house will have at minimum, a 4 car garage with at least 1 with a high entry...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Expected Mileage?

    Mac, I have a 2004 Dodge 2500 Hemi. I had it for about 20,000 miles before getting my Hawk. My trip computer usually ran at 15.1 mpg. This is mostly highway, but before I get to the highway, I go through 22 stoplights. So it's a fair mix I guess. Anyway, since I added the Hawk a few months...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Covenant Violation - I Am Not Believing This!

    BTW... I had an hour with my attorney today... She thinks it is a winner. She pointed out several points where we can win, and if not on any individual point, the cumulative effect will make it a winner. Her point being - before it gets expensive - show up with both the attorney, as well as a...

    Kyle, I'd love to hear how you won with your HOA. I had a conference with an attorney today, and we have a game plan, but I'd like to hear what you did.... Thanks

    Hey Ron Just a friendly reminder for you to remember to take the neon PINK and GREEN paint chips for the new house colors with you to the Purty Police hearing about the "RV". My neighborhood is also goverend by a list of covenants....one of which prohibits the parking of RV's anywhere in the...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Covenant Violation - I Am Not Believing This!

    Well, a little digging shows me why I'd lose a hearing... 1980 Manufactured Housing Act defines the following... 18010. "Recreational vehicle" means both of the following: (a) A motor home, travel trailer, truck camper, or camping trailer, with or without motive power, designed for human...

    Yeah, I don't have an RV plate - I'll use that in my argument. A pickup with a topper CAN be parked in the driveway according to covenant.

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Electric Brake Controller

    I bought mine at Camper World. Probably paid too much. But anyway, I just researched on RV.Net, went with a recommended one there, and hooked it up myself in very short order. Maybe 20 minutes. Didn't take any special tools, or knowledge.

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Covenant Violation - I Am Not Believing This!

    I just received a covenant violation from my HOA. In reading the covenants - I don't think I'm in violation, which is specifically why I wanted a Hawk versus a Grandby - meaning the Grandby would possibly hang out over the sidewalk at the end of my driveway. With the Hawk, I'm completely on my...

    Daughter's puter is running strong on the fresh install. She's been at camp for the last 2 weeks, so I've been using it to make sure there were no problems - getting all of the patches up to date, etc. It's a super nice puter - little Sony Vaio VGN T350P - super compact, yet powerful. Anyway...

    Maybe just post it on shutterfly or some hosting place and link to it? That's how I try to do it - that way I can always find pictures without wondering what the heck I did with them.

    Jay, you could easily get $8500. On another front... I put in a bid on that fleet model over on Ebay, about 4 days ago I guess, and currently the highest bid is only at $2025. The auction has about 4 days left, so perhaps some people are watching for the last day, but I'd expect it to be up...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West General Questions About Fwc

    Something like the Hallmark Milner has a crank assist roof lift, or even an electric lift (unless I'm confusing my campers), which allows you to put a roof top RV AC unit up there. I think that camper, while heavier than the Hawk, would still allow you to use your current truck.

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Four Wheel Drive "Failure"

    I had an 03 Dodge and an 04 GMC with the electronic selector - was never comfortable with it. My Dad's F150 got stuck in 4-low a couple of different times. PITA. That was one of the things that made me want my current steed - the manual selector. A few less fail points. Driving a Dodge, I...

    Red, Welcome to the board. I'm in Parker, and have been loving my FWC for a couple of months now. Any plans on doing the Colorado Rally coming up in about 5 weeks? Also... I think Jay's kids have been playing on his computer - about 5 days ago he said he was going on a 2 week vacation and...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Airbags Or Overleaf Springs

    I've had the bags - ride rite's - and they were fine, but my experience says to use overload spring with longer bump stops (rocky mountain suspension). Cheaper, and less fail possibility. Also, Rancho 9000's...

    That settles it. Rich, I like to solve problems. I'll let you have my 1995 Hawk - perfect for your T-100 - and I'll slide the 05 Grandby in my Dodge 2500. Glad I could be of assistance. Ron

    Yeah Yeah - I don't know what I was thinking with "left"... I guess I meant the military left, or the metric left. Not sure why Jay's isn't working though... Anybody have "GoToMeeting" account access?
