    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West A Short Jaunt to New Mexico

    Country Song comes to mind... I wouldn't blame it on the booze, sounds like these folks were probably on the low end of the gene/manners sober. There is a song out now that describes these folks as Category 3 folks IMO... God is Great, Beer is Good, People are Crazy.... BTW... That is a...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West New Mex to the Artic, then back

    Maybe we should have a fwc get together at the Artc Circle:thumb: Here Here to that idea... I was planning on doing it on 2 wheels next June, but plans change, and now I plan on doing it on 4 wheels. That opens up the window of opportunity a bit, not so weather limited.

    I have the ultimate MPG solution getting installed in my truck this week..... a bigger fuel tank :D That's what I'm talking about.... What do we really care the most about - MPG or Range... With me it's range. Sure, if it's cheaper I'm not going to bitch about it, but the truck has a job to...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Yamaha Generator Owners or Former Owners...

    I'm getting ready to buy a 2kw porta gen. Obviously the Honda is a very popular choice. I've read and heard hundreds of comments regarding the Honda. I'm really looking for some hands on opinions of the Yamaha 2kw. Problems, Praise, whatever it may be.

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Your opinion on 4X2?

    I've been stuck so many times that I'd never consider not having 4wd. His original post said something like 14/18 mpg, and now he's getting 19/20 in "around town" driving. If 4x4 costs you 5mpg, while being significant, it's not prohibitive... I think the number that needs to be added to the...

    I considered buying one of these storage boxes (http://www.hayesequipment.com/hayes_products.htm) but the price was prohibitive. I was going to mount it to the back some how...but the noise and vibration would be too noticable. http://www.roadtrucker.com/feature-12-volt-microwave.htm Holy...

    Or what rig you have but a buddy of mine put on some Aluminess bumpers with a giant storage box. Worked well for his EU2000i. But pricey - you might be able to have someone fab one out of steel for a bit less... http://www.aluminess.com/trucks.htm This is precisely what I'd like to have...

    So I'm comfortably ensconced in my 'new to me'1995 Hawk. Slept in her last night on the first night of my 3 days of work week. I will need (well, I would like) power for a few things, and primary among them is a nuclear - er wrong forum - a microwave. For that I will need a genny. I, For all...

    Ok, That was a long drive... I can't thank Mike enough. I know this is where I should be inserting pictures... When I got there, I pulled out my camera only to find the memory card door ajar... That's right, I left the memory card plugged into my laptop back home. I had many great shots to...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Air Bag Question Again

    I know this is an old post, but on a previous truck/TC problem that i had, I solved all of my problems by adding in a very inexpensive solution... Some 3" bump stops from a company called Rocky Mountain Suspension. I had a dually, with airbags, and the TC was so heavy I'd still pitch and roll...

    Jeff, Give a shot of what you've got now... The mind can think better if it has a picture to deliberate over.

    Scott, I've got 2 parking situations that would be a problem parking with the tail-gate down - although I think I'd probably be "mostly ok". I know that extra 18" would be a big help inside (i know i know.... drum roll, "that's what she said"), but I'd just as soon stick to the Hawk. I did...

    Same old song and dance I heard time and time again last year, ron. I had an idea a year ago when I was looking, but due to the fact that I was fairly new here at WTW I held off asking. however..now that I KNOW WHAT GOOD FOLKS ARE HERE...I would have certainly broached the question/idea to...

    I'm pretty sure I was the first responder, but he sold it to somebody that showed up first. Can't blame him for that. Can curse him, and also hate him, but can't blame him.

    Mtn, Yeah, I've encountered the low number of used FWC on the market, and am probably just going to order one in the next few weeks. I will probably just go with the Hawk with no options, and go from there, but until I order one, I'll keep looking hard. I have a little software application...

    I sent an email to FWC, so we'll see what happens on that front - Heck yeah, if I can find a fairly new used Hawk, I'll pick it up forthwith... My credit union can float me some cash until the motorcycle sells. I've slept in the bed of the truck under the camper shell for the last couple...

    I'm new to the board, not new to TC's. I previously owned a ginormous AF, had her on a Dodger 3500 DRW. Spent about another $3k beefing up the suspension, and $4k on a Stable Lift system. Still was too much camper. Driving down the road on anything but a perfect day had me all over the road...
