    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Pin-holes in vinyl on 2005 Eagle - best way to fix?

    Noticed 2 wear spots on the back corner of the vinyl (behind the lift panel so impossible to see from inside). Tiny pinholes, but I want to patch it before it gets worse and figure out how to not have that happen again. What's the best way to repair?!?! Thanks!

    The latches that hold the top of your camper down to the body of the camper. all on the outside. I'd also do a group buy!

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Broken latch...where to buy?

    So I just noticed that a latch is missing from my camper and I'm curious where to get more? I think I'm going to upgrade all of them since it seems that the hardware is cheap and is falling apart. Any help? Thanks!

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West New problem with my '05 Eagle - sheared off screws.

    This was a relatively easy fix. The screws were too corroded to back out and too small to effectively use an EZ-out. Just drilled them out and then put in new screws. The hardest part was the awning getting in the way of drilling one of the screws out and had to just go in at an angle and...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West New problem with my '05 Eagle - sheared off screws.

    Yeah...I think the owner before me ran into something that slightly bent the front of the camper...which I guess is causing the torque now. I'll loosen up the screw on the latch and then see if I can use an EZ out to get those screws out of there. Definitely finding out that much of the...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West New problem with my '05 Eagle - sheared off screws.

    So I seem to be having a ton of trouble with this camper now....maybe it's a lemon, who knows. Basically here's what's happening: the 2 front side latches have had 2 screws shear off. Both are deep enough that I can't get to them with a needle nose. Anyone experience this? What should I...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Best battery to buy?

    Looks like the battery that came with my used Eagle is losing some life. The panel keeps beeping and turning red so I think this is low life in the battery. Guess it's time to purchase a new one...so recommendations? Also curious about the best course of action for maintaining the battery...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Hand pump for water - froze, need help.

    Do you "winterize" your pump when you're not using it? I read about putting RV antifreeze in the tank and pumping it into the line...but is this mostly for the water pumps and not manual ones? I'm just worried about the lines bursting. Thanks!

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Hand pump for water - froze, need help.

    So we were driving back from Southern Utah today back to WY and over the course of the 9 hours the remaining water in the line and the hand pump itself froze. It's basically empty and before checking the hand pump I poured RV antifreeze first thing when we pulled in (it was 11F when we got...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Best helper springs for 2010 Tacoma w eagle

    Did a little research. I see that Hellwig made a specific 5 leaf spring pack for Tacomas with a FWC. How has this worked for people? it's the 1906 Spring Pack. Is this better than simply getting a helper spring?

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Best helper springs for 2010 Tacoma w eagle

    So I need to add some suspension to my truck. Have stock w timbrens now and it's riding rough and lower. Best cheap and sustainable combo? There's too much info to really get a firm grasp on what's best. I am off-road a lot right now and likely the camper will be mounted at least 3/4 time...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West 12v AC plugin not working-unsure how to trouble shoot

    The fuse is fine and we even bypassed the switch beside the outlet to see if the switch was bad. I just don't know how to get inside the counter to see where the wires actually go or if there is a better way to figure out what is happening. It worked a few days ago and the wire connecting the...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West 12v AC plugin not working-unsure how to trouble shoot

    The jack where you plug in was loose and after thinking I fixed it, it still didn't work. It had been working as well. How do you get into the small space above the icebox to see all of the wires and where they go without ripping apart the countertop? Everything else works off of the aux...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West 2005 Eagle water pump question

    Just bought a used Eagle and the water pump is touch and go. Last night it wouldn't pull the water and we messed with the hose and eventually it pumped the water and was fine the rest of the night. This AM we woke up and it wouldn't pump water again...this time I could see the water in the...

    Sadly I can't seem to find the E-rated Michelins that fit my Tacoma. Only the P-rated. Seems to be a hard size to get in E-rated tires. 265/70R16

    I know this topic has been covered to exhaustion, but I'm having trouble sifting through all the information. I originally wanted to get the BF Goodrich T/A KO2's for my truck, but upon talking a lot of places, they aren't available for my truck til October. I need tires in the next 2 weeks...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Custom mattress for a 2005 Eagle?

    Yeah, I know the new mattresses are fine...this is a 2005 however...and having looked at the camper last August, I know it's pretty flimsy.

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Custom mattress for a 2005 Eagle?

    So you do the 4" memory foam and have no problems putting the top back down? I guess that's my worry. I'm honestly just thinking of figuring out the dimensions of the cushions, how thick I can actually go with the mattress, then having them all cut to size, getting covers made and just...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Custom mattress for a 2005 Eagle?

    My wife and I have secured a 2005 Eagle that we will be picking up in May. The mattress is flimsy, however, and definitely not going to work for us to sleep on. What options are there for customizing a mattress for the Eagle? Currently we sleep on (in the back of my truck on a platform) a...
