    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Beginning my FWC search.

    The overhang on a Grandby could be ordered standard lenght and extended length. I think now extended lenght is all they offer. We have the extended lenght and if you count the dog up there as well, pushing 600 lbs. total. No issues whatsoever. As for the couch, we have the older style (not...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West new tail lights on an old FWC?

    Another idea is to make a flat plate of aluminum, that fits the opening and then use some LED lights (surface mount if there is not an opening behind the plate). Paint the plate to match the camper and you're good to go.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West First Annual San Diego FWC Drive-in

    I'm up for this in the fall (I assume you are talking the fall given the sub title Fall 2012).As I have found putting together a couple meet and greets on ExPo, pick a place and date and let it go from there. You won't make everyone happy nor everyone will be able to attend but if you end up...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Baja taking it's toll. Need some fixes.

    If I had to venture a guess, there are some welds that broke in the rear wall (under the skin) and is allowing the wall to "expand" and causing these issues.Being yours is a '94 model, it's likely got some miles on it and there has been reports of earlier ones having this weld breaking issue. I...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West CO Detector Going Off

    I just Google-d +CO2 +detector Most of the hits were for carbon monoxide, CO. The only hits for carbon dioxide i saw were for blood gas levels. I am "pretty sure" you have a carbon monoxide detector in your rig. I am also "pretty sure" they don't last forever like a smoke detector. Replace it...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West CO Detector Going Off

    Not a voltage issue with the battery because nothing is turned on/off with the door and the same thing happens when on shore power. Yesterday morning I opened the door while I loaded up some stuff and had turned on 12 system. No problems and and had it running for 24 hours (both with the door...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West CO Detector Going Off

    I am almost 100% sure it's CO. In my unit, both are side by side. I didn't know they had an experation date. This is likely a 2004 model, being the camper was built in '04. It's 8 years old, at least now. I know it does it wether I am hooked to shore power or 12 volt only. Like I said, the...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West CO Detector Going Off

    Hi everyone, So I keep having this problem with the CO detector in our Grandby. Whenever I turn on the 12 volt power switch and close the unit up, within a few minutes the alarm will go off. If I reset it and leave the door open for 20 minutes or so, it seems to work okay after that and doesn't...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Extended cab-over option?

    Having bought our 2004 Grandby last year, we were SO lucky to have found one that had the extended cab over and I can say it is definitely one of the best features we have. We leave it extended all the time as it only overs the front seat area that we don't use. It definitely gives us much more...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West What's under your camper?

    My bed was lined already but I was still getting some movement, even with the turnbuckles tight. Before my last trip, I added a rubber bed mat which cut down greatly on movement but on the last day of some high speed washboard trail, it shifted a little. I do think the bed mat helps to...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Replacing 3-way fridge with compressor fridge

    So far it is working great! Have had a few trips and zero issues. I have only had one trip where we stayed in one place for two nights. All the other trips have been moving each day. The last trip was on some rough trails and washboard roads. No issues. I did make a plastic divider on the...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Camper Shifting Issue

    Anchors are splayed out per factory specs. I used FWC info regarding placement of the eye bolts. They are angled fore and aft and as far to the outside of the bed as they can go.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Camper Shifting Issue

    Thanks for the replies. Glad I am not the only one with this issue. Thom - I'll have to remember that "4-40 road" phrase. That is exactly what I am talking about. I think some type of "rub rails" is likely the way to go but I might wait to do that when I switch over to a flat bed. Maybe for...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Camper Shifting Issue

    Like 45-50 mph. These are basically straight trails with a light washboard, where driving a little faster makes them disappear versus driving slow and feeling ever one. It's hard to explain. Heck, I get more bouncing on some of the local freeways.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Camper Shifting Issue

    So I am having an issue with my Grandby shifting in the bed. I am using lock nuts on the turnbuckles and they are tight. Before this last trip I added a rubber bed mat which really helped until the last day with some higher speed washboard roads. In each case, the back end on the driver side...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West A Reflectix Experiment

    Those who are having condensation issues, you have a vent over the bed area? If you do, do you leave it open at all? For us, we have only been out a few times but haven't noticed any issues but we do leave the vent open an 1" or 2. It also hasn't been colder than the low 50's to high 40's so...
