Michael, One caveat to my offer to show you our Fleet. It is off the truck for a few weeks so we can use the truck for a house project. You can crawl inside the camper and look around but I do not want to raise the roof while it is off the truck. My guess is that someone in the metro area will...

Hi Michael, I am in Beaverton and would be happy to show you our FWC Fleet. My brother (who lives in NorCal) has an ATC so I can help you with some of the differences too. Feel free to PM me.

Thanks again for the replies. Wallowa - the materiel behind the skin appears to be wood. I was able to scrape away a little bit of it which appeared to be affected by water. It was solid just a little way inside the hole. The problem area is near the bottom the section that goes over the...

Thanks Paul - that search did return some hits about corrosion. Unfortunately, almost all of them were about screws, staples and rust. After thinking about this last night, I guess what I am after is how to patch and waterproof the aluminum skin once all the affected material behind it is...

Longhorn - the problem is on the side of the camper - just behind the driver's side door. And no, it does not look like the frame is involved - only the skin. I am hesitant though to dig deeper into the problem area without having some idea about what I am getting into. Hence the post to ask if...

Thanks David. I will try other search engines and I will get more of a close up posted tomorrow.

Thanks for the replies guys. I did try to search but came up with no hits - I will try again. For background, the Fleet is a 2013 model with the Silver Spur exterior option. Longhorn - I am not quite sure what the materiel behind the exterior skin is. Thanks again.

Hi all, Looking to the collective knowledge of this forum for some guidance about how to fix a problem that has surfaced on the cab-over section of our Fleet. We are not sure what caused the problem but we first noticed it earlier in the summer after storing the camper outside throughout last...

We always enjoy your Trip Reports Ski, you make even the simplest trips very interesting and enjoyable. Thanks for taking us along once again.

Hey Bob, Very cool to see that you have made your vision of relocating to the Southwest real and that you are settled in enough to get out and explore. We enjoyed this trip report and are looking forward to future editions. Cheers! john

Bill’s blog post does a really excellent job of capturing and presenting this amazing trip. My brother and I will be forever grateful to Bill and Bob for letting us tag along with them. Meeting and getting to know them made a great trip even better. As mentioned in Bill’s blog I was relegated...

I have not been keeping up with trip reports for awhile. Reading your report and seeing your pics Lighthawk, made me realize that I've been missing out on some good stuff. I was really taken with your sunrise shots in Part 4. Thanks for sharing your trip.

Another excellent trip report Ski. You and the Lady continue to inspire us to get out more frequently. I share your concern for the future of the places we visit. I have some optimism though because our son and most of his friends are much more into the environment than my friends and I were at...

Another terrific trip report Ski. The text and photos of your trips with the Lady really make the places you visit come alive for we readers. Thanks once again for taking the time to create such thorough and enjoyable reports.

Very nice photos of very nice places - thanks for sharing. Like longhorn1, the Canadian Rockies are high on our bucket list too.

Thanks for the kind comments everyone. Ski - I envy you and The Lady. Being in one of the big snow falls that occur at Lake Tahoe is magical. Looks like you have more on the way after this weekend. Missing Link - sorry we missed you - we did not get there until Wednesday afternoon. That...

My brother and I made our first trip to Death Valley in late February. A trip report is here. Thanks to all the people who have posted their reports about Death Valley - the information in them really helped us prepare for our trip. Cheers!

Thanks again to everyone who has replied. The database of knowledge from the members of this forum and your willingness to share it is amazing. Show time for us is less than day away - can't wait to get there and start building our own experience.

Thanks for the follow up note Bill. Yes, we are planning to go in via Beatty. It is helpful to know about the Titus Canyon road option if we can get that far. And we are definitely looking forward to spending multiple days boon docking in the park rather than just passing through. Thanks again -...

Bill and Ski, thanks for the replies - Silver Peak sounds interesting.

Hi all, Heading to Death Valley next week from Oregon. The Tonopah-Goldfield area looks like a good stop over area for the night before we go into the park but I can't seem to find any information about campgrounds (that are not the RV campgrounds) or dispersed camping off of 95 in that area...

Thanks Ski for another beautiful and informative trip report. After multiple minimal snow years, it is an interesting reminder to see how much snow falls in a 'normal' Tahoe winter. A similar story here in Oregon. Let's hope the snow keeps falling throughout the Western mountains. Happy skiing!

Thanks Ski for another stellar trip report. Your photos and text are beautiful and extremely informative. We are planning our first trip to DV in late February - your posts (plus the others on this forum) are like having a customized guide book. Thanks again - we really appreciate the work you...

Lighthawk, Your photos of the Sierra from the Alabama Hills and the Inyo's with clouds are exceptional. Thanks for sharing them and all of your trip with us.

Thanks for the responses. I expected that many WtW'ers were doing this already because it simply makes sense. Looks though that we should prepare for 3, not 2, weeks. The only issue I see with that is water but we do have multiple water filters from our backpacking days. Lots of work but at...
