    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Building the New Ford Ranger

    OK, Steve. The guys at BDS Suspension did a 2019 Ranger X build for the SEMA show in Vegas and they added 10" to the frame. You could put on the utility box, like they did, or they can figure out how to fit the 6 foot regular bed on there. And, you don't have to have it all tricked out like...

    Steve, here you go. A Ranger Chassis Cab. Make it into a flat bed of your choice. (Saw that in the recent truck payload thread)

    W-S, you're probably not ordering for a couple of years, if ever, the way Ford is now going in their new direction.

    Sorry Steve, the 2019 Ranger with Crew Cab has a 5' bed, not a 6' bed. Build your 2019 Ranger the way you want it, just not a longer bed on the Crew Cab. Click between the Super Cab and the Crew Cab and you'll see you get more room in the bed or more room in the cab, but, not both. P.S. if...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Living With New Automotive Technology

    Thanks, however, according to my wife, I'm touching the door handle in the right spot to activate the locking function. I'm batting about 30% on this issue with the door handle. Maybe my hands don't have the right surface film on them or something. It makes no sense to me.

    And, I used to like Honda's. Well, I still like the older ones. 2018, CRV, multiple false positives with the TPMS. Spare tire was always OK. Started carrying a manual tire pressure gauge. And, then it failed completely with no low pressure message when we actually had a nail in the right rear...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Swing Arm for a Rear Dirt Bike Hitch

    Talk to a local welding shop near you. They will know the details of the swing away hinge that will be strong enough for your motorcycle. Make sure to tell them how much your MC weighs, along with the handlebar width for spacing away from the back of the vehicle, the length of the overall MC...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Alternate uses for jack brackets

    Thanks for the compliment. If you are referring to what I got in exchange for the fold down table... A big wad of cash. It was reasonably heavy, maybe 50 lbs. I wanted to learn how to weld stainless steel, my welder friend that had made all my custom designed sailboat hardware had offered to...

    I'll take photos on the next build, in a year or so. The original unit is somewhere in Canada now, a long way away from where I live. I know his first name, but, I have no contact information. We transferred ownership on a spur of the moment in a campground in Utah. Cash deal, all smiles, on all...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Alternate uses for jack brackets

    Have at it. I had some soft rubber/sponge material (almost like wet suit material) attached to the top edge of the table when stowed that compressed against the side of the camper. Enough compression that I had to press the table tight against the camper to push in the locking pin. I used a...

    Several years ago I asked my local marine, stainless steel, welder to teach me how to weld stainless steel. He did and I built this exterior driver's side fold down table. Folds flat against the camper and locks in the up position when traveling, and folds down when at camp. Had to always do...

    Ah, just saw an older model Hawk in the used camper section of the Gear Exchange on WTW, and noticed something I forgot to mention. Older campers don't fit the newer trucks, like yours, with out some modifications. Can be anything from building a platform in the truck bed to having to re-size...

    If it's doing it when you post a reply then my idea is down the drain, as no indexing has happened to a new post "as you are posting it" Back to the drawing board..

    Very random. Just happened to me when I went to look at your message, Craig. I think it's the indexer software. It seems to not be cycling through the indexing process often enough. This sometimes happens when a forum gets really BIG with lots of threads and the forum members are adding a lot...

    Don't forget to look for used and at new All Terrain Campers (ATC), too. Owners Marty & Jeff used to work at FWC, many years ago. Similar model ATC's when brand new, start at a lower price than FWC's, so, used or new, for the same money you could a slightly newer ATC one than you think you...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West I am starting to really dislike my camper solar

    Solve your issue before throwing money for another panel. Something is not right with your system. I have a 135 watt panel, Morningstar charge controller and a 100 amp Lifeline battery. I have only solar charging, no electrical connection to the truck in any way. I run a Truck Fridge (2...

    OK, Thanks. That seems to be one step up from an entry level device. Good buy. You're right, it's not at my local Costco..
