    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Truck bed padding question

    My local upholstery shop can cut any type of foam they have into any shape and size I want. I'll bet your's can do the same. Google "upholstery shop" with the name of your town/city.

    I'd take all that aluminium and make some wings, a fuselage and a tail, plus some control surfaces and a propeller.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Four Corners Planning

    I don't see that anyone has yet mentioned Navajo National Monument. On the way to Kayenta on Hwy 160, turn left onto Hwy 564, go 8-9 miles. Even if you're only there for an hour or two you can take a short walk on the Sandal Trail to view the Betatakin/Talastima cliff dwelling (1 mile round...

    Good on the doctor appointment. My insurance company, Auto Club of So Cal, sent me to a body shop that did the laser measurement thing on the rear end. The other guy's insurance paid for it.

    Yes, and go see a doctor as well. You just never know when an un-diagnosed injury will start to show up in physical limitations. Don't go hunting for cash, just take care of your body. Plus, have your frame rails checked too. Back when I had my old F-250, coming up to a stop light there was a...

    Maybe this place? Duck-Tec If that's it, it is also on sale at 15% off. I have the same one in my ATC Bobcat Shell. Plenty of heat, low, 1.8 amps/hour draw. Love it.

    In my previous interior build I had a sink and drain, no water tank and no faucet . The sink turned into a storage location and was removed on the current interior build (I like to change things up when the need arises). The drain to the sink was removed, however, I kept the drain to the...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Camping in NP campgrounds...

    Here's someplace that most people don't know about, right next door to Bryce. Try this, provided it is not covered in snow (best when it's late Spring, Summer and early Fall). Go west on Hwy 12 almost 3 miles from the Bryce Canyon entrance road where it meets Hwy 12. Look for the campground...

    I've used 1/2 birch, single sided, plywood in my ATC Bobcat shell on my old 2000, Ford Ranger XLT, 4.0L V-6, 4x4. I've not had any issues with the wood, formaldehyde wise, I didn't even ask at the lumber yard (about $30 a sheet). I do have problems with cigarette smoke and that has formaldehyde...

    April in Southern Utah is pretty nice, not many of the Summer crowd is there yet. The first half of May is better weather wise. Safety First. Just be weather wise and have some way to know what the forecast for the next several days is predicted to be. Not unusual to have snow and rain (gobs of...

    I suppose that you have already Googled "Utah Dinosaur Locations", and the lists that pop up are good. I've been to most of them and the Dinosaur National Monument is probably the best. You could stay there many days and not see it all, especially, if the weather is DRY and the dirt roads are...

Amazon for about $6, the belt loop, the metal clip and the velcro flap wear out, so, I just buy a couple at a time and replace the used one when needed. Oh, yeah, the hand...

    Shocks AND Rear Springs. I did the SD Truck Spring upgrade to 4/1 for $100 for my 2000 Ranger. Your 2007 would require a different 4/1 leaf spring pack at about $200. My 1st owner built ATC Bobcat shell interior made a total camper weight of 875 lbs, so, I didn't think I needed the Deaver...

    LoJack's one time price of $695 and no monthly fees is another alternative. My fridge, battery, solar panel and charge controller cost way more than that. Heck, even my propane tank, propane storage, SMEV stove and Atwood furnace, also cost way more than that. Different technology as it uses...
