    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Dometic furnace reliability

    Check out the Facebook FWC Group Page (join it!) -- LOTS of discussions & ideas. Stan with FWC has a major fix-it post as does KP Pawley. Most of the problems seem to stem from the sail switch, weak batteries, and/or the ducting which can be removed. I haven't seen much regarding the circuit...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West 2020 Power Wagon Build

    2018 is OK, unfortunately the 2019+ (I have 2020) changed the configuration & they said my current one won't work. I'm ordering an Expedition One bumper with swing arms, and can use the Aluminess box on one of the arms.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West 2020 Power Wagon Build

    I've just purchased a 2020 PW & will be loading my 2015 Hawk on it. My current setup is a 2016 Diesel Ram with an Aluminess bumper with tire carrier and cabinet (same cabinet as yours). I'm on the verge of ordering the Exp One bump since my Aluminess will not fit on the 19+ Rams & there are no...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West New Battery

    Exactly the reasons I'm going Battleborn when my 2015s die. Plus, I can add a second later without unbalancing new/old combo unlike Agms. With one lithium I'll have more usable than 2 heavy Agms.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West BUILD: New Flatbed for standard FWC

    Looking forward to this one, Chris. I've had this idea in the back of my head for some for the same reasons! I've been thinking tray & boxes. Didn't know about this outfit. Lots of pics, please :-) Nice you'd an "excuse" lol.

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

    I should have said a mishap with the batteries bouncing up on a rough road, hitting the trimetric controller & bending the input connection led me to change! It still worked & I carefully bent it back into place, but I didn't trust it so decided to replace it with a new trimetric. At the same...

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

    So, I've been following this thread with a lot of interest. Due to what I've been reading about the Victron controller & monitor, I switched from the Trimetic, which I liked, but like the Victron a lot more - MPPT controller & Bluetooth monitoring lets me monitor while driving. Everything is...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West 2000 Eagle rain issues

    Do you have the jalousie style windows (slatted pieces of glass that crank open) on the side? These can be cracked open a bit & rain won't come in, especially if you have a canopy on that side. Combine that with the turnbuckle doors and/or sliding front window (if you have it) as norcalhusky...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West 30# or #40 Roof Thingies ?

    40, no question! You'll be glad if you ever add solar or anything else. Piece of cake if nothing on the roof.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Fan options?

    The Fantatic MaxxFan works great. I replaced my stock Fantastic fan (2015 Hawk) with this (same screw holes). Way better and built in rain guard & can travel with it open. Pulls a ton of air. Can even circulate air like a ceiling fan with the vent closed. No weight issue & no leaking if...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Sourcing LED interior bulbs thread?

    Replacing the bulbs in my 2015 Hawk Shell was one of the first things I did. No brainer. Here's what I ordered on Amazon - but check the base type needed on yours. I absolutely hate the cold led lights mostly available. These warm whites are very pleasing and incandescent-like in color...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Automatic Charge Relay - How to Improve your battery isolator

    I just did the same as Stalking Light (thanks to all who shared about switching out the units!) & it finally charges off the alternator correctly. Love the bonus of charging the truck battery with my solar. Sent from my SM-G900V using Wander The West mobile app

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Are there level assists on the Fleet? what tools do you use?

    I bought level bubbles but never installed them. I just "eyeball" - good enough. I just make sure my head is uphill just slightly and the front to back is reasonable. Works for us.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Sheets used on FWC campers?

    Like Lighthawk, we use the full size mattress non-pullout (it's actually 5"-6" narrower than a full-size mattress). We started off with regular full-size fitted sheets and secured with sheet straps underneath to keep them tighter since the mattress is only 4" thick with an added 1-1/2" memory...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West WTW Member's Truck & Camper Stolen

    I added this to my rig shortly after reading about Hadley. I researched a number of options, and this seemed to be the best. Better to try to prevent theft in the first place rather than track after the fact.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Thermostat warm-up

    I just replaced the WR thermostat with this Honeywell. It is MUCH better. I had the same issue of it not registering the correct temp (didn't know about the reset, but that sounds like a hassle). Now it's within a couple of degrees of my indoor/outdoor gauge. The other thing I like about it...
