    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West diesel heater

    Now it's on my to-do list :) Just picked up this diesel heater based on some of the links above - thanks for the inspiration! Was thinking I could put it in the front box closest to the fuel tank in my currently-being-built SherpTek bed (more here). Want to still be able to easily remove the...

    This is definitely on my short list.

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

    Oh yeah, that's strange. Definitely nothing weird about it - actually a really cool, huge space in Eugene, OR.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Awning Recommendations

    I second this sentiment. The ease of use and sturdiness has far exceeded any other awning we have camped with (ours or others'). It's so simple and straightforward that my 9-yo son has that duty when we get to camp. He has the awning out and chairs setup before I'm even done popping the top...

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

    Cost is similar to Norweld, but I think it's a totally different product. The modularity of the product is what really steered me towards SherpTek instead of any other manufacturer. Between that and being a small American business who I can work with on any amount of customization needed, I...

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

    @rbrownmr2 - I don't know that I've seen one on a Tacoma yet, but there is certainly a market! I think you're right that having that usable space makes a smaller setup a lot more functional. I'm fortunate to have a massive truck so a lot of the finer details are a non-issue. I could put a...

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

    Thanks! Great ideas about being able to relocate things to the outside! It would be super cool to be able to see the water level and have easy access to that kind of stuff. Also being able to add a grey water jug would come in handy sometimes. This is why I like you guys - so many great...

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

    All very valid concerns. I've talked to them about many different options for "sealing" the storage area, but I think the most functional is to just individually seal the things that need to be sealed. That area doesn't really get wet or particularly dirty as is - maybe because of the camper...

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

    That is exactly how this started for me too. Fortunately, I came across these guys before going that route. Functional either way, but definitely looking forward to the better, refined fit.

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

    This is one of the primary reasons I went with SherpTek instead of any standard, off-the-shelf tray where you just get whatever they offer. I just got off a call with them regarding deck height and one of the options (at least for my truck) was a virtually stock deck height. There is a lot of...

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

    I am excited to announce that I got a big 'ol dent in the side of my truck. :D Yep, that's right, it gave me the excuse I needed to get what I've been eyeing for a long time now. I've been torn between scrapping it all and getting a new flatbed, but just couldn't justify it all...not now...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West 5th annual SoCal Four Wheel Camper Owners Rally Oct 28th-30th

    This is the first SoCal rally I'll miss since purchasing my FWC. I'll miss you guys. I'll make a special trip down to one sooner or later - if for no other reason than to bring the 'apple pie.' Have fun my friends! -CHRIS

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Rubber weather striping

    Had the same happen this summer when driving across Nevada. Just shoved it all back in place and kept driving - haven't had the problem since. As I was looking at it though, I thought a couple screws up front would have been a good idea.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Storage behind turnbuclke doors?

    I have the same setup and while I don't store anything back there, when we get to camp I'll throw a couple beers in there to keep 'em cold and ready to go! :)

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West FWC Price Increases Coming on Dec. 1st, 2016

    Thanks for the info Stan. This all makes good sense and is exactly in-line with FWC looking out for customers and evolving the product line. I think it's really smart to take a lot of the options that are a miserable (but popular) retro fit and make them standard. Having done a couple...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Trip planning - CA, North Rim, UT, OR

    Having just retired from the Marines, I am taking some time to explore a little more with my newfound time. I'm going to be taking the kids on a 3-week road trip that, if you plot it on a map, would make no sense at all. The plan is to figure it out as we go - adventure! So that being said...
