    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Fall In

    Thanks, ski3pin. I appreciate it. Hope to see you get back home soon. Thanks for that, Paul! My wife and I got quite the chuckle out of visualizing us doing that. And continually nudging each other to claim more space from the other on the stairs. .

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Fall In

    Yeah, I think I'm gonna opt out of the wishing-for-rain thing in our area. We had 6.74 inches here on Wednesday. Two days later, roads are still blocked by flooding on two of the three ways out of here. Fortunately, we had no damage. It was interesting to get the emergency texts warning of...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West And So They Continue........................Fires

    As an outsider to western wildfires, I find Juan Browne's YouTube channel ("the blancolirio channel") very helpful. I'm impressed how he uses various maps and live cams to explain what's going on in a way I can understand without much background or local knowledge. Here's his latest on the...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Palomino SS-500

    I spoke to a Palomino Backpack Edition owner about a month ago. According to my log, we were at the Sinclair gas station in Kemmerer, Wyoming on July 17th. I had noticed he had a cargo strap around the cabover of his camper so I asked what that was about. He said he wasn't quite sure how it...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Screen Door Latch

    The photos aren't great for trying to find a match by scanning through photos of RV screen door latches on the web. But there are some odd shapes in BrianG's photos that suggest it's made by Challenger Doors as their model SDL3. Link I was unable to find any for sale. This Ebay seller was...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Sightings thread

    I’m not used to this. We just got into Jackson Hole and so far I’ve seen five Four Wheel Camper rigs, an XP Camper and both Kimbo and Scout hard-sides truck campers.

    Just saw a beauty of an Alaskan rig at Burntfork, Wyoming. Looked like a new Alaskan on a new white F350 dually with utility body. Roof AC. Fold down rear porch covering the lower half of the door in back. Idaho plates. Nice!

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Victron Orion Tr DC/DC 30A vs Battery Tender On Tundra Starter Battery

    I don't know the Orion but will just add that my DC-to-DC charger (a Ctek D250SA) does indeed charge my camper's (AGM) battery when I put my AC-to-DC charger on my Tundra's starter battery. My Hawk shell doesn't have the Iota DLS-30 or a shorepower connection. So I used to run an extension...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Porch light issue

    Take a look at these on Etrailer. Scroll down about halfway to the 180-degree paddle-style 'bulbs'. Etrailer 1156 LED bulbs page 1156 refers to the type of incandescent automotive bulb they replace. These (and the one we're trying to match) have a BA15S base (BA15S= bayonet-style...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West 2018 FWC Fleet wiring to truck battery

    I think of the following as the classic FWC setup for truck-to-camper wiring. There are arguments for doing things a bit differently but it's a good starting point as it shows what's-connected-to-what, wire colors, etc. ..... Link to post with Steps for Wiring a Truck pdf Note: At the time it...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Jack Brackets Detaching

    More on jack brackets.... This was my experience extracting the screws, stripping and refinishing the brackets and re-mounting them on my 01 Hawk in 2015. (Note: my brackets didn't have any sealant. That's how FWC did it at the time.) What screws for jack brackets? In 2010, Stan posted info...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Help tracing a non charging issue

    I see there's a troubleshooting section in the manual (page 12). Here's part of it.... (Click to enlarge) I see the charging light doesn't appear to be on in your photo so I wonder if you might have a microprocessor lockup. Looks like it's easy enough to reboot to find out. Edited to...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Front runner pro stainless table kit

    TBRA016 is the bracket kit used to hang the table under your cabover-- normally used to hang it under a Front Runner-brand roof rack. TBRA015 is the table TBRA017 is the combo-- table and bracket I once rented a truck/roof-top-tent rig with one of those. Very nice! And it didn't rattle. .

    Ah. Thanks for the clarification. I imagine you've seen some like the one in this post (and thus the question): '80s used Four Wheel Camper Fleet pop up camper SOLD All I can add is I know FWC used to have an 'extended cabover option' and I assume you're seeing some with the option, some...

    Could you re-phrase the question? I don't quite see what you're asking. (Perhaps because I'm unfamiliar with the term 'halo' in this context)

    Also- Here's an older (2007) video showing how to replace a bulb in the classic RV 'porch light' (also known, apparently, as a 'patio light'). RV Light Bulb Replacement (the squeeze happens around the 40 second mark) Note how the three tabs on the lens fit into the three slots in the fixture...

    On Thursday I saw a beautiful FWC rig on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge (Annapolis, Maryland area). It was coming at me from the opposite direction and we were in heavy traffic so I didn't see much. Truck and flatbed camper appeared to be color-matched in kind of a dark bronze color and looked...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West 2017 - about ready to throw the heater in the garbage.

    Good to see you've made some progress, Adventurebound. That's certainly a new one. What would you think of using a high-temp red RTV silicone (like this Permatex one) to seal those gaps? Also- I was just doing some searches for the 31389 field repair kit mentioned in the Service Bulletin I...
