    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West 83 Fleet Rebuild

    Ton of options in getting this done. I’ll give you the overkill and things to consider: Decide if you want to drop the entire plywood base (floor and the wings above the bed rails). If you do that, might as well consider other possible mods: Floor widening Basement Consider interior storage...

    Interior Walls and Lifts done with panel plywood 1/4"... Costco for the flooring. Lift Panel Note- It has been written up already that if you choose to use the original lift hinges, you should stick w/same thickness wood/material as original panels. That continues to be true. For...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Best place to buy D or E load range tires

    American Tire Depot had the best deals on Toyo's here in San Diego. Got pricing from all of the main players and these guys were about $300 cheaper.... They also were running a promo for legoland tickets worth a few hundred $ as well. Overall, pretty good deal on Toyo's.... Not sure if they...

    Started a new project back in June and figured I'd post a few shots. I believe it's a 1983 Fleet and had been mostly gutted,.... A bonus for my use (MTB and long bulky stuff). Photos to follow....
