    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West New Panther is born

    I'll never forget picking my Ocelot up way back in the spring of .... ok April 25 of this year. I love it and plan to use it as regularly as possible. Really like the bright and open counters and the sink/ stove combo could be near perfect. I only cook lightweight or boil water inside,barring...

    Indian Valley reservoir from a day prior. Near the headwater river.While I don't take pictures of trash, there was so much of it spread through out these dispersed sites, I will never return. It's a mind boggle for sure

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West The All Terrain Campers photo thread

    This was a good road for my off highway inaugural run, a couple of small water crossings, plenty of washboard, airing down/up was mandatory for any kind of comfort. Still need to put a recovery kit together, in this case I traveled with a friend who has plenty. But he didn't sleep as...

    The closure was for a pretty good size hole, the barricade had been torn down and at least one vehicle had pushed through. Far more risk than I care to use.

    Very true , perhaps one of my favorite signs I've found. It was but a trickle,though the lake was flush and serene.

    The closure of M5 was unmarked at one entry, but why would it matter ? I have everything I need.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Outside window flap - anyone cut these off?!?!

    That's perfect, I have a pretty good idea and now we have storm flaps and shade awnings. Plus the best location for storing would be in place.. I am not sure ATC has a opening sewn in at the bottom, I don't remember seeing one. I still think it would be worth the effort to sew in a few loops for...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West How in the world to camp in the Midwest and avoid ticks?

    This is all great information and reinforces all I've learned about bugs with drinking straws on there face and a nose on there legs. About all I can add is to be aware of the poorly manufactured mostly unreliable applicators. The pump sprayers seem to always leak,aresol cans are better leak...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Favorite Battery Monitor System?

    I would like to upgrade both my battery monitor and solar charge controller. With 250 W of solar on top, keeping an eye on the system is enjoyable and important. Having both items work well together is also a big plus. I will also change out the automatic charge relay and from reading here I...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Question for those running airbags

    36 to 75 psi from R to L seems like a big variant. Airbags may stop lifting and just start to firm up at some point ? I am using Firestone airbags on an F150 4x4. I watched the weight closely as I added the 1075 lb ATC camper. A bit of a surprise for me was the split between front and rear...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Lesson Learned with Use of the TF-51 Truckfridge

    I am watching intently, I have tested my arb 51qt enough to give up. But I too conserve and fiddle about just for fun.. or is it more. I believe besides the vehicle, the fully functioning fridge is my most appreciated mechanical component.

    Thanks WS, Marty and I sat down for quite some time and went over most everything, I knew I wouldn't remember it all. Living in the drought for the last several years AND knowing the rain stops for months on end has me going soft. I don't mind the drill, but good to know ahead that storm flaps...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Extension Ladder Use

    I have the same question, I really like the collapsing ladders and they are as secure, or more so than most step type folding ladders. Thanks Rock.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Spotted leaving ATC HQ......

    I agree with your assessment, it seemed to me the solar wasn't as effective as I might believe it should be, I'll pick up a more refined controller in the near future. I'm going to be in coastal fog and the efficiency of the charge controller may be put to a test. The Iota inverter is great to...

    Ah ha, you got it Russ ,it is the acorn nuts on top of the bolts that hold the outside rear wall steps. Funny, I'm still a bit hesitant to ramble up them, but the long term uses outway my concerns, I climbed one side today, if you plan up AND down, not so bad. When I did get to the top step...
