    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West CB Needed?

    We use CB a lot here in TX too when out with local groups. I recently had a planned trip with some people from out west. They recommended Ham. We actually used CB's too but Ham was good for when we went to different locations like the mountains. I merely got my Ham before I went. With all the...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Porta Potti. what model ?

    Gauge in Red? What model is this? I have grand kids that tent camp while out with us a lot. They use the potty in our Hawk... a lot ;) I would really like a gauge or something besides me sloshing it to see how full. We pull camp most nights and have access to unload but not always the case. I...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West tire deflator recommendations

    Yes, the ARB unit actually pulls the valve stem and air release is as fast or slow as you desire and is very accurate.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West FWC Hawk - new camper smell?

    Maybe call Stan out at FWC? I honestly do not remember the smell in mine. Are you able to store with top up and windows open? Maybe that's why mine dissipated quickly?

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Random FWC Photos

    Father's day here in TX was one hot weekend. Glad we had AC and stayed in a State park campground. I discovered the rear awning is not only helpful in rain but helps shade/cool too :)

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Turnbuckle Question

    I don't see mention of too tight? Maybe FWC can chime in? I see some of you use wrenches and such to tighten your turnbuckles. I've always just hand tightened and then one more light for turn with wrench for secure feeling. I use wrench on locknut. I feel that too much tension could pull loose...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Turnbuckle Question

    Now safety chain(s) is a good idea for that warm fuzzy feeling. I'm going to see if I have room :)

    Darn I was hoping it might be later :( I'm heading to Oregon for a meetup with friends in September. Wife is not yet retired so flying in and out of Portland while I drive. Would have liked to met up with some of you. I'm watching thread so I can maybe pickup places to stop before heading back...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Fuel Cans

    Hey Guys, I searched but don't see an answer. I am adding an Aluniness rear bumper with swing outs for Spare and a box. I don't think I will have room for Jerry Can(s) so was planning on RotoPax. I have unused rear steps and have seen how some mount the Rotopax there. I have emailed but no reply...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Turnbuckle Question

    Just a NOTE / WARNING as I lost a turnbuckle that came off. Luckily I found it next time I removed camper it had slid under edge. I was on trip when I discovered it was lost. I check a lot but this was an excessive washboard trip and it came loose and off. So I stopped at the next Ace Hardware...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Froli Sleep System - An initial review

    Happyjax, We have the side dinette and I do sleep in it sometimes. My wife likes to read at night and sometimes just easier for me to sleep down there. I actually carry a thermarest self inflating mattress in the truck. I just put it under me and it makes that a lot easier to sleep on and fits...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Dometic 65L power/current draw

    Jason, I apologize but mine is an 80 :( so I assume even more draw? I wonder if there is any resale value in it if I went with Isotherm? Challenge is our local FWC dealer has closed so no place close to do a switch :(

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Dometic 65L power/current draw

    Stalking Light... Charlie, I'd be interested in what fan and how you added. I have the 2015 Hawk with the Dometic 65. Luckily not usually a big issue but this past weekend it was. Unusual for Texas but we had 3 days of clouds and rain my batteries got way low. Luckily a fellow camper had a spare...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West F250 backup camer mod

    I was lucky and got a camera from a wreck at the local JY for $50 it had the harness too :) BUT mine (2009) was mounted in the tailgate handle and kind of aimed down. I need to see if I can make a more professional mount... wish your friend was in TX ;) :)

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West F250 backup camer mod

    Can't tell from pic... was your camera in the handle? I too bought an OEM camera and left mine alone in the stored away tailgate. I just have an ugly bent steel "Maguyverized" mount. It works but yours looks really clean / professional. If you used the handle camera I'd really like detailed...

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

    I have a superduty but have airbags just in case. I usually run 50 each on road and go down to 10 ea off road. I use them a lot to balance when parked and the wireless controller is a big plus. Heck I'm not even sure I can go to 75 as 60 is the most I've tried.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Froli Sleep System - An initial review

    I saw this setup in a Tiger. Looks nice and that owner gave it props. I wonder how / if it would work with an FWC Hawk? Is there enough space to lower top?
