    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West 2009 4Wheel Camper Finch for sale San Diego SOLD

    Reluctantly selling my 2009 Finch pop up. I am the original owner and have taken very good care of my camper. I had it on my 2008 Tacoma but recently put it on my 2015 Tundra(I made a custom box for it to sit on). The Finch model is a few inches shorter in length than the Eagle. I went with the...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Fleet/Tacoma TRD Offroad

    The 4 leaf rear with 5100's is a great start. All you need is airbags for the rear to handle the sag you will get with the weight of the camper. I've had this set up since 2009 and have not had any issues. If you are going to off-road it hard or often, you might have to upgrade the rear shocks...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Need help/ideas with building a modification

    I currently own a 2009 4WC Finch model. I have it on my 2008 Tacoma. I am in the market to buy a 2015 Tundra and I want to keep my camper for the new truck. The problem I will encounter is the height of the Tundra bed is at least 4-6" higher than my current truck. Which means I need to build a...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Which rear shocks for Tundra?

    I've gone through 2 sets of Bilsteins. I probably run em hard but the one good thing I can say about them is they have a lifetime warranty. I finally read the small print which said something like "not intended for off-road use". I have since been using the FOX Shocks with remote reservoirs...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West 2002 Toyota Tacoma + Finch FWC. What rear springs?

    I've been running RideRite airbags on my 08 Taco since putting the Finch on my truck in 2009. I also had the Toyota 4 leaf TSB added to the truck. I have never had a single problem with this set up since installation. The install was easy if you have a basic set of tools, a floor jack, some...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Anyone tried the Torklift Derringer Fast Guns on their 4WC?

    Well, they didn't work on my Finch. There wasn't enough room to pull the handle down. Im bummed, so Im back to the shoulder dislocating yoga contortionist turnbuckles... Anyway, I think they will work for someone that has a full size truck and camper. I'll let them go for $80 plus shipping...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West only 3 tie downs?

    I see you already had it repaired and "Hittheroad" had a great temporary fix if your in a bind. Assuming you have the ability to do the work it is very easy to fix yourself. The hardest part is taking the camper off your truck. Once you do that, go to the hardware store and buy a Grade 8 bolt...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West External or Internal mounted gas struts (roof lifter thingies)?

    I personally think they look kinda cheap on the outside and they will weather and rust over time. I installed mine on the inside. No problems after 5 years. I like em, clean and easy to lift...and by the way, they take about 1-2 seconds to detach. Just take a small screwdriver(or butter knife)...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Anyone tried the Torklift Derringer Fast Guns on their 4WC?

    I ended up buying the Torklift Derringer Fast Guns to replace the turnbuckles on my Finch. Im hoping there is enough room to make this possible. I might have to turn the eye bolts (that are on the camper) to get the right angle for the guns to work. I was hoping that someone has done this and...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Installing camper techniques

    If you have a flat garage or storage area you could always bolt (or weld) caster wheels to the bottom of your jacks and maneuver your camper onto your truck. It also helps to roll the camper into a nice tight corner of the garage when not in use. On my Finch, I have a 1/2" on both sides of my...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West How 'Dust Proof' are FWC

    From what Ive seen and heard, the AUS outback and our Baja have very similar landscapes and terrain. I take my rig down through baja many times a year and have had it through the notorious baja moon dust sections (too many times for my liking). I have noticed that dust gets in the camper through...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Sliding Drawer Mod

    I did the same mod but I had the weight of the pots and pans always pushing the door open. I found a twisting lock at WestMarine that was made for boat cabinets. It hasnt failed so far... Now if I can only find a SECURE way to keep the fridge closed other than velcro. Nothing like pulling up to...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Most secure - truck cab or camper?

    I bought a product called Consul Vault. It replaces the factory center consul and cannot be seen from the outside(or inside) due to the armrest. Once you lift the armrest you have to either use a key or a 3 digit code. Its made of a strong steel that would take a lot of work to remove. It...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Suspension Question

    Got Ride Rites on my Tacoma with 4 leaf suspension. 40,000 miles later(and close to 1,000 miles of baja dirt roads), they are still holding air. I just adjust them according to the load. With no camper on the back, I bring em down to 10psi to let it ride on my "Tundra" Bilsteins. With my camper...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Propane detector going off

    Well, heres a stab in the dark...when you charge batteries, they release a gas(hydrogen sulfide I believe) that is heavier than air(sinks), and has a very distinct smell. Is it possible you are overcharging your batteries and releasing this gas into your camper? The C02 detecter my confuse HS as...

    I have the Costco mattress topper that you mention. I've been rolling it up and leaving it on the couch 'till I reach my destination... Kind of a pain. I assume you had to cut them down to fit in the stock covers. How did you cut them? Do you need two to get the fit right? No problems latching...
