    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Question for Canadian FWC owners

    we were living in Nort Vancouver, and bought a used fleet in WA. We had no issues with the propane bringing it back into BC. We had also looked into the "Canadian Package" requirements when doing research, so far as I remember it was essentially the arctic pak. We had the Arctic Pak in the...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Overnight in Oregon Sno Parks?

    We stayed in the Wanoga SnoPark. Plenty of others (RVs with generators creating excellent white noise) in the lot. We also explored our lower temperature limits in the camper, turned the heater off during the night and the interior temperature dropped below -10C. We had to put our socks on in...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West The Sportsmans have a new Hawk Shell

    Hi The Fleet was not a shell, it was a loaded 2011. The motivation to switch was a few spontaneous visits to 4WC and an evaluation of our camper wants and needs; we never really used the sink, never really felt the 3-way dometic met our needs, we wanted to change the cabinets/drawers/storage...

    In the reverse question, my Fleet is pre-wired for solar, and I find the wire terminals near the battery, but I don't find a plug in the roof (or anywhere). Am I looking in the wrong place? Do I have to install a plug? Would someone direct me to a picture of said plug? thanks scott

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Camping with a Baby

    Your little one will probably do great. At 6 months we didn't bring much special for our daughter (we tent camped until buying a FWC when she was 1 year old). I would wear her in a sling or ergo carrier until we were ready to go to bed. Now that she is older sometimes we let her sleep in her...
