    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Weekend Getaway to Lake Chelan, WA - April 2017

    Not a lot of opportunities to find remote camping along the lake. Anything that is accessible by road is pretty built up. You could try 25 mile State Park, it's on the West side, nice campsites, has a boat launch/marina. It's been about 15 years since we stayed there but imagine it's the...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West is it ever pleasurable to camp in super hot weather...

    When it's hot, really doesn't matter hard or soft, once the inside temp gets elevated, not much you can do to bleed off heat unless you have an A/C (and associated generator/shore power). We had the dubious enjoyment of visiting elderly in-laws in a retirement community in Palm Desert a couple...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Water proof camper cover?

    If you do use a tarp or something along those lines, use something to stand it off the camper a little bit so you have some air flow around it.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Door Stop - Rotopax Removed

    Why not a peg style door holder. You may need to do stand offs, etc to get it to the right position, but may last a little longer than teh foam, and does keep the door from flopping around...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Weather Proofing Strategies For Cameras

    While not the best for a camera, we have had a "Cell Phone Rice" bag for many years. Having raised 2 daughters, it got used a lot. Rice will absorb a lot of the moisture in the and will help draw it out of the electronics. As you said, don't turn on and pull the battery

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Thermopolis, WY and the Solar Eclipse

    I think anywhere with a paved road, and a lot, if not most with dirt/gravel roads is going to be a zoo. Luckily, if you can get yourself a spot in the path anywhere, you don't have to do anything from there. Other than deal with a mass of humanity and hope for clear skies

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Replace truck back window so it opens?

    In the 2+ years that we've had our camper, we have never even taken the cover off of that window. I've had the rear slider open on this truck and the one before it combined maybe a total of 3 times, mostly because I hit the button by mistake. Yes, it could be used if the keys get locked in...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Discount Tire?

    I will buy from them on-line, then take the tires to a Local Discount Tire for mounting and balancing. If you show you bought them from the On-line site, they charge the lower rate as if you bought them there at the store. So far for me it's worked out well. The stores themselves are like any...

    Actually there were only 3 criteria, it was for women drivers, had to have a Jeep capable of the environment (i.e a stock Rubicon or modified), register in time. Oh, and get yourself to Florence, other than that it was free. It was put on by AEV, they are almost a factory tuner for Jeeps and...

    Even farther away in Seattle, but I have a K2 (8' with cassette toilet, no shower) and happy to answer any questions too. Very happy with the camper, worth every penny we spent on it.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Women's Offroad Driving Course

    So after all the "classroom" work, we started out onto the sand. As anyone who has driven offroad much will testify, you have to back up a lot. The very first exercise everyone had to do was to back down a simple trail about 3/4 of a mile using their mirrors. It was a simple thing, but I...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Women's Offroad Driving Course

    Last week we went down to Florence, OR to the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area where my wife took a women's offroad riving course. The event was put on by AEV (American Expedition Vehicles) and TAP (The Adventure Portal). It was free to any lady with a jeep. There was openings for up to...

    Good luck on your decisions, gathering a lot of information can be fun, but also overwhelming. When you decide to go a certain way, don't second guess yourself. There will always be buyers regret, it starts the second you sign on the dotted line. That doesn't mean you made a wrong choice, so...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Replacing 12v batteries with 6 volt

    Yes and no. Depends on what batteries. 2 x 220ah 6V will give you 220ah at 12v. 2 x 150ah 12v will give you 300ah 6v "Golf cart" batteries are typically true deep cycle and are designed for deeper and/or more discharges. Because you need both for 12v however, if one does fail, you have no...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Cooking Indoors with Outdoor Propane Stove

    I think as Bill said, it's probably less about the emissions than it is about the bulk storage and potential leaks. Keep things ventilated when you're using it, hopefully the propane police don't show up and do a surprise inspection ;)

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Four Wheel vs Hallmark

    It really comes down to how and where you're going to use it, and how much you're willing to spend to do those things. As others have said, the Hallmarks are more substantial, a little wider, taller, and heavier. They provide for more storage (which then compounds the heavier, ask me how I...
