Mike - I looked over the route you suggested using an old-fashioned paper map. Would you recommend one or 2 nites between Whidbey and Spokane? And do you recommend campground reservations after Labor Day? We are so used to the Ore & Wash coast where reservations are a must. Thanks.

Wow - thanks for all the info! Spending the day in beautiful Marin for Easter so will read thru these when we get home. Thanks for the ideas. (And yes we would be departing Whidbey Island via Deception Pass Bridge which is an amazing site). Gail

We are planning a long road trip at the end of the summer with our Fleet. We live in the SF Bay Area and are going up the coast to Whidbey Island, WA. We have done this the last 3 years and have that part nailed down. Will take 6 days to get there. From Whidbey we are ultimately ending up in...

We are heading up to Whidbey Island from the SF Bay Area via Ore & Wash coast this Thursday. Our 3rd trip in 3 years! I would agree with the positive comments about the Oregon State Park Campgrounds. MUCH nicer than Calif SP CGs. Pick up free annual Oregon State Park guide at one of the parks -...

We have a 2012 Fleet with the 4" concrete foam. Here are the numbers for the foam I got directly from FWC: 2012 Foam: Density=1.8. IDL=48 New foam 3" thick Density=2.5. IDL=35 I literally called today to order foam from "The Foam Factory", Foambymail.com. After talking with them today I...

As Bill said above the campers made around 2012 have the wood grain paper - be VERY careful cleaning as I have unfortunately removed the paper "grain" with very little rubbing. I tried to remove finger prints and other stains but after ruining the finish so easily I have decided to let it go and...

Hoyden, we have a 2012 Fleet with a side dinette. Note, we generally eat outside so the rear dinette seat stays folded down and we have a nice lounging area. Hefty 29 qt containers work really well in the Fleet. You can place 2 in the foot area of the dinette - almost a perfect fit for 2...

Thanks for the great ideas. We are in Tahoe but will research these when we get home. Just saw a FWC Hawk in the CVS parking lot South Lake Tahoe.

We are heading up to Whidbey Island again this summer along the Pacific Coast from San Francisco. (Thanks for all the ideas last summer). I need to find a campsite along the northern Oregon coast between Tillamock and Astoria. We stayed at Bar View Jetty County Park last summer which was OK...

Mike, great pictures and thanks for the ideas of beautiful places to stay in Oregon. We really enjoyed meeting you and talking with you on Sunday before we left. Mike & Gail (you moved to our campsite Sunday nite at Sugarloaf)

Stan, please post pics of the 2016 Tacoma with the camper when you are back in Woodland. Thanks.

Fantastic time again! Thanks to everyone at FWC & RC Pilot Jim who put so much work into the weekend. It was great to visit with fellow owners again this year & catch up on the last year and all the new mods. Sugarloaf is a beautiful park and a perfect setting for a rally. Can't wait to see...

Ahh - we have a 2012 Fleet! Missed out on that improvement. Will have to flip them over. Hopefully won't be too distructive.

Did you flip the wall cabinet so that the doors opened down instead of the FWC way of lifting up? If so, are you happy with this change? I've been thinking that they would be more functional that way instead of having to bend down to see inside the cabinet.

Has anyone thought about using ready-made thermal curtain panels available at Lowe's cut to fit & velcro added as necessary. Not sure about insulating properties but this is from Lowe's description: Room darkening and noise reducing Reduces energy costs by preventing up to 25% of heat loss...

Ski3pin, amazing work and 67 nights already - we are envious! Would you mind sharing what material you used for the cold weather pack? I was planning on making one using Insul-Bright from Joanns but it requires fabric covering on both sides so a lot more sewing. Thanks.

We have a 2012 Fleet with the light wood cabinetry (birch veneer we think). It is very susceptible to stains from water - leaves pale black spots. Does anyone have any experience with oiling or sealing the interior wood? Thanks.

Thanks for the help - I came to the same conclusion tonite and when I just launched WTW thru Safari I book marked it. I think I am set!

not sure - finally broke down and bought an ipad air and I am lifetime windows user. First time I accessed WTW with the ipad I got a message that i should use the ipad app so I went to the App Store but nothing came up. So do I download the Tapatalk app and access WTW via that app? Thanks

I am looking for a liquid propane (LP) conversion kit for a Yamaha EF1000 generator. Does anyone have any experience with these or can point me in the right direction?

Is there a WTW ipad application? If so how do I locate? Thanks

I got the idea for a homemade cabin bag from Overland Hadley's post at Expedition Portal. It was easy to make out of canvas and stretch fabric. I sewed a 2 in wide Velcro strip across the top of the back side of the bag. Then we stick it to the Velcro for the Thermal Pack near the ceiling...

This is great information - I'll map out your suggestions. Thanks!

Rather than flying to SEA, we are thinking of driving from the SF Bay Area to Oak Harbor on Whidbey Island in northwest Washington with our Fleet. We will be taking I-5 to shorten the trip and are looking for camping ideas - undeveloped is OK. We are planning on 3 days-2 nites to get there...
