    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Toyota Build Up

    That's one sturdy looking upper control arm. Might there be some pinching of the hose for the front shocks and there reservoir? It looks close at the full drop in the pictures. Does the hose between the rear shock and it's reservoir rub on the frame? If so, that might cause some problems...

    I Don't Need To Know What Milage You Get Who cares, when you have a motor like that. What I want to know, I think I see a conventional engine driven fan in there, but I'm not sure, or is it electric?

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Cooktop Mods for Indoor/Outdoor Use

    I am interested to see if there are any good ideas for a modified cooktop that can be used in the camper or can be removed for cooking outside. A saw such a mod on a VW camper years ago, but I cannot remember the details. I would imagine using a new appliance that sits into a recess in the...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Which air bags to buy?

    Fisherman, What do you mean by more windings on the air bags. All airbags are reinforced with a wire winding, sort of like a radial tire, these bags contain more reinforcement, I believe that the containment wall is stronger.
