wings I am planning on taking the wings off, I just want to get more siding in case I get carried away!

life is good It still needs a few major repairs, but overall......I think I got a good price for it. I decided to take out everything yesterday and just start out with an empty shell. My truck really struggles on the climbs and it may be a while till I can replace it. The only option that we...

Thanks!!! Thanks for all the great suggestions. I got everything working great. Here are a few pics of our trip out to Lynx creek to do a little panning. -Skeeter

I finally got some time after my move to pull my 97' Ranger 2 from storage and start cleaning her up. I tried to start the fridge and have no idea how to get it going. I did find a link on here about the furance, no luck there either. Can anyone throw me a bone on how these things work? I...

Hey AK snowbird! It handled just great. I drove the Penske rental while the lady drove it all the way from Ashland to Phoenix. Our Ranger only has a 2.5 liter engine but it got it home no problem. I had a trip back east as soon as I got into town so we still have not had the time to clean...

mods I plan on removing those lights to lighten up the load. Not sure how to do it yet, might be able to use a hack saw. Any ideas?

Sunshine! Is the heat making you uncomfortable, yet? We would of stayed if the work was there, but we really missed the Sun and the lack of crowds that the Southwest have. It feels good to feel the sun again!

yes, picked it up Wednesday.

Just brought home this 97' Ranger 2 on my 98' Ford Ranger. It is in need of some TLC, but plan on striping out the interior for a rebuild. It would not fit my bed, so I went ahead and removed the "wings". Thanks to Pods, that was a easy task! Critters chewed up the vinyl and interior, so it...

Thanks! Thanks for the quick replies, did a search and found out how easy it is to remove wings. Hope I can bag this one!

Just wanted to ask what the difference is between a Ranger II and an Eagle? Thanks-

better idea? I think another great option would be to offer a "kit" or plans to build your own. I think that even a model with a little less material that would be cheaper to make and be lighter would have a market niche. You could call it the 2WD model. This economy has been rough on a lot...

Ya can't go wrong! I highly recommend Wrangall-St Ellias National park. There are only two dirt roads that enter one of the biggest parks in the U.S. I would suggest Nabesna Road. You can spend a week exploring that place, there are a few public cabins also. Here is a good link...

Hi Gary, What model(Martin) do you have? Hard Case? I would definately bring the humidifier. I have a Taylor, no camper yet.....

Yes, it is pretty small. It would work out just right for me due to the small engine in my Ford Ranger. There is a small plate just to the bottom right side of the door. It had a registered weight of 360. A little confusing. This camper is registered in Washington, wondering if that is the...

How much does a "Falcon" shell weigh with only a furnace as an option? Looking at one that claims to be 360 lbs and the FWC website says shells are between 530 and 590. Does anyone have any info? Thanks-

small inflatable Duane, I would recommend just getting a small inflatable that come in a large duffle bag, Zodiac has a model for three people and weighs less than 50 lbs! Inflating them is easy with the foot pump. The big problem is the motor, they are heavy. Craigs list is a great place...

Thanks Hi Everyone, Dirty Dog, PVStoy,Alaskan Snowbirds ,Highz& ScottBailey - Thanks so much for all of the welcomes and advice. We really appreciate it! Everyone here has such great ideas! We are very happy we found this website! -We were at the point of getting overwhelmed and now we are...

I was wondering if my 98' Ford Ranger with a 2.5 4 cylinder engine would have troube hauling one of these "pop up" campers. Can anyone share any operating experiences? My max power is 119 ponys. I was considering a used empty shell model, maybe the Falcon or Finch which are the lightest...
