    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West How rain proof are "pop-ups?

    as for the soft sides, not a problem unless there is a hole. the newer units are made from the zodiac boat material, (hypolon, spelling?) say no more, bullet proof. as for the older canvas if treated properly, like wall tents will last a lifetime. of course up here in bc we do not get the rain...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Unmounting a Hawk sloping driveway

    5" casters is what I am using. Have two non swivel at one and two that swivel at the other. I too have the gap and not a problem. Before you rig some pulley system up, give it a try free hand, it rolls very easy.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Advice on selling 2010 Hawk

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Unmounting a Hawk sloping driveway

    From the pic it looks safe. Remember to keep the cab/over part of the camper a little higher than the rear, 2-4" idea. As for the dolly wheels, I went with solid 5" wheels/casters. They a rated well over what my camper is. Did not like the idea of having to deal with air problems. However you...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Cleaning canvas and rubber

    Canvas and rubber? One or the other no? The really old units had canvas and the other used the hypolon, spelling? Same material as some rubber boats, ie zodiac. For the later 303 protec all the way, awesome stuff and good for the vehicle as well. As for canvas that one you might have to check...

    anti freeze, a little down the drain as well. remove the battery from the cold. remove the mattress, so air may circulate around that area. think that just about covers it. instead of anti freeze you can blow the lines out

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Ford F150 with an Eagle

    I have seen some units like that as well not many but the odd one. One unit the guy had the right idea, he utilized the space between the truck and camper and made a slide out drawer. Granted its not very high but he got some use of that space. He also put a couple of doors on the side between...
