    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Alaska

    "no return date" The questioned you should of ask is "when is a good time to go". A trip like that you can not put a price on it. You only go around once. Have a great time............

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Grandby (1999) on 2007 Tundra (6.5ft bed)?

    You can do anything you like but remember, a 1/2t is a 1/2t. I know for a fact that if you are over weight your playing with fire with insurance companies. If there is a way out of paying they will find it.??????

Inside camper, can't go wrong with a shelf or two. And u might change your mind about a fridge down the road, and a...

    I too have been remodeling my Hawk. Floor, roll end $35. Counter top $35. it to a roll end. I went with the end piece instead of the made up unit because I can use 1/2 ply instead of there heavy partical board stuff they use. The main reason for the FWC is weight so I did not want to screw that...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West furnace vent?

    Thankyou for the reply. Heat exchanger makes sense. With this type of unit would the condensation from propane heat be a lot lower than other units. I have already cut the two openings earlier today, not wanting to change anything that I was not in tune with. Again thanks..............

    Mechanic buddy said the 5.9l diesel is the one to look for, pre 2008? The newer units have the emission concerns. Speaking of Dodge.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West tie

    K7MDL Thanks for sharing your expierence. Sounds like a few small plot holes may happen. For the ride home I think I will use the tie downs that are already in the floor of the dodge (factory). The seller said that is all he used. Think I like the eye bolt and proper location placement better...
