Hmm, I get it! But, I’d have to do that 18 times for 18 photos in the album, yes? I am very lazy...
Postscript to original ad: Oh yeah, the camper is sitting on a custom floor dolly, which is included if you wish.
Anyone with a teardrop for sale in the PNW this fall/winter - I'm interested to know more about your camper!
No trade responses to this thread, but I have heard from a couple potential purchasers, so this camper is now for sale, no longer for trade. Asking is $6,500. The first and second people...
This camper *will* be for sale... for cash in-person. It's not quite ready to go, but could be in a couple weeks. Do you have a vehicle set up for it?
Note that Oregon doesn't require title and license for this sort of camper, and this camper isn't titled. So far as I know, it never was. This...
We have a 97 FWC Eagle Silver Spur with all the usual gear:
Furnace
3-way refer
Stove
Sink and water system with electric pump
Upper queen bed
Lower sofa/double bed (pre-rollover, works fine)
Added 3 round roof racks
Upgrade to LED lighting
Upgrade to 4 corner post jacks
Added propane/CO2...
Well, it won't do the previous owner any good, and might help you at some point, so why not? OTOH, there's a lot of demand in Oregon for good campers, and no title / certificate needed. I don't have one...
If the previous owner has a certificate of origin, I'd ask him/her for the original. You'll probably never need it in Oregon, but, some day when you sell the camper you'll have it to help establish a chain of ownership. This could be pretty helpful to a new owner who lives in a state where they...
Well, I dunno'. Modern industrial safety theory and practice recognizes that there are no accidents, only unsafe actions that *sometimes* have terrible consequences.
I'd hate to be that unlucky person who somehow got a spark in a hydrogen-rich compartment. Somebody (somebodies?) has had that...
I've been happy with an Eagle on a 2013 Frontier V6 king/extended cab with 6' bed. A good match. I've added firestone air bags, and the previous owner of the truck had added some heavy duty tires. A good combo!
About the refrigerator - lots of good info in this recent thread:

I have a 97 Eagle; the refer propane blows out on the road and sometimes in camp. As it turns out, this is probably a maintenance...
Didn't know about this mod! Thanks cwd!

Another lengthy thread that is well worth reading through for 3-way owners. Looks like a street price of $100 (walmart) for an Atwood 93212 kit.
For me, I...
Rusty - thanks for that orientation! As soon as things warm up a little I'll get into it. It's a '97, so perhaps it's past time for a new jet.
Boonie - someone has posted here from time to time about searching google instead of WTW using terms like this:

I searched and found Roger's fan install thread:

Well worth a close read by all owners of 3-way fridges! It includes several links; there are lots of types of RVs out there with 3-ways...
If anyone has info on 3-way maintenance...
Our manufacturer's plate reads "1997 Eagle". Don't know if it mighta' been a special order at that time, but that's what it says!

Last year I helped a friend dismantle and move a shelter like that. It looks like the manufacturer is Versatube.
It all unbolted easily and loaded in her pickup.
My impression was that it was a very sturdy shed - I wasn't on the roof but someone else was. It had been out in the weather for 10...
We had our first season in a 1997 Eagle. Overall, not bad at all!
Cosmetics:
Paper wood grain is peeling in several areas of the cabinetry.
Some roof screws show a little rust.
Functional:
The 3-way refer will not stay lit on propane when it's windy or on the road.
The water system needs to be...
For camera batteries, I really like this dual charger - it runs on 110/240 AC and 12/24 DC!

It's adaptable to *many* different batteries for a couple bucks. And has a USB charging output as well for phones...
Seems a very worthwhile experiment!
Back in our Coleman tent trailer days (shh, don't tell anyone!), the tents were made of Sunbrella-like material. This is, I think, a modern canvas. No condensation...

Yes, cables on a little winch on each jack, a tripod base.
They work fine, but my wife doesn't like the way the camper moves on them.
