    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Tailgate width and camper width, how tight is to tight?

    Hi 2trout - I have the same situation of less than 1/2 inch on either side. I live on a gradual grade, so there is no place to store the camper that is flat. Given this, it is a royal pain (a few frustrating hours) to load or unload the camper. I had planned to take it off a few times a year...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Outside Stove

    Hi Folks - Thinking of putting an outside stove on my FWC. Not sure if this realistic or if it is just easier to buy another stove and deal with the extra storage space needed. Ideal would be to use inside stove and propane and mount it to outside of camper. Not sure if it is possible to make...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West FWC Rear Window Replacment

    I think that you can just replace the glass. I have had just the glass out when I took it apart to reseal the rear window. Must have been some kind of windstorm! Gregg

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West New FWC camper, wind fairing suggestions

    I'm in Bill. I'd be willing to work with you on a solution. I think that might be a large part of the drag coefficient for our campers. I have certainly looked at those trucks and wondered. Gregg

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Minimum Garage Door Height For Hawk + '05 Tundra

    Right around 87" with about 20 lbs in the air bags on my 06 Tundra with my 05 Hawk. That is just to the top of the roof and therefore does not include any racks or panels nor the roof vent. I bought the Hawk used and don't know if it was custom built or if they even do that. Gregg

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Pull Out Faucet Mod

    I did a similar thing with a faucet that I bought at the hardware store. Main motivation was to extend faucet to near middle of sink. Factory faucet on 2005 Hawk barely reached sink edge - forget about rinsing anything including hands. Much better now and pull out hose allows rinsing of pots and...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Furnace Maintenance

    I have a "05 Hawk with a Suburban furnace that some times works and some times shuts itself off after a minute of blowing. Perhaps it needs some maintenance. I have tried FWC site manuals, Suburban site and archives on this site. Brenda at FWC sugested a few Youtubes, but nothing seems to look...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Free Ice Box

    I have a refer box that I removed from my FWC. All of the tubes and wires have been removed from the back of the box, so it is just an insulated box with a flange in the front to mount it and a door in the front. It is a 3 way refer without the machinery. It is 20” tall x 17 wide x 16 deep...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Refrigerator questions

    I have a three way that on gas doesn't seem to have any adjustability of flame height except for in the last 1/8 of an inch of the knob's movement. Has anybody else experienced this? Gregg

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Roll over couch question

    Something that you should know about the rollover couch that I don't recall seeing posted is that the rollover part appears to be 4" thick like the foam on the seat, but when you lay on it you realise that 2 of those inches are made of solid seat back support material and it actually only has 2"...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Sliding Front Window and Boot

    I replaced the non sliding front window in my 2005 Hawk with a slider mainly to be able to put my fly fishing rods in there while driving between fishing spots. (The rods stick into the back of the cab.) That way I don't have to break them down and they are ready to go at the next spot. I have...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West 3 Way Refer Question

    Thanks for the reply's guys. Seeing that the thermostat knob does adjust flame size (if only in two steps) and that the knob directly controls gas flow, I assumed that is how the temperature is adjusted in the refer. Please set me straight with an explanation. WS - I am not sure what you mean by...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West 3 Way Refer Question

    I have a Norcold 3 way refer. When in gas mode the "temp" adjustment seems to have no effect on the flame size until the very last quarter inch of turn, when it reduces the flame size by half. That seems like only high or low and nothing in between. Have others noticed this? I also noticed that...

    I have experienced this on my '06 Tundra w/Hawk. It can get really bad at times on certain stretches of Hwy between 55 and 65 mph. It is really unnerving. Glad to know that I'm not the only one with this problem. Dealer couldn't help.Tried more air in air bags, changing lanes, changing where I...
