    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Tahoe National Forest! Any recommendations?

    First week of June, hoping to evade the crowds before school gets out. Usually we go after the Mammoth "favorites" the first days that they open and have been lucky to get whole camps to ourselves like Reds Meadow...Just trying to mix it up this year for our late spring trip. Thanks a lot for...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Latch tightness

    I was thinking of putting a pin-lock of some sort on the inside jack mechanism just for a warm fuzzy feeling, especially since you're already there it wouldn't take any extra time.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Ram trucks, payload, suspension, and off-road ability

    http://www.aev-conversions.com/vehicles/prospector Pretty much the ultimate set up. Add some custom spring/weight valved 2.5" body shocks, 4.10 gears and 37" Toyo tires. Maybe not orange in color :wacko: I've had quite a few 3/4 ton Dodge setups and unless you're running a big Lance or the...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Tahoe National Forest! Any recommendations?

    Hi, Does anyone have any recommendations for the Tahoe National Forest? Maybe some lakes we could camp next to and get away from people? Haven't ever been there but from maps we've looked at, we were thinking Glacier Lake hike and the surrounding areas...Any recommendations/options greatly...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Northstar TC650

    Got an 800. They are just well built tried and true design with roomy floorpans. One huge plus (to me) is the 37 gallon fresh water tank.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Looking at new Alaskans

    Utility option is by far the best for ANY pop up camper. I've had quite a few "adventure" setups and none even compare. My cab and chassis was ordered and delivered to Alaskan where they added the bed and custom made camper for a "perfect fit" cabover. Ridiculous amount of storage with all...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Looking at new Alaskans

    I've been in a late model one and can say it is virtually the same as my 94'. Materials, quality, and the nice comfy feeling same as mine. (except the new ones have a toilet where mine has a closet) What's really nice is to put the seats in bed mode for quick naps or to ride in the back while...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Torklift or Happijac for a 10 foot Alaskan Cabover

    I thought the torklifts were those ones that hang down and out from the frame, right in harms way if you're 4-wheeling?

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West '77 roof re-skin

    Can I ask where and how much $ the parts were for this part of your rebuild? I have about 8-too many holes in my skin and would like to do the same. Can't wait to see it done, Will look great. Never seen a brand new lookin' 77'. Definetly a project to measure 5x/cut once :D

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Ideas for a truck/camper cover?

    Thanks for the suggestions. It's gotta be sorta pretty as my neighbor mows his lawn in cross-hatch patterns and makes figurines out of his bushes. I guess I'll try a cover for something like a Sprinter van...

    You just screw them in cross ways on the BOTTOM of the camper opposite direction of the bed ribs. Between bedfloor and camper, maybe 4 2x4s. BTW, I am jealous, there are so many great spots in your part of the state.

    Might possibly want to attach some 2x4s to the bottom so you don't ruin the truck roof, it looks awfully close...Nice looking oldy :)

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Cabover lifting while driving, anyone else?

    I did mine in the interior just on the inside of both cabover hydraulic rams. Mounting the hinge part of the hasp flat on the mattress side and the part that has the hole vertical next to the cylinder top mount, used this only a little nicer one-...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Any thoughts on flexible solar like uni-solar?

    I've always put some kind of solar panels on my campers but was thinking of trying some of the flexible panels like uni solar. It seems they take up some more space for equal wattage but will fit curved roofs (like my Alaskan), have way less wind resistance, tougher, and possibly out perform at...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Show Your Alaskan Rig

    Yeah, it's got a place for everything. It is an offset model to fit the utility bed so it's all permanent and won't fit a regular bed.
