    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Camper steps for sale

    I may interested. Do they mount on the bumper? Any pics of them installed? Any idea what brand they are? If I take them, it would have to be a case, as I never purchase anything less. Thanks-

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Roof Loads

    There was a thread about this a few months ago. One solution is to look at a front receiver mount with a tire carrier. Helps with the weight balance and is out of the way. A lot cheaper too. I found a Curt front mount for mine that was $85 shipped. Not sure what the tire carrier would run.

    Harbor Freight has a cheap one for a few dollars. All of the cheapies are made in China anyways. I keep one in each vehicle.

    I bookmarked to the View New Content page which allows me to "cut right to the chase", so to speak. I like it.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West ATTN: Fisherman

    My very best friend at the time was a real estate salesman for Shelter Cove when they first started back in the '70's. He would fly there in a chartered plane. One time it crashed on take-off, but no one survived. Pilot forgot to remove the chocks from the wings. Left a wife and unborn kid...

    If you come across any of the drawer or sliding cabinet latches please let me know Oh gosh, I need one of those latches as well. Been using a nail to keep the sliding door shut for years now. I have looked at several places and nothing is close. Let me know if you have more or a source...

    Santispac...Ahhh Did our honeymoon week there in 1990, even had a Valco boat and a Yamaha 225 along. That place must be timeless.

    FYI- FWC is right in the middle of moving their facility to a new location. I'm sure they are not ignoring you, be patient. Sounds like something is plugged up.

    You can run it. Needs to have 12v connected, obviously. Jumper the T/stat wires. I don't remember if gas pressure is needed for igniter to start. You should be able to hear the igniter click when it tries to light. There is a bit of a time delay built in before the igniter kicks in. Hopefully...

    Before Catavina are some old ruins called El Marmol, where they mined marble in the old days. If you are into rocks, there is a whole lot there. Even an old school house built from marble blocks.

    Ah, didn't realize you had the big batteries in the back. You have it very well covered with battery capacity and alt. output. Go with your plan. You may just need to drive more (or use solar) if you consume that much power. Sorry we got your trip post off track. It was nicely done with some...

    650's seem small (for a diesel). My F250 has 2 950's stock and an 850 in the camper, charged from the 30A circuit (the trailer harness connection) and topped with a 50w solar. Has been very sufficient so far. A battery is like a tank of water, if you run out, you need to have a bigger...

    I read the good parts, just wanted to offer my regards for the unfortunate parts. I raised two girls who have camped from Saline to Punta Final, and everywhere in between.

    That's probably how I'll solve that problem. Well, that and some nice 1/0 gauge wire. I think you are jumping a bit off the "deep end" here. I recall your "problem" was a bad alt, which is fixed. http://www.wanderthewest.com/forum/index.php?/topic/4178/page__fromsearch__1 Go back to your old...
