Welcome aboard. Have not up to Crab Flats in a while. Need to take the atv sometime soon. Ever try Horse thief camp down the road. WTW has been a very good source for tips and info, so stick around. Jeff

I run with a DRZ400S and a Honda rancher 420. Been ridin' all my life. There's no better way to explorer the out of way places.

Same here on the solar panel. Mine is on the left rear, less likely to snag branches. Also I keep the tailgate on my truck, sort of like a hobo porch and never worry about the door opening... Jeff

They have some here-30" x 12", bottom of the page. http://www.mcmaster.com/#cargo-nets/=837vmy

A friend of mine attaches a kitchen faucet sprayer hose to his sink drain outlet. He then fills the sink with water, steps outside and showers...

There is a weekly program on the RFD TV station called Cowboy Flavor. It is based on Dutch oven campfire cooking. There are some good recipes here. http://www.cowboyflavor.com/

Do you more pics of the dinette? Looks good. What kind of plywood is that?

Did you do the chip and air yet? I have also figured that should I want to pull that toyhauler I'm ready but for now the FWC and a 10' trailer with toys is more versatile. I found my 99 with 110k last spring and now have 146,000. Yup. TS 6 position chip, TYMAR intake and Diamond Eye 4"...

Last year I began a quest to replace an aging W150 Dodge Power Wagon. I had an older Grandby in great shape that I wanted to keep. Cash was limited, so my plan was to look for the latest model year truck that the camper would fit. According to FWC, that would be a '97 F250/F350. So that began my...

Here is another one of the bottom and the top. Finding the proper location is a bit tricky. You need to be sure you have access underneath and you want the hole to be in the center of the rib on the bed. I also used a piece of rubber between the plate and the bed.

Mine is bolted thru the floor in the four corners. I used 3/8 grade 5 bolts, with a large fender washer on the topside. Underneath, I made some 3x5x3/16 thk steel plates to spread the load across several of the ribs on the bottom side of the bed. You want to be sure that you bolt thru the raised...

Barko, Since you are there, would you inquire about the cost to replace the door on an '86 Granby. Mines falling apart. Thanks, Jeff

Anyone know what size tubing FWC uses? On my old Granby, the alum tubing is 1.0" x .045 wall. Here is a pic, hope this helps.

This effectively keeps all of the dirt and water from getting into the wheel well storage areas. I have used this on several different campers with good success. I used (closed cell) foam rubber pipe insulation. This comes in various sizes at any hardware store. In order to keep the foam in...

I was wrong. The bed supports swing up towards the center of the bed and then the bed folds down. The mattress extension folds down also and becomes a backrest for the seat. There is a piece of alum. angle that provides a stop so that the handles don't hit the front wall. Anyways my bed always...

Right now, I cannot lift the entire top. I can get the back up without a problem as I'm standing right under it. I cannot get the front up though. The wire rod is very flimsy and not up to the task. Also, I can't really get up there to help out any as the bed extends into the living space by a...

You definitely need 8 x 3/4 and some 8 x 1.0 for some areas. 1/2 will not do. I recently did this, but I just used zinc plated steel Phillips head screws from the Depot.

I found the motor is a sealed unit with no access to either bushings or bearings. The motor housing has some tabs that are bent over the end plates. The tabs are very easy to bend out with pliers and allow the end plates (with the bearings) to be removed. The bearings can then be cleaned and...

Some repair info here- http://www.wanderthewest.com/forum/index.php?/topic/3197/

The F250 trailer charge wire has a relay in the circuit that will only connect when the key is on.

I'll go one weirder for you. My furnace gets that awful high pitch squeal but only when it's windy out. No wind, no noise. Any thoughts on this one? Has to be the bearings. The grease dries out after time. My guess is that the wind puts a load on the blower when it's running and causes the...

I have an old Hydroflame in my '86 Grandby. The blower finally seized up and tripped the circuit breaker that is located (hidden) on the back side of the furnace. I took it apart. The blower shaft bearings were dry and gunked up the shaft. A lot of wd40 freed it up. After that I lubed it real...

My F250 with the factory tow package has, 10awg wiring with a 30amp fuse and a (ignition on) relay. It keeps an old battery charged up with no problem.

I have been doing that for awhile with no problems. F250 power stroke diesel. Camper battery is mounted in the front right side wheel well, between the truck bed and the outside wall of the Grandby.
