    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Kelowna-BC, Canada

    Been through there. Go for it. Canada does allow revolvers with over 4.1" barrel. Long guns are not a problem either with the proper paperwork completed. My advice is leave them at home. Bear issues are way over dwelled upon. Canadians must get a kick out of Americans beating their chest...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West How does the FWC secure to bed of truck?

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West How does the FWC secure to bed of truck?

    Sell your truck in AK, buy another one down here and drive home. My experience is that vehicles are worth more in AK. You could have the electrical and tie down mods made to your new truck at FWC then enjoy your trip back to AK and do some fishing along the way. I also don't need to tell you...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Buyers regret?

    MarkBC Grass is always greener. I have the side dinette and do not think the view should be a determining factor. With the geometry of a FWC when seated your view is angled down. Consequently, you are not seeing very far anyhow. One thing life has taught me is that there is no perfect tool...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Refrigerator questions

    Sorry, didn't read your message all the way through... As for cooling it should be just as efficient if not more than on AC. If you are in very hot still air the auxiliary fan helps greatly but you don't need it if driving or in any wind. Then only if it is very hot, say over 90. If yours...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Refrigerator questions

    You won't hear it and you will need to hunt around and angle your view to see it. Very very tiny blue flame. Uses very little fuel. Forget about the DC mode. Run on either AC or Gas. Enjoy!

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Your Vehicles Back-up Camera

    Here is a link to an install I did a couple two or three years ago. It is a relocation of my tailgate camera and could again be relocated back to my tailgate if ever need be. The cost was minimal. It looks factory if one would ever notice it at all...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West 3 way frig's.

    The fan I speak of is the option that FWC offers. It is basically a little computer fan as a helper to circulate air when in direct sunlight and still conditions. If the wind is blowing or not extremely hot it does not need to be run. I replaced mine with one purchased off the shelf at Radio...

    My Dometic is a couple plus years old but I'm almost full time. Flawless operation, set to automatic and forget about it. AC when available and gas the balance of time. Never use DC, it's worthless and don't know why they have it, but don't need it. My use has been two trips to BC and once...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Advice to prospects and buyers of campers with compressor refrigerators

    Since you are offering this for prospective buyers, what is the cost of all components if self installed? What would you estimate the cost if professionally installed to support a compressor system? Just curious?

    Yes to death it has, but here is some definitive information instead of hearsay and opinion. If you do not want to read it don't. This is important to me because I have been subjected in the past to civil claim in an injury accident regardless the fact that I was not at fault. It was thrown...

    Gentlemen, there have been some good points made here. This thread has turned my head and opened my eyes. Nobody wants to cause a problem for others nor realize the consequences. Net of it is, most here, myself included, are underestimating the truck we need under even our relatively small...

    This is all eye opening. When I went trough my decision process I crunched numbers to the point that half ton wasn't adding up. From there I just lept to a 3/4T and started the journey. It is incredible to me to now find that while I can modify to be inside the weight restriction that I am in...

    THANK YOU Bad Habit! Hard to believe I am actually technically over weight with a 3/4T carrying a lightly loaded but fully optioned Hawk. I think that I am going to drain the water tank(s) and take some gear out and then have it weighed again. Then I am going to keep the scale receipt with my...

    My 2011 f-250 6.7L Diesel Lariat Crew Cab is rated 10,000 GVWR according to the door jamb plackard. The front axel GVWR is 5,940 and the rear 6,100 which equals by my math 12,040? Can someone explain why the truck is rated 10,000lbs then? I don't know what the empty weight is because when I...
