    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Replacing an inefficient Zamp solar kit with a Overland kit

    The ISOTHERM is horribly inefficient (compared to the ARB) and sucks a lot of power. I ran my 65qt ARB non stop for over 2 years with a single 100 watt panel with not a single glitch. I now run the ARB in the truck and the ISOTHERM in the camper and have (2) 175 Watt Panels up top. I want my...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Another Turnbuckle Fiasco Averted ....FWC facebook page

    I had this issue big time. I checked them often offroad and it was like clockwork 2 were ALWAYS loose, usually 2 different ones, I upgraded to some heavy duty forged units and added some jam nuts in between the hook and the center of the turnbuckle. Not a single issue wince with 1000s of...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Hawk Shell-Interior layout-What would you do different

    I have a 2018 Hawk loaded Front Dinette. I LOVEEEE the camper! But..... If I was to do it all over again, I would have delete the Isotherm fridge entirely and either had the spot used for cabinets, or a black void to install an ARB fridge. I have an ARB fridge inside the TRUCK and it is...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West 1/2 ton or 3/4 ton, what are most people using for their FWC?

    I have a 2014 Tundra with a loaded Hawk. Many say "It will work" and it KIND OF does... But... If you offroad a lot and often, it beats the hell out of the maxed out truck. GVWR is around 7300lbs. With the hawk and loaded to travel (and I travel light) my truck weighs in at 8800!!! If...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Camper Ordered, But Which Truck to get?

    Yeah, i have a 2014 Tundra. I had the Old Man Emu with an add a leaf, and bags. The springs are to the point, if i deflate the bags, they have a negative arch. :( I just ordered some custom springs from Boise. If those dont work, ill be shopping for a Dodge!

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Camper Ordered, But Which Truck to get?

    I have a fully loaded 2018 Hawk on a 2014 Tundra.. Although many said "It will be fine" it simply isn't enough truck for the weight, especially when offroading as much as i do. I've spent a ton of $ on suspension upgrades (E tires, new springs, bags, etc..) to beef it up, and it does ok, but...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Story: The Camper That Fell Off

    I'll respectfully disagree here. My current Tundra with my FWC is my 4th vehicle ive run airbags on and never once had a leak or an issue. Its all about the install and doing it properly. Folks i've seen with leaks and such almost always have the onboard compressor setup installed and that...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Story: The Camper That Fell Off

    I've read this article and several variations of it. Am I the only one that feels something is very odd/fishy about it? I could tell from noises in movement that ONE of my turnbuckles had come loose while offroad. Ive driven that trail he was on several times. My brain can't fathom he didn't...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West I can't seem to keep the moisture and mold out of FWC, Help?

    I live in SoCal so I'm a tad spoiled with weather, but I often travel to cold and wet places to camp. Have woken up quite a bit of condensation on several occasions, tried to the vent/fan while sleeping, no luck, still condensation. I've just made it a habit to MAKE SURE when I get home, I...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West To regear or not

    Best Explanation of gearing i've read in a log time, and spot on! Is this the Jonathan Hansen that gave me a copy of his Outdoor Photography book (which i still proudly have) when i met him in AZ with Scott Brady 10+ year ago??? Big tall bald ugly Kevin (that raced the baja 1000 in an 80...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West New FWC Fleet Shell exterior options fiberglass/silver spur

    Do you offroad a lot in brushy areas or tight trails? I went with the silver spur exterior on my 2018 Hawk and within 3 trips it looks 10 years old with all the scratches on it. The silver REALLLLY shows all the small scratches from brush and bush and low trees. Personally, i dont care, but...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Thermostat Failure 2015 Hawk

    Wallowa, what has been determined and confirmed by FWC and many others on a very long thread, either here somewhere or on the FB group was the digital ones had issues because of the batteries dying rather quickly in the cold temps, which is where you'd likely be if a furnace was being used...
