    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Froli Sleep System - An initial review

    I have the travel and (2) Thermarest RidgeRest foam pads and sleep on it every night. 165 pounds. Does not bottom out but does develop a bit of body shape depression memory. This can be dealt with by moving the snap together components around, which I have not bothered to do. Eventually will...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West First time camper owner - looking to add struts to popup

    In contrast to the strong and reliable welded aluminum frame portion of the camper, FWC assembles the plywood portion by stapling and screwing into the end grain of said plywood without benefit of adhesive.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West The old bag has had it!

    Wiggys makes a great bag . Mine is Mummy style but made wider and longer than usual. Very roomy for a mummy style. Slept outside for a year with lowest temp 9 degree F and no cold complaints. Bag warms up in 30 seconds once you get in it. Drys really quick when wet.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Any experience with vinyl welders? Need to replace vinyl...

    I second the HH-66 for assembling new vinyl. I have used it to make a top for a Jeep and it lasted for years. The smaller can has an integral brush in the lid that is really handy and does not need to be cleaned after use as it is immersed in the glue. Plus it can be used to adhere your own...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Any experience with vinyl welders? Need to replace vinyl...

    I have used a hot air welder to fabricate several air supported structures (bubbles) for swimming pools. The biggest problem with these welders is that the vinyl needs to be heated to just shy of burning and not a degree higher or a degree lower. Lots of opportunities to breath in poly vinyl...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West 2001 FWC Hawk how to remove uncured seam seal & repair leaking rear door window

    Try dabbing the adhesive with the strongest tape you have. Each dab will physically pull off a little of the offending adhesive. Will take a bunch of dabs.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Is it just me?

    Had just finished a hike and was sitting in the Jeep getting de-organized. Was ready to get going and turned the ignition - nothing. Tried again and again nothing. Jeep wouldn’t start because it was already running! Is it just me or does anybody else miss the sound of a starter trying to engage...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West This old Granby build

    Just read the thread from the beginning and see that you did a great job of sewing it. I was right! It would be a good idea to restitch it with a #69 or #92 bonded polyester with uv inhibitors. Probably not what you want to hear. But the regular home sewing thread is not up to the task. These...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West This old Granby build

    I would divide the pucker into either two, three or four puckers and position them over a larger area. I would also move the puckers away from the corners. The pucker should be oriented so that it sheds air and water to the rear of the camper to achieve a shingle affect. The pucker in the...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West camper cover - any interest?

    Might want to pinch the length and width together at each corner and set a grommet through the triangular seam allowance. This will form a "shoe box" shape without any seams along the top of the tarp. For a finished tarp size of 8' x 12' with 28" of drop: Cut fabric to 156" x 204" Mark 30" in...
