    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Total Noobs, doing it all wrong

    I.m on my 2nd fwc grandby and have really enjoyed them. Mine are a bit older so they look almost exactly what atc makes now. I really like them. The furnace is nice but my first fwc didn't have one and it wasn't a bit deal. A wave catalytic heater kept me warm in 20 degree weather no problem...

    Here are the pictures of the kick panels I made for the door repair/ patch job. I'll take a few more with the clamps off tomorrow. I used a ton of Jb weld so should stay on for a long time. 1990 Ford F-250 1997 fwc grandby

    Well had a mostly free day and spent some time working on the truck and camper. I installed a garmin 760 rv GPS and fixed the damage from the first trip. The GPS adds blu tooth hands free calling, hard wired back up camera and of course navigation. I only have one cigarette lighter in the...

    Got back from my first trip and it started off on the wrong foot. Trailer popped off the hitch while loading my utv and drove the hitch right though my rear door. So I'll be repairing that. But other then that was a lot of fun. Sent from my iPad using Wander The West

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Storage?

    I lived in an hoa and couldn't leave fast enough. I wasn't using my camping truck much and the state registration lapsed. They took it on them selves to tow and impound it. 400.00 later I got my truck back. Never was sure why it was their business that my truck was parked in my assigned spot and...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Not sure what to say about this

    Well that's one way to move an old grandby camper and not that safe for sure. But seems to be working if only temporarily. 1990 Ford F-250 1997 fwc grandby

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West My new Ocelot

    Wow that is some shake down trip and sounds like a lot of fun. I'm running an older truck(25 years old) but I just keep an eye on things. Keeping up on your preventive MaintAnce is the best thing you can do. Is there a chance you might get stranded some where? Sure but I was on a trip with my...

    I'm thinking where to mount a tv in my grandby. If I could some how mount to my rear lift panel would be the ideal space. Any one else mount a tv in their campers? 1990 Ford F-250 1997 fwc grandby

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Cooked batteries

    My SWAG(scientific wild a~~ guess) is your voltage regulator took a dive in your converter. I've seen batteries plugged in for a year and never seen that happen. On my utv it is constantly plugged to a battery charger and never has an issue. I've plugged in my toy hauler for weeks at a time and...

    Wow drj, nice set up. When over kill is under rated, I think I'll check with you before I add a system on my truck. Are you planning on adding any kind of inverter so you could run 110? About the only thing your missing from your system is a tv. Sent from my iPhone using Wander The West

    I already had this on the truck it's an off road bumper my kid brother modified to fit in my truck. The step was made by my dad for another project, but it has now found a new home. Perfect height to get in and out of the truck. Even my 5 year old climbs up and down with out missing a beat...

    Just got done adding a compressor fridge. I put in a stainless steel dometic 65l. It's much smaller then I would like, but it fits. I was very happy to find it was pre-wired for a fridge and also had propane set up for a 3-way. Only took about 30 mins. I added two 100 amh 12v batts as well. That...

    Forgot to add this picture of the old camper and the new camper on at the same time. I will miss the old camper. Lots of good years left in it. I had fun working on it but just don't have the time to do a full rebuild like I wanted and I've seen on the boards. It works great now but as the song...

    The camper jacks are for sure coming off. The camper will be mounted on this truck full time. My daily driver is a gmc crew cab and has the 5.5 foot bed and didn't really want a smaller camper. Or to spend 30 mins taking the camper on and off each time in coming and going. I like boon docking...
