    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Trash Managment?

    Just wondering how everyone handles their trash in your campers? Pretty limited space and I have always used the plastic grocery bags and tried to hang them some where, but figured one of you have come up with better solutions.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West What's wrong with this Fleet Camper?

    They had a build sheet listing the options and the total MSRP in each of their campers on display. It showed 2,000.00 for extended cab over and storage. We spoke with Stan for a while after we saw all the toys. As they are still in testing phase, they are not dead set on the price. Sounded to...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West What's wrong with this Fleet Camper?

    The Pricing seemed to be a bit high in my mind. They don't know for sure yet, but pricing on the build sheet showed a flat 2k for 12 inches more over the cab and stoarge. 12% pricing increase doesn't seem to fit in my mind for a solid value. I would rather put that money toward stoarge boxes...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Attention a Electrical Sleuths

    I just got back from a 600 mile road trip and 3 days with my new mods to my fridge. Huge improvement and kept my freezer below 10 degrees and my fridge around 35-37 degrees. I can't say for sure what fixed it as the larger vent, fan, as well as direct wire 8 gauge kit happened all at once. But...

    Couldn't leave well enough alone around my fridge. Added a dual USB 2.1 amp charger, voltage read out(about .3 lower at fridge then at batts with a voltage metter but gives a good idea) and a cigarette lighter port. Figure might as well put the old fridge wiring to good use as it already had its...

    Jason- Thermostat switch is a great idea and I am going to add one. After a day with the fan running my fridge seems to be running much better. Sent from my iPad using Wander The West

    Well only kinda of a camper project, I added a 40 inch projector screen and led projector. The LED projector has its own 3 our battery so it uses zero camper battery and works pretty slick. Plays movies off of my IPhone or IPad so no need for a DVD player or anything. The projector has a built...

    found it at good ol Amazon. My batteries are by my front turn buckle on the driver side and I simply ran it though the door between the truck and camper and used and removed the vent tube for the ice box out and inserted the 8 gauge wire in its place. Took all of 5 mins to put though and zero...

    New larger vent along with a fan, cut off switch, 8 gauge direct wire and hopefully that fixes my fridge not working correctly. Next step is swapping batts out. 1990 Ford F-250 1997 fwc grandby

    Well a project is in my future. Larger vent for fridge (4x12 for 48 inches), a 12v fan and a hard wire kit from Arb that has direct connection to my battery with 8 gauge wire. I am also going to swap out my batts for 2 6v batts on my toy hauler. One way or another I will not have melted ice...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Adding fourth tiedown passthrough

    My 87 grandby had 4 bolts though the bed directly though the camper. Worked great for 20 years of the campers life. Just a large 3/4 inch bolt (approx.) and a large washer held it great. Sent from my iPad using Wander The West

    Well I'm in almost the exact same situation. My system is acting identical symptoms of yours. I am going to swap batteries out of my toy hauler and see if that solves the issue. But my lights dim, voltage drops and red light blinks in my fridge and won't work if it's not plugged into shore...

    I haven't done anything else yet other then the top vent. I left about a 1/4 inch all the way around the fridge so I am waiting to see how well it works before "poking" more holes in my camper. So far seems to work much better. My camper batts don't seem to be holding their charge as good as I...

    Made another small and cheap mod tonight. I put a floor vent I found on Amazon cut into the top of my compressor fridge, I am shocked by the amount of heat that started poring out of it once I cut it open. The vent opens and closes so I can control it as needed. I hope this will help my fridge...

    yours was a 4 barrel carb that pounded fuel. My efi 460 gets 10 mpg with my camper and pulling my rhino and small trailer or 6mpg pulling my 7500 lb toy hauler. Diesels are great if you are towing all the time but gas works great if your not pulling heavy loads. The 6.0 is a fine motor as...

    I've long wanted an easy out door kitchen on my fwc but haven't found a great or simple solution. I would be very interested to hear what others have come up with. I've seen lots of bbq's for tail gating that slide into your receiver hitch but as I'm almost always towing that's not an option for...
