If any of you are familiar with the trip from Ajo to Yuma (vicinity) through the Cabaza Prieta NWR we would appreciate a little information. I understand 4X4 is required to obtain a permit to make the trip. I'm comfortable with mountains (steep/rocky) but not experienced with desert/sand...

Thanks for the update Craig. Glad all went well. We'll be looking forward to seeing the pictures and other reports too! AKSBs

After reading Dawg’s Norcal trip report/article I wanted to find out a little more about one of the campgrounds since we'll be heading south from Wa. in a few days and might run down the Oregon/Cal coast. I went to the web site for the .gov agency that has the campground but found nothing. Did...

...some of you may remember the television show Death Valley Days??... Seems like it was sponsored by "20 Mule Team Borax"...We thought of that show when we were at DV in November going through the borax extraction exhibit....Interesting exhibit. Wish we could make it back for the gathering and...

Solved! No Sweat!! AHHH MAN...Where was this beauty when I was lookin' for a camper a couple months ago!!!! Seriously, somebody did a lot of work and had a lot of fun putting that together. The door is art. A tube mounted to one of the jack hoists and a collapsible hoist that will fit into...

Duane look at this http://www.mokai.com/ I've wondered why there aren't more jet skis on the rivers in interior Alaska...maybe I'll see some of these! I don't think it's what we'll want for using with the camper but it is an interesting boat! FYI that link is W.A. which I believe is "western...

Thanks for the responses Curmudgeon & b team. No RV supply here in Juneau (that I know of) but we've got Walmart! Some of the marine folks or the propane outlet might have something too. I'll check WM but probably just wait until we fly south in a couple weeks (we left the rig there and came up...

Porta Bote and Collapsable Trailer!!!! Mark, These have been my front runner. Hard sided, fairly light (68# for the 12' model), clean when mounted either on top or side, easy to power with gas or electric (6 hp max and I've got an ol' short shaft 6 Evenrude that still cranks up), they should...

Thanks John... John D., We've been around the Kleppers and Fold-Boat kayaks some. You're right...the Kleppers are quality stuff. They get used a lot for fly-in trips here. Friends have an Aerius II (sp?) model that they bought at least 30 years ago and it's still going strong. Shep Webber...

Automatic valve information?? ...i added a 2nd propane bottle with a valve that switchs over to 2nd bottle... Les,Lqhikers Les, if you've got info (make/model/source) for the automatic valve I'd bet I'm not the only one that would like to see it!:D

Wow...the roof won't take much! I didn't even think about test loading the roof to see what kind of load it (I) will take...DUH!!! I'll do that, starting with just 10# (thanks for the caution DD) and see where my comfort zone is. I should have been more specific on why we don't want to use a...

We'd like to carry a small boat with us for fishing and exploring, mostly lakes but some in-shore salt water too. We won't want to use a trailer much of the time so would like to have something that works on top of the camper. We've got the boat and luggage racks on the camper. I understand...

Thanks for keeping me honest guys. They say the mind is the second thing to go.... It wasn't a full size rig and it was a Ford, so I'd GUESS it was a Courier.

Sounds like a great summer plan! Skeeter, Hearing about your plans takes me back to '74 when Susan and I spent two weeks in a Jeepster Commando towing a utility trailer made from a '53 Chev truck front end tenting to Alaska from Washington (Lordy...I am starting to sound like a geezer..."I...

Not much help here...but welcome! Skeeter, Welcome! I'm new to the forum too and have been enjoying it a lot. We just put a new FWC Grandby on our '07 Dodge 2500 4x4 (gas V8). It's the first camper we've been around for 35+ years...so I'm not much help to you, but I am interested to hear the...

Thanks for the warm welcome! pvstoy & DLN, Thanks for the warm welcome/kind words! Here's a fuzzy foto from Organpipe Campground that Susan took with her cell. I'll do a short write-up and add a few fotos to the trip forum when the camera and photo download software land at the same spot :D...

We're NEW Four Wheel Campers Chicale, Kirk and crew at FWC mounted the display model Grandby on our ’07 Dodge 2500 4x4 regular cab either the 2nd or 3rd of this month (and did a great job! :thumb:). We and the camper/truck spent the next couple weeks getting to know each other. We spent the...
