    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Dealer Gives Our Truck Away

    Because it was a driver hired by the other dealership to transport a vehicle from one location to another. How much "wear and tear" can accumulate in 150 miles on vehicles that likely reach nearly 300,000 miles??????

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Dealer Gives Our Truck Away

    All these comments from those fortunate enough to have never made a single mistake in their entire life. Really, 150 miles, in western Montana. I don't know how often the vehicle driven but it would seem to me that that mileage could accrue rather quickly in the area. Filling the gas tank seems...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Hallmark truck camper files for bankruptcy

    My thoughts as well. A $5k deposit on standard and 50% down on custom, all non-refundable. I wonder if this will delay and/or cease current production leaving customers holding the bag, hopefully not. Not to insinuate anything fishy, but there seems to have definitely been some management issues.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West GPSMAP® 67i

    I have the 66i, which must be its predecessor. I don't see a lot of difference between the two, but I have used it for several years and used it extensively in areas hundreds of miles beyond cell coverage in the north. It has worked very well, and the messaging plans are very affordable in my...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Tie Down Access Doors

    I have used deck plates many times for numerous applications including camper tie down access. They work well and provide a watertight seal., just make sure you get large enough openings to allow your arm to reach through far enough.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Wind impact on Alaskan Camper while driving question

    Yes, bugs will accumulate on the cabover section, especially in areas that have lot of bugs like MN. I put over 3000 miles on last spring to northern Manitoba and back and while I had a good number of bugs on the cabover section, the number of bugs between the cab and front wall was considerably...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Diesel Heater in Your Camper?

    I must have been lucky since I just opened the Vevor box and installed mine and it worked as expected. As for the brand "Vevor", I have a couple of these and know a few others that have used them in other applications. I would venture to guess that there is but one manufacturing source in China...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Diesel Heater in Your Camper?

    Many days and nights I would guess. I have never used it all in any one trip and fill it before leaving again. In using it on my last trip it ran 8-10 hours evening and overnight with night temps below freezing for 5 days and used roughly 3-4 litres. I have burned through a 20# bottle of propane...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Diesel Heater in Your Camper?

    Sorry, I don't have any photos right now. I have a diesel pickup but did not tap into the fuel tank. The heater came with a more than adequately sized fuel tank and I mounted it on the inside back wall of the camper where I removed the original recirculating toilet. I plumbed the inlet air and...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Diesel Heater in Your Camper?

    I have a 10' Alaskan camper that was equipped with a propane catalytic heater that was non vented. I installed an 8kw chinese diesel heater and could not be happier with the results. It has run for over 100 hours at this point and has had no problems and is very economical to run.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Q. on upgrades

    I have an '81 10'co. It had a toilet in the aft starboard corner that was a useless recirculating type. I removed it and put in a chinese diesel heater in the space. I couldn't be happier with the results, dry, quieter than forced air propane and sips fuel. Plumbed the intake and exhaust right...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Rear Truck Tail Light Theft - Does Hawk Block Mounting Screws?

    Try and find like sized tamper proof Torx screws and replace the factory screws with them. While it is not a bullet proof solution, not a lot of meth heads carry those types of bits I would guess. Be nice if people were just able to pay as much attention to where their vehicle is in relation to...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Anyone know the specs on older Alaskan heaters

    Is it a catalytic style of heater? If so, is it vented or non-vented. Non vented is what is in my 1981 and while it is like new and operates as such, I do not use it unless there are windows or vents open. They don't use a lot of propane compared to forced air styles I have had but can be...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Changing Hydraulic Fluid

    If the camper is in the raised position, the fluid will be in the rams, not the reservoir. When in the lowered position the rams are compressed and the fluid is in the reservoir. You could add a small amounts of fluid in the raised position operating the pump after each add until it reacts and...
