    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West major road-trip w/ my 4 year old son - CA to LA and back

    counting down the hours before we hit the road - packing up this afternoon Had to have some last minute repairs done on the Fleet. The wood on the front edge of the camper bed rotted out and the screws pulled out. I'd noticed it was getting bad a few months ago, but after the last 10 day...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West major road-trip w/ my 4 year old son - CA to LA and back

    I'm hoping to get on the river. My old AAA maps show a few ferries on the Mississippi, so I'm sure we can go across back and forth it if we want to. I'd love to get on a ferry or barge or something that could take us upstream a ways and really see the river. How awesome would it be to take a...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West major road-trip w/ my 4 year old son - CA to LA and back

    Nailing down a route. Not that it really matters, but I like to sorta have a plan... It's a bit ciruitous, and I might roll through a few of the same places twice on the way back. No matter. Here's what I'm thinking eastbound: Sonora Pass to Bridgeport/Mono Lake and on to Tonopah. 2...

    been a while... Back because we just got the Fleet back from 4WC with a new liner and folding panels. I haven't even seen it yet, but my wife is very pleased. I guess the 2nd battery system we had installed is dodgy, and Chicali tried to help my wife out quite a bit today, and didn't charge...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West intro: new guy with an older 4WC

    You've just got to bump it up a few inches in the bed to get it over the side rails. The guy I bought it from had it on a series of trucks - the last being a 2005 Chevy Silvarado. It will sit on 4" of lumber, and be bolted into the frame of the truck. I'll probably end up building a wood...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West intro: new guy with an older 4WC

    just bought a 1984 4WC Fleet for $500 from an old guy up the road, and I'm having it mounted on my 2007 F-150 today - good condition for a 24 year old camper - fridge, stove, sink, heater, full-sized bed over the cab - looks a bit ghetto, because it's narrower and a few inches longer than my...
