I threw one of those 8012 2's in my shell model. It works great, even if I haven't used my camper after a couple years. That doesn't happen very often, but once in a while, women can get in the way. I mean the X, not women in general.

Don't know much about the roof lifter helper shock thingys, but it was good to meet you today. I'm the guy on the honda Trail 90 at the platform by the beach. I'll occasionally post on the 4 wheel camper site of this forum. My 9 year old daughter and I frequent the desert in season and the...

Thanks everyone for the info. I will be leaving tomorrow morning around 4am for Death Valley back country with my daughter. I'll take care of this screen door thing when I get back. If anyone sees me with a beautiful 8 year old little girl around Eureka valley/racetrack/ lippencott/saline...

Thanks Rob, I'll check it out further. Now, what do you do with the old door? Guess it would make a good door for a playhouse for my daughter. Hayduke

I'm sure someone knows what's involved in having a screen door installed. I didn't get one when I bought my shell back in 1996. Every year I regret it. Do you have to take the door off to install the screen door? I'm tired of the roll of netting I use that's velcroed above the door and along...

Hey Will, Thought I knew you. I worked as a medic w/ AMR when you did. Hope you are doing good. I'll be going to Death Valley here for a week. Maybe I'll be able to make an effort to see those bags at some point after. I'll probably try to check the leaf spring assist idea of Clarks too. Thanks...

brett It's appreciated. Thanks for the info. I'm leaving for a 9 day round of Eureka/Racetrack/Hunter Mt./Saline Valley on April 10th with my 8 year old daughter. I'll have one more trip leaning to the left before ordering some bags. Is anyone else gonna be skulking around out there during this...

Ha. well, on the same topic, I replaced my rear leaf springs 10 years ago w/ aftermarket leaf springs from an outfit that sold aftermarket toyota mods. My original leafs on my 99 Tacoma just couldn't handle the weight of my shell model fwc and the truck was riding dangerously close to the tires...

bsharp in Santa Cruz, I think I might know you from past. I work in fire department in Aptos. I'd like to see those airbags. My truck has been leaning to the left for several years and need to address the situation. I'm in a white 99 tacoma w/fwc on it. Leaving for Death Valley in a week w/ my 8...

Somethings fishy around here. Thought this was a thread about tie downs and turnbuckles.

Hamm, beautiful install. Looks like you know what your doing. I'm impressed. Anymore photos of future installs will be appreciated. Hayduke

Thanks D.D. Thought I was in trouble there for a while. Again, no more naughty words from my mouth. Sometimes the wife can drive me to that. I won't drag you all through it though. Happy Trails...

Mark, don't know what a pig ticket is. I appologized and won't say/write that word again. I'm a vile creature and sometimes have to watch my p's and Q's, or in this case my F's, B's and D's. Hopefully enough said, but please clue me into what a pig ticket is. I can't wait. Hamm, no problem...

Sorry bout that. You are right. Won't happen again. Hayduke

I have empathy for hamm. If he hasn't already done so, He is about to bestow the wonders of a fan forced heater onto his road home. Not only that, but there is the inevitable cutting holes in his 4wheel. kinda a two way street. Hopefully, I'm not the only one here who has begged his Karma to not...

Hamm, sorry it took a while to get back to this post. I believe my Atwood is a model 8012 11 but I'd have to look. It has the lowest amp draw I could find. At work right now, then leaving town for a funeral service tommorrow. If I get the time, I'll try to get some photos of my install soon. I...

Hamm. I did the same in my shell. I used the Atwood. Can't remember the model#, but it had the lowest amp draw I could find for a 12k btu output. The unit I have works flawlessly. I have it hooked to a thermostat, and it fires right up everytime. I'm a firefighter and am at work for a couple...

Thanks guys. Good food for thought. I'll post if I follow through on this. Hayduke

Hey all. I'm still alive. Just been viewing (a lot) I have a shell FWC on 1999 Tacoma that I have customized inside. I love it and have used it a lot, but It's getting to be a real pain in the arse to take off and put on, especially with my hydraulic jacks. Those things are 11 years old and...

Nevermind. I saw where it is. Hope Galen buys it. Good Luck Hayduke

So where is this Hawk located? I know a guy w/ a Ford F150 who's in the market. HHe lives here on the central coast of Calif.

Christmas is coming Won't someone please buy that thing for me as an early Christmas present? I won't ask for nuthin else, I promise.

Hey Chnlisle More family dynamics and another death has kept me on the outside looking in. I've only used my camper once in nearly two years, but I, on a regular basis, have been visiting the posts, living vicariously through you all. Eventually, I'll start posting again and get back in the...

I was out in front of the Fire Station where I work in La Selva Beach by Aptos, Ca. and saw an older Grandby on a white Chevy (I think). If you are on the board, say hi. You were on the phone as you went by, otherwise I would have stopped you to say howdy. That's a nice looking camper. Hayduke

I was gonna say, I marked mine years ago with an indelible marker (aka permanent marker). RF means right front, LR means left rear. and I marked "top" on the top. Then drew an arrow on the flat surface to indicate tighten direction. Never had any doubts since. Good luck
