Camper has been sold.

Just listed the camper on Craigslist and Expedition Portal.

A couple of things I forgot to mention. We never used the table furnished by FWC, and eventually got rid of it. I bought the hardware for a Lagun type table, but never installed it. That comes with the camper also. The barrel bolt (a poor design) always vibrated out when traveling and...

Pix, I hope!

pix, I am trying to add picture, but am ignorant.

2010 Four Wheel Camper, Hawk Model, $13,500 Very good condition and loaded with most options available except for the roof rack. The queen bed is still there, but we have gone to a double mattress so as to be able to leave the bed made up and not have to deal with the queen bed extension...

'09 power wagon/hawk, 9,000 lbs loaded. Toyo ATII 12:50×17×35 tires. Run 55-60 psi on pavement and around 25 psi in baja off pavement and AZ desert. Tires have to flex to absorb washboard, and enlarge footprint to float on sand. Letting out a few lbs does not accomplish this. If I were to run...

I am Mike from Mesa, also bajaxplorer or bx (ham handle). The switch I used from Amazon was the Cyron RC2-12, because it was rated for 20 amps. Don't know if additional amps matter, but I have been using it for over 3 years without problems...

Have reserved space #78, looking forward to hanging out and talking FWC adventures. BX

KC, You old buzzard, how's it going? BX

I don't want to cramp anyone's style or impose on anyone's privacy, but if you have a suggestion or tips on camping near the expo, I'd appreciate it. I'm not at all familiar with the area. In looking at the aerial photo of the expo I'm now thinking I might want an option other than the on-site...

We'll be camped nearby in the forest and spend saturday at expo (same as last year).

*Bump* Gene, We're planning a Denali trip and wondered if you (or the rest of you who have been there) thought the Kenai peninsula was overly touristy or worth the trip? As much as we would like to take the truck and camper, due to time constraints we'll probably have to fly and rent a car...

Heading out first thing in the morning, first stop Hoover Dam to see the new bridge. We will take Hwy 93 all the way to Kalipell and Glacier Park. So glad to finally be done preparing and get on with it.

I'll be interested in hearing about the roads and the fishing. What are the licensing reqs in YT for non-resident fishermen?

I'm glad I got my rear floods. Was great for setting up my BBQ @ night. Lights up the whole area I agree on the rear floods. I have an RC remote switch in the cab so they make great backup lights.

Been preparing for this trip. Another four weeks to go. Had the truck tuned up and got new tires this week. Dodge doesn't provide wheel well liners on the rear and gravel, mud gets slung everywhere. I put some on recently as I figured the gravel would really eat up the paint and sheet metal...

Thanks for the road update. Currently 102 here, could use some of your rain. Glad we are not heading that way for another four weeks. It will be August by the time we get to WL. Looking forward to a visit. By then the Campbell should be good for us. Michael

Fridge/Freezer, no more shopping for ice.

Hello Henry david, There are hundreds of places to spend the winter in the Southwest. Depends a lot on what you like. The BLM areas near Quartzite are good, the farther you go out of town the less people. KOFA Wilderness south of Quartzite has some great spots. There are many places along the...

Ted, our route plan is in the blog. Be gone from mid-July until late September. We will be into Yukon 8/3, Inuvik 8/9 and Fairbanks 8/18 to pick up Amy (wife) at airport, then Denali 8/21-8/24, McCarthy-Valdez 8/27-9/1 and Kenai 9/3-9/8 (approx). I think we will all be checking each others posts...

Back in winter 09-10, I was planning a trip to Alaska. I had to cancel that trip due to overspending on home improvements. Well, the trip is back on and I will have company. As luck would have it a friend, Al, retired recently and he will be making the trip too. He has been wanting to do a very...
