    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Camp Bike 2009 Kawasaki KLX250SF

    Have to admit I've given something like some serious thought. Lots easier than towing the Jeep. It has worked out quite well for us but age and hip replacements are making us a little nervous about the bike these days so I guess we will have to go the tow route.

    I use a Black and Decker Inverter I picked up at Lowes that I keep hooked to the house battery in the camper. I run a 90 Watt laptop on it regularly but mostly I use it to charge the laptop. If powering the laptop and network card you will probalbly have to keep the truck running to keep the...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Lake Powell Info Needed

    I am planning a trip to the Lake Powell area in early fall. Not familiar with the area. I will be hauling a 20' cuddy cabin boat behind by F250 4x4 with Alaskan C/O. I am particularly interested in remote or semi-remote areas where I could launch the boat and set up the camper in the same area...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Used Alaskan pricing and inspection

    Several years ago I picked up a 1984 8' C/0 for 1500.00 but it did need some work, mostly because a previous user had started refinishing / rebuilding cabinets. One thing to check on that I haven't seen mentioned is to check the rear width of the Alaskan against the rear width of the truck you...

    I know this may sound weird but IF the burner is working (or the electric element) and IF the sealed system hasn't developed a leak (no icepick holes from defrosting the freezer, ouch.)Then try "Burping" the unit. Remove the refrig and turn it upside down for a day or two, then try it again...

    My CO sits in a F250 Super Duty Crew Cab and I also carry a 300# bike and rack. The only suspension mods I made were to add air bags which I run at about 80PSI. Ten ply rated tires of course. No problems on or off road. Pic in 'Show your rig.

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Alaskan Camper Alignment

    My 8' CO has to be blocked up for the CO to clear the cab so I have 3x3's bolted to the camper floor from side to side. After setting the camper in the bed I drop a 4' 2x4 between the wheel wells and the sides and then moderately tighten the chain and turnbuckles I use on all four corners. This...
