    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West FWC So Cal Rally & Campout: Dec. 2nd-4th, 2022 (Anza Borrego Desert)

    I can vouch for these rally's. I have been attending since we started back in 2012. They are first class. Food is excellent. Catered meals. They have a great Saturday program. If your thinking of buying one or just "waiting" for delivery and are in the area, you should attend. Lots of vehicles...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West trying to understand the camper battery system

    Doff, I'm envious of the new electrical systems that the new campers have. Four Wheels video on their "Truck Electrical Camper System is very good. My 2 cents has always been to know what each of your electrical devices are drawing. Your electrical panel should allow you to turn on each...

    Thanks Ski. Looking forward to the day I can hike in the local mountains and crawl in and out of the "Outback" to sleep in it. Then we will see if my then 79 year old back is in good enough shape to travel in a camper van of some sort.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Rear suspension mods needed for Hawk Shell on 3/4 ton truck?

    My 2.5 cents worth (inflation) The 3/4 ton truck is the ultimate in hauling trucking.

He also said that the reason the a/c is always on when the vehicle is started is the alternator does NOT run below about 900 RPM so if I have...
