    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Propane Tank Leak

    I noticed a small propane leak on my Hawk on the last trip we took as well. Ours appears to be in the camper system somewhere because the odor goes away when we shut off the valve at the tank. I haven't gotten into investigating it yet, but have been meaning to post here for ideas for any good...

    We use a double thermarest pad that's about two inches thick that we bought some years ago- it looks like you'd have to buy two singles if you wanted to go that route now since I don't find the doubles on their website anymore. The one we have is probably similar to what's currently called the...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Ham Radio Antenna Placement?

    Any hams out there? I just got my ticket last month and am researching radio and antenna options. While I've narrowed the radio choice down to a dual bander, I'm stumped on the antenna and mounting options with the camper. From what I've read, a good option is a 5/8 wave like the Radiall/Larsen...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West simple air dam idea

    I wondered how much overhang there is on these campers. On my FWC shell due to relatively short overhang, I had room on my truck to install one yakima roof rack and put a fairing on it. Essentially, they sell pieces of lexan that mount to the rack at an angle and the air is deflected up and...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Anything you'd do different?

    I find I like to sleep in my Hennessey hammock when I can though. Brian, that is cool. I sleep like a baby in my Hennessey. Did you install that hardware yourself? Is it bolted through? What's that bracket called and any idea where might I find one similar? It would be nice to have that...

    Fiamma Awning Brian and WarpathEngineering: The previous owner bought it from FWC after his Eagle purchase and did the install himself. I just checked the paperwork he gave me and found a receipt for $585 in 2004. I remember him telling me he paid extra big bucks for the reflective silver...

    Fiamma awning pics davinski, here you go. You can adjust the legs to shed rain if need be. It self supports for a bit without dropping the legs. The last pic shows where the bolts come through inside- these are for the middle support where the bed slides out. I cut the ends off with a...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Awnings

    This is a great thread, thanks to everyone posting their solutions and ideas. Our used shell model came with the Fiamma side awning and it's sweet- very easy, simple, and elegant if I do say. But like others, I think the rear awning's critical for rain, especially. jimjxsn, thanks for posting...

    Hella Worklight Wiring b team, I like what you did with the lights - nice install. I'm also thinking to follow your lead- swap out the dual beam hella for the porch light and move the porch light under the awning. I could really use some back-up lighting and figure the hella would work well...

    Damn, what I have missed in the last few weeks! Ben, the pushbar is in, no problem and works like a charm. How could it be otherwise with the parts you provided (including spares), and detailed instructions? :D craig333, thanks for the user report, I will be fearless from now on :)...

    Ben, Thanks for the install notes and replacement pushbar. Your package arrived the other day and I got to open it this morning. Perfect! This will be a great help- kudos to you and Marty for going out of your way to offer your aid. The camper cavalry act that you two have going on is much...

    Aha! That would be sweet if that would work, good thinking! :) I just came in and was about to post that my 2.5 gallon blitz can fits nicely in the propane box, with plenty of room for another. When empty I could hang them off the back of the camper in a gunny sack of some sort until my budget...

    Possible fuel carrying options II KC, hey, thanks for the hello and generosity in sharing your thoughts on this. :) In your position I’d likely have a similar view. Since I’m building from scratch I have more latitude in considering alternatives, especially with the previous owner throwing...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Lifting the top of the FWC

    Ben, thanks for your detailed reply. The previous owner of my camper apparently removed the push bar from the front panel because he'd hit it turning over in bed. I'd forgotten this detail- no wonder lifting the front is a bit awkward for me! I've put a stick in the front of the bed drawer and...

    When you first get in the camper sqat down at the back, keeping back straight and put hands on the push bar. Stand up lifting the roof as you do, once the roof is up all the way, take one hand and push the back panel to lock it. At this point the back panel is tight, do not try to pull it...

    The cargo bar won't help with lowering the roof- it's built as a spreader only. While it would be great if it worked in both directions, I have a tougher time raising the roof than lowering it, and for this purpose the bar seems promising. I'd be cautious about trusting it to lift much more...
