    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West New (to me) Truck ideas and opinions

    Been awhile since I posted, but felt compelled to come to the defense of the 1/2 ton. I've got a 2007 ATC Panther on a 2010 F150, FX4, SCrew with the 5.4 engine and 3.77 rear end. The truck handles the fully loaded camper without any problems. Up hill, down hill, it's all the same. Milage...

    Several years ago, before I had my Panther, I was passed on the highway by a guy with a pop up truck camper, fully extended. He passed by doing about 70 mph, when the top started to bounce, twist and suddenly the entire top of the camper came flying off and cartwheeled down the highway toward...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West FWC Cost Compared to ATC

    FWC v ATC I purchased a new ATC Panther last fall. While money was an issue in deciding between FWC or ATC, what sealed the deal for me was working with Ben at ATC. I do believe FWC has a few more bells and whistles, but I like the simplicity and proven design of the ATC.

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Suspension air bags

    Air Lifts Paul - I installed a set of Air Lifts and they've worked out well. You can adjust the amount of air based on the load your hauling; bigger load, more air, up to 100 psi. For around town when just hauling the shell, you can reduce the air pressure and improve the ride. When on the go...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Camper Dolly

    another dolly idea I wanted to get a couple of photos loaded up of a dolly that my brother in law and I welded up. It has worked very well and when loaded with the camper, is easy to move single handed. Total cost was probably around $350 for materials. I think the key is to use quality, hard...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West better turnbuckles

    I simply run a piece of wire through the eye of the fixed bolt and the body of the turn buckle. I have driven hundreds of miles on rough forest service roads without any loosening of the turn buckle using this method. Good luck.
