    Congratulations on getting out there again. Health issues can be challenging, but sounds like hard work and good friends got you through. Yes, the little things like being with good people and being in the outdoors are always the best.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West I Hear A Train A Coming!

    Great video...thanks for sharing. If you're ever in southern Colorado or northern New Mexico, a ride on the narrow gauge Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railway is well worth spending a day. We started out our trip this year seeing the Big Boy as it left Roseville, CA and ended with a ride on the...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Summer weight sleeping bag with a good zipper

    Just bought two Redcamp ones for about the same price. Haven't had a chance to use yet, but headed out in two weeks for an extended trip. Figure will be probably be lucky if they last the summer. Would be interesting to know if anyone has found some they really like.

    Why all the advertisements recently? Kind of feels like our Forum has been hijacked?

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Catalytic Converter Thefts

    Having a lot of catalytic converter thefts on our neighborhood lately. Instead of the Prius, they have been targeting trucks and vans. Anyone had any experience with theft deterrents such as cables or skidplates?

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Lightroom versus Lightroom Classic

    Lightroom Classic is targeted for Desktop use while Lightroom is cloud based and more for mobile use. If you haven't used Lightroom Classic lately, they have made major changes allowing for easier masking and targeted adjustments. Photoshop is still needed for many nuanced changes, however...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Folding sink faucet

    Scott, After our last of the year trips we decided to tackle the sink thing so we would be ready to go next year. Hate to have these things hanging over us. Just thought of a couple more things. Panther RV has a video showing how to deal with the numerous gaskets the new faucet comes with. Well...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Folding sink faucet

    Removing the sink will make the project easier. In our case we weren't able to loosen the split brass nut on the plastic faucet without lifting the sink. We also weren't able to remove the drain hose from the sink fitting which complicated the project a little bit. Lifting the sink is not...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Folding sink faucet

    We replaced the plastic folding faucet which is prone to cracking & leaking with the all metal Dometic AC542 folding faucet. It does fit the oval glass top sink in our Hawk perfectly. We did remove the check valves in the 1/2"NPT male hose ends as they interfered with the factory female...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Folding sink faucet

    Thanks for the information guys. Our camper is plumbed for hot & cold water. The faucet that Vic used looks very nice but we need both hot & cold. I appreciate the repair advice using super glue but as you suspected, it is an under sink issue. I hope someone can tell us if the AC542 will...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Folding sink faucet

    The folding faucet on the flush mounted sink in our Hawk has developed a leak around the base. Suspected cause is that the plastic has cracked where the hoses are threaded in. Has anyone replaced this unit with a metal one such as Dometic AC542 or others? It has been mentioned that the brass...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Bicycle Rack Recommendations

    There's probably a lot of good options out there. We opted for a Rak Attach swing away with a One Up USA rack. We have several bikes, custom steel road bikes, aluminum commuters, gravel bikes, and vintage bikes. The One Up accommodates them all without touching the frames. It is a rock...

    Beautiful photos. Thanks for sharing your part of the country. Especially appreciated now that so much of the West is parched and dry. Nice of you to share with Carol as well.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Tahoe Basin Enhanced Fire Restrictions - No Campfires Anywhere

    There's a reason for restrictions. Unfortunately, many people are irresponsible with their campfires and the results can be devastating resulting in loss of life and in Ken Sleight's (Seldom Seen) case, a lifetime of work and memorabilia. https://www.sltrib.com/news/2021/06/16/ken-sleight-an/

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Bob’s Red Mill

    Absolutely on the Polenta/Grits... mostly a matter of how long you want to cook and stir. Have tried others, but this one works great every time and no lumps. Grits and Greens with Poached Egg on top. Yummy

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Wood River Rainbow

    Great fish. The Wood was an amazing fishery in those days. Huge fish in small water. Glad we can still have our memories. Still big fish in Agency when they aren't being choked by algae and warm water. I had a 5 pounder from the lake a couple years ago that jumped over the back of the boat...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Feb 2020 Red Rock Canyon, Alabama Hills, DVNP

    Sounds like a good trip even with the holiday crowd. We like to stop at Red Rock Canyon for lunch on the way to DVNP. Beautiful scenery and a nice place to stretch the legs with a short hike. Loved the picture of the worn out kids. Nice to get them out in the environment making memories and...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Small Camping Tables

    I agree that the director chairs with the table are the most comfortable. We have owned a set of the Coleman versions. Found that with the camper, we often haul fishing gear, waders,float tubes, and sometimes guests so space can be tight. That's why we went to the Pico chairs and Helinox...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Small Camping Tables

    Have been looking for a small camping table to use between the chairs. Always looking for something small and light weight. Found the Helinox table at the Overland Expo. Hadn't seen them before, but apparently their local office is just across the estuary from us in Oakland. Had occasion to...
