    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Upgrade Running lights

    Do some testing with a meter first. Since these campers were made in multiple areas of the country there are many different styles of how people did things, not to mention someone coming in at some point and doing a repair. I personally didn't want to use the camper skin as a ground so I ran a...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West It Raises, It... Wait, no it does not!

    Not sure how much digging you've done into the condition of the wooden structure but feel free to take a look at my website where I documented my rebuild of a supposedly 1981 CO. I had a lot of rot issues. I went through the cleaning and lubing procedures but my rails all seem to be fine...

    I have an Garmin Overlander and I purchased the compatible Garmin wireless camera. Just needs power. I put a switch up in my F350 cab and control the ground to the relay that supplies power to the camera and then switch my Overlander to the wireless connection app.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Anyone know the specs on older Alaskan heaters

    Currently on my maiden RV voyage in Quartzsite AZ in my '81 8' C/O. I also removed the propane heater however I replaced it with a Chinese diesel heater. Added an Afterburner for ease of adjustment and I'm quite satisfied with the performance.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Heating your camper

    I've seen Chinese versions that include a water circuit but they're a bit more expensive. Once they refine their design and the price comes down I'll be looking into upgrading into one of those units. Mr. McLucky who sounds like Scotty from the Star Trek remake has done some videos so you can...

    No pictures of the original unit but it did reside under the Dometic 100 Series Porta Potty in the passenger right rear area of the camper. Will have pictures of what I'm planning soon and will share them at that time.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Electric hydraulic pump failure with top up while camping - what to do?

    You could try using a small hydraulic car jack and a 2x4 (I used different lengths front and rear) to raise the roof up a bit and get the pin out. I used the front arch at the edge of the CO and the beams in the rear when I was rebuilding my pistons O rings. My system is completely hydraulic...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West is there a water pump switch for 2002 alaskan?

    Not sure about yours but in mine there is. It's mounted on the external lower verticle face of the side with the sink assembly. I'm currently rebuilding mine (an early 80's 8' cab over) and want to move it to a position where it can't be accidentally turned on which would cause it to run...
