    Widening Ranger/Eagle jack stance for F-150

    Exactly what about it seemed to stress the frame? Was the that the leverage on the vertical aluminum corner frame members created by moving the jacks further from the center of the camper? Or something else? Having trouble visualizing what would cause the stress.

    Widening Ranger/Eagle jack stance for F-150

    I am trying to move my 1993 Ranger 2 (same profile as the Eagle) from my Tacoma to my new F-150. I'm selling the Tacoma. Does anyone know of a way to mount the jacks wider? Not to be greedy but the addition of a quick-release mechanism would be ideal. It's a 2017 F-150 6.5' bed. See attached...

    How to move camper from driveway to garage?

    Man, those folding harbor freight trailers look perfect. If only there was a way to get one in Anchorage, Alaska.

    How to move camper from driveway to garage?

    For reference, this is a good thread for this topic, even addresses the concrete lip: https://www.wanderthewest.com/forum/topic/2821-how-to-build-a-dolly/

    How to move camper from driveway to garage?

    I am trying to get my camper into my garage so no one steals it on the street. My garage door is too low to back my FWC in while on my truck bed. I also have a typical lip created by the garage concrete slab 1" or so above the driveway asphalt, and maybe a 1 degree incline on the driveway up to...

    FWC Winter camping

    Nothing to worry about with any of this stuff, other than sorting out where to store the insulation if you take it off the walls. But if its summer you don't need to bring them and if its winter then you'll never take them down anyway. No, I don't miss the windows at all and actually keep them...

    Think someone would steal a camper in the city?

    Yes, this was part of my question.

    Think someone would steal a camper in the city?

    I have a 1993 FWC Ranger 2 and love in a good neighborhood in Northwest DC (Tenleytown). I would love to get the camper off the truck which is my commuter, and that would mean leaving it in the driveway in our alley, visible from the road. I have electric jacks, that obviously don’t lower it to...

    New Dometic RM 2193 stopped cooling under propane

    That is what I am gathering. The manual gives cleaning instructions, that I have admittedly not tried yet, but effectively says what you said: if there is flame and heat (which there is in my case), then take it in for a repair.

    New Dometic RM 2193 stopped cooling under propane

    Other propane appliances on the same circuit are performing well. Flame stays lit. 9000BTU heater still works as before.

    New Dometic RM 2193 stopped cooling under propane

    It is not for lack of fuel. There are just not many resources here though I am not done looking. Running it on 12VDC for a while helped the efficiency on propane a little, but didn't solve it.

    New Dometic RM 2193 stopped cooling under propane

    Because there isn’t a repair shop where I am in Jackson, WY.

    New Dometic RM 2193 stopped cooling under propane

    I am in a dometic RM 2193 that is only a few months old, and just stopped cooling when running on propane. It might be very easily and stays lit. Dometic no longer has a phone tech-support, so I’m not sure what to do. Help! My milk is getting warm!

    Leveling blocks?

    I use rocks, and climb up on them in four-low to have more control. It gets easy after practice.

    Custom winter insulation that works great

    I used blackout fabric sewed onto the outside of the warm window fabric. It is very synthetic and I am not worried about it or the WarmWindow and moisture. It does help a little with the moisture as well. One nice feature is that it keeps a dry layer between you and the wall. I haven’t needed...

    I actually haven’t had a problem with my water lines. Though in this older model the tank is inside the outer insulation.

    Custom winter insulation that works great

    The top is designed not to allow any additional material in the fold when it collapses, so I can’t collapse the roof eith it attached. However, it’s just a matter of pulling off the 2” Velcro at the top of the sideliner, which is very easy and very easy to reattach.

    Custom winter insulation that works great

    Here is a custom insulation job I did that I've been using all winter down to 0F. I used WarmWindow from Joann Fabrics plus blackout fabric, snapped to frame behind walls or velcro to sideliner. Hired a seamstress to do the sewing with extra large sewing machine. Did the snaps myself using the...

    FWC Winter camping

    Wow that’s expensive! How well did it work? Were you able to lessen the original problem at all by protecting the flame with playing etc?

    FWC Winter camping

    Looks like obtaining relighters is no easy, or cheap task. Seems no one is making them anymore? Or maybe just for this model?
