    RV slide in Camper - outside awning source/type/suggestions??

    http://www.busdepot.com/a7905b Give this place a look. I got one for my pop up TC and although I never used it, I know of some guys who did figure out ways to attach it to their TCs. I will say this; mine came with holes in the awning fabric and when I let the company know about it, they...

    I do believe yours is a bit older than mine, although they have the same layout. After looking at your pics, I had to go take a look at mine; my rear window is horizontal so I would have put the ac there. I have seen them with the ac in the passenger side windows and it works well that way...

    popup shadow cruiser

    I have a new refrigerator in mine so all I do is push the on/off button and set it for either electric or gas (another button). A pic of you reefer might help someone to tell you what you need to do.

    New owner of a 1991 shadow cruiser.

    I have that same camper, check your data plate for a manufacture date. Mine's a 93. My first pop up had a small ac unit mounted in the rear window and it worked great on shore power. I didn't have a gennie at the time so I never tried running it on a gen. My SC has no air but we make do with...

    I almost gave up.....

    Shooting Jack, check your heater for mud dauber nests. In my first tc, my dh found tons of them, hard as concrete and had to hammer away at them to get them out and finally got my heater working. My Shadow Cruiser came with a non-working fridge; I opted to replace it with a new one from ebay...

    I almost gave up.....

    I have a '93 Shadow Cruiser very similar to yours; I take the feet off the jacks and then swing them up and into the loops to hold them while driving. You loosen both bolts and remove the inside ones, swing the jacks up on the outside ones and retighten them. I know what you mean about it...

    How far did you travel to pick up your camper?

    Bought first one off Craigslist, it was about 15 miles away and the owner even delivered it for me. Second was farther about 200 miles round trip, bought it off ebay. Second had lots of pics and I phoned the owner with my questions. I took cash with me because I knew after talking to the guy...

    Jacks down while still on truck?

    Thanks. I figured it was just to help keep the whole thing a bit more stable. Since we're not too bothered by the small amount our camper rocks I think I'll just forgo this practice. But it's good to know about.

    Jacks down while still on truck?

    Question: I saw a pic somewhere that had the camper jacks down while the TC was on the truck while camping. Is this ok or a big no no? I'm assuming it might have been an attempt to help reduce the amount of rocking while folks are going in and out of the TC?
