    Heating an Eagle

    I have the standard oem forced air heater in my Eagle, I'm considering a Wave , just not sure what size would be best. Anybody out there with this type of heater in the cold country, I'm in Colorado.

    Skamper ?

    Basically the quality and the weight. I really like their little fiberglas trailers, but doesn't fit my needs. Probably my #1 concern for any pop up is the waterproof issue/s, and when in the rare times snow/ice conditions when putting top down to get on the road.

    Two people in an Eagle ?

    I been on many different sites and I 've never heard anybody complain about cramped quarters in a Eagle. The suggestion came to me from someone who has a Dodge quad cab so he believes bigger is better , I think after I get close and personal with a little smaller it'll be fine.

    Two people in an Eagle ?

    It seems I'm waffling again , Can two people be reasonably comfortable in a FWC Eagle .I have a Ford ranger and I've been advised to buy another truck [1/2 ton something or other] and move up to a larger camper. I say no , the ranger is not a mini truck ,imo. I have 4:56 gears for the Colorado...

    True weight ?

    I also like to be PrEPARED , I have overloads and air bags. currently my hard side which I have on C/L to trade for soft side , weighs about 2300 ready to roll, I can feel the weight . but it certainly doesn't make the truck squat...lol

    True weight ?

    Thanks for the info , I think I'd rather have the living space , I can live with E/W.I was looking into bath/shower , now I believe a 8' with porta potty will be fine, That will also lesson the weight.

    True weight ?

    I'm 99% sure I 'll be purchasing used/not abused FWC , I have a F-350 cc and would like to find one I can modify the bed to north/south. It seems that brand has by far the best reviews on everything from quality to durability. Thanks everybody.

    True weight ?

    I've been looking at several different pop up brands , specifically for small trucks like ranger , tacoma , anyway how accurate are the weights the manufactures are boasting . I'm thinking the used market sellers private or dealers maybe fib a little to sell their product. One wouldn't really...

    Very nice , my other half would like the bed north/south , I agree , Been reading customer reviews on Hallmark , most are very pleased with quality. I'll check their site for a north/south bed.

    pop up's with bathrooms ?

    Thank you for reply, If I had my druthers, I would like black tank with shower in a 8' with no overhang, I have read a bit about Hallmark ,they might be out of my price range, I haven't read much on northstar. I'll have to read up on cassette toilets. Not big on porta potties but not opposed either.

    pop up's with bathrooms ?

    I'm in the market for a 8'+ soft side, but I'm not finding any with bathrooms. Generally speaking , are the campers with bathrooms longer than 8'. currently I have a hard side with all amenities , I' wondering if I'm making a mistake? Also, do all the beds go east - west ? I haven't found one...

    Best time ?

    Thanks LD , Not afraid to travel , leaving in two weeks to visit my son in Seattle , then down to the bay area in Cali. I've already looked on Craigslist in most of the major cities along my trip. Ironically as you say, most of the FWC and the like campers I see for sale are in the four...
