    Front Runner Expander Chair Review

    Thought it might be time to update this review. It recently came time to replace our two favorite camping chairs after a decade of use. These were what I call "sling chairs" they unfold, and you sit in a semi-bucket of canvas with a canvas back. Reasonably comfortable, but not good support...

    Traveling with a dog

    For the world of dog & trucks, two suggestions: Our Ram truck has the window and door lock switches mounted on the armrests. Our dog stays in the back seat area and loves to window ride...where he can occasionally step on the window switch or door lock buttons. I decided to address this by...

    Cast iron question

    I always do a light shot of PAM spray oil between pancake sets. Also watch your temperatures…easy to be too hot.

    The Boxio camp toilet?

    Two observations worth mentioning: The Boxio green biodegradable waste bags work great IF you plan to bury or otherwise properly dispose of them within about 48 hours of first use. They can degrade quicker than you might expect in warm/hot weather. When longer storage times are required…we...

    Thinking about a Pause

    Good suggestion…I’d even go further: if road access would permit the delivery of a decent sized shed or cabin. You own the land…build there.

    I lift/lower my 35” spare easily by using some rope & my recovery pulley tied to a rear step on our FWC with a soft shackle.

    What rig is best for Pan-American highway?

    In ‘63 my dad and I drove from Costa Rica to Texas along the PanAm…in a Chevrolet Corvair. Sections were still under construction with just graded gravel. I was 9 years old. Fabulous memories! I remember my dad brought along like a case of Chicklets Gum packs which we handed out as needed to...

    2021 RAM 3500 Tradesman | AEV Prospector | FWC Grandby

    It will be interesting to see how the new shocks compare to the Blistein 5100's...which I run now. Loaded up I'm scaling at about 9700 pounds on our Ram 3500. Have front/rear sway bars. On pavement and highway curves this rig is great. Off pavement rough road crawling is fine too....but...

    The Boxio camp toilet?

    Agree. The clips provided are worthless to me. I just forgo them and lift from the bottom. A strap as you mentioned would work well.

    The Boxio camp toilet?

    Another "waste separating" portable toilet on the market. No direct knowledge about it. Figured if you read this thread...it might be of interest to you. https://www.joolca.com/products/gottago

    Just bought my first Pop-Up Truck Camper and have some questions.

    Carefully assess your specific needs as far as AC & DC power requirements and the sun availability where you typically roam. Our FWC Hawk came well optioned and included shore power & AC converter, powered roof fans, compressor refrigerator, furnace as well as a roof mounted solar panel and...

    Ruger Bearcat

    At one time I had a nice clone Colt SAA but these exact concerns made me ditch it for a Ruger New Vaquero. I also went for SS for ease of care. No regrets.

    Alaskan Campers: An Epic Overlanding Film

    I loved the "through the window/door" photos. Many a morning I've peeled back the window covering on our FWC and just thought "how great it is to be able to visit here and see this"! It doesn't matter much HOW you do it...but the memories of travels like this will stay with you and your...

    FWC Hawk: Repairs to roof and body.

    Good time for an update: The camper has been on/off the truck about 4 times so far, and I've roamed around on a couple of good month-long trips, to include mild/moderate 4 wheeling. The repairs have performed perfectly - no issues with the roof patch and the rear mounting repairs show no...
