    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West What could I use instead of Heco -lift?

    I have a 1989 Palomino Mini -L that My wife and I used to overland from Eastern Canad to Panama to Alaska and home again. It owes us nothing. We would like to make the bed larger as it is only 42" and I think the Heco -lift is standing in my way. I am looking for adice - has anybody ever...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West FWC Ranger II Frame Repair (and continued build thread maybe?)

    OK, I decided to start a new thread and this could just turn into a continued build thread depending on how this all goes. I posted a bit ago about cracked welds in my frame that I discovered due to door misalignment and what I thought was pretty significant twisting during jacking and lowering...

    My Grand RV - Grand Design RV Forum, RV LIFE Forum Hub EZsnap window shades installed

    Mod # 56? Completed I should have installed these 2 years ago! They make a HUGE difference in the amount of HEAT coming in! The tint that is on these windows is just for looks and doesn't actually block any UV rays or any significant amount of heat. At least we have double-paned windows, which...

    My Grand RV - Grand Design RV Forum, RV LIFE Forum Hub Picking up our 310GK next week!

    VERY excited to get the ball rolling on this. Both Charlie and I (Ryan) have read a bunch, researched a bunch, but nothing will compare to actually pulling and driving the unit. Once home, I have a number of things/mods to do and starting with the rear cam install.. Hoping it DOES actually power...

    My Grand RV - Grand Design RV Forum, RV LIFE Forum Hub Just a bunch of mods for a 2400BH or anything

    We picked up our new '19 2400BH on Friday and promptly loaded it for a trip. While on the trip, during some rainy times, the work (fun work, of course) started. First thing was to install and setup the TST monitoring system for the tire pressure and temperature. Next up was the RV Lock and...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West 2012 Hawk base model - adding engel sr70 and wave 3 heater

    Hey all, after countless hours on this site I've finally decided on doing some modifications to my used 2012 Hawk found on Craigslist recently! I previously owned a finch on my taco and upgraded to hawk/tundra when I found the hawk on CL. My Finch was dialed in with no need to change anything...

    My Grand RV - Grand Design RV Forum, RV LIFE Forum Hub Pass through storage mods

    Please share any ideas you may have. We’ve taken our first trip and need to bring that area under control. Bins bought for short term solution. 2018 2250RK is the model, I believe all Imagine’s have the same storage dimensions. Thanks for any help or ideas provided.

    My Grand RV - Grand Design RV Forum, RV LIFE Forum Hub Replaced tires on Imagine, and JT Strongarms

    Well, our first few days out we had a tire flat from a rock. We ended up just replacing all of the tires since we tend to modify/upgrade our wheels/tires on campers anyway. Luckily, this time around we planned financially to have these setbacks. All's well that ends well. We also received JT...

    My Grand RV - Grand Design RV Forum, RV LIFE Forum Hub Kitchen Sink Covers

    My DH came up with this idea of storing the kitchen sink covers while not being used. I was putting them in our pantry and didn't like them there. This is handy (the larger cover you lift up and take out from the bottom and the smaller cover you lift straight up. It is pretty cool where we...

    My Grand RV - Grand Design RV Forum, RV LIFE Forum Hub Access to "inside" for running stuff

    Having the 2800BH for a couple of weeks now (and loving it) I am wondering about a few additions, many may require running some wires or mounting things. In looking at the construction there is no obvious access to where GD has run wires and such. For example, I may want to put dimmers on the...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Swivel Table Hawk Side Dinette

    Hey all, just completed a mod to my Hawk. I took out the stock single leg table which always seemed to be in the way and worst of all, not available when the dinette was in rollover bed mode. In short, I used black iron piping to create a swivel frame and mounted that to the FWC table. I would...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West my mods

    Here are some pictures of some modest modifications I have made to my 2014 Grandby: Here's my baby. It sits nicely on my 2006 Ford F150. I installed load bearing shocks (the kind with the spring on the outside) before the camper was installed. No noticable sag even fully loaded. Seems to ride...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West My '04 Hawk

    OK, so I've had it a couple of months, but there were things to be done, a truck to acquire, and we just returned from a three week trip around Utah in our new truck & camper. So, here's the story, a bit at a time. Looked around for a few months, lost out on a couple, passed on a couple. Then...
