Coast to Coast - 3 Weeks on the road from VA to CA

Just returned from my first major trip in my FWC. We created a blog for the trip at www.clcrosscountry.blogspot.com

What a great trip. Sounds like you had a great time. I've always wanted to see the worlds largest ball of twine. Thanks for the pics. It is a for sure on my list of things to see.

Cheers,

Mike

Congrats on the new ranger II, erod, hope you like it.

I saw a handful of other FWC's on my trip. I never got to meet any other owners face to face but it was cool to see them on the road. I even saw one setup on a late 80's Chevrolet Full size near Denver for $4500. I was tempted to fly back out and buy it

thanks for the congrats...we are really happy with the new camper. looks really similar to yours with the modified wings...but yours is definately newer looking just at the pop up fabric. sounds like a similar situation too what you ran into, we just found a deal we couldn't pass up...i had a feeling all this time searching would pay off ! i would love to see some interior shots if you have any...i am trying to figure out what to do with the space between the counter and the slifing window...thinking about a pantry or something similar...any ideas? cheers and welcome back....we are headed out on a month long journey to maine at the end of july and starting a blog seems like a good idea to document the adventures. thanks again!

I used some nylon strapping material and self tapping screws/washers and mounted a battery charger in that little space. I wish I'd taken some pictures before I pulled it and the porta-potti out of it. I put the porta potti in the floor against the front and put 2 eye-bolts in the floor with a strap up and over it to hold it in place, worked wonderfully.
