    I saw a post you made about the Flashcube - RV flasher module. I can't find any info about it online and the WesthaverAssociates.com website seems to be out of service. Do you know where I could find the Flashcube?

    Hello,

    I'd love to be able to participate on the forums, but I'm still in the membership queue waiting to be entered. It's been a few days now. So, I'm just wondering how long it will be until I can post on the forums. :)

    Thank you for your time and attention,
    Della

    Hey gspecht,

    I never had to repair mine where the canvas meets the top. I did have to fix a leak on mine on the roof, where the rubber roof met the aluminum.
    Have a look here

    Have you inspected the area, is the canvas not sealed on that one end? I dont think the process I used will be similar to yours, and something else would need to be done. You may want to post this is the forum as well, possibly others have had this problem and could help better.

    Hi, just joined today and see that you have a trailer similar to ours. Our story is that we are just getting back to camping after being gone for 17 years. We stopped comping after the kids were grown and married. Started riding Harleys instead! Anyway, we now have 7 gradnchildren, one of which lives with us...an 11 year old girl. So, we started thinking about camping again and had been looking around for a good deal on a Hybrid, a Keystone Cabana that has barely been used. Took her for a trip this week-end and discoved the hard way we have a leak (it had been stored inside for 2 years, really don't think seller knew) It leaks right where the canvas meets the top on one end (has two bed slide outs). I see your trailer is a lot like ours...any good advice on the best way to go about sealing the leak before the next rain? Also saw all the great recipes posted by your family. Happen to have one for making a huge batch of kettle corn in a large cast iron kettle?

    Dan,

    Yeah, mine has one fold out bed. Its real simple to use, and the great thing is that even when its folded in, you still have full use of the rest of the camper. The bed is on the end next to the table. We can use the table without limitations when the bed is up or down. It takes me 5 minutes at most to fold out the bed and set it up. There are 2 bars that support the bed on the outside and when you fold the bed down, you put the 2 bars in place, use another support bar on the inside, set your mattress in place, done.

    Mine is a 19', but I didn't get the light version. Its pretty heavy, but the 1500 Ram doesnt have any problems towing it, but I can definitely tell its back there. My truck does not have a "tow" setting either, just drive and overdrive, so I have to tow in drive so I do not wear the tranny out. I get about 6-7 MPG towing at 60-65 and its really turning some RPM's at that point, 3000 or more.

    I dont think you would kill your F150, depending on trailer weight and the particular truck you have, but if you are taking longer trips, the lighter the better. I usually camp within 2 hours of home, and the one time I hauled it 4 hours, I said I wasnt doing that again until I got myself a diesel. On the other hand, and friend has a newer F150 with all the bells and a 22-23' camper (light model) and said it tows like a dream. So much of it has to do with tow capacity and trailer weight. Good luck on your camper hunt, let us know what you get.

    Hi CT, I noticed your camper has at least one pull out bed. Are they pretty simple? Or are they a little more involved like the slide out living spaces? And, are they worth the added space that they save? I've been looking at the Jayco feather ex-port and the EXP versus the Sport, which have no pullouts. We do mostly many weekend trips, so the less "prepping" of the camper at the campground is important.

    One of the old campers that I'm looking at is a, truely, 25'(1972) Airstream. It seems to be a little too big for multiple weekend trips. I don't want to "kill" my F-150 by maxing out its limitations. If you don't mind, I was wondering what your thoughts were on these matters.
    Thank you, Dan

    I wouldnt blame anyone for moving out of Memphis, it hasnt gotten any better. It is pretty country up north, wife is from MN. Just a little cold for me during the winter. Let me know if yall are ever back in town and want to camp. We go to arkabutla quite a bit, and Enid as well.

    Hi
    Ya, we've been pretty busy lately. We've been camping like crazy and still have 2 more trips booked. 1 is in a couple of weeks and the other will be in October on our Thanksgiving long weekend. That will be it for camping until next year. We had a lot of work around the house, mostley flower bed gardens and some construction around the house. This is the first I've been back on the site for a while I guess. I've checked in once in a while to see what's up.
    Thanks for your post. We'll be talking soon. :)
