Nice. I can see I need to revisit the Sherptek solution as the original dropsides didn't seal.

Welcome to the thread, @nmorrill25. While I can't answer measurement questions, so other can could you confirm that the Bowen bed you are considering is the bed for slide-in campers, that keeps stock bed height, compared to a Bowen flatbed? And for 6.75' bed rather than longer (they make many...

Hard to pin down a perfect rule of thumb but most say 50% to 70% load is ok for accessory load, but it depends on many things; underhood and alternator temps, idle rpm vs driving rpm (higher-than-idle rpm is better) and relectric load duration (minutes vs hours on end). That being said, 100amps...

@twowheels19 We've discussed it directly, but for other readers, I'll mention that STC doesn't retrofit A/C units to Flagship campers because retrofitting the wiring is a challenge. So, everyone be sure to keep that in mind when deciding on camper options. There is a non-advertised "A/C prep"...

Well, you basically have two monocoque shells joined in this case. Does that count? Ha. There are no internal frames or other structure for the vacuum-infused tub nor the one piece upper half. The two structures are bonded around the entire seam, on two planes, with the proprietary process. And...

I forgot to specify the specific Hitch extension that was my starting . I bought a "Brophy Hitch Reducer and Extender - 2-1/2" to 2" Trailer Hitch - 7" Long" from eTrailer. The 7" is how long it extends reach vs my comment of it being about 12" long overall. Brophy spec says 6" pin to pin. I'll...

Hi @KRRL Yes, that is my LT in the Camper Van Expo picture. My fourth step is a custom weld. A three-step step stool was tall enough for our previous campers and pickup, but the Superduty is taller as is the floor height of the Flagship (with basement). You can make the step up from the...

The other Victron components are needed because they are not within the Victron batteries themselves. That is how the Victron batteries can be so compact. Sensors and communication board are still inside the batteries, but the main components are outside of the battery (main BMS, a Battery...

@roamie These last few months, I've been busy at work and cramming on some fun camper vacations, but I'm hoping to elaborate soon on a few more of STCs newer options. Truck Camper magazine did a high level overview a while back, which was very nice to get the word out, but I'm hoping to dive...

Someone off the FB group recently stopped at our place so we could jack up his camper and adjust bed mat. He let me post this image on FB so imagine he'd be OK with here as well. Gray camper on white truck is very nice looking.

Oh nice. Good to connect the dots. We've talked in the tremor camper thread (I'm Chadx on that forum as well).

I've no problem sharing the story of how I've built a relationship with STC. The relationship and communication channels have built over time, originally out of being a potential owner. That started with online research but before putting in an order, we wanted to see the Flagship in person. And...

Like @SimplyAnAdventure says, straight from the folks at STC. I'll review my original post and update to make it more clear.

@Fueggia I looked at the specs of your Panasonic and unfortunately, the dimensions are larger than what the appliance shelf will accommodate. The appliance shelf has four strap holes. The width between slots (left to right) is 16 7/8" from outside of the slot openings. Width between slots is...

We are simpletons. Ha. And, we don't make much garbage. We use a plastic container meant for dry cereal, pet food, etc. It's about the size/shape of a cereal box. A leftover plastic grocery bag is a perfect liner size. We place it on the floor against the driver's side bench. That is where our...
