I do get water intrusion sometimes, and it comes in through the front driver side window. However it only comes in when the camper is closed up. It's a leak I have been going after for like two years now. recently I realized the leak is water getting to the outside part of the vinyl, then...

I have a question about folks leaving their bedding (blankets/sheets, not pillows) on their bed when they close up their FWC. I have a swift shell and up until a few weeks ago, when I asked the FWC Facebook group about a leak problem, I was under the impression that anything on the bed when...

Thanks, I ended up picking up the standard and I’m finding the dropped packet issue isn’t as big of a problem with the standard dish, some small tree obstructions. I’m finding the power draw and size weren’t as bad as I thought it was going to be. With the standard when I’m on a video call or...

Ha yeah zscaler was hating life, so I ended up switching over to doing Slack calls on my iPad/personal computer but I still had the same problem. The speeds on the work computer were like 1 mb/s down and never got the upload speed because it was so slow I gave up. But on the personal stuff it...

I picked up a Starlink Mini the other day and tried to use it today for work stuff at home and was having some issues making video calls. Basically the calls were super laggy/dropping completely every few minutes. With ping tests I was losing 40-60% of my packets and after some research that is...

Thanks that does, I spent a bit of time digging in the app/webpage today and felt like I was just missing something. However it sounds like it could just be something that's not there currently. How you use it is generally how I use it since most trips are within 10/12 hours to get where the...

I've never heard of this one and I'm digging it. So I'm having a hard time getting OnX to do a route from a start point to an end point. Generally (both the phone app and computer browser) I just get a as the crow flies straight line. On the laptop if I click on the line just right in certain...

Hello, I'm planning a trip from Raleigh, NC to the Big Bend National Park area in West Texas. My plan is to be in the BBNP area for 2 weeks and I plan on taking the fastest route available to get there. Using Apple Maps or Google Maps makes it easy enough. However what I'm having a hard time...

Thanks! I kept trying to figure out if I was way off but that's what I kept thinking. That original setup idea with the 1000w portable power station and 100w portable solar panel was the plan with the Gen2 (plus laptop charging). With the mini the power draw seemed way lower wattage wise, but no...

I have been going through everything I could find on YouTube and the googles and I'm not finding anything that really eludes to suggestions or a lot of info for what I'm looking for, I understand the Starlink Mini was released and that is probably the main reason along with my lack of knowledge...

Have you attached things like the d-rings or footman loops to the floor? If you did, was it just a standard wood screw that you used? Also what size of screw did you use? -George

That's other location I'm looking at, but with the Swift my 45l fridge takes up almost the entire side. The debate is to put it up there and build a storage under the cab window or have the fridge under the cab window and use that whole side for storage. As I asked the person that mentioned they...

Thanks a ton for the photos. That's where I have been landing on keeping the fridge permanently and never thought of the rotopax behind the fridge. For the Swift Shell that seems to be the best spot for it, but I'm not going to make anything permenant for a bit. With that is your fridge...

Thanks a ton for sending that!

@ramblinChet what spacers did you use? I have the left side bracket coming at some point this week and just noticed this thread. I assume I'm going to have the same issue since that is the side with the solar plug. The right side was on back order and they didn't know when the next order was...
