I found it on Ebay, I will try to find the link.

nice trip, I was there at the dunes with my wife at the same time just a little ways over from you, I was part way up in those winds and got sand blasted. Here's what we looked like. I remember seeing your yellow tent and looked back at some of our pictures to see if I had some shots but only...

so you said you are almost finished huh?? that means you can soon get started on my cabinets?? :bowdown: impressive build, a work of art!

Oh yeah, I also installed this outside light, these are great, has a motion detector and came with LED, very bright and works great, recommended! It can be used normally on or set up for motion detection, and will blink red if battery levels go too low. All my light are now LED, as before I was...

Bought a bunch of containers to put our stuff into, Intalled the temporary bed and more containers for clothes, filled the water tanks and hit the road. Just in time for the Friday afternoon rush hour in the Seattle/Tacoma area in just great weather as you can see. We sat in that parking...

I wish I was posting to say that I am making great progress on finishing up the rig, but instead I am posting on more temporary items with some permanent ones too. I am just going to do projects in the truck because we are always using it instead of finishing it, which really isnt a bad thing...

Hmm, I want to say that the speed remains the same , load or not, with a canoe on the roof, I put it all the way to the drivers side as far as it will go and that hasnt affected the speed of that side, its still faster than the side that has longer wire runs, going up and down, no real noticable...

Speed during lowering is also affected, its strictly an electric control issue, and length of wire is my main issue, I will be re-working my system a little to get better results from mine and will be re sizing the wire (larger guage) and running the same length, I thought that I did run the...

I agree, it was a good price when I looked at it, and I had some great ideas for it, drove to Squamish twice from Abbotsford to check it out, but in the end it wouldn't fit my life style that I was looking for. I am glad for whoever bought it as for a local travel machine would have been...

Just a word of caution about these older canters, and Im sure Pattersonimages can attest to the sheer lack of power from these trucks, I took one for a test drive and it was obvious to me that the canter I drove would be a slow drive if you head into the mountains, now I dont drive fast but that...

I think Kerry nailed it, not a lot of FG's out there, but they are known to be reliable and maintenance free( other than normal service) depends on how you intend on driving it, a friend who owns a large construction company has a couple and he speaks highly of them, he has never had any issues...

congratulations on the truck and good luck with the build, Im in Abbotsford with a 2007 fg.Really pretty simple trucks, the only other thing that some times cause some confusion is the vacuum brake, the manual says to not leave it on while driving but to flip the lever when braking or needed...

I regularly go into the mountains with a boat in tow, we have an area of 8% grades on the Coquihalla highway here in BC, and the FG will climb that no problem but I see speeds down to 45 mph on the steepest parts, I dont understand the need to go 65mph up these grades?? I pass semi's on there...

Okay, that is what mine does, a little hesitation, then start, I will go with one and I will have an extra cable ready if needed to use the camper batteries.

reviving this thread from the dead, I am curious how those that have gone with a single battery are finding the cranking and starting of the engines with one of the oem batteries? I have recently re and re'ed my battery set up and went to one battery for starts and it seems OK, just that...

thanks for the compliments. Here are some items to complete the battery box set up, a wrap around aluminum piece to protect the battery isolator from the storage area above the box, this area is a good size for some light items, it extends up into the deck frame area so is about 12' tall by...

oh, and thanks for that Smev info Pods8, but I am going with a Force 10 cook top with broiler.

Pods8, the actuators dont rise at the same rate, I have around half an inch gap and never had a binding problem, but if you are trying to have them move at the same speed, there are speed controllers available. Another ghetto way of adjusting the speed is with longer wire runs for the faster...

look for " Lee Spring" they have all sorts of stiffness, rate compressions, and lengths available.

The boxes are mounted onto the flat deck, so really no space, but, these frames flex alot with some variables like weight and suspension, so, if you are mounting your boxes off the frame, plan on enough room to allow the system to move. Before the camper unit was mounted onto the flat deck the...
