    Insurance for slide in campers

    FYI- When I worked with my insurance company after a total loss of truck and camper, I was glad I had a RV policy on my FWC Eagle. The way they settled the claim was that they found 3 comparative slide in campers, similar age, size, options, that were for sale by contacting dealersand then we...

    SOLD ! Cushions for FWC Hawk bed

    I would also sell these without the foam, which would greatly reduce shipping costs. If they don't sell I'll probably throw the foam away, to reduce storage space.

    Recommendations on heaters and how to install.

    We had the propex 2000 in our previous eagle on a ranger 4x4. I built a cabinet, mounted the propex in the bottom of the cabinet and then used the supplied vents and exhaust tubing. The one addition was to wrap the exhaust pipe in automotive header insulation wrap. The propex heater uses very...

    Critique my solar charger/battery monitor setup?

    I know this is about your electric system, but the next best investment you might consider is a catalytic heater, such as a Wave 3. Rather than try to supply enough energy to the furnace, a catalytic heater will maintain the temperature with a window and vent open slightly to supply O2 and vent...

    AT Bobcat, going solar. How did you mount your panels?

    I just mounted two Rigid Renogy 100 watt panels on my FWC. I ordered my FWC Hawk with Yakima roof rails, but you can have them added or do it yourself. Next I ordered additional Yakima "A" nuts from eTrailer.com, so I would have plenty available for not only mounting the panels, but for the roof...

    Help with insurance

    National General Ins, should insure it as a RV. Call them direct, or call Good Sam Club. Plus from personal experience after a recent total lose of a Ranger Truck/FWC pop up camper combination, they pay claims.

    Storing Propane

    We were stopped at a ferry crossing in TX, because our exterior mounted tank was not hooked up to anything. They require two shutoffs to be closed, the tank valve and the valves on the appliances. We simply turned around, drove out of sight, moved the tank into the interior of our FWC and got on...

    Which Fridge

    dreadlocks, I'm not using FLA batteries, the Renogy sale is $499.99 for 2 x 6volt, 260 amp hr AGM batteries. I have 4 x 6 v FLA batteries in my motorhome, in an exterior compartment with lots of ventilation but choose to use AGM batteries in the FWC camper, since they will be inside.

    Solar build and I’m a little unsure if I have everything...

    I'm unclear if you have 1 x 160 watt solar panel or 2 x 100 watt panels according to DIY solar warehouse: "A 100 watt panel produces an average of about 6 amps per peak sun hour, or about 30 amp-hours per day." So with a 160 watt panel you should be producing 48 amps per day, you should be...

    Which Fridge

    We had a Dometic portable compressor cooler CFX 65W dual zone for almost 3 years in our Ford Ranger/Eagle Shell combination. We primarily used it "overland" style when camping (80% of the time) and also as a spare freezer refrigerator when we were not camping. The CFX 65 worked great as all...

    Propane tank location

    This appears to be a similar style to tanks on motorhomes. If so here is the fill procedure I have encountered. 1- All person out of vehicle 2- All engines and appliances off 3- The valve on the tank is closed and the filing hose is screwed into place 4- the little nut on the bleed valve is...

    F150 vs Tundra....I’ll make a decision tomorrow

    Check out Carvana. I just bought a 2016 F150, FX4, supercab XLT, 2.6 L twin turbo eco boost . We were able to look at lots of different F150 on line and found one with less than 7,000 miles on the odometer. Looks new inside and out. Carvana does a complete detail, gives you the carafe, a 7 day...

    Flip PAC for sale

    I can't say whether it will fit a Tacoma, but here are the dimensions. The bottom of the Flip-pac where it meets the rail of the truck is 74.5 " long x 63" wide. The rail of the Flip pac is 5" wide, and it fits flush on the inside on my ranger, but is a bit wider on the outside. I suspect to...
