Don't plan on walking on the roof of either FWC or ATC campers no matter what their load ratings are.

I had bad luck with the V-Max battery (125ah). It lasted less than 2 years before loosing capacity. The problem might have been my maintenance and charging profile. I've now upgraded to LiFePo4

Memorial Day weekend Burgess Mine, Salt Tram and Cerro Gordo.

And my favorite taquerias are closed.

After watching that video I'm going out to give my 5.9 Cummins a big hug. My only problem with diesel is the price of fuel compared to gas.

I found a cheap Sprinter cover on Craig's List. It was tight but it did fit. It was a PITA to put on and take off and seemed to catch on any sharp edge on the camper or solar system. I'm glad I only had $20 invested. I would suggest that you find a cover that would be a loose fit and made with...

I carry a chain and a strap. The chain would be used if I need to winch with the high lift jack.

I agree with Craig. The wiring behind the lift panel is a poor design and used the wrong type of wire back when my camper was built. You could have a intermittent open circuit each time the roof is opened or closed.

I've wondered if that's the reason FWC went to the rounded doors.

I've had FWC repair that area twice on my camper under warranty. It was evidenced by a crack in the siding at the upper right door corner. I didn't get to see it when it was apart so I'm not sure exactly what they did.They did say they replaced a 1x2 tube with 2 1x1 tubes. In any case it didn't...

I'm in Goleta. PM me

The problem I found with the ARB suitcase compressor was the tube between the tank and outlet would clog with aluminum oxide. The tank is aluminum and any moisture that accumulates in it during decompression drains into a rather small stainless outlet tube. The aluminum oxide in this moisture...

Love it. :D

Only 2 poles of the Attwood plug are used on that year camper. Running lights came later. There should be a ShurePower battery separator in the camper that disconnects until it sees about 13v from the truck.

That's impressive Bob

I have both the Staun and ARB deflators. Two sets of the Stauns set at different pressures for the truck and Jeep. They are more convenient than the ARB so they get used more often. I check the pressure occasionally to make sure they haven't changed and they seem to hold their accuracy. I use...

I had that piano hinge push bar attachment on my '06. After having some warranty service done by FWC I noticed the piano hinge had been replaced with a heavy duty plastic hinge. That warranty work had nothing to do with that part of the camper but they replaced it anyway. When I pop the camper...

I had the same problem with the wires going to the roof. You're right, it's a poor design and uses the wrong material. The wire FWC uses is designed for rigid mounting and should not be flexed. I replaced my wiring in that area with multi strand flexible wire and tried to route it so there was...

I'll be there watching the craziness and probably be camping to the left of Hammer Town. I hope to arrive late Wednesday afternoon.

Light bar :angry:

I remove the inside knob on my deadbolt and put in a cabinet when parking in questionable area.

Mine did that when the elastic straps between the lift panel and fabric failed.

That is scary. It even tracked me in Baja where I never used my phone or credit card. Check out the documentary "The Great Hack" on Netflix to see how we are being tracked and used.

When I purchased my '06 Granby I asked the salesman for a schematic. What he gave me looked like it had been scribbled on a napkin with not nearly as much detail as Wuck's post. After seeing the actual wiring the crappy schematic was much better than the finished product. I hope FWC has gotten...
