Looking forward to your build out. Like the idea of cabinet not being so deep. May make it feel a lot bigger inside.

I agree the Trimetric and Victron are great but $$$. Useful information can can be had for much less . Amazon link. $15.99

Have used freecampsites and found some good places and only one that was not good. Best app we have used is AllStays, well worth the $9.00 it cost when we bought it.

Yes you should have one or two inline circuit breakers. One my the battery in the truck and one by the isolator. Looks like this.

Another fine trip for the Ski3pins. Thanks for posting, I hope to get to DV in January.

Darn size limit, last picture.

More pictures.

NOTE: The new bracket is to hang the extinguisher on, it will swing in the camper. Off road it may fall off or at least bang the cabinet. I cut the strap part off the old bracket and added a hole for a screw. Looks like it will work OK. See pictures below.

Just got one of my extinguishers today. Came with a return shipping label and instructions to put old extinguisher in the box and to call Fed Ex for pick up. I had two and only got one. So I called and was told they are only being shipped out one to a box so may arrive on another day.

What Sagebrush said. I have the equipment and background to run the gas lines not that hard to do. Get some bubble solution to check all your joints. If you don't have one, get a propane detector and remember they have a limited life of about 5 years. They will start beeping when too old.

I would look into borrowing a set of jacks. Most of us have them off most of the time. See if anyone has a camper near you. If you see a camper not just a pop up in your area talk to the owner about borrowing or renting their jacks.

If you have the Eagle shell already. I am pretty sure you will have to build one. Not hard to do, search camper builds you will find several.

I got the email. Both of the ones I have are the straight handles. They said they will be replaced. My FWC Hawk is a 2013 and had the straight handle.

Google is your friend. That is a Hydro Flame Furnace Series BRC-10---- Link ......... Link But with that infomation I would look for a new heater.

Great survey looking forward to the results. I bought a shell but made a side dinette out of it, so I checked side dinette. Good question would have been if you bought a shell do you use it as a shell or did you build it got to a ................?

Going to bookmark this thread. I hope to go to Death Valley sometime in January. Timing depends on weather.

I straightened the roof on my old 2002 Hawk with two wood blocks 2x4 and a BIG C-clamp. Bend was in the front so I clamped from below the overhang to the top of the roof. The aluminum moves easy.

Here are two threads to keep you busy. Camper builds. Lots of good information. Ultimate Furnace Thread. You can repair your old heater or fit a new or go to a Wave heater with not motor. Take lots of pictures we love pictures.

Seat brackets came with the used shell I purchased. The shell had a front dinette that is no longer made. FWC did sell the brackets $150 a pair in 2013. I highly recommend the brackets, only down side is if in the bed position you will feel them setting on the edge.

Welcome to WTW. Several of us have done custom builds to shells. I thought I was going to do a front dinette. After the wife and I visited FWC in Woodland and got inside both the front and side dinettes I did another side dinette. Wife did not like how little room to stand there was in the front...

Thanks Frank, My camper unit and one in the garage were on the list. Site said 15 to 20 days for a replacement.

Enjoyed your report and pictures. I am hungry now, Barcelona does have some great food. Bill

Try opening a window or changing your heater from inside to outside air. My Hawk on a 2005 Tundra make a lot of noise, a lot. Found if the window was open a little it got much better. I now use a wind fairing and no noise.

Thanks for the laugh.
