If you want to increase storage inside the camper, take a good look at the counter construction as there is a lot of wasted space. Example; on my 2005 Hawk the forward most cabinet was narrow with a walled of section. Had to work on the water pump, so I removed(tore out) the walled of section...

Looks like a deal but there are small differences between the SC and the EF series. https://irp-cdn.multiscreensite.com/682900dc/files/uploaded/Yamaha%20vs%20A-I%20Power%20Comparison.pdf

Gauge is not indicative of a "propane Charge", just indicates whether the burner is lit or not.

If the gauge is like the Norcold fridges use, it works by sensing heat. Needle in the green means burner is lit, red means burner NOT lit. Could be the above mentioned items or bad sensor sending bad/no signal to the auto shut off valve or possibility the auto shutoff valve is faulty. I would...

Another issue that has a huge affect on charging is shading of your panel. Most of us like to find a nice shady spot when camping which directly impacts the amount/rate of charge. Hook up a volt meter to your panel output and just shadow the panel with your hand or a sheet of paper, you be...

Is the truck equipped with the payload package? Nice Hybrid, good eats.

Since welding appears to not be an option, I would make gusset plates and pop rivet them in place. JB weld products for the most part will crack when flexed. I would use 5200 in conjunction with the gussets, it bonds extremely well and will remain flexible. Rough up all contact areas with 80-120...

AS climber rob said, put it on a low platform. Then remove the jacks and orient it or block with something so a truck can't back up to it. Maybe invest in a game camera or similar thing so you can monitor it or at least get an ID if something did happen

I'm trying my best to minimize my camping equipment. Please don't tell me about another thing I need. LOL

After looking at Hults Bruk(Aneby) and Gransfor Bruk(forest Axe), I settled on Council Tool's Pack axe(24"). Great quality, U.S. made, perfect for processing campfire wood and enough heft for splitting . Couldn't be happier.

Don't own a Noco jump starter but my 8 yr old Noco 7200 charger has been excellent.

Thanks for the info, will have to set aside that date next year. Where in Ark do they meet? One of my favorite states for camping.

How did I miss this? Was it posted on this site? Oh well, next year. Need to adjust the date for cooler weather.

During the last week of a month long trip I started to pick up on an acrid smell, especially in the cabinet next to the 3 way fridge(which was running on propane) and around the outside fridge vent, fridge cooling was not up to par either. Noticed the burner flame seemed a bit soft but nice and...

I've got Rockford model that's rated to jump start small V8s but I've used it on my 6.2 gasser with no problem and it has jumped several other small cars. 3 years old, still takes and holds a charge very well. I would avoid the cheaper off brands as they don't have a good reputation for battery...

If your looking for a permanent installation this is what we install in rescue boats on the aluminum floorboards. It is highly resistant to oils and gasoline, etc. although it will stain. Just clean the surface, peel and stick, Quite durable. https://www.hydroturf.com/

A big concern would be, how U.V. resistant it would be relative to the fabric currently in use, which seems to have very good longevity..

If you have a lot of 12v electrical appliances and want the 5th wheel electrical connection to charge the house battery, keep in mind it has 14-12ga wire on the charge circuit(check to see if the factory harness has heavier ga wiring) which will limit the amount of charging that will take place...

1 more thing, whoever did this used an older tank connector that screws into into the female threads on the tank valve rather than using a newer style that threads on the outside male threads, When you unscrew it, it will have reverse threads.

I'm guessing the old regulator went bad and the owner went the cheap DIY route. Pretty rough job but looks like he put in an extra tap so he could access propane for a lantern or outside stove. Like Montana wrote, turn off and disassemble, redo to your liking. You can buy a flex line to run...

I've been considering doing the same on my Hawk so I can replace the horizontal tank with a standard 20lb. Vic, can you please provide the source for the new door assy. Are you planning on sealing the compartment air tight to prevent propane from leaking into the interior of the camper?

A good hardware store or even Home Depot sells mill finish aluminum angle. Cut it to length, drill holes, deburr, prime and Paint. save the shipping $.

More info is required. What is the bench? Can you provide pics?

If you are planning on eventually getting a lance camper, why not go ahead and get a 3/4 or 1 ton truck that will accommodate that camper and still be usable for the fleet??

There are several of us on this site that carry inflatable kayaks and other inflatable craft. Glad you found something to get on the water, it will expand you camping adventures.
