I’m looking to swap out the overland solar mppt with a victron. Looking at zero declinations web page they sell the 712 with the VE Direct Bluetooth dongle. I’ve got no electrical skills but it reads as though this would be as simple as swapping the two units out. Am I missing something...

Considering this https://www.frontrunneroutfitters.com/en/us/front-runner-roof-rack-mounted-axe-bracket-for-slimline-ii.html I’ve had one on their roof rack on another truck, works great. Not cheap but not $300 either, I could use a quick fist to clamp about 1/3 up the ax handle as well to...

To clarify, the mount is actually made by aluminess not mule so not their fault they can’t sell it by itself.

Wondering if anyone has come up with a way to lock their shovel and ax similar to how the mule outfitters lock works on their accessory bracket. I don’t need a shovel and ax and they won’t sell the lock by itself.

I think a ramp could work. Don’t slide the bed out, use the ramp to get them up there, get them to sit or lay as far forward possible then slide out your bed. Reverse it to get them down. If they aren’t forward enough it’s not as easy to slide the bed out/in. My Griffon is young enough he...

Really strange. I’d try different turnbuckles, seems that the only way your camper could move around was if the turnbuckles were loose enough to give the camper the wiggle room. When I had my Tacoma/Swift setup the turnbuckles were always coming loose but it never shifted around. My current...

Does your camper not have the bumpers in the front at the base to keep the front of the camper from resting up against the truck cab?? When I had my Tacoma /Swift set up (2018 model camper) it never shifted.

I’d take a few photos and give FWC a call, wouldn’t be surprised if they offered to mail you out a new table/mount.

I’d look at the mount attached to the forward wall (the one the pole portion of the table slides into vertically) and see if it is level, also check that the pole is all the way in. I have a front dinette and at least in mine there is no way to tilt the table. My current 2020 Hawk being my...

Looks to me like whatever took out your drivers side mirror hit your camper. Did you take your own photos of both vehicles and the general area of the collision? What did the other vehicle look like damage wise, I have a hard time understanding no damage to the other truck, gotta at least be...

I had a Swift on a Tacoma for 2 years to now running a loaded Hawk on an F250 diesel, there is no comparison. My truck has Fords’ camper package, so payload is almost 2300 lbs. I still put airbags on it at the recommendation of Stan on here, which I feel was a good idea. Loaded down and...

Picked up the camper last Thursday, headed to the coast for the weekend. Prior to install I got the Carli commuter lift and told the installer to leave the rear springs alone. I had Firestone airbags installed as well. When I picked up my camper, I noticed a slight dip in the rear suspension...

Started doing exactly this last year and quit using my Coleman with white gas, more economical, convenient and takes up less room. As a side note blue ridge overland makes a nice case for the stove to travel in.

I took it just how you wrote it, I got the camper package so I guess it has a rear “stabilizer bar” along with a few other things. I don’t have much room to shame anyone on what they do to thier truck or how far they push it. I’d hate to see the numbers when my Tacoma was loaded with the...

I’ll be leaving the sway bar in place. No doubt a compromise cougarcouple. Im putting in a quality 2.5” suspension lift but going from an 18” wheel /33” tire to a 20” wheel / 35” tire. Not too big of a change but I’ll suffer a little I’m sure. Good to hear your report of air bags.

I only drove my Tacoma 2 weeks before sliding the camper in for 2 years and not taking it off. The rear end was too stiff unloaded. With my Tacoma which had fox shocks in the rear, Dakar extra leafs and firestone bags, when the camper was on, it didn’t bounce back too fast, in fact for me I...

I can only speak for my Tacoma, but the Firestone bags inflated to 40psi would easily put a forward rake in my truck when I was headed for a trip. When the camper was dry I'd run about 15psi, I had Dakar OME add a leaf heavy duty springs in the rear along with fox suspension. I never took the...

SuperDutyFWC, thanks for your input! After making a phone call to another reputable shop and Stan providing his input, I'm going to do the air bags. What I like is that I can air them down when the camper is off the truck and get the normal driving characteristics out of the truck. I did run...

Thanks Stan, I appreciate your input, you likely have seen more suspension setups related to Four Wheel Camper's than anyone else. I'm going to have the Firestone Air bags installed at the same time I do the lift.

SuperdutyFWC, what 2" springs are you looking at? I called CJC offroad, they do a lot of installs including some with four wheel campers, guy on the phone basically said my best option would be air bags since I'm not leaving the camper on full time. He also said no matter what, I'm going to...

Thanks for the response. That's the way I understood the rear springs added in the camper package, no lift just help with the load. I'm doing a carli 2.5 commuter lift in front, I spoke with the Carli rep and he said I could consider 3-4 inch block in the rear as the commuter lift will bring...

Nice set up! Gas has the bigger payload. The extra leaf in the rear of my 6.7 which is included in the camper package will help, I'm hoping enough for no sag.

I have a 2020 F250 6.7 diesel superduty with the camper package. Installing a lift/level kit up front and leaving the rear alone since it has an extra leaf which is part of the camper package. I'm hoping the rear won't sag at all by sliding in a new Hawk weighing 1679 lbs. It's not getting...

Just listed my Tacoma & Swift https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/cto/d/clayton-2011-tacoma-trd-4x4-four-wheel/7141282186.html Camper and Truck are sold.

I've got a Swift on a 2011 Tacoma Double Cab. I put Dakar heavy duty leaf springs with an add a leaf and firestone air bags. Truck runs fine, I actually had to slow down my driving so my gas mileage is better. You will exceed payload with it loaded up, pretty much no way around it with a...
