We get some condensation, but as you say that, it’s probably just from us. I had read in several other WTW posts that they were happy with these types of systems and specifically mentioned condensation as one of the reasons. Maybe they were comparing to something like a Mr. Heater though without...

I'm looking into the "perfect" FWC build. It would not have the propane heater due to the condensation and limited fuel. Has anyone run a Webasto or an Espar? Thanks!

In another thread I explained that in investigating the conversion to a flat bed, I discovered my rig was a little portly. I've been shedding pounds and now I'm down to the safety/tool stuff I carry. I went overboard initially, even carrying an aluminum floor jack (which I actually used on...

That's a nice rig with the Dometic and the batteries. It won't last long! What are the orange loop doodads on the upper back wall? Did you fabricate the pockets on the lower back wall or buy those? Good luck!

Thanks both of you! I started digging through old links, but many were broken, hence the hijack. Lots to consider, but dropping in two 12V AGMs might be the quick and dirty for now.

My set up is super simple. I have no shore power and no solar. If I wanted to drop a LiFePO4 in and all I had was a Blue Seas isolator and didn't want to babysit it removing the fuse off and on again, what would you replace the isolator with, ideally brand specific? WOuld that change if you were...

I'd prefer to go this route as they'll last longer and I can discharge them more deeply. I assumed though that I'd have to add a bunch of other hardware. Is there a plug and play option? What if we decide to add solar later? Thanks!

According to FWC (I clearly don’t remember the physics of why this is), one 12V AGM is 75ah, two is 150ah, and 2 6v is 225ah. https://fourwheelcampers.com/video/camper-battery-power-options-agm-lithium/ EDIT: The spiderwebs are clearing. Two 6V in series = 12V with same capacity. Capacity is...

I have a 2018 Raven Shell. It has a heater, one powered fan, three strips of LEDs, and the standard back porch light. It came with a single 12V AGM, but it's getting weak. The load is relatively low, but we do winter camp, and I might add a Dometic refrigerator/freezer. I'm thinking about...

Following.

Love my eBike! We have mid-drive bikes, but from everything I've read, Aventon's are a great value!

Pics, location and price will be helpful for your sale.

And I was worried about exceeding my GVWR by 5% :lol:

We installed a front Curt receiver and use the Curt mount @Durango1 referenced the rare times when we want two spares (we can fit a full size in the original under mount). That said, if we’re loaded to the gills with both spares, 4 wheel chains, and extra water like we’d do for a winter trip...

It's super balanced, 3650/3750 loaded for the absolute worst case (2 spares, 4 wheel chains, all safety gear, lots of water, etc.) and 3400/3450 mostly unloaded. That's with both of us in the rig.

Got it. Yea, I wouldn't want a truck prone to popping a wheelie either.

What makes you say it lost weight? The GAWR F and R aren't what they do weight, but the most they should weigh. Also, where did you weigh? They seem low for a truck with the capacity to carry a Granby and the camper itself.

That's what started this whole thing, configuring my "next" rig. When I realized a Scout Kenai on a Sherptek bed plus a new reasonably configured one ton would be well over $100K, I started looking at making mine "good enough." That was the first time I weighed it. That said, even fully loaded...

I have a Raven shell with a heater. The previous owner put in a marine board counters on the heater side, a marine board shelf on the window side and a Sterilite three drawer unit near the back in front of the window. After using it for a year, I think I can do better, so I am ripping everything...

I got the paint matched exactly. The sheen was in between two levels, so we went with the flatter version. Probably should have gone with the glossier version and knocked it down with a magic eraser. Oh well. In any case, if this comes up again, here's the Miller paint formula. In a white base...

That's how I came up with the weights I posted. :)

It has the Z85 handling/trailering suspension with the off road package. The Helwigs were on when we got it. We put E rated Wildpeaks on. It drives nicely and isn't squatty at all. The only reason I even thought to weigh it was because I was thinking about getting rid of the bed and adding a...

We have a 2008 Silverado 1500, non-lifted with Helwig helpers and Bilsteins. It carries a Raven shell. The GVWR is 7000. GAWR Front and Rear are 3950. With a full tank of gas an extra 5 gallon can, a few things we never pull and both of us, we’re at 3400 front and 3600 rear, for 7000...

Thanks! I'm not sure which panel I'd remove, but I'll look to see if there's and accessible one. Auto shop next if that doesn't work.

I have a 2018 Raven shell with Silver Spur interior. I'm the second owner. The previous owner attached some things to the wall that I wanted to remove. It damaged the wall a little and of course left holes. I called FWC to find of the paint color and sheen, but they said they don't paint the...
