    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Solar Panel Mount on FWC Roof Question

    I think that may be the case, the panel is narrower than the tracks.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Solar Panel Mount on FWC Roof Question

    OK, 100 watt Renogy rigid panel is ordered. Curious how you all have mounted rigid panels on your FWCs. I have a '17 Fleet with Yakima tracks. I have one rear roof vent, and do not have one over the bed. Prefer not to add holes to roof and wish to use the Yakima tracks. Advise appreciated.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Anyone install cargo track inside their campers?

    US Cargo Control, about $6/foot, I put in two 4 foot tracks and about 6 singles with rings and hardware for around $100. Very happy with the utility of it and looks.

    I bolted a plate under the seat or hangover on the right side next to the jack plate. I use a Wavian jerry can holder bolted to the jack stand and sitting on the plate.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Roof panel edges.

    My 2017 Fleet has it too, I spoke with Aaron at FWC, he said that the roof panel wraps over, then the trim is put down over it with butyl tape (I think that is what you are seeing), then the white sealant is urethane caulk for a nice finish. He said it was not going to leak, so I am leaving it...

    I put 2 strips in low just above the turnbuckle access door and then singles up higher through the interior siding to the aluminum framing.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Nissan Frontier Suspension Setup

    Are your tires E rated? I spoke with BFG and gave them the front are rear axle weights and they told me 50psi when loaded front and rear. I would go to a scale and see what you are dealing with. Then call BFG. As far as the bags go I try to get it level side to side and front to back...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Nissan Frontier Torklift Front Frame Mounts

    I have a Fleet Shell, I had the dealer install 4 eyebolts through the bed. They used aluminum backing plates. Did a bout 10k last summer, including fire roads, and some trails with rocks, no problems at all. Enjoy the new camper.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West MaxTrax recovery boards mounting

    I have the Maxsa, 32F and they flexed well, I have heard that some of the imitations will crack, so far so good on these. They seem softer and bend well. I have used them a few times on rocks, dirt and sand. So far so good.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Latch Relocation

    I moved mine on my Fleet for an awning. When I took the latch off, I found butyl tape, so I used the same under the latch when I reinstalled it. Don't forget to seal up the old holes.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West MaxTrax recovery boards mounting

    I roofed mine on my FWC. Didn't need them, but I agree that it would be a major PITA to get them down, I do carry a very thin folding ladder. Curious, is the drag much different if they are mounted on the side vs roof? I am considering using some 80/20 aluminum slotted track between the...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West FWC Camper Weight

    Just adding to the knowledge: 2016 Fleet Shell Only option is battery and lights. Tag says 660lbs. With Jacks and battery it weighs in at just under 800lbs. So, minus jacks and battery, 660 is about right. The gear all adds up fast. I may or may not have weighed it at 6600lbs with passengers...

    OK, I was able to make 50 pics/videos into a movie and post on Youtube. This is part 1, July 5 to about July 13. We made a stop on Martha's Vineyard to finish up prep work on the truck and camper and then ditched the dog with friends on Cape Cod, then took about 4 days to get to Colorado...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Camper on jack stands

    Looks like the perfect set up. I just made a cart and was planing on leaving it on the cart in the garage with the four corner jacks just touching the floor with a little pressure. I have a front hitch too, amazing when I had to move the boat around the yard (sadly the boat is gone now). Be...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Nissan Frontier - New to Fourm- Supension Upgrades Needed

    Hi Ken, I have a 2016 Frontier CC LWB with a Fleet Shell as well. I travel on and off road and spend about 6 weeks in the camper last summer logging about 10k miles. The truck is long and a lift will certainly help navigate off road. I have a 2" basic lift with stock shocks and springs up...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Turnbuckle Question

    The Derringers look great, I can't seem to find a length on them. My rear turnbuckles on my Fleet use a few links so I should have to problem fitting them. My front are just the turnbuckle from eye to eye. I have a question in to Torklift, If they get back to me I'll update the length.

    I think I figured that out too, thanks, Google seems to want you to email shared Albums, but like you said, I put together a few and then tried it. I think I will start again. We had an amazing 9,200 mile trip and finally have the time to share it out. Josh
