We have a 1993 Dodge Diesel W250 Clubcab Longbed on which we carry a 2007 FWC Keystone popup whose floor is 9 feet long. We leave the tailgate down so that it protects the part of the camper bottom that extends beyond the end of the cargo bed and so that we can use the 6 inches or so of the...

River-Rat, I suspect you are correct that the strips may have been added to mitigate degradation of the floor pack by constant contact with water. Our1984 FWC Keystone was developing some rot problms on the bottom of the floor pack near the back door due to water pooling in the cargo bed...

For less install hassle I am pretty sure there are 12v slide-in front opening refrigerators that will fit in the existing 3-way refrigerator space. From a temperature control standpoint they are equivalent. Not sure if price would be much different.

You can have both USB and 12v. This one has dual 2.1A USB outlets. Most others have one 2.1A and one 1.0A or 1.5A USB outlet...

Good idea. Hopefully you will use a liner bag and then empty it every evening in Bear country. Even at that the bag will probably carry a scent and may attract unwanted company if left outside overnight.

Hal, Yeah, not looking good. Sorry to read your cruise got cancelled. Ditto on doing CONUS trips! Craig

Frank, Our plan is to ferry up amd drive back. We are taking our Truck with FWC camper and pulling a covered trailer with two railroad motorcars in it, mine and a friends. They are taking their truck and FWC camper. The Ferry trip up includes layover in Ketcikan for 4 days and Juneau for 10...

garyr, Happy to help and I hope it turns out to be suseful info. Glad you picked up the foam is high-resilience not high density. Sorry about that. I edited my earlier comments above to correct that. Good luck. I look forward to reading how it works out. Craig

garyr, Personally I don't think the memory foam topper would be needed. But my needs may be different than yours. In my experience buying a mattress of any kind (home, boat, camper, etc) of the optimal firmness for your body is always a challenge. It is always best to try a particular...

We have booked and paid for passage on the Alaska Marine Highway ferry system from Bellingham, WA to Hains, AK departing on August 7, 2021. We have plans to run our railroad motorcar on the Alaska Railroad again http://www.mowonline.org/schedule.html#210904 1) The Alaska ferries are running...

garyr, Froli traveller. The reason we have what we have: Our original FWC mattress was too firm. We bought a memory form topper for it. Both the topper and original FWC matress were damaged by condensed moisture in the camper. Fortunately we were able to clean and save the mattress cover...

The lengtrh of the seat pad is the same on both seats. However the Scheel-Mann thigh pad is separate and can be moved forward creating a deeper seat to relieve thigh pressure points. The Scheel-Mann seat pad height from the seat bottom mounting plane is lower than the OEM seat. The adapter...

On 2007 FWC Keystone we have Froli springs on bottom, then 4" thick high density foam in medium firmness with 1" eggcrate style memory foam on top. We used to keep the bedding (Slumberjack 40 deg/30 deg double sleeping bag) on top of the mattress but now we have to take it down and fold or...

Wango, You reported finding a broken wire and fixed it and the panels are putting out 21V. You connected a Victron 100/50 and got no output but discovered the panel wirepolarity is reversed. Is there still an issue after the polarity reversal has been fixed? Have you done the troubleshooting...

rando - No argument . I am simply looking for facts and data. Too many years as a systems engineer in the Space business to rely on anecdotal evidence I guess. ;-)

I just found the following article on a Tesla model s that has the most miles, 400,000, of any known Tesla. It is dated from July 2018. https://electrek.co/2018/07/17/tesla-model-s-holds-up-400000-miles-3-years/ As of Oct 2020 the highest miles for a Tesla is 750,000 but it has new...

moveinon, If you have a reference for the Tesla rental car data please post a link. In particular, somthing that shows what company has a fleet of cars with 500,000 miles on them. I did a quick search and could not find that data. I have read that Tesla model S vehicles went into rental car...

The following reports are worth a read (as well as some of the referenced documents) However, there is always the issue of who is paying for the research and was there a target conclusion in mind or was the research allowed to come to an independent conclusion independent of the motives of the...
