Taku, There is a lot of concern around the much larger scale mining for the copper, cobalt, nickel, manganese, lead, lithium and rare earth material that will be needed to make the millions of electric motors and batteries for electric vehicles. As most of us know mining has a history of being...

The concept is hanging the panels from the edges of the roof. Could be a bracket with hinge attachment for the panel attached to the Yakima tracks or equivalent. Similer to our boat, one side would be partially shaded much of the time and each side would need its own solar controller to...

I found I can mount either a 60 cell or 72 cell residential type solar panel between the vents on my camper. I am presently comparing price and cost of serveral 360 - 400 watt panels. One of these panels is slightly lighter in weight than the two 100 watt panels presently on my camper. That...

For folks frequently carrying kayaks, bikes, cargo boxes, etc on the roof of the camper that will shade solar panels. Have you considered hanging panels from the sides of the camper? I can envision a panel hanging off each side that has a hinge and support arms to allow it to fold up into a...

Before you cut the headliner contact FWC with your camper's s/n and ask where the solar wires in the ceiling are. On that year I expect you will find the wires are located above the lift panel on the left side of center. After removing the lift board feel the structure above the headliner with...

Mastercraft was one of the many seat brands I looked at. The Camber and Baja RS both recline but have about half of the Scheel-Mann adjustability features. However they are about 1/2 the price of Scheel Manns (and Recaros) too. We both really like the thigh seat extension (in /out) adjustment...

I found the price for the 100 W Renogy panel on Amazon to be cheaper by about $10 than the Renogy site. Regards, Craig

I have two 100 W solar panels on the roof that weigh together with frames and cable about 45 pounds. I also have two Pygmy ligtweight wood kayaks that weigh around 40 pounds each that I occasionally carry on the Camper. We have full length Yakima rails with Hully Rollers on the back cross bar...

Thanks but I'm confused> Here is the price at the link you sent 100 WATT 12 VOLT MONOCRYSTALLINE SOLAR PANEL (COMPACT DESIGN) SKU: RNG-100D-SS $124.99 now $109.99 How did you get it for $56 delivered?

buckland, I did a quick search and found the 100 W panels for about $98 Would you post a link please.

David, Are you referring to air seats like thoese made by Knoedler and National Seating? They are in the same price range as Recaro and Scheel-Mann. Superior seats maybe? Most of these seats are for on road comfort (I have sat in some) in RVs and Vans and big trucks. To my knowledge they...

David Graves, I think the OEM Dodge W250 LE version "Captian's Chair" bucket seats were more comfortanble than the Toyota seats. The 91 - 93 Dodge Ramcharger (and I think other years) use the exact same seats. Unfortunately my OEM seats are now broken down and a complete rebiild would cost a...

Water expands by about 9% when going from a liquid to frozen state. So if a cointainer is mostly empty it should be fine with one caveat, the air in the continer will be compressed if it is sealed so it would be wise to have a way for the air to escape if the container cannot hold the slighly...

We have a 1993 Dodge w250 Clubcab LE with OEM "Captians Chair" bucket seats. The seat back pawls are broken and the seat foam no longer provides adequate support and comfort. (hasn't in years). We have been looking at buying new seats since early 2018 and tried to get them before we went on...

We have a Dometic CFX-28 that we place in the truck cab behind the center console. The CFX-28 is the next size smaller than the Dometic CFX3 35 (which is a newer model). It uses the same compressor and electronics and a similarly built (but slightly smaller) container. It is quiet and works...

Lighthawk, We have a pop up shower encloser similer to the one you pictured. We find it to the a floppy, unstable PITA in even mildly breezy conditions. Also there is no much room inside. It does work -sort of but not satisfactory for our needs. Looking for something that is a bit larger...

I live in California. I bought a used pickup truck in Oregon in 1999. In order to register it in California I had to pay sales tax as part of the California title and registration process. If I had owned and operated it out of state for a year or more no sales tax would have been due. In...

David, Do you have an inside shower? I don't think my outide shower hand held wand will reach to the back door but I like your suggestion just the same.

This Truck and Camper appear to still be for sale: https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/xp-camper-nimbl-2018-for-sale-great-condition-179-000.222728/ Camper only now...

recommend making the hole large enough to accomodate a rubber grommet along with the wires. The grommet will minimize the risk of the sharp edges of the hole in the Aluminum roof cutting into the wires. Alternatively you could wrap the wires with heavy tape or soething. I used a grommet.

Here is an incomplete refrigerator comparison spreadsheet I created while downselecting to the Dometic CFX-28 that we purchased. Hopefully someone will update this with info on the larger models. Craig

We sleep side to side in the overcab bed. I replaced our thermostat, which was mounted to the cabinet between the sink and the front (truck cab) end of the camper, with a manual garage thermostat that has settings down to 35 deg (search WTW for posts about doing this). We have a warm double...

As long as it is usable I want it but it will be a few weeks before I can drive up to get it. I get my first vaccination shot tomorrow.

I am interested. PM sent
