As promised - pictures of the dinette setup options in a Front Dinette with the King Slide option. Setup with out any extra cushions in place: Queen slide setup King Slide Setup

Iowahiker, Nice pickup on the Hawk vs Grandby. There is no doubt after owning both kinds of campers that the extra 1.5 foot the Grandby gives you is quite helpful and roll over couch may benefit greatly from that setup. The extra space between the cabinets and the front of the camper on the...

For 2 people the King Bed is probably only helpful if you want NS sleeping. It is actually a really neat addition for me because of trying to sleep so many kids. It is kind of a pain to carry around so many extra cushions, but the sleeping arrangement is so much better it's worth it to me...

It is not listed on the standard option price list. I will see if I can get you a picture of my setup. I'm not sure if I've seen it before on this website or FWC's website. Anyone else have a picture of it? It's essentially the same idea as the queen slide except longer. It extends into the...

It is not the stardard option. The extended bed cabover extends the bed out (towards the back of the camper) into a queen sized bed. The King Slide gives you a larger slide board and an extra set of cushions to make it even bigger - King Sized. I believe this extra add on is about $325.

Great point on the King Slide -thanks. It is not an advertised option and I would have never known about it without WandertheWest.

For a brief time, I owned all 3 dinette types that Four Wheel Campers make, I learned a ton about each one after camping in each of time for several nights. Here is my subject material: 2013 Hawk Rollover Couch 2013 Grandby Side Dinette 2015 Grandby Front Dinette Rollover Coach Pros: very...

My prior setup had 3 different glued on panels which worked perfectly for over 1.5 years (still going today). However, I tried with my new camper to repeat this and had terrible luck. The panels that I purchased had the junction box and solar cables on the bottom of the panel. This made it...

Phil, I actually think the 160 watt zamp solar system that FWC uses now is a pretty decent setup. For the majority of people with compressor fridges and furnaces, this would be adequate. If you get less solar hours or use more power it might be a stretch, but many owners don't. It is a big...

I have been thinking about that - or even a small microwave like you want to do. A TV would be great (or at least my kids would think so) but I'd probably just do a 12 volt unit if I didn't do the inverter.

I believe the Trimetric will hold some of that data without power - but I am not 100% sure on that. Could there have been some thing that feel into the battery compartment that would have arked the battery terminals? +1 on what MarkBC says too

That sounds like a great setup. I would think that 2 weeks on the IOTA would be unlikely to do this. The IQ4 does help with charging. Your trimetric has the ability to record data on the recent voltage and amps. You might be able to see if the IOTA was charging it incorrectly.

Yikes. What kind of batteries did you have? Were they AGM or vented? How were you charging your camper during this time and for how long?

Should be no problem to use a bigger solar controller. The cost of the larger one is usually more, but if you plan on adding more panels in the future may make it worth it.

New panel is Renogy 24 volt 250 watt panel. I have a 20 amp MPPT charge controller - which was necessary for a 24 volt panel. I chose the panel because I could get it from amazon and it was wider than my yakima tracks. So it made it very easy to attach the panel to the tracks and not drill...

We will often stay in one location for several days at a time. The truck does charge the camper. In my prior setup, I was able to get around 15 amps/hour of charging while driving. I believe that will be about the same this time, but I have not directly measured it yet.

I took delivery of a new 2015 Grandby Front Dinette Model about a month ago. I was ready to setup the 12 volts system to my camper and here is how I planned it out. Hopefully this helps some of you who are looking to do the same thing. My last setup had a wonderful battery/solar/monitor setup...
