That makes perfect sense to me. My truck's not huge, but it's a bit taller than average and I'm a mite shorter. Anything under the hood requires I jump up and at least stand on the front bumper, if not sit on the radiator support.. My isolator ended up in the cabinet under the dinette seat...

It's "just" a 4d.. I measured the actual dimensions of the box and the battery itself is just a tad smaller.. perfect I thought! Won't go through the door though.. We'll see how the new location goes, but my wife's excited about more cabinet space..

Are you thinking there will be too much voltage loss from the truck side if I install it in the camper?

OK, First off- On my camper, the coiled 10ga wires in the battery box are definitely the solar leads. I ran 12v jumpers to them and had the same reading at the solar plugs. The heavier (8ga) wires behind the vent panel below the IOTA converter are the battery leads. The battery positive is...

Also, I seriously owe you a beer or two. Thanks for all the help!

Perfect. So the solar lines in the box are just direct leads from the plugs on the roof and rear wall?

DrJ, Where did you install your solar charge controller? Is it connected to the coiled 10ga in your battery box?

Them skipping the isolator was my doing. I got it into my head that I wanted a dual sensing DVSR so my solar would charge my truck batteries too.. I didn't want to pay the $250 to just end up replacing the parts.. I probably should have just had them install it, but I figured I would save a...

Well, After looking at your pictures your wire setup looks just like mine. If you say the coiled are solar and the other are battery, it'd be a fool to argue.. My charge line comes in from the truck and runs past the underseat area, but there is definitely no break in it. This does seem like a...

When I get home I'll power up the solar lines with some jumpers and see if I can get juice to anything that didn't have power before..

First pic of the coiled wires with butt connectors is in the battery box, second are the lines hidden behind the vent grill. Looking at the wires themselves, I would totally agree with you. Their locations make me think otherwise though.. This is a front dinette model, sorry. Should have said...

From the the social media posts it looks to me like they're doing just fine sqeezed into that camper!

Hey Guys, So I'm installing my new battery and Blue Sea ACR into my 2016 Grandby with front dinette. I had the camper delivered without a battery because I wanted to install my own dual-sensing setup. Looks pretty straight forward with a pair of 10ga red and black wires terminating in the...

XP Camper, just too much money and too much weight. Beautifully built rigs though..

Me too..

It's here! https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1686681464906866.1073741832.1624790521095961&type=1&l=540def6c46

Aaaaand- Delivery delayed. Date moved from the 18th to the 22nd. Not like I was going to take it out in the middle of the week anyway. I may sleep in it in my driveway though. :)

One week left! The fridge gets here tomorrow.. :)

Phil, We originally ordered from Keri, but it sounds like she is no longer with the company. Jeff called us a few days ago to set the schedule. I don't have any serious complaints, but the FWC ordering process through them hasn't been as fun as we expected it to be.. They gave me a pretty...

Just got the delivery date scheduled for our Grandby.. Jan 18 @ 10am at American RV in Portland Or. We finalized our order Nov. 17th. We were hoping to get it about a month earlier (right now..) originally, but the build time went up a bit. Hopefully the holiday's will help us pass the time.

How about a bumper with a 2" receiver built in? I got tired of the large, heavy TrailReady I had on my truck, so I built a much more streamlined bumper with burly shakle mounts and an integrated 2" reciever, then built a carrier for my Warn. Works great so far, and I shaved about 150lbs off the...

We just ordered our new Grandby last week.. My amazon list is growing very quickly. I'm also spending an inordinate amount of time on WTW and Expo Portal.. I was told 6-7 weeks.

Nevermind, Ordered one from FWC last week. :)

I'm not sure if this point has been brought up yet, but it seems like many times people seem to think 3/4 ton is synonymous with diesels.. As a few guys have pointed out, the large diesel engines in today's HD trucks are often WAY overpowered for a simple popup camper and a small boat or similar...

Shouldn't be an issue. I usually winch with the truck running, but with the system I'm planning the batteries will be disconnected from each other when the truck is off.
