    Bailey's 2018 Raven Shell - Build & Photos

    Bailly, looks like a good start. My 2 cents consider adding a counter and sink. Nice to have when its raining outside and you need to "live" inside for a day or two. This counter was made out of melamine $15 Home Depot with aluminam angle to support it and half x inch under the front...

    How to install a sink in a FWC shell model

    Decided to move this back up to the first page as some of you might be thinking of adding a sink to your shell camper. It was very easy to install as Four Wheel includes all the pieces between the drain and the "Thru=wall" connection. I did add an angle aluminum brace across the rear and a...

    Hawk Shell Mods

    There was no diagram for mine either when I put the sink in and the "thru-wall" connector for the drain, I ran my hand along the side - pressing down hard and felt a slight "bulge" where the stud was located then measured outside and in to pick up the second one for the counter angel-aluminum...

    Long bed with a Grandby or Class B?

Camped in tents, truck toppers, Flip-Pac convertible shell (8 years) and now the FWC Eagle shell (going on 7 years). I bought the FWC to camp in...

    Hawk Shell Mods

    Hi Jim, I just saw an old movie featuring "you" and Capt Jean Luc Picard..."Startrek Generation". You seem to be aging well at least in that movie. And you displayed a lot of energy "chopping wood and horseback riding" in the Nexus. Back to the FWC shelves. I know they look odd as the big one...

    Hawk Shell Mods

    Robo - you've done a great job. I especially like the drawers. We added two of them in the rear in the Eagle and they work great. We use a small block of wood to hold them closed. Solar Panel You mentioned you added a 100 watt. We do a lot of winter off the grid camping. We average 2-3 amp...

    Roof Oil Cans in Wind...

    Its been over two years since "Bill-the-Hiker asked his question? I don't recall if there was an answer? Does anyone know? My roof still "oil cans" when the wind strikes the side at certain angles. I now carry ear plugs the simplest fix as I don;t want to have to take the whole camper apart...

    ((Eagle/Fleet)) - Shell Amateur Build

    Field Report - Engel In November we camped at the hot Springs for a week. I set the fridge temp at 1.5. Cold enough on the bottom to keep the ice cubes solid for 4 days. Lettuce and other type items did not freeze in the upper half. Fortunately my buddy Terry brought his normal 2 separate...

    Electric Bike "carry-behind " 2019

    Hi Andy, I haven't decided if I will take it there because of the dust !! I do have a front receiver, so would swap the bike carrier ,,,though its not designed to take all the shaking of washboard roads and I don't have a front "bull" bar to lash it down properly. I will probably just stick to...

    Story: The Camper That Fell Off

    My Eagle is bolted down. I explore about 200 miles a year off - road and after 55,000 miles all nuts are tight. If you consider this course of action you will need to have a welder weld plates to the front of the frame frame (doesn't void your warranty). We located existing holes on the rear to...

    Bunk Head Room – Fleet VS. Hawk

    The issue is "bed-rail" height. With the Tacoma the top is higher because the "bed-rails" are lower than in a full-size truck. My buddy could not sit up in his '06 Kestral (Hawk) sitting on a 2013 Chevy 1500 while I can sit up in mine. Sitting up is important because we sleep "north-south" so...

    Electric Bike "carry-behind " 2019

    Wow $1,500...I thinlk I would look for a Honda generator. These days at almost age 75, my off-road adventures are on the dirt, wash-board "roads" in and out of the Saline Hot Springs for 7 nights twice per year. This winter I might be going only to Aqua Caliente to soak. there I can get an...

    Electric Bike "carry-behind " 2019

    Recharging off-road So far I haven't had to do that because It isn't ridden far enough to get into the 4th "square". Battery "ReGen's" (regenerates) going downhill when the brakes are applied. I suppose if your off the grid for weeks at a time you would have to carry a generator to charge...

    Electric Bike "carry-behind " 2019

    Hi Dick, Thanks for sharing the pictures and the link. 42 mph is still faster than I want to be going if I fell off of it...which I have already done on mine.. Luckily at the time I was going 0 mph. How did I do that? I was on a slope on uneven ground and the motor didn't have enough torque to...
