Thanks Ski

I'm selling because my 74 year old back can no longer withstand the jarring of washboard roads in small vehicles. 1988 Suzuki Samurai 4WD 5-speed NO a/c– License: 2MUC715 Vin: JS4JC51CBJ4244116 Current mileage 127,000 miles. Weight 2,300 pounds. Currently flat towed behind a 2013 V6...

Yes Vic, the more gauges I have sometimes the more I worry about it all not working well forgetting that I functioned with just a volt meter for years.

My friend Terry sold his FWCamper because he wasn't using it enough to justify the investment. He bought a Honda Pilot and sleeps in the back. For food refrigeration he bought a Engle "MR040" portable compressor fridge that he stores on the passenger seat. Initially we decided to just use the...

Thanks all of you for your input. On the Ocotillo trip we did not bring the iPad so were not drawing ,(point) 8 amps an hour for about 3-4 hours every day. And I just remembered that at the Springs we were charging friend Terry's starter battery off the 60 watt portable panel and running his...

Our 2012 Eagle shell did this a lot in 30 mph plus winds when vehicle was side on to the wind. Positioning truck head into the wind has stopped it. Though placing a 26 pound solar panel on the front has really stopped the sound. Except this past weekend we were camped at Ocotillo Wells and the...

Vic, Rando and Paul, Per Trimetric: Fridge draws 2.7 amps at start of cycle declining to 2 amps in about 45 seconds for another 2 minutes (observed with stop watch). Cycles 2min-45seconds every 30 minutes or 5.5 minutes every hour during darkness. I figure it averages 1.6-2 amps per hour (24...

That's a bummer. Bankruptcy isn't necessarily bad if the dealer stays open through a reorganization...unless he is going to close his doors. :( That said I hope everything continues to operate through the early stages of ownership.

Kevin - Four Wheel is having a customer rally at Ocotillo Wells this weekend. Come out and see how we all have "made storage" when there isn't any. We do a "walk- around" to see each others rigs and you will see lots of storage ideas. Click on the link below my signature to review my ideas...

Your warranty is with Four Wheel. At worst you will have "a fun drive to Woodland to have the work done". At best they will contract with a shop in Portland to do the work. Questions or concerns check with the factory.

yes VicI am confused ??? I was thinking about what changed since my last 7 day, engine off camping trip. Only thing is the size of the Engle fridge 40 quart marine with plastic cover vs the 35 quart with the metal cover and wonder if the insulation on the marine version is less which could...

Vic - had the battery load tested this morning and it passed with flying colors. That's good. This past week sitting in the carport the battery has maintained 99-100% with just the reflected light off my neighbors roof. Tomorrow we leave for Ocotillo Wells and the four Wheel rally. We will see...

On my my trip to the Saline hot Springs last month we brought 7 ea 3-hour presto-logs less than $2.00 each. Buy the ones in the tan bag from Stater Bros. Nice high flame every night and very little residue, We also carry an "oil" change pan as I believe we are not supposed to have ground...

Adding my congrats to and welcome to the fFur Wheel family. Toasting you on many happy camping trips.

Polllux we welcome your friends with the classic Fleet. Please tell them to bring one chair for each person for visiting and around the fire pit.

Vic - truck been sitting in carport since 12 noon on Tuesday - no load. This morning percent of charge - 89%. Voltage 12.9. Having battery load tested Monday.

Great shakedown trip. Your going to love it once your body memory adjusts to the size of the door. I'm 6 foot 1 inch and after 5 years in the Eagle I hardly ever "wack" my head. Just learned to go out backwards. Side benefit you will have to keep your weight down to fit. Fleet looks good on the...

Was reviewing the 2013 video Bill Harr took at the 2013 rally and noticed the camper you have on your truck is a different color from this one. Did you change campers in the last 4 years?

KKlug Congrats on your new Fleet and welcome to the family. Bring the family . Hang out and stay for the potluck. Bring chairs to sit around the evening fire .

Interesting REI doesn't show the "Alcove " shelter just the Alcove wind walls?? This item from Kelty looks closer to the picture??

Thanks Eric I will check out the REI Alcove nest couple of days. Would love to see the rig and you if your around. Saturday we are going on a desert "tour" led by Rich&Kim should be a blast.
