Yukon-Chris, Great Job,. Send a PM to Mark BC and ask him to put this post on a link on "Truck Campers/camper Builds" page

Viv - it sounds like your going to locate your counter sideways across the the camper above the front window. Please post pictures when it is done so we can see how it came out.

John - one more thing. You mentioned that your wife's " shocks" and your " springs" are wearing out. Another reason to spend the next 5 years going to RV shows and sitting in different campers and smaller class B motor homes. I am age 72 almost 73. I have a herniated disk and wear a back brace...

Vic - Counter depth Everything fits on my 15-3/4 inch depth which is the reason I don't change out the counter. Though I wish I had an extra inch or two behind the sink. That area is where I place the hand soap and soap dish falls into the sink occassionally. The other reason to keep the...

Hi John, As a happy Eagle shell /Tacoma owner what you buy still depends on how you plan to use it. I bought the Eagle to primarily camp in the winter because I love to explore the western deserts, ghost towns, old shacks, mine sites and remote hot springs AND transport my radio controlled...

Field Report Engle Front opening top loading compressor fridge - Recently I have been helping a friend buy an Engle and I recommended the "MR040" as it opens from the side not the end and at $849 its $20 less than the MT35 , 2 inches higher and 40 quarts capacity (MT35 - 34 quarts).

Thanks Ron and Jim for your sharing. So far the only part of my build I would change would be the type of counter. I chose the material I used because I didn't have the skills to glue on a top...Not knowing at the time I could purchase (and in Rons case get for free) , the counter. Then I...

Hi Bill, (Bill the Hiker) Congratulations on your new Fleet and welcome to the family. I advise waiting until you take delivery. Then take the measurements. Additionally start a new Topic, so we "helpers" can help you. Title "Fleet build by Handyman" or something like that. Then you can...

Debbie and Allen - I will contact you through email you gave me.

Longbeard, We removed our camera from the tailgate, fabricated an Lbracket to mount the camera then bolted it to the bottom of the camper, Our camper is mounted full time. The cable plugs into a connector behind the bumper, so I suppose you could move it back and forth if necessary. I believe...

Wandering Sagebush has a good idea.- contact FWC. There was once two separate frames - one for shells and one for the regular camper. I believe they switched to one frame after 2012. Not sure though. When I installed our sink I was unable to get the dimensions from them so I took an educated...

Captain, My 2 cents. Zamp is the very best with a price to match. We are very happy with our Renogy 150 watt, We park our rig under a carport. The solar panel gets reflected light off the neighbors roof which easily maintains the percentage of full at 98% or higher in the winter. The panel -...

Rico - Thanks for your comments. I edited my "Field Report" to add the following information: Overloading The door sticker shows the GVWR as 5500 pounds. Front is rated at 2755 pounds. Rear 3110 with P265/70R16 (Total 5865 pounds) . The LT265/75R16 are rated at 3415 pounds per tire at 80 PSI...

Sounds like there are enough of you to do a rally. If anyone is interested in being the organizer I'm willing to help out with advice

Field Report Subject Tacomas - Tires, air bags, and rear springs, Weight issues Tires: Whichever manufacture you choose make sure there is letters " LT' before the number. LT (light truck) is a 10 ply rated tire that will support the camper weight. Most Fleet/Eagles regular campers weigh...

Hi Cedar = Adding my 2 cents. Tires: Whichever manufacture you choose make sure there is letters " LT' before the number. LT (light truck) is a 10 ply rated tire that will support the weight. Your tire that may say P and the number. When we bought it it came with "P"265/70R16.(Load range C)...

Our experience with our 2012 Eagle same as Don C. Ours also "oil cans" - (pocka-pocka) in high cross-winds. Since we added the rigid 150 watt panel (26 pounds) we have had no repeat of the "oil-canning" or the squeeking as the panel is right above our heads. f we know in advance the wind...

The Rally was a success. Weather in San Clemente was just right. It rained around us but not on us. Stan and Jason cooked Friday night, Saturday and Sunday morning breakfast...A great treat that was unexpected and appreciated by all. Here are a few pictures.
