Put on platform [your design to desired height] and once all weight on that support, extend the 4 jacks until they just contact the ground and tighten just a little....jacks provide stability and platform support.

Jim's solar is on a trailer right? Not a FWC? Generator is always an option.....

Wow! Inventive! Now to find a source of that much ice...but really a good example of thinking outside the norm...again, with my two vent fans, watch the number of amps drawn, on 'high' those suckers use a lot of amps....and I store gear outside the tie-down doors, but of course that gear is...

Good idea if you have the room to mount and can supply this level of amperage: High Blower Speed: 38 nominal amps @ 12.8 Volts DC ** Medium Blower Speed: 32 nominal amps @ 12.8 Volts DC ** Low Blower Speed (Whisper Mode): 29 nominal amps @ 12.8 Volts DC **

Ha! Small world, I grew up in Yuba City North of Sacto in late 40's early 50's and 100 degrees at midnight with 70% humidity made our swamp cooler more of a shower....agree in low humidity evaporative cooling works, but relative humidity must be low...also introducing moisture inside a FWC can...

I bought 8 of these several years ago along with spout and extra gaskets...all new and top quality.. https://deutscheoptik.com/cart.php?m=search_results&headerSearch=Y&search=fuel+cans Note: Buy four cans and shipping is free...out of stock until Sept. Phil

I will chirp in again....you seem to be trying make all this work, good. But you need to load it up to max and do SAFE field trials on various tracks and at varying speeds to get you answer...and even then, during an emergency turn, recovery from understeering or oversteering or stopping can...

A CAT scale. The CofG for the Granby is 11" behind the rear axle. Of the 8ft footprint; 5ft is within the bed, and 3ft is beyond the taillights. With 1ton rear leaf springs/1ton dually rear axle/HMMWV tires combo, I barely know the camper is on. It wasn't until I weighed the Bronco/camper...

In final version we have the winch with plate for fore or aft use...Our Hellwig rear bar really does help....went with pizza cutter sized Cooper AT3 E rated tires...firestone air bags...recently full Li system; along with second Zamp panel [now a 160 & 170w]...I built a thin roof rack for...

Bryan, Yes, we are also smoked in up here in NE Oregon, surrounded by fires and smoke coming from 800+ miles away....going to be a long Summer! Lots of information on Li vs AGMs...I went to Li after my FWC AGMs faded into the sunset....in the Winter on a ski trip....not much heat without...

I understand having a propane alarm...but honestly, has anyone on this forum actually had a propane leak into a FWC? Also, removing the fuse takes 10 secs since on my Hawk it is inside the circuit breaker/fuse cabinet... False alarms are like crying wolf...we tend to disregard them.

6am on monitor 10.6- off- o o A- 0 W -1.8V (20 -24.) 0 KWH , all means nothing to me.. maybe to you??? ======================================== Just saw this thread come back alive...I assume you have two AGMs [2x 75ah ?] and that this is a FWC....if that "10.6" or previous "10.2" is the...

'16 Hawk...simply pulled the fuse to the propane alarm...no more 0300hr wake up alarms..

Bishop...perhaps Reno is closer...had my Li conversion done here; very professional and well known for FWC work... K Pawley Sixgun Twelvevolt 541.215.4661 Li is the only way to go...Phil

Add the FWC Hawk to your watch list....our '05 Tundra AccessCab SR5 with '16 Hawk is an outstanding combo...

What exactly was the question? Not vinyl...as for photo of scratches on Swift...two observations: First black anything on exterior will show dirt/scratches more that standard white, as in FWC aluminum siding. Our '16 Hawk [std FWC white aluminum siding] has been dragged through a lot of...

Viewing the article in #5 above, which lists the shortcomings of fiberglass...aluminum makes more sense for off road use, which is the FWC niche...

The road off of Hwy 39 [North of Ollokot] to Imnaha is USFS road 3955...dirt and great ride down the canyon...not difficult with lots of ranches along the way...look for small sign on right [N] side of Hwy 39 for turn-off. Sorry, seems you want direction out of Imnaha SB to Hwy 39....3955 is...

https://fourwheelcampers.com/video/camper-siding/ "light Grey" you mentioned is called "Silver" by FWC and is aluminum...all campers are either aluminum [ most models] or newer is fiberglass over 1/8" wood sheets...no vinyl ....at least this article does not mention any...plus disadvantages of...

Hey, I agree to each their own....never trying to convert anyone to my way of doing things....we go off grid for two weeks at a time and just drinking water during hot weather is 2 gallons a day [two of us], so yes, we use and need the FWC 20 gallons plus the 5 in water heater to stretch our off...

Don't understand this "using camper water tank is limited since it's not for drinking water, I still have to bring drinkable water, 20 gallons is more than I'll ever need to do dishes or take the rare shower, wouldn't fill it due to weight of that much water"? One of the big assets of our Hawk...

Thanks for the link, I get Overland Journal but missed that info, what really caught my eye was all the Bluetooth data that each battery monitors and transmits...excellent; beats my Victron 712 monitor...might mention that BB currently does have a built in heating element for cold weather...

The camper is nearly empty....it will I assume not stay that way...so your 250 lbs will be more than off-set when the camper gets loaded....good on you for thinking this through but at the end of the day is it getting "4 lbs of ---- into a 3 lb bag"...yes, it can be done...but should it be...I...

These items are like new...if interested send me a PM with an offer..thanks.

Did not mean to stir a pandemic of views on the severity or consequences of vaccination vs no vaccination... There obviously is not an end point established for future enforced vaccinations for COVID-19 and an endless array of variants that will follow. So be it.... Out Here
