Being a boat guy, my go to is a marine epoxy resin. You can gently warm the epoxy and hardener separately before mixing. This will lower the viscosity allowing it to flow better. I would ask FWC what adhesive they used and make sure that an epoxy product wont melt the laminate. You can also...

I ran a furniture restoration business for years and have dealt with my fair share of loose veneers. I would suggest injecting some adhesive into the bubbles and wedging a block between cab and platform acting as a clamp.

Thank you for the recipe Sir!

+ 1 here, those look insane! We started our new year up here on the Lost Coast. We milled around the beaches on new years eve and admired 20+ foot waves slamming directly on shore. The power was breathtakingly humbling. On the 1st, the weather laid down and the sun shone bright! We spent the...

Frustrating, upsetting and heartbreaking. Unfortunately some will never learn their place in this world. Arrogance and greed wins again, and the earth losses. In the end, with continued acts of stupidity like this, we all lose. “The earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the earth...

Thanks for the update and nice work on the instal! Please keep us posted on the continued performance of the unit. Isn’t winter camping the best?!!!!!!

I too am curious about the extreme condensation reduction. Did you still need ventilate when running the diesel heater? If so was it the same amount of ventilation as when you ran the propane heater?

I seems as though my stock IOTA did indeed charge the battery fully from the shore power. It was my shunt that was reading an inaccurate SOC. Ever since I installed the smart shunt, I have relied on its reading of percentage. Relying on the voltage from my lithium as a reference has been an...

I just pulled the truck out of the garage for solar charging. The Smart solar says it is in absorption mode but the smart shunt says only 60% SOC. Battery is at 14.40 volts. This should show 100% per my settings on both victron devices. I set the smart shunt to synchronize SOC to 100%. Now...

My stock 2022 FWC charger only charges my SOK 206ah lithium to 60% SOC. Attached is a photo of the existing unit. Is there one I can swap out for that can get me to 100% SOC?

We went with a product from KICKASS (silly name, great products). We needed to save on weight and this awning is only 24lbs and at a cost of only $199 (free delivery) we gave it a shot. Been using it now for over a year and it has kept us dry in the rain and shaded from the sun. It is easily...

Glad to hear they are willing to work with you. As mentioned they charged me $250 to change size of fridge, and any other changes would be $250 per request. I also asked for them to install wire heavy enough to handle a DC-DC charger and they refused. It looks like they not only are upgrading...

In order to properly "compost" you must have air circulation and the contents must be agitated. The design looks comfortable to use, but I think the smell may become funky with multiple uses. We have been very pleased with our set up here...

Roof Mounted 12 Volt Air Conditioner Price - $4,995.00 Weight - 75lbs More Info NEW OPTION: Do you live in an area where you experience really hot or humid weather? Then you can now (maybe?) consider a Roof Mounted Air Conditioner for your camper. TWO IMPORTANT THINGS TO CONSIDER: (before...

WOW! This news make their recently announced price increase well worth it. I for one would love the upgraded stove, furnace and water heater. And by all means the standard lithium set up! Only $1200 for an extra 135ah. I have way more than that into creating my own lithium system on my 2022...

Putting an order in November and getting a January production date was unheard of when I ordered my Hawk. We waited almost 9 months! I did the same thing as you and wanted a bigger fridge, which in our case was upgrading to the 85L. Even though our production date was several months away, they...

I always asked for Brenda at FWC in Woodland. She has been very informative and helpful.

I like the storage aspect of your design. At one point on here someone posted a version that could store their jacks and tailgate while the camper was on the truck. Great idea!

"I was crunched for time before the trip so I did not tackle the wiring upgrade or a DC/DC converter to maximize alternator charging but will likely do that at some point in the future. I found that i did not need it with my battery capacity and drive time for this trip. I do not have a smart...

I love this and would have no problem with putting it up and taking it down. Great idea! Please update once this is field tested.

Wild mushrooms are abound. A hike up the creek last night yielded some nice, early boletes, oysters and chanterelles. Concocted a great soup today with the bolete. Made for a cozy rainy afternoon on the coast. Used up some end of the season goodies for a side salad of apples, brussel sprouts and...

Looks epic. I may have to give it a go! Just harvested the last apples off the trees for the season. Looks like a fun rainy day project. Thanks!

Local favorites here in my neck of the woods. AJ has been working her magic since she was a child. It's been fun watching her grow up and evolve into such a wonderful light for the industry. We even had her play in our back yard for the locals only, neighborhood party. What a treat! GO AJ...

I teach a boat building class as well as a Building Trades and Engineering program. I have had all my students watch both of his videos,"Alone in the Wilderness" part 1 and 2 for the last 15 years. Dick's innate abilities and precision are very humbling. I never knew there was a condensed...

Can I get an AMEN!?!!!!
