Four trash cans or 55 gallon drums; one at each corner with lumber going across. Lift up front first then rear. Drive off.

Congrats! I really like your choice in the new rig and look forward to more pictures. I'm a year and half into retirement and its working well for me.

I also had to ditch the Sure Power separator because of the switch to Lithium battery. In fact I had to also ditch my solar charge controller and my Iota Power converter. I ended up with a combo unit from Renogy. It does trickle charge the truck battery when the camper battery is fully...

One way to check for possible warping is a dial indicator. Useful for many other applications too. Lots of inexpensive options for example...

Looks like you have room for more backing. Remember you can have multiple plates stacked and the bolt hole does not have to go through the center. For example you can have a larger section of sheet that is formed to shape to match the underside contour. Then some smaller plates below and...

Understood. I have a Renogy DC-DC w/MPPT unit so it is probably the MPPT periodically charging the truck starting battery. I don't know the logic but I have seen the light illuminated a couple times.

Is the switch that you throw part of the battery separator or a similar device? I have 6-gauge wire from the truck to camper and I’ve replaced the battery separator with a DC DC charger. I’m pretty sure the DC DC charger will put a charge to the truck battery I’m not sure if it would be...

Thanks for the link. I'll add it to my resources which include: -CalFire -Inciweb -National Fire Situational Awareness -Purple Air

I made one for my previous rig (F150 + 2006 Hawk) because the gap between the top of cab and camper seemed too much. My current rig has a smaller gap and I use the windshield as a deflector. Works pretty good at subsonic speeds.

I have on board air for my ARB differential locker and for airing up tires. I've never used it to fill the air bags back when I had air bags (I recently ditched air bags for custom leaf spring pack). When I had air bags, I would fill them at home to the desired pressure before heading out on a...

Glass Beach. Story I heard was that a nearby old time landfill was so close to shore that it was breached and the glass fragments are transported to the beach by the current/waves.

Pre-Covid I had stellar service from FWC for my thee visits: 1. Initial purchase 2. Replace leaking rear window 3. Repair my damage to roof rack

This! I had assumed that the OP was asking about redistributing the heavy items in the camper from drivers side to passenger side. I would say go for it where reasonably possible. A 2-inch lean is a lot and sounds like weak leaf springs.

I’d love to have the Jaguar. Did many camping trips with a Triumph TR4; just have to load like a backpacker

If your truck is kinda new then add-a-leafs and/or air bags are often discussed. If your truck is older I noticed that the oem leaf pack starts to flatten and lose capacity. In that case I would consider brand new spring packs which you could spec for your loaded weight and be done with it.

I previously had both and I preferred Firestone Ride Rite over Airlift.

Our 2015 Hawk seems to have 18” line with tank oriented as shown in pic. No problems since new.

I'd never noticed gas struts along the sides before, but it seems like it should work fine.

Number 4 cone filter holder here too. I even use it at home every morning. The fancy espresso machines are in the pantry and rarely used.

Today I was planning to replace the factory negative battery bus (distribution block) with a larger unit. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08RRYD6J3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I took a quick look last night and the factory negative bus appears to be electrically connected...

Same Ben Howard song but for you bike enthusiasts

With a shell you have lots of options depending on how you want to use the space. Maybe something similar to the original rollover couch that is still offered by FWC. That would probably tie up so interior space with dedicated lower cabinets though. I have spend many nights on the rollover...

How about connecting it to a marine breaker switch located near the battery? Turn off when not in use.

For my lithium battery install I replaced the Iota and Surepower with a combo unit: https://www.renogy.com/dcc30s-12v-30a-dual-input-dc-dc-on-board-battery-charger-with-mppt/
