Update: We've decided to go the Hawk route. We'll order the King and plan on maybe cutting the extra cushions down to give us a little more room for N/S sleeping. We can keep those on the platform (maybe 6") and not totally interfere with the steps, etc. Order going in today... Now to find...

We're looking for a flatbed to put on a full size truck. We're wondering if anyone has a Fleet on a full size truck (thinking is that it's only 5" narrower and would "hide" a bit more behind the cab) AND we think will let you sleep North/South (need a King bed on a Hawk); is that true on the...

When I resealed my screws, I put a "blob" of caulking over the entire screw head. If you try to get it just in the threads it might fail again. Just look and see what the fan install caulking looks like. That will give you an idea of my screw heads.

I tried it and could not get it to budge... they have a special collar they use and took about 15 seconds once the tank was fastened into a cradle.

I had that issue and just took it the local suburban propane dealer here in town. They have all the tools to rotate it 180 degrees.

Will do when the time arrives... I"m wiating for prices to come down, rebates, incentives, etc. and it could take quite a while :-)....

I doubt there's a default size as it depends where the eye bolts are located, etc. Upgrade them IMHO. Don't let them fail.

We're looking to do the same and I'm waiting for the 1 ton truck prices to get back to normal although that might be a while :-). Did you get any kind of deal on your 3500?

Great info, thanks! I've been searching for a 3500 diesel for a flatbed install but alas, I think I'm going to have to wait for inventory to get better. I ideally would like a chassis cab but we'll see what happens. If I could get anywhere near the friends and family price that'd be awesome...

Could be; I think I 6 guage but it's probably a run of about 15'. I see 14v at the battery, and sometimes see 14v at the charger but it's fluctuates between 12.4 and 13.5 most of the time so I see the victron cycling on and off. With bluetooth though, I can just turn off the engine shutdown...

It was dirt cheap (not sure what it came out of) and cutting, routering, etc. the holes for the sink and stove top was easy (ok, relatively easy).

I did that (but not on a Ford but a RAM) just for insurance. I also did the same in my FWC where the eye bolts are and upgraded all the hardware, etc.

Interesting. I've not been there but heard the fishing is very good but not sure where along the river.

I will say that I had to play with the settings on my Victron DCtoDC unit so that the camper battery would charge because the engine shutdown detection was/is set to 14v (?) and due to voltage drop from my alternator to the Victron is was less than that so it wouldn't allow current to flow so no...

I watched craigslist and bought some 1/4" corian.... great counter top replacement (on a FWC) and won't suffer from spilled liquids (coffee, water, tequila, etc. :-) ).

Just a FYI. I can't remember where I bought mine (ebay and not available now) for < $100 delivered, but right now in this environment, who knows what the prices are doing! :-).... I bought mine about a year ago.

Any advice, input, etc. on the ferry? We're looking at potentially doing this next year. thanks.

I'm late to this but this is exactly my experience too... very frustrating. I like the idea of the flaps but the implementation isn't great. I've put some aquaseal on the stitching and along that seam Vic speaks of. Haven't had rain in a while so haven't been able to test my "fix" yet. I...

We have a 2001 Eagle and have 4" mattress with 2 separate pieces that are 4" so you end up with 3 pieces. 1 piece fits behind on side in front of the window and behind the backrest of the bench seat. The other piece just stays on the bed platform (so there's 2 pieces up top) and I pull the...

It's been crazy for a long time. When I found mine (after about a year of searching), I basically bought it sight unseen and had to get it the next day.

I just replaced mine and bought it from Amazon. Just make sure to get the right one (Mine was a vertical one) and after research, they are different. I actually replaced both the regulator and also the brass fitting that goes to the propane tank (the original was slightly different but this...

That's what I'm using and from quite a few sources, the Victron was claimed to be a superior product in every case.

Ok. If you take it out and are going to take it to the dump, I'll take it! I can't remember how I got mine off but I don't remember it being that bad after 15 years.

I've attached the manual in a PDF if which shows the flue being removed, etc. Kevin

I think you'll like them. It'll take a while to get them. The next thing will be getting the app installed and figuring out all the settings assuming you got the bluetooth BMS. I'm not sure what prices you see for those other battery packs on sale but you should be around $325 for your 120ah...
