Thanks for the info. I guess I need to do something like that, too.

Is this happening with the roof down? Could the moisture be getting in not from the roof, but from lower down? Just a thought.

Hot air comes out of the top on my 2013 Fleet (if I understand the question.)

Safari typically handles this on its own very effectively. I almost said you couldn't clear the cache without clearing cookies, but discovered that as I have the developer menu turned on I can clear the cache. I've done so now and will report back when/if I see the floating window again... That...

Exactly, though the object is effectively empty, i.e., the value of the selection box is " ".

I've started seeing this floating window in the bottom right corner of my browser a couple of weeks ago, it only shows up once in a while: The selector box doesn't work, and pressing Go does nothing. I fired up the debugger and the object is: <div id="comment_moderate_box"...

Excellent report of a great trip. Wonderful photos, enjoyed the petroglyphs, especially the falling man.

You could do that, if you wanted to. I just wanted a space for gas that would hold it secure. With a Tacoma and Fleet the max storage height is 4", which is restrictive, but I know the space between cab and camper for other model trucks is larger. Others have used the space to store camp tables...

I've completed installation of my carrier. Here's the post with photos: http://www.wanderthewest.com/forum/topic/8665-rotopax-carrier-mounted-under-camper-over-cab/

There have been many posts on the best way to carry auxiliary fuel (or water) on our truck campers. I was inspired by the design of the late Jeff Lawrence where he build an enclosed Rotopax carrier to mount underneath the section of the camper that hangs over the cab. I didn't want to hang the...

Buckland, fabrication is complete. I'll start the installation process this week and post photos & description of the process shortly after completion as a new post, though I might link to it from here. The best price I found on the Rotopax was from Powersport Superstore who is an Amazon...

Thanks, Jim, and I haven't figured a good way to carry my bike, yet. Is your front receiver robust enough to be a recovery point (with a proper shackle insert)?

Here is the thread you want; it is pinned under Truck Campers. It will answer all your questions, especially regarding Tacoma and Fleet: Back-up Camera Thread

Kirk Creek is a beautiful spot perched on the bluffs above the ocean. The National Forest campground is quite popular, though so the best spots are often reserved. I think there may be dispersed camping up the Nacimiento road, but best to check first with the Padre NF folks. Photos of Kirk...

My configuration will hold three of the 2 gallon Rotopax. The fabrication is supposed to be done on Thursday. I'll have photos later.

Seems like I always end up camping in high winds. I now carry the screw-type jack stands to help stabilize the truck.

Buckland, have you seen this post? http://www.wanderthewest.com/forum/topic/4355-the-perfect-fuel-and-water-carrier/ I'm having something similar fabricated for my Tacoma and Fleet and will post photos of the installation in the next week or so.

Fred, Don't expect Toyota to make any changes to what the factory sells stock. Your dealer might provide some accommodation, but I'd guess not. I have a '13 Tacoma Access Cab with a Fleet, FYI. I was going to drive my stock tires, they were very fine on the highway, until they wore down, then...

Captm, when I looked at the campground map on the NPS website, I could tell this was on Loop D of the North Campground, but couldn't find the exact site. By checking the Google Satellite Map I was able to see the official map was poorly drawn. By combining the two, I determined I was in site...

I suspect many FWC owners of campers made in the last 5 years will have gotten the recall notice. Mine came today. Fortunately, my lock was not one that was affected. Though I generally only use the household style deadbolt that FWC supplies, not the lock integrated into the door handle, which...

Jonathan's articles are always full of useful information, so even if I don't follow exactly what he does, I feel better that my decisions are based upon greater knowledge. I put the Bilstein 5100's on the rear of my Tacoma last year. They helped, but the front and rear then felt out balance -...

I really liked Jeff's scheme. I modified the concept a bit, and am having it fabricated now. I'll hang it from underneath the overhang. That panel on my Fleet is said to be 3/4" thick lumber-board, with formica sheathing, and is held by an aluminum 'C' channel so it's very strong. The carrier I...

I've recently been researching satellite communication devices online and looked here on the forum, but only found one reference to the inReach device in an old thread on the SPOT messenger. I'm including some general background on the device and my thoughts below and would be interested if...

Cool video (and a reminder to me to try taking many short clips to edit into a video theme.)

Thanks, Stew. That makes perfect sense, now that you've explained it. And, yes, I did get an email notice that you'd commented on my photo - great feature.
