This popped up, from YouTube, after having a phone conversation with my (engineer from birth) oldest son. This is not the first time my iPad has listened to me & “helpful” videos have appeared out of the blue. This was topical.

Further mounting info. The folding shower, frame & bag, is attached to a sizable, rear aluminum, mounting bar. The bar has 2 recessed slots that run the length of the bar. Slide a bolt into the slot & the bolt head is held by the slot. 2 in the upper slot, 1 in the lower. The bolts end up being...

I learned the included install measurements are based on a roof style previous to my 2018 Grandby Shell. So, the lower roof flair may be different with different vintages. I would not recommend going lower than 2 5/8” unless you are intimate with your vintage framework. The top two holes go...

Interior, bolt through, mounting view. Following the included instructions (be sure to use the butyl tape) I found the tent to be slightly too snug to the lowered roof after my initial mount attempt. Every roofline may be a snowflake, but I found mine, viewed closely after the fact, to have a...

Shower tent extended. 4 straps offer adjustable length. Basic stakes & guy line included. Positive about the quality is my first impression. Very comparable to the Australian model I viewed at a FWC rally.

Here is one of my last remaining bucket list items, a drop down shower curtain. Outdoor bathing handy & ready. Quick out, quick up. This is about 1/2 the price of the Australian unit that has been out for a couple years. This seems solid, well made. I am happy so far. I will report more in a day...

My use ... I figure 50/50 USA highway travel vs 4x4 off road, medium duty. Ford 150 long bed, Grandby Shell Bob Wohlers “torture tested” Geo M/T G003 tires. Says it’s his favorite tire, never before has he recommended any tire, & heartily recommends the entire Yoko Geo lineup. The X-AT seems to...

Here is a Will Prowse video & his take on the above mentioned Renogy unit. He is positive about it. It does combine both aspects of a charger & a controller in one unit. But, it seems, you might need to be able to isolate dc/dc while driving, & then likewise mppt for solar usage when not...

Mr Cougar here’s some thoughts with LFP4 & my eventual system plan. I called/talked to 4 different battery companies to learn about lithium planning. There were concerns about an alternator/LA truck battery to LFPO4 house battery connection. It’s important, I was told, to understand your...

Thanks David. Yeah, that does make sense considering the inherent seasonality of DVNP. We will extend the perimeter a bit plus my wife wants to visit Alabama Hills. Happy Trails ...

Timely post Bill, helpful info to wade through for our upcoming visit. We had originally planned for Feb. 3 as well. - Go Niners - Now postponed for a week or so due to babysitting requests & Grandkid’s BDay parties. Have not been to Death Valley since our early married years & can’t wait for a...

Thanks for the info. 2 x 3.5 obviously = 7. My Camper H2O tank is 7. Perfect refill for me when I would have to hand fill. I might buy 2 more or maybe get the 2 x 1.75. I like that the spigot is removable, especially nice for travel. I carry a 2gal upright fixed spigot tank for outside camp H2O...

The WaterBrick looks interesting. Is the regular 2 pack, 2 x 1.75 gal, or 2 x 3.5 gal? Can they detach from one another?

Good tip above. Whatever the purchase, get one #1 with a full coverage rainfly &, what would qualify by name or otherwise, #2 a “bathtub bottom”.

Thanks ... My first exterior accessory mount was only a 12V cig socket. The triple accessory mount I added later does have 2 USB ports, above & below, included in with the 12V LED Display. If you tap on the right most pic, in post #10, & enlarge the view, you can see them. My Bad, I never...

I dealt with Jen, a couple years ago, when I was seriously considering a BunduKort. It was a 1/2 ton model which now is discontinued? She was great. They were very agreeable about alteration if at all possible. I ended up with a FWC Grandby Shell which is now about 80% built out. One recommended...

Yes, that would be a Big Boy Battery Box. Congrats on your Camper. I meant to post a Bundutec reply, a while back, but got tied up with Family Life & forgot. You are better off with this LFP4 battery long term. Hope Santa brings your Camper.

No mods, HD factory Truck. The “upgraded leaf springs”, I think, is just the addition of another leaf spring. Along with the other HD additions I read somewhere that the front end may be a little beefier, along with the bearings, but can not confirm that info. This combo would not have been in...

Perspective after ~18 months ... Truck - 2018 Ford F-150, HD 4x4, 3.5L EB V6 ... Camper - 2018 FWC Grandby Shell. Truck is a Lariat SuperCab long bed. Lariat HD adds 36 gal tank, upgraded leaf springs, 3.73 locking rear axle, 9.75 gear, 18” HD wheels. All this adds to an increase in the...

Loved being reminded about this, somewhat lesser known, interesting area. I’ve visited from Vegas during a Cirque du Soleil week. Yeah, The Professionals is definitely a top 5 western. Big time, Old school, film stars during their prime. Also seeing where Kirk, during his last adventure in the...

The power box was built to be, independent, portable energy storage. It’s Solar renewable & has accessory input flexibility. It needs to be light, for its primary intended purpose, to power an electric DIY fishing canoe. Another Battery chemistry could be used but would not fit the Box with the...

Purchased & just installed the CT50K. So far I think it is the answer, for my 2018 FWC furnace, to allow a temp setting below 50F. It is a manual unit needing no battery, which is a plus, but is non-programmable. I now have a good low temp option (below 50F) of 35F to 40F. Obviously it heats...

I do not need programmable complexity. I want 35-40 low temp setting option at night. I may give this unit a go in either the vertical or horizontal configuration & Hope for the best...

Interesting spots to check out, thanks. Hwy 88 corridor has been well used, glad to learn more.

Consider this battery monitor. Got this recently for my son (budget alternative to Victron). He seems to like it so far & is much closer to an electrical guru than myself. 2nd Rando’s recommend to add a portable panel, brand does not matter, impt w/similar specs, through your back wall solar...
