Smoke do you mean this thread. http://www.wanderthewest.com/forum/topic/8839-when-things-almost-went-boom/

Craig yours looks a lot like mine. https://www.delcity.net/store/Maxi-Fuse-Holders/p_11183.h_36724.t_1 shown with the cover off showing the Maxi Fuse.

Captainphx I wish it was just as simple as just throwing in a bigger wire. The 6 gauge wire that I used was from Lowes if I had to do it again I would use 6 gauge welding wire like this https://smile.amazon.com/TEMCo-WC0450-Welding-Battery-Copper/dp/B01JMNKYEC/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8...

Backroad Joe it is not a "10 foot run" try 50 feet. You must count both directions. I used ALL of the 25 feet of red and 25 feet of black cable that I bought for this project and I only have a double cab truck not a club cab.

Captainphx my hawk is a 2012 with a 110 fridge and I got it from the factory with the same 85 watt solar panel. When I drove the White Rim trail (Road) I was in the full sun all day and the truck was running for over 5 hours each day but still I didn't have enough charging. My conclusion was...

Vic the one thing to note in this discussion that I haven't seen mentioned is that the SC-2030 is NOT recommended if your solar panel has anything other than 36 cells. See page 2 of bogart engineering user instructions...

The Sure Power Battery Separator should be installed as per the instructions http://www.fourwheelcampers.com/batteryseparator1315.pdf

I made a discovery that has helped me. I used to have to lower the spare tire whenever taking my tailgate on or off to plug or unplug the backup camera. If you remove the license plate you will find a large access panel allowing easy access to fish the wire around the spare. No more need to...

Scott You are not alone in thinking that you should be able to get better charging of your camper batteries from your truck. It seems that the group of people that have this problem. They are people who have compression refrigerators. I think that when FWC upgraded our campers to these...

Just so I would know, I fired up the water heater yesterday to see just how hot it does get. 141 on my meat thermometer. It feels so hot I thought that it was hotter than that.

David Yes the water heater does have a thermostat but unlike most water heaters it is not adjustable. The water can and does get very very hot. At a four wheel rally I brought up that my water heater gets so hot that water drops come out the pressure relief valve just as it stops heating. I was...

Different people have much different ideas as to what truck is best. For me it has to carry the load it was intended for without modification. When I traveled on the White Rim Trail in the summer of 2014 I wondered if my full sized GMC with Hawk would be to large. That was until I had this truck...

unbelievably large truck on the White Rim Road

Jim it looks like you have found one of the best reasons many of us carry portable panels. Placing a panel to point directly towards the sun GREATLY increases it's charging ability. This not only helps in the winter when the sun is lower but whenever we deploy our portable panels. I find I get...

Bombsight You did not say which what year GMC you have and it matters as different years have different plugs on the cameras. In November(2015) a year and a half after the release of the 2015s the after market caught up and now you can buy plug and play cameras for that year. 2016 is not a...

dasadab I have a 2015 2500 GMC for over a year I wondered what I should do to get a back-up camera working as it did when I had my tailgate on. Finally I took apart my tailgate to remove the camera and see if there was a way to mount it on the back of the camper. After doing it I don't know what...

Ethergore - I bought the Marineco plug from amazon http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B000NI38KS?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00 and yes it was expensive but it fit in the hole perfectly that was from the original installation by Four Wheel Camper. This plug is only rated for...

My 2012 Hawk has a 110 fridge and I got it with the 85 watt factory solar. It never seemed to charge well. Adding to the IOTA a Q4 plug vastly improved charging when plugged in to 110. Traveling down the road for hours or leaving it parked in the sun didn't give it the charging it needed in the...

Paul here is what I did. Switching out the factory solar panel for the grape solar panel was fairly straightforward of course the 160 W panel was much larger than the replaced panel. I have never installed any solar panels before so I just followed what four wheel camper did. Four wheel camper...

I have a September 2012 Hawk with the 110 fridge. I discovered early that the fridge can and sometimes does use a lot of power. The first thing I did to address the need for more amps was add to the battery capacity. I put in 2 new AGM group 30 110 Amp batteries. This was a good addition, I...

I just placed my order for one $203.82 after tax with free shipping. I already have one of these panels I have it hooked up to the Morningstar 6 amp PWM controller that was part of my from the factory solar setup. I regularly get 5.5 amps(75 watts) into my battery according to my Trimetric. I...

Bwht4x4- I installed my Tri-metric-RV as you can see in this photo. The case measured outside to outside is 4.25" by 3" the tabs on the top and bottom are an additional .5" each. You could remove these tabs by cutting them off as the back is solid without even a hole for the wire to go through...
