If I remember Back to the Future correctly it is only a lightening strike that can generate giga watts of surge. So I think as long as you are not planning to be struck by lightening your need for surge protectors is greatly reduced. Back to the Future was not real, it was a movie. It takes...

From the lack of responses it seems that not many here are using surge protectors. Maybe not really an issue to be concerned about? Next time I plug into shore power I'll try one of the power strips I have laying around. The only real draw would be the frig and furnace. If plugging in a cheap...

Good Advice Walt, and I have already contacted Deaver Springs. They have a great reputation locally and way beyond, but after talking to them on the phone they wanted to see the rig. I think ideally the would build me all new springs, but with price in mind they said they may be able to rework...

My 2000 Ranger 4x4 had springs that were dead anyway when I started looking for my FWC so I went from the 3 leaf standard springs with their rating of 1250 lbs to 5 leaf two stage springs which upped my rating to 1750 lbs, more than enough for the Eagle. Two stage springs are designed to handle...

I'm putting a Shell Hawk order together. Need some help! Does anyone know if its possible to get the additional drivers side louvered window and the forced air furnace with cabinet & propane? I'm not sure if there's enough room on the drivers side to build both. And, does anyone know if its...

Quite an adventure Walt! So with all that new stuff crammed inside are you able to cook and sleep and such? Travel safe and have fun! We look forward to hearing more details of your adventure. Well, the Eagle has landed, back home now. The Eagle is a shell model, I want to cook I'll have to...

Great to hear your news. Fantastic gas mileage with your 3.0L, V6. The best I can do is about 21 mpg with my 4.0L, V6 and going slow, checking my ScanGuage II (engine computer connected, too). My ATC Bobcat is about the same... 1/4" on each side in the back. That makes loading the camper a...

Well, I'm a few blocks from FWC, go for stuff to add on tomorrow when they open. I'm one day ahead of my expected timing. It's not safe to sleep in your truck cab in a rest stop on I-40 in the Texas panhandle, even if properly parked. Woke from sound sleep in the middle of the night to a thump...

Well, tomorrow I head clear cross country to pick up the Eagle, parts for the Eagle at FWC, and maybe a cat who will be a companion on the way back, a extra bed warmer is always welcome as the shell has no heat. Combining everything made it more worthwhile with the combined shipping costs...

Thanks Alley-Kat for the photos and description. All the info helps, don't want to arrive 2500 miles from here and not have brought some bit I needed. I've the same year supercab 4x4 Ranger, mine is the 3 liter version. So the photos look very familiar. Also nice to have someone with the exact...

For misc parts, part prices, pieces, and eye bolt locations you will need to call our service department and ask for Terry. If you have the camper serial number, the year of the camper, or the name of the original owner of the camper, I can probably get the eye bolts location measurements for...

Shipping will probably be expensive. Yep, so far that's what I'm getting. Cheapest so far is still a road trip. And that may be the best way. Just got the word from "she who must be obeyed" that I should go and get it unless something turns up real soon. So a long road trip may be what I...

And the SMEV sink went this morning. Still have the SMEV Range, the D&W Shower Port and the Sure Power Battery Separator. Any takers at $350 for everything? Give me a holler if you are interested in any of these. Thanks. I'll take the Shower Port if you still have it.

I've found a Eagle Shell that's in apparent good shape and a decent price for what it is. A shell is probably our best way to go as what stuff I want to put in is mostly not standard and I have no problem about doing my own build. But it's in Reno and I live 50 miles East of Atlanta, GA. Sure...

What to look for or order kind of comes down to things that are hard to change later, but needed. First on that list for me is the sliding front window, with the accompanying boot. Not sure they even offer that now, seems to be a tiny one instead. How is this important? Well, when traveling you...

WaltK, best of luck in your search. PM brp and ask if he would take a look at it and maybe some photos - might cost you a six pack, a bottle of wine, or a pound of bacon. Value and sale price is always that dance between buyer and seller. This seems top dollar for this rig, so for me the value...

FWC Eagle in Minnesota, 2000 model, $9500. Not mine http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/hnp/rvs/3096898046.html I live pretty close to this camper, might be able to take a look at it or otherwise help a forum member. Looking at photos only tells so much, and I'm in Georgia, a long way to go to...
