Thanks for the replies fellas. I have come to a conclusion that I just had to caulk up around the window some more. I do not have a pass thru window on my truck. I would be interested in getting rid of the opening window for a solid piece of glass like Tom speaks of. Any chance of that...

Hi... Pod8 has a good observation, and the leak is caused by the driving rain overpowering the weep holes in the window. A sliding window has to have an escape route for water in the track, hence the weep holes. We have changed over to a different style window - lift out rather than slider...

From what I see in the picture and after reading this analysis of the Happijac system it looks to me that the tiedown install improperly translates forces through the rear tiedown that are meant to be carried through the front tiedown. The front should angle back and the rear can be forward to...

Hi all, Yes, as Stan says, we are studying how to build a longe cabover, and progress has been made. BUT, we're not there yet. Part of the challenge is designing a one piece weatherproof structure that will tolerate overland travel, not just KOA campgrounds. We've figured out the "skin" and now...

Great job Tom.Nice cameo Stan...Celeste needs more camera time.Good idea not to put Budd infront of the camera!!Just kiddin Terry.. Howdy, Thanks for the compliment! Stan is a driving force behind getting these videos done, so he deserves a lot of credit. We'll try to drag Celeste out from...

Great job, waiting for part 3. One thing if I can ask here, want are the new sealants you use. So many on the market. Thks Hi Griz, Incredibly enough, some manufacturers are still using putty tape and silicone as primary sealants. Over the last ten years, we have transitioned over to a number...

Hi to all, John F was right about the vinyl repair kit idea. The fabric used in the Four Wheel pop-up "liner" is a vinyl coated polyester fabric. The base fabric (scrim) is polyester, because it has excellent compression/extension resistance. Best quality fabric uses a vinyl coating, not...

First of all, my apologies for the very lengthy delay in sending out a bulletin on the Sure Power 131x series separator recall. Four Wheel has been working closely with Sure Power. Essentially, the problem that was found in the separator needed a redesign, and during new unit testing, an...

Four Wheel is finalizing plans with Sure Power for a recall, and an announcement will be made as early as tomorrow, Aug. 2. Thanks you for your patience. Tom Hanagan, President.

That's an old stock number which has been updated. It is for the Sure Power 1314 separator that is involved in the recall.

We are considering all campers produced from 2009 until present as possibly affected by the recall, so please do not remove panels or make any modifications. We are working directly with Sure Power and Cooper Bussman senior management to address this situation with the greatest urgency. As soon...

Four Wheel is working closely with Cooper Bussman on the best way to handle the recall of Cooper Bussmann's products. We are discussing with Cooper Bussman the specific directions and procedures to follow. We have noticed on message boards comments about how a person could on his/her own...

One of the features I really like in other pop ups that wouldn't work in an FWC because it increases the thickness of the cab over which is counter to the goal is the under bed storage for clothing. With the hard side is that going to be an option? Thanks for the good question! No plans at this...

mtnman, please post what you find out I'd like to know what unit they are using now. The CCI unit has been replaced by a combo LP amd CO detector made by Atwood, located just above floor level. A retrofit kit is being put together to replace units that have gone south. Give the shop a call if...

I may be completely nuts but I have the sense that using the window boot improves gas mileage and reduces highway wind noise. Anyone got data on this? No, you're not nuts... the boot interrupts a degree of eddying, therefore more quiet. The gas mileage issue is a bit more elusive, but I think...

The door frame was modified quite some time ago by the supplier to the door manufacturer. The support in the frame is stronger, and we haven't seen any problems in campers newer than about three or four years old. The glass is strong, and very rarely breaks (usually an impact). We have used a...

despite the warranty, they can last for a long time - years - or a short time. I think it has to do with the creature itself, meaning electronics and the sensing device, or the environment it is exposed to. A very oily vapor could coat the sensor - about the size of a pinhead - and compromise...

Terri... the detectors are very sensitive to organic vapors... and can go south if contaminated... or just plain "wear out". If you need help hooking it back up, call the service dept. at either Woodland or Riverside... they help walk you through it. tom

diesel update Hi all... anybody out there interested in an update on diesel appliances? Tom
