I definite endorse this ladder...it is a little spendier, but takes the steps right up to the bed level...we have used it now for 3years...2 inserts screw on to the bed frame.. taped a 1" section of foam installation around the mounting hardware at the top to "tighten" the connection with the...

Like others above, we have to towel the moisture after each sleep...particularly where our heads lie (next to front wall)... at night we always leave the passenger side window cracked slightly open and set the fan at 10% ... if raining(the fan will automatically close) we try to crack the upper...

Thanks Wallowa...you have given a great cleaning template for our Fleet...

Wallowa...thanks for the clorox system cleaning approach...my wife was wondering how much to use? 1/2 cup does it... our Fleet water system is very simple--just 20 gal holding tank + circulating pump + cold water faucet use (no hot water, shower, etc.), so to repeat: 1) fill water tank to...

thanks for the feedback...Wallowa, thanks for helping me better understand the pipe durability...again, my ignorance has been "undated"... our baking soda/vinegar + hot water rinse can proceed as needed--probably once a year...

again, fellow 4Wheelers--will the baking soda/vinegar solution affect the flex pipe used in our Fleet? not sure what kind of pipe 4Wheel uses ... most other articles outside this forum use this method with NO mention of it harming drain pipes in RVs... thanks for any of your feedback...

Normally at home we use baking soda and vinegar mix setting for 30 seconds and flush with hot water to clean our drains/pipes... in our 2016 Fleet, we have about a 3 foot drain hose from our sink to the outside drain... the pipe looks like flexible rubber piping(?)... not sure if the baking...

Phil...yes, Rando's info helpful as well as yours...will be checking the "Battery Type" setting soon...if the Li setting is there, good to go,..if not, an alternate setting should be ok for the Li battery when we get one... Curious to see if my version is the older or newer ... and guess what...

Rando... specs page says: 2-6: Absorption charging voltage @ 25C --LTO type battery: 14.0 / +/-0.2 --Gel type battery: 14.1// +/-0.2 --LiFePO4 battery: 14.4// " --AGM type battery (default setting): 14.4 // +/- 0.2 --WET type battery: 14.7// " --Calcium type battery: 14.9 // " In the "Features"...

Phil, thanks for your info...some of it I understand, some of it I don't... still sounds like some "unknowns" about the Zamp controller we got from the factory...no intent now to expand our solar panels beyond the factory installed 160 I believe...guess I need to dive in more to better...

Thanks Paul for the local vendor reference--assume that is Springfield OR...still would like clear confirmation that the Zamp controller will not "do the job" of a Li battery vs. AGM...may have to do some of my own research...but will keep watching what other members offer on this post... Brad...

Phil, bummer--that's what I have in our '16 Fleet--the Zamp ZS30...not comfortable with doing this electrical upgrade myself...but would be willing to pay someone to do the upgrade--maybe the local 4W dealer here in Pdx...what do you estimate the parts cost of a new Controller and other goodies...

ugg,..that the FWC Zamp Controller does not support these new lithium batts?? was that the factory installed unit? ... what does the FWC factory folks say about that...maybe worth a "consult" with them...as many with 2016 units are coming up to battery replacement time...I see us in the near...

Bill, Vic...thanks for your thoughts... have tried adjusting the roof latch tensions--no noticeable difference... Vic, can't say it is our p/u roof but rather the camper...Jay at 4W suggested this solution...saying it would deflect enough air to lessen the pressure on the camper/camper...

Jack, nice narrative your install...could you also post photos of the truck/camper installed...hard to imagine your final setup...currently we have our Fleet on a 92 Nissan...want to buy a full size truck(more power, higher weight capacity desired)... will also need to "retro fit" with bed panel...

Check out the latest 4-Wheel posts at the top of this site...4-W is installing a new, lighter solar panel out their factory...can't remember the brand, but remember seeing the factory post about 5 months ago...you could also call Stan at 4-Wheel... he is always helpful with answers or referrals...

Radar, we also sewed exterior no seeum covers for all our screened windows... we purchased the yardage from a Seattle fabric store (ships promptly, inexpensive...not sure of the name, but a search should turn it up easily)...sewed velcro to edges and left the "sticky side" on the screens until...

I know it has been "months" since I talked to Jay about how to eliminate roof popping when driving especially at highway speeds(55 mph +)...Jay had suggested installing a "bug guard" on the front bumper of our 92 Nissan p/u... Since the conversation in February, I purchased and installed the...

Just talked to Jay @ 4Wheel...after discussing the issue, he suggested putting a bug guard on the front hood of our 93' Nissan truck...he felt just that small addition might change the aero flow over the truck/camper to eliminate any roof popping due to winds while on the road... Will get that...

Stan... Thanks for responding and who to call at 4 Wheel... will be contacting Jay in the next few days... will post any pertinent info after I talk to him... Brad

Just re-read the "Oil Canning..." post of 2014...the issue addressed there was when campers were parked and in a wind...haven't been in a "windy camping" setting yet to experience... but our problem is while driving into a wind or past an oncoming vehicle's wind wash... these are the conditions...

We have a 2016 Fleet w/ 160 solar on roof…mounted on 93 Nissan 4x4, V6… we regularly check our turnbuckles to confirm that they are “tinging” tight…they have not needed any tightening the last 2 or 3 uses of the rig…we just returned from trip that included freeway and state roads—about 600 mile...

knoxswift... thanks for the photos and f/up... could you please restate your cost / area covered with your purchase...your first try at a cost was a bogus entry... thanks

Thanks knoxswift..yes would enjoy some photos ... also curious to know what you paid for your pads... have a safe enjoyable Xmas trip.

Knoxswift... it appears dri-dek comes in 2 thickness one for patio etc, one for boat use(Amazon listings)... which did you use? and do you cover the entire (pulled out) bed mattress area? if so, how do you store extra matting when bed is collapsed back to riding position? Looks like about...
