Hi, Luke-- I see page 29 of the manual has these troubleshooting steps... ----- 2. Electrode sparking, but gas not coming through burner: a. Check to see if voltage is coming out of module board to gas valve after the 12 - 18 second delay. Check the wires in the molex connector to be sure...

Thursday, August 29... 2006 FWC Eagle on a red Nissan Frontier with Illinois plates at the Togue Pond entrance gate to Baxter State Park, Maine (home of Mount Katahdin, northern terminus of the Appalachian Trail). I was at the gate registering to enter and he was approaching to exit. We...

I have those panels for my Clam Traveler. Just for info: I am able to put mine back in the carry bag with the panels still attached. I can't quite get the zipper closed the whole way but it closes enough for storage (about half way). On a trip last Fall we had quite a bit of rain and often...

The Iota converter was the first thing that jumped into my mind but in this case I believe we're reading about the Iota IDP-30 Distribution Panel used on many FWC campers (except shell models) up to 2012. The IDP-30 contains the AC and DC distribution panels and is also referred to as a power...

I imagine the jacks will be on the Hawk when you pick it up as you'll need them to load. You may want to consider removing them for the trip home. You can of course check the view and make your own decision at the time. But if you take along the wrenches/sockets to remove them you have the...

While I often see the argument about an inverter being inefficient, I don't get why I should care about that in charging my laptops with a small inverter. I've not had any problem just going ahead and doing it. I've been running my MacBook Pro 13 and my wife's Mac Book Pro 15 off a little $35...

There's something odd going on with Google Search and that thread (at least for me). I had a hard time finding it earlier this week when I wanted to add a post to it. After many tries for keywords I knew were in there, I finally just scrolled down through the posts until I found it. I've...

I don't know if this will help but I found a video of a 1998 Elkhorn 8S showing the cable... Elkhorn 8S video I positioned it to start at the one-minute mark. I believe that's the 7-pin cable as that's the general area many truck campers use for that purpose. The shorepower connection is...

It's interesting to read through the Installation and Operations instructions for those Leisure Components hand pumps/water fixtures. We see model numbers, the difference between standard and low-boy versions, differences of three-way and two-way versions, a cut-out template, hook-up diagrams...

Brian of RV with Tito is at it again... the video below was just published yesterday. It's a review of the new WeBoost "Drive X RV" cell phone booster kit. The booster itself is a re-labelled 4 GX but it's now paired with the latest OTR (over the road) trucker antenna. As I just recently...

After a bit of searching, I see it's a manual water pump/faucet combination with two inputs-- one from the water tank and one from the city-water line. All the ones I'm finding online have a handle so I assume the top photo was taken with the handle removed or broken off. I think we can see...

Frank, if you're referring to the Rieco-Titan electric lift, yes, it's possible for the roof to be stuck in the up position or part-way down due to an electrical problem. The lift can reportedly be operated 'manually' in that case with a flexible shaft you chuck into a drill motor and put into...

My brother drove out to Oshkosh, Wisconsin for the annual Experimental Aircraft Association event last week. He sent me this photo of a camping rig parked nearby. I've seen a lot of truck campers but never one with the door there. I wonder what the other end looked like? And the inside...

I'm not finding a whole lot on the Roof Jenie. It appears to be an electric motor and hydraulic cylinder assembly designed to replace the hand-crank winch assembly on a pop-up tent trailer... specifically the one manufactured by Goshen Stamping Company for 11 of the major tent-trailer...

First order of business would be the battery....you don't want it sitting around in a discharged state. The battery probably hasn't been destroyed. I've fully discharged my van's AGM battery twice (by accident, of course) and recovered it. I even joke that the full discharges must have...

I remember seeing a post from Stan about FWC's experience with it... Stan's 2015 post on Roadmaster Active Suspension .

Thanks, smlobx. We had such a great time. A couple of other things come to mind as I think back on it... Baggage restrictions on our flights. The New Zealand Air folks were strict on baggage limits so be sure to research current limits and excess-baggage fees. We struggled to keep...

This another drain valve replacement thread includes a photo of yours, Vic (and Bernard's). Readers may also be interested in the other concepts in that thread --- door bumper extension, plumbing to the pressurized side of pump and using an air pressure fitting at the hose fill to drain more...

So can I ask what you learned about the MC4-to-SAE adapter? Did it turn out to be ok or did you end up doing something else? .

Hi, Fred... Glad to see your fridge is working well. Thanks for letting us know how it turned out! On your LPG question.... You may want to view this video about how LPG systems are tested by RV technicians. It's helpful for the principles behind the testing process and provides interesting...

Hi, WjColdWater.... My experience with my Hawk on an '01 F150 and a '13 Tundra is that I didn't HAVE to add airbags but in the end I decided I wanted them. And I'm glad I decided to go ahead. I had bought my Hawk used and as a rig (both truck and camper). The previous owner never had...

----- D_Eddy said... My electrical connection to the truck on my 2016 Hawk is not working. I have cleaned the three pronged connector which has power on the truck side. Does anyone know how to test the camper side connection? I have no voltage across on the on the fermale posts despite...

Your post brought to mind Blue Ridge Overland Gear as I know they make an alternative to the Trasharoo. I see they also do a smaller 'tire storage bag' which would looks like an interesting possibility for your purpose. https://youtu.be/KABOHzDxTB8?t=104 You might give them a call and...

I believe Washington state covers this in the definition of a camper.... ------ RCW 46.04.085 Camper. "Camper" means a structure designed to be mounted upon a motor vehicle which provides facilities for human habitation or for temporary outdoor or recreational lodging and which is five...
