I've recently been getting tweets from FWC with links to a new series of YouTube videos. Looks like Stan's been busy... Stan Kennedy (Four Wheel Campers) "Camper Troubleshooting" series of videos Well done, Stan!

Sounds like the Iota DLS-30 charger isn't charging. Some possibilities come to mind... - Master switch (aka Kill Switch) -- must be set at the Out position for the DLS30 to charge the batteries via shorepower (see p 57 of the FWC 2017 owner's manual) - AC circuit breaker for circuit to the...

Welcome, Powderhound! This excerpt from the Newer Six Pac Owner's Manual (from here) tells us how the electrical system originally worked on that camper and the description may be helpful to you as an overview... -------- "ELECTRICAL SYSTEM Depending on the options installed, the electrical...

I see I missed this in my post yesterday --- it's #30 in the Battery Tender's Wireless FAQ and directly addresses the issue I mentioned above..... 30. I have a single SSID for both 2.4 and 5 GHz bands on my router. Will I be able to use the Wireless Battery Monitor? Currently, if you have a...

I'm still struggling with the diagrams in the truck camper loading document. I must be thinking of something incorrectly as I can't make sense of them with GT-Jim's numbers.... First, I see this diagram (from the link above).... (click to enlarge) So basically we're trying to determine...

I happen to have some (not so good) experience with one of those. I bought it on a whim at my local auto store more than a year ago and was disappointed it wouldn't work with the router in my home. Unless there's been a change, it doesn't work on a dual-band network. It requires a 2.4 GHz-only...

Update on my Dash Cam 55 experience -- (Some general, some specific to the Dash Cam 55) In general -- I recorded my first illegal act a few days ago. Fortunately, it was a minor one. I was following a guy who was speeding up and slowly down at odd intervals. I suspect he was a bit tipsy...

All- I happened to park beside Jtree's UrsaMinor/Jeep rig at Main Line Overland's recent Fall Open House event in West Chester, PA and took a couple of quick photos of it. . Just before I left, I saw he had the Jeep's doors opened up and I took the opportunity to check out the Goose...

I too came up short trying to find an online or US source for that specific one in the post 1 photo. It's a Camec 007912 per the caravansplus listing. Those guys don't sell internationally and apparently neither do the Camec stores in Australia. If you're up for possible alternatives, I ran...

Thanks, GT-Jim. I appreciate it! That's what I expected for CWR but that B-dimension is a puzzler. .

All- I ran onto this 2018 General Motors Truck Camper Loading document today and see it provides some useful definitions and concepts for this thread (like cargo weight rating, payload, longitudinal center of gravity, A and B dimensions, etc) And it has some surprising info--- like some GM...

GT-Jim... There should be a Truck Camper Loading Information label in your Silverado's glovebox. If you don't mind, can you tell us what it says for CWR (Cargo Weight Rating) and A and B measurements? Thanks.

It may be because of driver and passengers weight assumptions in whatever you're looking at. With a 900-pound difference, that may be 6 passengers at 150 pounds each. I say this because I happen to have been looking at the following chart from the manual for my '13 Tundra earlier today.... in...

Thank you, thank you. The 'made by Hydro Flame' part helped me also learn a bit about that... like the fact that Atwood merged with Hydro Flame Corporation in 1993 (I assumed the term was something Atwood came up with). And dropping 'Atwood' in the search also led to this Hydro Flame...

Wow... great post, Stan. I guess it was kind of like a concept car.... but in this case a "concept camper". Thanks for the info! .

While looking for something else, I ran onto an article in Truck Camper Magazine on the 2009 Eagle Overland model. It's a pretty interesting build.... - A premium model for Tacoma, Frontier, Dakota, and Land Rover Defender - 6 inches wider than a standard Eagle - tan-color soft-sides -...

That exhaust vent looks like the one in this Atwood Heater Removal video (starting at about 7:30 into the video) and Wayne also had problems removing his. In any case, it appears the exhaust tube assembly should just pull out after removing the exterior screws (if it weren't for the rust). I...

Not really a light show, no. But it was an odd feeling seeing the snow move strangely and a green snake rear up out of it and run into my snowblower.

I had to use my snowblower in mid-November this year. That doesn't normally happen here. And the snow happened so early in the year that I still had a motorcycle parked in the driveway. And of course I had an extension cord running to its battery maintainer. So now I have more extension...

Imagine yourself (and your rig) in this situation..... "River Rising" article in Truck Camper Magazine .

I see there are a number of signs, decals, and stickers available on the web for that. Still, I'd think it important to research what 'consent' means where the dash cam will be used. I've seen the argument made that a reasonably-prominent sign and the passenger's failure to object is 'implied...

I took this photo of the front page of the furnace manual in a new Fleet at the New England FWC dealer last month. (Click to enlarge) Unfortunately, it doesn't tell us if the 12,000 btu furnace in the camper is the SA or S model. This AF-Series Technical Installation manual of 5/2014, page...

As a result of all the dash cam videos I've been watching on YouTube lately, this one popped up yesterday. I believe it's an important subject for anyone using or considering a dash cam.... what are the legal ramifications of using one? My state is a two-party-consent state so I have to...

I bought a Garmin Dash Cam 55 about two weeks ago and am not to the point of saying I'd recommend it or not. I just don't have enough experience with it much less its competitors. But I thought I'd go ahead and post my experience thus far. I started looking for a dash cam after missing a...

Mitchell Fishing Hut--- post 2 of 2.... And as this is written, it's for sale.... either as a rig or camper only... https://fortcollins.craigslist.org/cto/d/88-chevy-k3500-mitchell-camper/6734938524.html
