Hey B.Bill, I was out working on my truck (2007 Tacoma access cab) this afternoon and realized that I have the perfect tools for taking one of your measurements with good accuracy: a couple of drywall squares. I don't have a camper on my truck so it was easy to measure the height of the cab. I...

You're right, Jim, a lot of useful info is now missing from the FWC website -- like the sizes of the beds and floorplans. Why is that, Stan? I was assuming a longways upper bed (or "north-south"' as some call it) and that's what I saw at the factory. I lay on the bed for a while and the...

Hi Folks, I’ve been watching this forum for a few months now because I’m trying to decide whether to get a Four Wheel Camper. My girlfriend and I are 64-year-old retirees living in Virginia. We are too old for sleeping on the ground, putting up tents in the rain and all that. But we want to...

The FWC installation also includes a mat or plastic plate the same thickness as the brackets which fits between the brackets and supports the camper, so it isn't only resting on the brackets. I saw this when I visited the factory last fall, but I don't remember what the mat is made of. It...

Hey Camper101, That link about "How to make a cheap battery isolator" was good (and fun). He bought copper lugs, but I have always just made them. Here's how: Get copper (or brass) tubing that fits pretty well over your wire (just the conductors, not the insulation and this only works with...

I'm picturing a setup with a couple of sprockets that attach to the jacks on each side and a bicycle-type chain between them. With two people and two drills, you could just keep going until you reach the height you want. Probably too much trouble!

Great link about Propane 101! Everyone should read it. Thanks.

Hi Folks, I'm new here. I'm thinking about getting a front-dinette Fleet for my 2007 Tacoma next spring, considering the various options. Meanwhile, I've been watching this forum and leaning a lot! I have a question for you, Stan. In an interview with Truck Camper Magazine about a year ago...
