Is it lockable? Looks great for a SUP. www.mulehawk.com

I want one on my Tundra! www.mulehawk.com

Zamp literally has no idea how FWC wires up their products so they aren't much help unfortunately. Not their fault but that's how it goes. Sent from my iPhone using Wander The West

Instead of starting a new thread... My 15amp Zamp solar controller has been making a buzzing sound with my 100w roof panel and 120w portable plugged in when getting full sun. Anyone know what could be causing this? www.mulehawk.com

Mine has 3. Two behind the controller and one at the batteries as in the photo I posted. Not sure if I should upgrade the fuses behind the controller but they haven't been a problem for me. Just the one at the batteries. www.mulehawk.com

Ours took a beating earlier this month, large marble size at least. Solar panel and vent cover took it like a champ, the roof looks terrible but no leaks so I don't care. I do worry about hail larger than that punching a hole but not much I can do if we get stuck in another storm...

Hmm I wonder why FWC throws 10amp fuses in there if it's against Zamp recommendations? I'll give these 20amp fuses a try since I have them but I'll buy a pack of 30a just in case. www.mulehawk.com

Both are AGM. I called Zamp when the first fuse blew out and they weren't familiar with how FWC wires up their system which I found strange but they didn't say anything about my 15a controller. My portable panel has its own controller which I didn't realize isn't recommended by FWC until after I...

We kind of like it but hail on the other hand is brutal on our roofs... www.mulehawk.com

Figured as much but wanted to be sure, I'll buy a few and see if that fixes the problem. Should I upgrade all the fuses behind the charge controller too? They haven't blown but I don't want to have to keep driving 50+ miles to parts stores from our campsite in the boonies. www.mulehawk.com

I did a test since I have spare fuses with both panels connected and when they are pulling in more than 13 amps the fuse blows every time. My charge controller is the 15amp Zamp from the FWC factory, PaulT mentioned FWC only puts in the 30amp controller in new campers, could this be the problem...

we have 100w Zamp on the roof and 120w portable Zamp and we have now blown 3 fuses at the battery, today we blew the fuse, I replaced it and within 2 mins it blew out again. Am I bringing in too much power from my panels? This is one of the first sunny days we have had in weeks. I'm virtually...

That plaid is amazing! I would sport that with pride! www.mulehawk.com

If Toyota came out with a 3/4 or 1 ton SRW Tundra tomorrow I would break my piggy bank to get one. Until then I can't imagine getting rid of my current Tundra. I love it. I was a life long American truck homer until I test drove the Tundra. I'm a Toyota guy now for good unless the big 3 really...

Hey Paul! Thanks for the link, I will have to pick one of those up, it would be nice to monitor the fridge temp from the truck. It was great meeting you and your wife, thanks for all the info you gave us! www.mulehawk.com

I guess my concerns are that we are on the road full time and our fridge is always on. It hasn't been turned off for a month and a half. The camper is essentially our home for the next year so having everything working properly and reliably is huge for us. Spending money on campsites(we both...

The weather here in BC has been awful. Steady cloud cover/rain but I had hoped driving around going to different places would be enough to keep everything charged up, says I'm at 12.9v on my Zamp controller and tested the batteries the other day and both are fine. Maybe I'm just overly paranoid...

My batteries are fine they are at 13v currently and it is still clicking on and off. Any other ideas? Edit: I'll check what Stan said and see if it's working properly www.mulehawk.com

Mine is switching on and off as I type this. We are in BC and it has been overcast for days, this is the first I've heard it. I guess I need to upgrade my wiring. Sigh. This is getting expensive/annoying. www.mulehawk.com

This thread and running into Paul Thutt in Lake Louise has convinced me I need the trimetric and he pointed me in the right direction to have it installed when we get to Oregon. We are now in BC and it has been overcast virtually every day all day and I'm getting paranoid. With my roof mounted...

We are up here now, we have honestly found the best crown land free campsites by asking at visitor centers. Most of the employees know all the best spots and if you ask about crown land and free campsites they will usually go out of their way to help. We have found great campsites outside of...

We had a memory foam topper from our old bed that is quite comfy so we brought it along on just put it on top of the stock mattress. 5 days into our year long trip we got annoyed with the double thickness as it made closing the top tougher. At our campsite we took off the stock cover, cut our...

I've been thinking about this in the future after our year long trip. When I bought my camper and had it installed at FWC Jackson Hole, Denny mentioned that DIY bed liner will work great. www.mulehawk.com

I get 13.5 combined with the camper on. Pretty much the same at highway speeds. '13 Tundra 5.7. I'll take it. www.mulehawk.com

We chose a Tundra, mainly because they just drive better. It's like going from a Ford to a BMW with regards to steering feel and vehicle feedback. Night and day difference to me. I've never been a fan of how domestic trucks drive and I've had them all. Resale value on the Tundra will be...
