I'm a little slow at times so pardon me if you all already figured this out, but the bungee cord that must be stretched between the window coverings when you take the top down, also fits nicely across the back panels. I put a roll of paper towels up there and use some of those cheap carabiners...

Fantastic gents. Thanks for the thorough write ups and parts description.

I've got a FWC Raven shell which had the Thule racks when I bought it. I'd like to mount a 100 watt or so panel and use the pre-wired SAE plug to charge a battery or two that I intend to mount into the interior side benches (its a shell, so there is no battery compartment, no cabinetry other...

Thanks for the links & directions. Believe it or not I did try to search but you pros led me to the gold.

I'm going to need an awning for my Raven shell which is very short (N-S) so the Fiamma & others will be too long, I think. The body of the Raven is 70" and the top latch on the side would prevent mounting unless it is moved. And I'm looking for DIY ideas to save a little $$. Anybody got ideas...

Got any more details or pics of the sides of your table build there? I want to make a table from my bedboard and am looking for ideas! TIA

Sorry for late reply. I like it but have not used it much. I like how it catches ash at the bottom, makes it safer & somewhat easier to clean. I just use a shopping tote bag, shove it in, but their carry bag would be worth having.

It was just a simplistic comparison but most PV vendors rate their output much higher than you'll realize in real world camping. And you have to be in one, sunny place for a while, I presume, to get maximum watts of output. How many watts of PV do you have? Brand? Certainly the more panels you...

Maiden voyage around Wyoming. Gotta see the Tetons.

12 v fridge or cooler, I think, depends on what you are doing and, of course, your budget. And whether you are in North America/Europe or a developing country. Even with solar, you have to be able to stop for a day or two in good sun to recharge a battery. Solar is really just a kind of trickle...

Anybody have a link to a source for this audio speaker jack? What is the range of the jack you are using? Does it have to be put on to a box or something to get it high enough? TIA.

The FWC Raven is small, made for short box pickups. I think I have a pretty good approach to gear and strategies for travel and what to do when I stop to camp. But I'm always interested in others' approach to packing gear and handling it while in camp. So what are your packing strategies and...

Primus Kamoto OpenFire Pit, comes with a grate that fits on top for grilling. Folds flat, about the size of a big laptop. $129.95...

[sharedmedia=core:attachments:28496] I call that the "guest bedroom." In my small Raven shell, I've got a piece of plywood and a 1x12 that stretch across the gap between the sides of the camper making a platform that is as wide (E-W) as the top bunk. I think it is 77" wide, IIRC, so even my...

Ball bungees (or whatever you all want to call them) work well for temporary mounting of things like this small 12v fan on the roof push up board. I mounted this so it is close to me so it is moving air where it has the most impact --on me! The dual fans allow the 2nd one to be pointed down to...

Ball bungees for temporary mounting of 12v dual fan.

I was looking at a campground just east of the East entrance of Yellowstone NP, Three Mile, on the north fork of the Shoshone River which said "no popup Campers." Anyone know if this ban would include a Four Wheel truck Camper with a poptop? He'd have to be a pretty tall bear to reach the soft...

Tomato, tomahto. :P

Cheapo way to add loops to attach small bungees, etc. These are small nylon "R" clamps, universally available at Ace, Home Depot, in the electrical supplies section. I put them where there were existing screws, replacing the beauty washers so I did not lose screw purchase. Work well for those...

PMJI, but just so I am clear, those who answered, if you don't anticipate removing the camper, you take off the jacks, then put em back on only when you anticipate taking the camper off? I just figured I'd leave them on. BTW, be sure to disconnect the electrical connection between truck and...

This is what it looks like on my 2015 Raven. It is a bit flared open on the end, in the photo, I suppose so its easier to thread the "keder" strip into the channel. Just my guess.

The Tembo Tusk Skottle seems to be popular at the Overland Expo recently and I wonder if anyone else is using these. I just bought a Southwest Disk 18" Madrid Discada, in preparation for a two week trip around Wyoming in about 2 weeks. I'm using a JetBoil Half Genesis single burner as my heat...

PM sent with some pics.
