I’m thinking of converting to a 12v as well. Is there any advantage to getting a model that can also be powered by 110v? When hooked to shore power I believe my IOTA converter would still supply power, either 12v directly to the fridge or by trickle charging the battery that then feeds the...

What are "the screws that FWC uses"? My roof feels thin enough to find the structure as well. I found a junction box with the solar prewire behind a piece of wood on the ceiling that my interior struts are attached to, so it should be straightforward to drill the hole for the wires.

I am considering adding Yakima tracks to my 2010 Fleet in order to potentially attach a solar panel. Poking holes in the roof gives me heart palpitations so I wanted to see if anyone had any insights or recommendations. From what I've pieced together in other threads (correct me if I'm wrong)...

I am always looking for a more solid valve and I am considering this "RV Fresh Water Drain Valve Flange" on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/RV-FRESH-WATER-DRAIN-VALVE-FLANGE-3-8-or-1-2-WONT-FAIL-EVER-AGAIN-/181845510888?hash=item2a56d64ae8:m:mrpTvyi5F0dofNjWCDNPYHw&vxp=mtr I have already replaced...

You linked to a thread I started a few years ago. I installed the propane box drain and recaulked the siding. My bottom board was delaminated too much to just screw back together. I was never exactly sure whether the water came from somewhere in the siding in that corner or the propane box...

Thanks for the info. It is helpful to know that the small quiet flame is normal.

I have a 2010 Fleet with a Dometic 3-way fridge. This is my first camper so this might be a dumb question, but when the fridge is running, how loud/strong should the flame be? I sometimes have a hard time telling if it is lit since I can usually just barely hear it and if it is daytime I can...

I'm Chad from western Maryland. I have a 2010 Fleet originally on a 2012 Nissan Frontier. My wife and I try to take a two week vacation to wander the west every year and try to get in a few shorter trips closer to home.

Mine came this week after initially contacting the company online back in April. Removal and installation was rather easy but I think they have the upper and lower locks mixed up in the directions. Lock operation is not as smooth as before and it takes some maneuvering to get the key to enter...

I try to run my fridge while moving but it blows out consistently at highway speeds. If I am on side roads it sometimes stays lit but it is frustrating.

I cut pieces of carboard from a TV box to use as a guide. I glued some foam underneath so they will stay put on the bed rails. I only used them once but they really seemed to help me back up straight and get the camper centered in the bed.

Is this the plastic compartment that's sealed to prevent propane getting from it into the camper? Question is if FWC is making the mentioned drain a standard part of their build and exactly where do they put it? There are 4 layers of plywood below that compartment and a drain installed...

Hello cfike Thanks for posting pictures. Can you call Terry in our service department when you have time? (no hurry) FWC SERVICE ASK FOR TERRY 1-800-242-1442 He might be able to better guide you through the process and what to look for. If you have more pictures you want to send us, that...

Since your fresh water drain is right there, you should check to see if you have a hole in the line or crack in the fixture. I thought about that, but I have had the water tank drained for a few months

I noticed that the roughly 1"x4" piece of plywood that runs along the bottom under the rear door of my 2010 Fleet was starting to delaminate. I decided to replace the board and when I tore it off I found that it was water damaged. Water seemed to be coming from the driver’s side rear corner...

Took a trip from MD to the Pacific Coast this August.

I live in western MD, maybe 3or 3.5 hours from Reston

Could the Fleet fit (or be made to fit- perhaps with bracket extensions?)on a full size truck like a Tundra or Titan? I know my Fleet is several inches wider than my 2001 Nissan Frontier but I don't know if the jacks are wide enough for the larger truck bed. If the Fleet does fit it may give...

I've been to Yosemite several time and each time I've asked several ranger's opinion and the generally accepted answer is as follow. 1. If it is in the fridge it is OK. 2. If it outside of the fridge and it has any odor to it (scented tp too) put it in the bear box. I usually have lots of...

2) What we live without- We eat really easy simple things like soup, noodles, etc that store easily and are quick and easy to fix and don't require lots of cookware & utensils. We just try to keep everything small and simple. 4)Organization- One modification I made was to put four small eyebolts...

I sure hope you guys don't gas up with that little pilot light burning . . . That's how I discovered my propane was out- a momentary panic as I was pumping gas only to find it had already blown out.

I just got back from a 2 week road trip with my 2010 Fleet. Overall everything went well except I was disappointed with the refrigerator. I ran it overnight on 110V before we left (did not check temp but my wife said it felt cold when she loaded it). We put in some long days on the interstate...

I have a slightly used 2010 Fleet I purchased in April 2011. I just got back from a 2 week cross-country road trip so here are my initial impressions after my first real use. Since my wife and I had traveled several times with just a bed on a platform beneath a regular camper top we really...

I wanted a grey water holder so I could use the sink quickly without having to hook up a hose and tank so I made a holding tank out of a 4' section of 3" PVC pipe that will lay flat across the top of my bumper. A washing machine supply hose is just the right length to attach it to the camper...

You can use Tork Lift tie downs on the front. They mount outside on the frame of the truck. Put an eye bolt in the front plate for the jacks and use quick links and fast gun cam locks for a quick and easy mount that stays secure. Thanks for the advice, I am going to try external tie downs for...
