I noticed that 3 of my bracket screws (all from different brackets) were loose when I put the camper on this spring. Called FWC and they said to just go up one size on the screws. As mentioned, could not find locally. I did find 5/16"x2" long self tapping screws on Amazon...

Thanks everyone - you guys are awesome!!! -Rick

I have been upgrading the battery system in my Eagle. I got a Renogy smart 100ah Lithium battery and a Vitron MPPT 100/20 charge controller. The other evening I was checking things out and noticed a 2 amp draw on the system when I had nothing running. Didn't have time to trouble shoot then...

What about spray painting the plastic ones on the inside with a heavy black paint to block out all light? The black ones already block out a lot of light.

I had a heck of a time finding one several years ago. Finally found one here...

Bummer BND..... They did resolve mine quickly - I got my Renogy today, so hopefully you will get your replacements in a week or so. Mine came a week after I contacted them. They sent me a FedEx label to send the HQST battery back. I dropped it off at FedEx last Friday and it came back to me on...

Situation resolved :) I sent them an email Sunday after I got the HQST battery. No response yesterday (Monday). Called numerous times and the phone went straight to a recording with no option to leave a voice mail. I was starting to worry...... Sent them another email this am "Urgent...

Just called them - went straight to a recording "we are assisting other customers, please email us or call later". We'll see if they answer their email..........

Got my battery today. It was NOT the Renogy I ordered, but a HQST lithium battery that sells for $500 on Amazon. Very disappointed. Have sent them an email.........

Thanks Richard - I got an email from them a week ago saying the order was on the way, but same as you a link to a FedEx # with no record of in transit. I was wondering if I needed to follow up and hoped nothing was wrong. Nice to get an update so I don't have to worry. I too will wait...

Awesome. Thanks Rando!!

Rando, I see you are from Colorado also and use a Lithium battery. What do I need to do or be aware of in using the Lithium battery in the cold. That was one of the things slowing me down from Lithium, but from what I can figure out, it seems not to be that big of an issue. As I understand...

Thanks Rando! I've been following the Lithium battery threads for a while, but couldn't justify the price jump. Ordered one of these this am and looking forward to much better battery capacity and less weight! Also ordered the Victron solar charge controller you linked to in another thread...

How does the Battle Born lithium battery work in Colorado? I've heard the lithium batteries don't work in freezing temps, but maybe I don't have the whole story. Did you have to do anything special? Thanks! -Rick

I have a Frontier King Cab with an Eagle. BFG KO2 tires at 42 front 50 rear. Air down when on rough 4x4 roads. The E rated tires make a huge difference. Air bags set at 60 left, 45 right. This was what it took to bring the height up to what it was without the camper - although this was with...

You can forget about Animas Forks in early June this year. This was in the Durango Hereald this am: Tookey said that last year, when the region was in a critical drought, Cinnamon Pass, a high-mountain four-wheel-drive road that connects Silverton to Lake City, was open. This year, however...

I replaced the original valve with a red handled twist valve (like for your garden hose). The 2 screws that would hold it on our house fit the attachment bracket that were on the stock one perfectly. Took the top screw off the handle and left it off. Take the handle off when I leave and store...

If its like the inReach plans, it means you can send unlimited messages that you pre write - inReach allows 3 of them. They are messages like "'I'm ok", "Camping here for the night", "I will be late", etc. You can't just write and send whatever you want.

How did you make your "Wooden Bumper" and did you do that just to prevent the wheel from rubbing on the camper? Love your setup - I've got a Frontier Nismo and Eagle as well, and this looks like a much nicer way to go. I have been using the 1up rack with an extender, but that sure puts a lot...

From another post on this topic - here is a locking fork for 15mm axle: https://www.rei.com/product/116602/rocky-mounts-drive-shaft-hm-truck-bed-bike-mount

So can I just run another set of wires from the portable panel to the charge controller where the roof panel wires come to? Both sets of wires coming in to the solar input on the charge controller should work fine and not cause any problems? They can both be sending charge to the controller...

Rollin, How are you plugging the portable into your system? Can you use a splitter on the roof plug and plug both the roof mount and the portable into the roof wires, or do you need to do something different? I would be interested in supplementing my 100W roof solar but only have the one plug...

Believe it or not, that is available! I ordered some once and sprayed it around the vehicle at high country trailheads - not sure if it helped or not, but it sure stank! What I use not after hearing it be successful from some old timers - is to put moth balls in cotton socks - fill the sock...

Mark - what kind does your buddy have and does he like it? I was using one that went through my phone but it didn't work very well and then stopped working. I would like to get some kind of backup camera going, as I hate backing up the trunk with the camper on it it when I can't see what's...

I've got a 2007 King Cab Frontier - Nismo (what they call Pro-4X now) package and a 2008 Eagle - both bought new. With BFG KO2 tires and air bags this set up works great for me. Stable, nimble, and not too big a package to use as a daily driver. I take the camper off in the winter, but it is...
