One more question. Anyone know what the semi-clear sealant that is used on the outside rivets/grommets in the vinyl? Is this something that periodically needs to be touched up or wear off? It looks like some of them still have some kind of sealant and some not.

Thanks for the suggestions. I think I will try some Dicor and tape it off to just put a small line into the groove where the vinyl meets the trim. I'm sure it's coming from the outside in this area as I've had the top up for three days and it's been raining. The inside ceiling is dry, the inside...

UPDATE: This is a 2013 All Terrain Camper Bobcat and should be moved to that forum. Accidently posted here. Area in question is the connection between vinyl and frame again no tears in the vinyl: Thinking of using this. I need a product that will stick to both the vinyl and the metal...

When getting new tires or having them rotated at a tire garage, do you leave the camper on? I don't see why not if their garage has a high roof. But, what about using their car lift and airbags? Do you air down the airbags so they won't be extended when lifted? Do you have them use a floor jack...

How many bother with a cover for their camper? I will be parking my camper on my truck outside full time in my driveway and wanted to cover it. It will only be used for camping as I have a commuter car. I am trying to keep tree sap, etc. off the exterior. I found an extra large SUV auto cover...

I bought my first Bobcat from ATC in 2007. Sold it in 2012. Missed it. Then bought another Bobcat for a new Tacoma in 2013. I opted this time for a side dinette, heater/stove buildtop, aux battery system and then built out the rest. I now envy little as far as a go anywhere rig is involved...

Called em and they said no problem since the battery is an AGM.

I have a the Batteryminder 12248 and am using it to keep an Optima Blue Top AGM battery charged in my ATC Bobcat. I would like to keep the Batteryminder in under the dinette seat next to the Optima an run the 120v plug out of the turnbuckle door in when the camper is off the truck and parked in...

On the subject of tires. I just bought a set of Cooper Discoverer ATP 116T 265/75/16 tires. These are the largest tires that fit in on a stock 2011 Tacoma Prerunner. The load rating is 2756 per tire and are 7 ply tires. They lift the truck by 1.5" and have an aggressive A/T tread but are still...

I'm going to be putting a shell FWC or ATC on a 2011 Tacoma PreRunner access cab 6 foot bed truck. The payload is 1300 pounds. Most tires including the highest rated passenger tires for my truck exceed my payload capacity. If I keep it at or under payload why do I need E rated tires? I am going...

Sold.

For those of us that store the camper in the garage, what is your thought on keeping the propane tank in the garage installed in the camper. My All Terrain Bobcat camper uses the Manchester horizontal tank and I'm concerned as while my camper will fit in the garage, I've read that propane should...

Well, I got the 12v fridge wired to my house battery directly with an inline fuse. Thanks for the advice. My next question is this. I live in a condo where I keep my camper on the truck full time. Unfortunately, I cannot hook up a smart charger to keep the battery topped off. Also, I can't...

The 12v plug on the WAECO has a built in fuse is this enough?

I have a WAECO CF-25 12v fridge with a 12v plug in my camper. It sits on the floor about a foot away from the house battery under the couch. The house battery runs back to the fuse box near the heater by the door. If I install a 12v receptacle right next to the fridge near the house battery can...

I have an regular lead acid truck starter battery and I want to use a Sure Power solenoid wired to the camper AGM battery for charging. Is there any problem with the alternator charging these two different kinds of batteries at the same time while driving? Thanks all.

I going to finally install a camper battery. I've read a lot of recommendations for a good deep cycle AGM here and the Cabela's looks good. But I do have a couple of questions. First, this is the Cabela's Advanced Angler AGM battery right? It's ok to use this marine battery in the camper because...

Rich, Where did you get the solenoid? Do you recommend any particular model or maker?

Thanks Rich. I think I'll try your way unless someone can give me a good reason not to. It sounds quite reasonable and straightforward. Anyone?

Ok, I've searched the previous messages but I'd like some more opinions. I want to add a second battery to my camper. I'm currently run off the truck starter battery an Optima Yellow Top deep cycle. This works ok as I don't have that many power needs until now. I just bought a Waeco (Dometic)...

I've owned my camper for a little over a year now and have been battling "rain streaks". Just under the rear door window is the worst. I've tried scrubbing with brushes with little improvement. Does anyone have a method to combat the streaks? Maybe a little bleach? Thanks.

I just returned from driving from New York state on a 800 mile trip. On the highway I got an average of 22mpg best tank was 24 mpg. This is with a 2004 Nissan Frontier 2.4L 4cyl manual truck and a '07 ATC Bobcat shell kept light. The truck gets 27mpg unloaded. I haven't calculated city mileage...

I know that I could take it to an RV shop but I'd like to know how you test the connections to see if you're propane system is fully sealed and safe. I had to disconnect my cooktop stove and remove it momentarily today and now after I re-installed it I want to check for leaks. I have a propane...

I own a new ATC Bobcat shell model. The propane tank is used only for my furnace as it's the only propane device in the camper. My question is since I sometimes use the furnace on a daily basis, and sometimes don't, should I disconnect the propane line to the tank every time I park the truck and...
