Here's how I did it: Put jacks on camper & lift to just off the truck bed Use rubber mallet to nudge jacks over until camper is aligned Through turnbuckle access doors, installed wooden spacers between camper & sides of truck bed Put jam nuts on turnbuckles to keep them from loosening again...

Did you open the drain valve in the cabinet?

It was a constant rapid clicking sound. It started when I tried to charge the truck battery. It continued even after I disconnected the charger. It did not stop when I disconnected the leads on the camper batteries. It stopped only when I disconnected the leads on the truck battery which were...

Looks like you folks were right. The truck battery was bad. I bought a new 5 year battery. Thanks for the input. I'm still curious about what was causing that clicking sound coming from the truck bed between the camper & truck cab.

Battery came with the truck. I don't know how old it is. Bought the truck in 2014. Right now I am charging up with camper batteries disconnected. If truck battery holds charge with camper batteries disconnected that will eliminate truck battery as an issue.

Stored my camper & truck under the carport last winter. Started & ran the truck a couple of times just because I thought I should. I kept the camper DC breaker knob pushed in (off) all winter. Truck has been idle the last couple of months. I tried to start the truck but this time the battery was...

I have never vented and have experienced no leaks, even leaving it full all summer. I did replace the "eco freindly" nozzle (the one that takes 3 hands and leaks all over when you try to use it) with their simpler nozzle that actually works. Pretty sure I got that from Amazon.

One of the main features of the RotoPax is that it locks in place and makes theft difficult. Make sure you create a mount that can't be easily removed by thieves.

Click on this link to see a picture of the RotoPax I mounted on my Grandby: my mods No need to mount it on the aluminum frame - I think that would be difficult to do. I did most of the work from the outside refrigerator access panel. I had to pull the refrigerator out on the inside just a bit...

I got rid of my funhouse mirror and replaced it with nothing. I don't like having to look at myself every time I stand up. Now a mirror over the bed might be a different story - hmmm...

Does anyone use 303 protectant inside? If it treats the vinyl to prevent drying & cracking then it might be prudent. Some UV gets in through the windows, too. Or would it be overkill?

If it's a ground loop problem a ground lift adapter plug would be a quick fix. I don't have this problem with my laptop in my 2014 Grandby.

My tool guy is an old friend - a highly skilled retired maintenance type guy. He has wide knowledge & experience in all things tool related - mechanical, electrical, woodworking et al. He is very meticulous about aesthetics. He even works on my guitars and I am extemely picky about that, as is...

I tasked my tool guy to make a screen for the sliding front window in my 2014 Grandby. This is what he came up with: Wood frame with flat top & bottom & channel on each side into which to fit the sliding window. What could be simpler? Just open the sliding windows, put screen in place and...

My tool guy tells me that the cabinet exterior in my 2014 Grandby is a VINYL type veneer, and he's usually right about such things.

Mine is a 200W Zamp portable panel & controller. It has the same connector for the rear solar plug on my 2014 Grandby. The controller defaults to AGM battery type. Just plug it in and it starts working. I can't imagine an easier setup. Zamp ZS-200-P Yes, rear solar plug on your FWC may not...

On my very first overnighter in my new camper I discovered that I needed a measuring cup. It's always the little things. Live & learn.

Will FWC sell & ship a side dinette assembly so you can install it yourself? If so, I'd be interested.

I noticed that my Grandby had come off center from its position on the truck bed. The front of the camper was OK, but the rear had moved to one side of the bed, so I took it to my ever lovin' tool guy. The first thing he noticed was the position of the turnbuckles. All the turnbuckles are...
