Hmm, I'm not immediately finding that video. Link? I'll be installing the eye bolts in the next few days...

Anyone interested in this Ctek charger? Currently a real good price... $140 at all the retailers. Some reviews say Amazon isn't an authorized dealer, and 5-year warranty not honored. Orchard Supply Hardware, osh.com, currently offering at $84 online or in store. But, when I walked in to a...

I've found the Ctek Multi US 7002 charger, at 7 amps, including desulphating, all the other cool charging phases, PLUS it is rated to run as a converter with the battery in or out of circuit. Since I'm not using a compressor fridge, this would seem to be more than adequate as a converter, will...

I think my next step is to investigate the wire gauge supplying charging to the OEM 7-pin on the truck. Since I do need to connect the turn/brake/reverse lights, this might be a great start if the charging current is sufficient. Thanks for the recc on power connectors. I'll need to go that way...

Thanks K7! That makes more sense than what I'd had in mind. As it turns out, the oddly placed terminal wouldn't contact the bed; this is an older camper with tail lights, and the terminal would be *behind* the bed. This charging circuit was originally to be hard wired to an under-hood isolator...

Fourth question. Is there an auto cutoff switch on the 12v side that operates when the roof is up/down?

I've answered my own question on the rocker switch, it's for the water pump. Thanks for your experience of no converter. But , I'm sitting here in the garage wishing for the fan and lights ;-) Does anyone out there think a converter is essential? THIRD question. Does your camper make ground...

First question - What is the function of the 3-way rocker switch on the front panel next to the thermostat? I'd assumed it was on the 12v circuit to source select battery-off-shore power. But that can't be it - today I took off the front panel because I was confused... now I'm not - there is...

BillM, thanks for that report. Glad to find someone else with an Eagle on a later Frontier! The truth is I only got the plastic bedliner out yesterday, the rubber mat arrives Friday, and I've not taken the time to remeasure with the liner out. Possibly mine will fit just as yours does; the...

Thanks for that! I'd really only been thinking about flushing & conditioning the water system; figured I could do that with a plug. Having an external water spigot could indeed be useful! Back to my local Ace hardware for more bits & pieces... Sent from my iPad using Wander The West

Ok, this phase is done! Thanks for the insights & experience! The protruding bolts, which turned out to hold *nothing* together, would have served as anchors for a flatbed, or, like K7 suggested, might have hung something. It's an older camper, I'm the third owner that I know of... PO had it on...

So, there are some answers. Singlefin, thanks for sharing your experience. What I got from the authorities only addressed slipperiness, not compression. I think what you wrote is pretty definitive, as much as I'd like to keep the liner it's got to go! The mystery of the protruding bolts was...

Any opinions on bedliners? A partial answer to the clearance question is that when I got around to shoot a photo of the passenger side, I want clearance enough to provide space around the water storage drain in the photo above. Sent from my iPad using Wander The West

Here's a photo that shows the driver's side of the camper, looking front to rear, the structure for the tail lights is at the far end. Fore to aft: A protruding bolt (maybe I need to go into the camper to see if it's even doing anything!) Left, an extra outlet for sink drain from first owner -...

PS. How much clearance between top of pickup rails and bottom of camper rails will I want? Enough to get one's hand between, or closer to no clearance?

Finally I'm on to installing an older eagle (with tail lights) onto a 2013 Nissan Frontier... It's been a bit of work on camper and truck to get it to this point. The dealer says no plastic bedliners. The factory says not advised, but they sometimes have done installs on top of bedliners...

I have an old FWC Eagle on such a trailer right now. It was a temporary measure, as the trailer is usually used for yard debris (lots!). It's as easy to maneuver as any other small trailer. I did put a $20 HF wheeled jack on the tongue (my trailer is an older model, don't know if new comes with...

Not a truck camper, but I think this Bushranger utility trailer tent camper in Corvallis Oregon looks pretty good! http://corvallis.craigslist.org/rvs/5405033215.html

I'm in Portland and interested. However, the craigslist post isn't working - the reply button is broken, and I can't contact you on CL. Hmm... a new member around here, will try to PM you, if that works. Or, please post back if your CL ad is revised or updated.
