If you have a slide in, the turnbuckle area would work well.

The air intake for the combustion for the heater is routed through the side panel, and into the area behind the fridge. This is protected by the louvered panel from debris, and allows more than enough air flow. It is also where I pull the air to be heated over the heat exchanger as well. I was...

It’s sold by Planar on their website. They offer two sizes for the two different exhaust pipes, I believe all their air heaters use the smaller pipe. It’s a bit pricey at $125 bucks or so, but makes for a super clean side exit

I had issues with the furnace as well. I just completed a Planar diesel heater swap on my flatbed recently since I got tired of the issues with the propane furnace. Both heaters pull combustion air and exhaust the products of combustion outside, so the difference in condensation would be...

Just a heads up on the Carli leaves, they have an XHD pack that they do not list on their site. The regular HD pack will be too light more than likely, and you will experience some sag in the rear. For the fuel tank, I have seen the Titan 30 gallon tank that takes the spot of the spare tier...

My truck was equipped with the 34 gallon fuel tank. I wanted the largest one Ford offered, but the next size up tank was only available on the long bed model. I have trying to find a solid solution for more fuel, and my plan is to retrofit one of those aftermarket large capacity diesel tanks to...

Thank you! Got the fuel tank installed today, and the heater up and running. So far everything is working well, going to run it 2 hours on max output to get everything nice and hot and inspect the install. The fuel pump is extremely quiet, can barley hear it with the front cover off. Should...

Alright, so made some additions in the last few weeks. First up was making a bracket for the maxtrax to be moved down lower on the rear rack, to free up space for the shower cube to be mounted higher to function better. The maxtrax mount is made from aluminum, and mounts to the bottom of the...

Agree on white being the best choice if concerned about heat transfer. The top of all the FWC roofs are white, regardless of exterior color as well. I have silver smooth siding, and it does alright in the heat. But on the side that faces the sun it definitely gets warmer inside, but not as bad...

No, not really. I shouldn't be able to compress a large shock with no effort, and have it take minutes to extend back with no weight on it. The driver side would not even come back all the way on its own. The OEM shocks aren't the best, and I was not disappointed with their service life since...

Thanks, and yea I was not a fan of the older smaller ones. I use an ARB Twin Portable compressor, which i keep in the cab. So the boxes are freed up for extra storage. I like the idea of using one for the trash, as that is something I have struggled to deal with on longer trips. I bought a tire...

Been a little slow with updates due to being busy in the shop with customer builds, and waiting on parts. But we have gotten some parts in, and had time to make some minor improvements. I ordered a set of Fox shocks form Accutune Off-Road with the axle weights and had the shocks custom valved...

That's similar to what I was thinking. I travel with the bed slid out anyway, wasn't sure if I could just have one large piece and roll it over when accessing the storage, or if it would be better to have 2 individual sections.

So I am looking into purchasing the Froli system for my 2021 FWC Hawk Flatbed. But I have some questions for those that have it, particularly flatbed owners. We sleep with the bed pulled out to the first stop (has the king mattress) and I leave the additional cushions at home. But with the...

Alright so I got the third Battleborn lithium battery installed, so now we are up to 300 a/H of capacity. Install was pretty straight forward, just had to rearrange the stops in the battery compartment to get them to fit, and make up some additional jumper wires to tie the batteries together. I...

yea, they do share the same blower motor assembly to handle intake and exhaust. its a crappy furnace, no doubt about it. You can tweak the sail switch slightly, but its only a little but before you run into issues with it contacting. Crappy furnace, and poor installation considerations just...

Sort of. It pulls air from essentially a concentric vent around the exhaust vent. But I have found that having ventilation inside the furnace cabinet can help as well. On some of the later FWC's they added a small louvered vent on the side of the furnace cabinet to help, but it depends on the...

I am willing to bet it is the foil ducting on the front of the furnace causing your issue. I will assume the issue you were experiencing is the furnace would turn on, but would fail to ignite? And after you started your truck, it was able to perform and ignition cycle? The furnace blower motor...

AT Overland makes a bracket for either 5lb or 10lb propane tanks. I have used them in the past mounted to the jack brackets of a FWC. Fuel, Propane and Water – AT Overland Equipment

Here's a link to amazon with a similar product, just unsure of the size you need. T-Slot Mount Window Weatherstrip Seal 5/16" Bulb Bubble for 3/16" Slot Receptacle 3 Colors & 5 Length Options (10', White) - - Amazon.com

I ordered another Battle Born 100 aH battery, since they were still on sale on their site. Price was $859 shipped, which is a good savings from their $1049 regular price. I will need to shift the current batteries over a tad, and probably re-do the mounting to accommodate a third battery...

The vent openings should be the same for the compressor fridge and the 3 way from FWC. Should have two louvered vents on the side of your camper. The lower louver vent is hinged, so you can open it to access the controls for the 3 way fridge. On the compressor fridges, the space can be used for...

Yea, not exactly thrilled with drilling more holes than needed. Unfortunately some places do require a gray water tank, that is mounted. I may just mount a tank underneath, and have it still drain via the exterior hose and just connect the hose to the tank each time. I've found sometimes I just...

Thanks for the pics, that looks like a good solution for the steps! I like the idea of the hooks as well, would be especially handy for hanging items to dry. The next item I want to tackle, is a gray water storage solution. Currently I just use a small Aquatainer, that I installed a hose...

I would be interested in seeing the frame you built. I have the Brophy steps, so I have the track for them mounted to the side of the flatbed already. I love having the stairs, but they are beyond awkward to store. I keep moving them trying to find a better spot to store them.
