    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West FWC mattress update

    I'm reviving an old one here but do you remember how much you paid for your foam from New England Foam? I'll try giving them a call tomorrow but thought I'd reach out to you first.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Fleet 180 Watt Solar Panel Install

    Last year we used a flexible 100W panel as a portable panel but it was kind of a pain to get out and setup everytime I wanted to use it so I decided to put a panel on the roof. I knew I wanted a 180W panel because it wanted as much as I could get but still install between the 2 roof fans. I went...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Fleet storage platform build

    When I brought my Fleet home from my Dad's garage to do some maintenance this spring I knew I was going to need to build a platform to roll it in and out of my garage because it was too high to back it in. I searched and search and could not find any measurements so I used the FWC length...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Maxx Fans Installed

    Thanks for the useful info. After installing them there is a few things that appear to be better than the FF. 1: You can leave them open in the rain (usually when you need extra ventilation anyway). 2: If the fan fails you can remove the fan without removing sealant. 3: Lower power draw.(high is...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Maxx Fans Installed

    I did seal around the edges and even over the screw heads. I used Dicor self-leveling lap sealant. I also used butyl tape as recommended by the manufacturer.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West footprint measurements of Swift please, trying to build a dolly

    It looks like according to FWC the Swift is 10" shorter than a Fleet but the floor pack should be the same width. The dimensions of my Fleet platform are: 39"W x 80"L. I almost wish I would have gone with a 39" x 78" because it would have allowed me to remove or install the trim without putting...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Surfboard Jack Bracket Mount - Help in PA for Build?

    Maybe give the guys at Main Line Overland a call. They may be able to help you out as they are in West Chester. I may pass through that area this summer as there is an awesome Donut Shop in Allentown but I can't tell you when that would happen.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West FWC Solar Connector

    You are correct. That is an MC4. If your roof connector was installed by FWC you should have an SAE. You have 2 choices. One being buy an SAE to MC4 adapter or the other being cut the MC4 off and install an SAE connector which may void your warranty. I have heard that FWC has some 90 degree SAE...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Rust? Screws? FWC Hawks?

    From what I understand there needs to be an electrolyte introduced to have corrosion. If the area is sealed with butyl tape and 4000 the electrolyte should be sealed out. Is that correct Rando?

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West 2011 Fleet LED Conversion

    I know this has been discussed but I am not sure if there has ever been a down and dirty of what is needed to convert an older FWC to LED. I am a power miser so anything to save a bit of power is a must. I have converted my overhead lights, porch light and rear flood lights to LED. Below is a...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Rust? Screws? FWC Hawks?

    Hahaha, wait until you see mine. I will make a post once it is back together. It was mainly the previous owner's fault for running the camper on the truck through the winter on the east coast and not washing it off but the foam tape that FWC used didn't help the situation. I wish they would have...

    Awesome/Genius idea. May I recommend a push button quick release pin (McMaster-Carr) to aid in faster deployment and stowing?

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Rust? Screws? FWC Hawks?

    I pulled the trim off my Fleet this spring because it looked like the aluminum siding was corroding and everywhere there was a staple I had a hole in the siding. I pulled all of the siding and the steel staples, ordered new trim from FWC and am reinstalling with butyl tape under the trim to seal...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Turnbuckle door screens

    I will try to do a video this week and post a link. Ideally you would initially install while camper is off of the truck but they could be installed while the camper is installed.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Turnbuckle door screens

    I broke out the sewing machine this weekend and made up 2 sets (4 screens). The ones I made are 8" x 13" because I was going off of my Fleet's turnbuckle opening size which is roughly 7" x 12". I am going to offer these up priced at $40 (set of 2 screens...free shipping) as a test sale. If you...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West *SOLD* Alu Cab Shadow Awning - $1200

    It does go over the door but not completely across the back like I want. I am weirdly particular and I am just not happy with the way it looks. I think these are superior than the EeziAwn but my quirks are winning. I see you are in central PA. Any interest in mine? I would be willing to knock a...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West *SOLD* Alu Cab Shadow Awning - $1200

    Brand New Alu Cab Shadow Awn Purchased from OK4WD and received this past week. I was going to mount this on my Four Wheel Camper and realized that it is not going to suit my needs, due to it not covering the rear door. There are 6 additional holes in the mounting plate but they are in line with...
