Sorry for now just responding. We were away on yet another adventure. I have posted a new report. Thank you all for the encouragement.

Frank, Thanks for the words of encouragement. She loves being wild and free like her papa. The camper allows this perfectly. Brock

Andy, Thanks for the great recommendations. We used to live in Seattle and while we lived there we hit all of the PNW stuff in our old setup. Pretty much all of the west coast parks are complete except for AK and HI. We feel the same about Yellowstone and loved Teton. We can't wait to get back...

Thanks. I'll let her know.

My wife created a blog to document our travels and hopefully help those who want to foster a wanderlust in their little ones. It is still in the early stages but please go have a look and spread the word. I recently submitted a guest post chronicling the modifications I have made to our Fleet...

I love my Snowpeak Pack and Carry Fireplace. It folds flat and fits perfectly next to my ARB fridge in the fridge area. Grill Set Up Grill Stowed

CG?

Masterlock makes one that is close but the cutout hole is a bit too small. Didn't wanna mod the door so I returned it. I have a combicam on my propane door so I just hang a key in there for when we are away from the camper for short periods.

Looks like the Fleet is 4" wider than the Eagle in that area. I just measured the length of my fridge area and from the wall to the edge of the propane compartment it measured 26".

I will check tonight and get back to you.

You could always lock it with a combi-cam. Gives you the option of locking when you want or leaving unlocked when you don't. They are nice too because you don't need keys to access.

I switched to my ARB in a Fleet and couldn't be happier. Just sips on the amps

That looks like a pretty cool product. I was looking for something like that a few months back and settled on a Truma levelcheck http://www.levelcheck.com/us/

I would like to add that the Victron monitors amps in and out just like the Trimetric. I liked the fact that Victron's solar controller was MPPT instead of PWM which from what I read was a bit more efficient. The compatablity of using all Victron products and the clean look is what appealed to...

Did a few more organization tricks in the Fleet. Hope these help someone get the most out of our small space. Drawer divider Modified shoe holder to keep stuff off the counter Soap holder Velcro on dish towels Strap with velcro as paper towel holder

What year is your Eagle? I did not really have to modify the cabinet on my 2011 Fleet but I did put the countertop above the fridge on a hinge so I could get into it easier. I also took the sides of the cabinet off that the Dometic fridge was attached to so that my ARB looked a bit more factory...

Here are a few more of my cheap organization mods. Shoe holder modified Soap holder Paper towel holder Dish towel with velcro

I kind of went a "weird" direction and installed my ARB in the Dometic's old location. It sips power and I am pleased as punch at the result. Just got back from a 5 day trip and rarely used more than 5 amps per day which my 100W solar has no trouble recouping by about 10am. Thanks to everyone...

Is there any way you could post a pic of your thermostat? I really wanna switch to a Honeywell digital but it looks like the dimensions will be tight.

I would cast another vote for the Victron. It fits perfectly in the open space right above the FWC monitor and looks factory. The price is extremely reasonable as well. I just installed the monitor and solar controller in my Fleet and I couldn't be happier. Monitor Shunt

I finally got around to installing my foot switch. I ended up installing an SAE plug so I could disconnect it if need be. We just got back from a 5 day trip and it really seems to save water as well as keeping the counter a bit drier when washing hands. Thanks to Billharr for the wiring assistance.

Great minds Ron. I did exactly the same thing.

Another somewhat simple question for those of you with a 700/702 and Victron MPPT. Do you generally wire the battery side of the MPPT directly to the battery or do you wire the negative to the shunt and the positive to the battery? Nevermind, I was able to answer my own question. I wired the...

I'm just south of DC in Woodbridge.

Got my Victron 700 BVM installed tonight and I couldn't believe how easy it was. I still need to shorten the comm cable to the display but man it was an easy install. Thanks to all of those that answered my questions. Now onto my MPPT 75/15 install this weekend.
