Thanks Stokeme, I hadn't thought about the height of the seat being a problem. Yah, I noticed they significantly raised the price. If the couch had fit, I was seriously debating whether it was worth $2K. Dam it, the 75" length won't work, but I think the offset of 6" will still work with the...

Just looked at your link and answered my 2nd question. Looks like it will completely rotate without breaking the plain of the benches.

Thanks for the link and for taking the time to help solve my problem - I really appreciate it. You bring up a great point, and I'm wondering how much off set from the front wall would be required? Also wondering if it is a zero clearance hinge, or will I need to build up the top of the benches...

I'm on the road with limited tools and was hopeful that I wouldn't have to modify the standard couch that FWC sells. Is the storage base necessary? If the couch fits E/W, I was hoping I could mount the hardware to the benches on either side near the windows. I know this means I will have to...

Inside dimension is 72 1/2". Thanks David.

I have 2018 Fleet shell and would like to add the roll over couch, but don't want to install it north/south. Does anyone know if a unmodify off the shelf couch from FWC will fit eas/west against the front wall on a 18 Fleet?

Thanks Alley-Kat. Very informative stuff. Now how do I scale up a solar still to make it practical without taking up so much space in my FWC that I need a trailer.

Thanks everyone, the links provided were exactly what I was looking for. I had no idea that ROs where that expensive and finicky - looks like I need to find another solution.

Does any one know of a salt water capable portable reverse osmosis water purifier? I sailed with a guy from Florida to the Bahamas a couple of years ago and I swear he had such a device, but can't seem to find anything when I search online. I have a trip planned to Baja this winter with an eye...

Thanks Rich. I'm going to go procure the S hooks today and play around with your system. What do you do when you can't drive stakes in the ground? Sandbags?

Camper Rich, Any chance you could post a couple pics of your tie-down system? I also have the batwing and spend an inordinate amount of time securing it so I can sleep at night. I have been looking for a better, quicker way to deploy and not spend an hour making it bomber. Thanks, Mark

Thanks for the input, tbair, I will proceed accordingly. What I don't understand is why the fuse is required when there is one built in to the IOTA unit. On another note, my solar system is setup and running smoothly thanks to all of you who contribute to this site. I truly would have been...

Quick couple of questions for someone familiar with wiring an IOTA DLS-15/IQ4 power converter/battery charger in a system with a BMV -712 battery monitor. Do I wire both the positive and negative from the IOTA straight to the batteries, or does the negative go to the shunt on the 712? Do I...

I did not realize that, thanks for pointing it out. As always Sage, I appreciate your input as I store the shell at an offsite location which is susceptible to hail just like the OP. Mark

Hey rando, the BMV-712 is a Bluetooth enable device, why cut any hole in your cabinet? Am I missing something?

Hey Rusty, I recently added my 2018 Fleet shell to my auto policy with State Farm and had no problems. I provided them the MSO, purchase agreement and serial numbers and they were good to go. The camper is worth twice as much as the truck (09 Toy Tacoma), and the additional charge was only...

Be careful with Goof Off. Goof Off is what I originally used and it appears to have not only taken off the top sealer coat, but also dulled the paint color underneath making a very obvious flat spot. I tried Machinebuilders suggestions above (thanks Machine), but the damage seems permanent and...

Follow up question: Now that the residual adhesive is removed, is there anything I can do about the flat spot were I rubbed off the finish? I'm super annoyed at myself for being such a dumbass, and don't want to put another sticker on to cover the blemish.

Thanks. The WD40 suggestion was what I was looking for.

How are you guys removing the adhesive from the ridiculous FWC sticker that they put on the door? I have tried everything and have had no luck, and am now starting to rub off the lacquer finish.

Thanks for the input guys. After using PaulT's link for wire size, I was surprised to find I could use 14 gauge wire to run from the cab to camper and back again. However since I have a bunch of 10 gauge laying around, I think I will use it just to be safe. @FoxTec - Thanks for helping me...

Hey Hoda, I'll take that batwing wing off your hands if it's still available. Give me a call to discuss logistics. Mark 97zero.39zero.7zero98

Hey everyone, looking for opinions on how to wire my ARB fridge to the battery bank in the camper. Ordinarily this is a pretty straight forward job. However I would like to put the ARB in the cab, which means I need some kind of all-weather plug (preferable next to FWC plug) so I can...

Good idea. I am interested to understand how you ran the cord through the bulkhead. Like you, the purpose of my shore power is to maintain my batteries until I figure out my solar (and can fund said project), and be able to secure the camper while charging. Don't want to create a bunch of...

I'm an idiot! Of course they're grey plastic and not aluminum. Thanks Sage.
