SOLD! congrats @freerangetortoise on your new camper. Enjoy!

Hi, the weight badge is illegible, but dry weight of most FWC is under 1000 lbs. This one is probably around 850-900. I brought it home with BIG ratchet straps, but was planning on bolting it to the bed, like my grandby. It has eyebolts installed in the side rails for turnbuckle other...

To those interested in part numbers and installation details, you will find this post useful (click) I used 60 lb springs all around, good for the front where my solar panel is, but in the back where the roof is empty, I have to physically pull it down.

Motivated seller, talk to me.

The OG Turtle III ! Cool find. details here: http://turtleexpedition.com/vehicles/turtle-iii/ To the previous poster, if you follow the ebay link in the post above, that's a Keystone on a full size ford. It will not fit a Tacoma I wonder if mount my Keystone onto a truck and sell as a package?

Price drop from $2800! Only $1,400, 85 Keystone in good shape. Located in Santa Monica, Ca (Los Angeles) http://losangeles.craigslist.org/wst/rvs/5686276880.html

Time to move! cut the price in 1/2!! $1,400

I also have a blue-sea ACR, but its connected to the truck with 2/0 cable. Modern Alternators are capable of 150 A and so is the ACR. With the distance of cable, I calculated 4 gauge minimum, then I gave myself a fat buffer. If I need to start the truck off the house batteries by jumping across...

Comment about roof wiring and replacement. I have a 36V 320W 8.9A rated panel wired to the controller with 30 ft total of 12 ga wire, and its sufficient because of the higher voltage. I have measured close to 60 Voc out of this panel. If your controller can take the higher voltage, which most...

For sure! I was a little hesitant to get started, but it took me longer to write the post than the actual install. Spent about an hour start to finish. Go for it

Yes, you do. I did mention it, but not in detail The spring measurements are as follows: Center-to-Center Length * Extended 35.43" (900mm) * Compressed 19.29" (490mm) https://shop.suspa.com/c16-10198-gas-spring-p82.aspx Here's how I did it: *Once you eyeball an approximate location of the...

What are those locking swivel thingies called?

Good point, on the front lower you may be able to get away with 1/2" screws. I had the 3/4 ones and are the same length as the factory used for the center seam plate Also note that everything was installed snug but not tight, basically a mock up. Once everything is installed and functioning to...

For the rear, start by removing the rain drip rail. I modified it to fit after installing brackets. On the rear I also had to grind the lower lip of the trim piece, so the bracket would sit flush. Make sure the door closes rear top up and down After test fitting everything I marked the...

Start by installing top bracket after eyeballing approximate location Install spring onto top bracket and locate bottom bracket. Like i mentioned earlier, I want the spring to not be fully extended, but still have a bit of pre-load when top is fully up. This is where it ended up for me...

Finally sprung some cash for lift struts and brackets. The main reason for doing so was the addition of a 320W solar panel and Maxx Air fan. The panel weighs about 80lbs and the fan adds another 10 or so. Needless to say the top was a bit tough to lift. Parts list: 4x JR Products BR10336...

I was going to rebuild this, but ended up doing too much work to my Grandby to ever recuperate cost, so I'll be keeping that. More pictures in CL ad $2800 OBO $ 1,400, price cut in 1/2! http://losangeles.craigslist.org/wst/rvs/5708139166.html Text from ad: 1985 Keystone pop up camper, made...

For the batteries to charge off the alternator they must also have a good chassis ground. Grounds are often overlooked. clean, tight, corrosion free. You can also measure volts on the ground side, should be close to 0v, if it reads over 0.5v theres a poor connection somewhere. As far as...

Deflate with schraeder valve tool. 45 to 15 psi in 30 seconds, cheap. hold on to that valve though, you loose it you're screwed, or carry spares which I do. when at a tire shop ask them for a handful of old valves, they're usually laying on top of the tire machine waiting to get thrown out. I...

Santa Rosalililita? I always get them mixed up, but that quote is golden! It's under the couch in the far back right corner. Not sure if it was factory installed there, not sure if it even came with one. The camper has a water filler in the back next to the door, but it's not connected to the...
