Any chance of a pic or part number? That seems to be a current model fridge so I don't understand Dometic's response.

DO IT! Perfect place to hang a vintage Coleman lantern when parked.

From a structural standpoint a camper bolted in place will allow both the camper and the truck's bed to be much more flexible. Doing so loads the tub in a completely different manner changing a lot of the compression loads to tension. There is not a lot of mass above the tub on a FWC so I...

Not mine: $500.00 Keystone near Denver For some reason my cut and paste isn't working but search 1976 Keystone on Denver's CL and you'll find it. Only been there for 3 hours and likely won't last I wouldn't think. I know someone around here was looking for a Keystone project.

Just to chime in on #2 Most wood bottoms/tubs are not fiberglassed because the builders assume some water WILL be getting in there and if it's glassed it can't get out. It's probably a good idea not to glass it. Water destroys particle board very quickly but good plywood can withstand quite a...

Is there any way to stash a 2nd tank somewhere under a Tundra?

I doubt straps would work as well for someone with tie down points on the outer edges of the camper if only because they would flap in the breeze at hiway speeds and that might strain the tie down point eventually. You can see how on the Kimbo the designer put the tie down points pretty far...

I use more than four straps to 'spread the load around'. On my last camper which was a fairly heavy StarCraft I used four to keep the camper down and the two more to keep it forward in the truck. May not have been necessary but I never had a problem and didn't have them banjo string tight. My...

I just read this and I'm a little confused. It sounds like Burr trail/rd was all paved/sealed except for a 7 mile stretch. Was that stretch truly wild or was it just not paved. By the looks of that picture it's 30' wide but maybe they did grade work too. My property here is off a dirt road that...

I've used ratchet straps for years and been happy with them. You can spread the load around and they can give a little and then snap back in rougher terrain. Also it's pretty easy to see when they start to wear and they stay pretty strong until quite worn so less suprises .

Just about any polarized plug will work as long as you remember to tell people not to plug it into a socket just because it 'fits'. An Anderson connector would probably make the most sense as it's used for DC.

Is this considered an acceptable way to tie down a FWC? Next question, I guess, is what do those brackets attach to? Is it the outer edges of the tub or the aluminum upper structure?

I sell a lot of stuff on ebay so I could regale you endlessly about bad customers that I now view as a cost of business. I'm definitely not saying you are one so please don't view this post that way. Freight is never free even if it's listed that way or if Amazon tells you it is. Someone is...

wpage66, When you take the frame out please let us know what the door is made of. Thanks, John

Just thinking out loud but if the tabs aren't strong enough to support the weight of the window I would find something else that is. There might be room between the 'tabs' and the bottom of the cutout in the door.. Silicone sealant does not bond well to glass or aluminum and it's elastic enough...

How do you adjust the temp difference between the two boxes? I would use two separate units but I like the redundancy..

I've frozen cooked ribs and seemed to have lived through the experience. I suppose that freshly prepared ribs would win out but hauling a 6' offset smoker to camp probably wouldn't be worth the hassle. I think the folks who like their ribs saucy would notice less of a difference. I've accidently...

It goes down a little smoother than drinking the vinegar straight out of the bottle. I really thought I would dislike it but had to try. Something about mixing your finely chopped pork with finely chopped cabbage and then pouring more vinegar on it ...... OK, actually writing it down makes it...

Actually you do not need fill ports, right now, to fill them back up. You just cut off the clamped 'fill port' and replace it with either a little more tubing to be clamped later if you need it or just sweat on a normal fill port which then allows filling. Larger concern is where the coolant is...

If your compressor is running (making noise) and your evaporator is not getting cold the list of realistic potential problems is pretty short. In no particular order: 1. Your condenser fan has died. 2. Your coolant has leaked out. I'm pretty sure that your unit does not have a low pressure shut...

Might be a good time to try a few Walmart parking lots. They generally frown on popups but I think they really mean tent trailers. I've never had a problem when I had mine. Stay away from truck stops and rest areas. You'll never get a moments sleep. Way too big of a party.

Your pics are not coming up for me. Anyone else?

If I see one I'll post here but if you're doing the nationwide search thing you'll probably see it first. Those things are pretty intriguing. Just don't pay too much for the rare 16x10 wheels.

Since I posted that thing here he's changed the ad quite a bit. I love the way he breaks the pricing down based on the value of some of the individual parts. Not saying that $7500 isn't a screaming deal or anything but if I were him I'd be advertising in every town where the college mascot is a...
