I agree, I found the wiring to tap into the line simple enough, but I really didn't want to fry any anything in the fridges computer board. It doesn't take much to overload something that has a tiny 20+ gauge wire on it. I wired a dedicated 8 gauge wire to the fridge and used the wire that was...

you will know right away if you have the factory vents. They will be on the outside of your camper right behind your fridge and be pretty large. Like 12x24 inch large and there would be a top vent and a lower vent.

Hi Ted, Wondering if you ever were able to get everything fixed and working correctly. I found the wiring coming out of the fridge to have the fan run only when the fridge fan was running but I was to worried about adding more load to the system then it was made to handle. So I have mine wired...

I had issues with mine until I had it vented correctly and added a computer fan to it. For a few years FWC didn't have any venting from them from the factory and become pretty clear of the issue. From what we have found from the mfg's, is they require minimum of 36 square inches and more air...

I don't see though mine either. But I also have tinted windows. (Live in Vegas) so it's never been an issue for me. Maybe some tint your back window as well could work Sent from my iPad using Wander The West

not really. maybe you could remove the tank and get a good distance way from the camper and any other source of sparks. Then find a small regulator and bit of hose and just open the valve and let it drain out and try and and find a different supplier or propane then you used last time to fill...

If you are getting tons of soot, then you are not getting a clean burn or possibly something wrong with your fuel. Your in Mexico? Maybe you got a poor supply of propane. Maybe see if you can try different propane would be the first thing I would try. 1990 Ford F-250 1997 fwc grandby

Great work on the truck and camper. Keep the updates coming! Sent from my iPad using Wander The West

Well guess I am all in now with my fwc. I just sold my Thor 18 ft toy hauler. It was a lot of fun to play around with and learn about remodeling campers. I changed the floor plan, plumbing, cabinets and built a table. Was fun but just to much of a pain to pull and try and go off roading. Now...

Sounds like your converter may have gone bad then. That would be about the only thing I could think of other then something in your breaker box or fuse pannel going south. I would get a volt meter and check if you have power both 12v and 110v going into it and if nothing is coming out you have...

Here is the link to my fridge swap along with other mods. http://www.wanderthewest.com/forum/index.php?/topic/11351-New-to-me-grandby 1990 Ford F-250 1997 fwc grandby

I have the dometic 65l and it slid right in with zero modification. Didn't work well and used a ton of power until I vented it correctly and used some computer fans. Now it works great. You might check truck fridge If your considering a cooler style fridge. They gave us a group buy in but it...

It all depends on the truck and type of motorcycle hitch carrier. I know 68 Siesta had some excitement when he hit a large pot hole in some road construction and a strap broke and the two motorcycles came off doing 65 mph. Lucky for him the other strap held and dragged the bikes behind until was...

Mine arrived next business day after I ordered. Got right down to zero in a hurry and seems very well built. Now just need to take it camping to try it out! Sent from my iPad using Wander The West

Here is what I use. A bit of scrap metal and some heated metal bent into hooks. Fits great. Sent from my iPad using Wander The West

I found this thead in the "other" section. While it is not a FWC, it deals with how to change an older camper to fit a newer truck model. But more importantly it shows what you can do with the extra space in a new storage section. Pretty neat set up and worth taking a look...

Great work! Love the outdoor kitchen. That was about the only thing I saw at overland expo with all the off road cargo trailers with roof tents I envied was the out door kitchens. Sure makes it nice to be cooking outside where everyone else is at.

I saw on truckcampermagazine.com a new camper from palomino I think? It had a bed liner completely around it from top to bottom. I've considered the bottom and roof but not much more then that. Sent from my iPad using Wander The West

2nd on the talk with Brian at Alaskan campers. If you are ordering from them everything the make is custom so they will build to make it fit perfect. 1990 Ford F-250 1997 fwc grandby

I know a lot of us like our truck campers for many different reasons but being able to pull trailers is one of mine. Have any of you made or modified your trailers to better suit your needs on the road? If so, what did you do and why? 1990 Ford F-250 1997 fwc grandby

hi Ted, mine had the insulation in it from the factory. I'd say it's mostly like a dynomatt type product. Sent from my iPad using Wander The West

when I tow my 7k toy hauler I get around 6-7 mpg. My newer gmc gas with the 6.2 does much better around 8-10 pulling it. But kinda limited off road. Sent from my iPad using Wander The West

just wondering what do you get if you are doing 75 mph? How much does it drop off? Sent from my iPad using Wander The West

I searched and can't find a topic so sorry in advance if I missed it. Wondering what you fellow wander's are getting mpg wise in your rigs on the hwy. I have my camper on a 1990 Ford F-250 manual std cab long bed. Last 600 mile road trip doing 75 mph i avg just over 11 mpg. Best I have gotten...
