@nikonron ahhh, I think I just figured out the picture, the exhaust is routed under the edge of the bed and along the hitch.

@nikonron does the exhaust then go through the bed of the truck?

Do you have some additional photos the aluminum sleeve? Maybe photos of it before install. What path does the exhaust pipe take after it exits the camper?

Sucks this happened. I'm the big picture, happening at the dealer is probably the best place for a nightmare like this to happen. Better than a mom and pop mechanic shop. It's 100% their fault and they know it. Fight them tooth and nail and the end result will be good. It may take a...

@nikonron what is the piece that that exhaust is going through when it exits the camper?

I have seen a few of the diesel heater installs on WTW and on Youtube, etc. Most of the installs do not follow the most important rule of diesel heater installs which is the exhaust and intake combustion air intake connections are supposed to be outside the cabin. This is easily accomplished...

Thanks for the update. I was having withdrawals while the site was down.

So, behind the push panel and then straight up through the ceiling? Did you do anything where it goes through the ceiling? I need to take a look at the area behind the push panel. Not sure about drilling up through that area. Is there enough space for the drill? (I know you have an ATC...

I have it flat mounted on the roof on two tracks. I am using the Gen 3 Starlink - there is no pole and it is pretty low profile. If I can avoid it, I do not like wires run on the outside.

STARLINK CABLE I am installing a Starlink dish on the roof of my FWC. I need to run a wire (ethernet) from inside the camper to the roof. Any recommendations on how to do this and where the best place to do it is. Dish is located at the rear drivers side of roof, so ideally I come up to...

Vic, When you say 80 and 60 do you mean 40x2 and 30x2?

Vic, When you say mount points are you referring to where the gas struts attach? Did you do anything to beef them up? Assuming you never put the canoe up top, would you still go with the 80/60?

About 50lb solar panel, starlink, four maxtrax and associated aluminum to mount everything. Is not done yet, but that's the plan.

Are you happy with the 40lb struts? Any thoughts that you should have gone with 50lb?

Are you still looking for these? I will have some off a June 2022 Grandby. I plan on ordering some 40 lb lifts.

Anyone have an estimate of how much propane the Dometic heater uses? I realize there are numerous factors involved in how much propane is used. Looking for rough estimates.

The Foamular 250 looks great. I need it 1" thick and it is nowhere to be found in Southern California. HD sells 1" thick, but it is the Foamular 150, which is not 25 PSI. If anyone has a source for Foamular 250 4x8x1" please let me know. White Cap might be able to get me a sheet. It would...

Did you secure it to the bottom of the camper? How much "lift" did you need?

I am getting a used camper. I believe I will need to raise it up about 2" for proper cab clearance. Is there a best practice to build the platform? I thought I read somewhere to use Poly Iso. Is this OK to use...

Great info. Thank you. On a previous truck build I put a 380w panel on a shell. Worked great. How did you mount the panel? Fwiw - Craigslist is a great place to find the residential panels for a fraction of the price of new. I think contractors have a panel or two left over from a job and...

I recommend that you think about the following: First figure out how much power you use and need for the type and seasons of camping you will be doing. Remember to factor in consecutive days of low Sun, clouds, rain, etc. if appropriate to your type of use (boonie camping no shore power...

I am looking for the distance/height from the interior bottom of the truck bed (where the bottom of a camper would sit) to the top of the cab? TIA

What do you use for your pee jug? Link for the 3 mil bags that you use?

Do you use a shower tent outside, or some other method?

Predicting weather or road conditions 2 months in advance in California is quite difficult.
