    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West thru-bolting the underside of the overhang

    I'd like to install a pair of z-bars under the overhang to store a folding table or possibly a portable solar panel. I've seen some photos/threads on this, but I'm hoping to get some details or precautions on securing the bars to the camper. Would I thru-bolt with carriage bolts? Would they...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West pre-wired solar connection-- not as simple as I'd hoped

    thanks for all the input! I did manage to get it wired up (minus the load lines). I'm still waiting on some hardware to mount the panel on the roof but I was able to plug it into the socket on the rear of the camper and prop it up to face the sun. Everything seemed to be in order, current...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West pre-wired solar connection-- not as simple as I'd hoped

    Yes, it's a new Fleet shell. The video actually came from the thumb drive they gave me with the keys, which has about 30 videos on different aspects of camper and a pdf manual. I guess I assumed the controller also functioned as a monitor via bluetooth to your phone using their app. and...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West pre-wired solar connection-- not as simple as I'd hoped

    So I'm getting set to add a 200w solar panel to my Fleet Shell. Got the charge controller and the panel's supposed to arrive today. I watched the video from FWC where they walk through the solar pre-wiring and connections and was expecting to find a pair of leads going to the panel plugs on...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West questions on adding a second battery

    i have a new 4WC Fleet shell that I'm in the process of outfitting. It has the standard 79 amp hour AGM battery (Deka Intimidator). I'm only running the lights, fan and shurflo pump for the sink and cabinet I just built. Putting a 200w panel on next (plus charge controller). I expect to be...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Suspension help for Tacoma + Finch build

    Jeff at Deaver was very helpful. Fortunately for me they're close enough that I could drive down and pick them up (they are heavy so expensive to ship) and I installed them myself, which wasn't too difficult. I don't find the springs too harsh even w/o the shell, but maybe I'm used to driving...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Suspension help for Tacoma + Finch build

    I have 2012 Tacoma long bed with a fleet shell weighing approx 1,000 lbs. empty. I did a lot of back and forth on what to do suspension-wise and ended up getting a custom set of rear leafs from Deaver. I was concerned about the tendency of air bags to leak or fail outright. I just told them...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Limited Storage? 10 lbs of stuff in a 5 lbs cabinet.

    thanks for the links and suggestions! These look like exactly what I had in mind. Just not clear on whether the z-bar or whatever is used is secured to the underside. Is it through-bolted?

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Side Kitchenette Seats Aftermarket

    I have a fleet shell with a rollover couch. We got the couch to provide a bed for our kid to sleep on, but now i'm thinking we should've done a front dinette instead since a bed cross wise in that location would be big enough. One thought I had was to cut down the rollover couch to a wide...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Limited Storage? 10 lbs of stuff in a 5 lbs cabinet.

    Anybody make use of the space under the front overhang? There's a few inches between the underside of the camper and the roof of my truck. I was thinking of adding some brackets to hold a lightweight camping table that could slide into that space. Just not sure how secure the underside is for...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West some questions as I outfit a fleet shell

    Thanks for the tips! I'm familiar with the 7 gallon containers. I and my friends have use them for car camping but they're probably too heavy for the family rig and too big for the cabinet I'm building which will sit atop the low bench they put in the shell model. The 5-gallon ones I bought...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West some questions as I outfit a fleet shell

    hello everyone! Finally coming out of lurker mode now that I have a fleet and am starting to outfit it to my liking. I bought a shell model with the only options being the rollover couch, yakima tracks, cold pack and second roof vent. I figured we'd test it out and determine what we did and...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Advise needed from Tacoma owners

    I don't have much to add other than to say "hi" from a fellow Ventura County Tacoma/Fleet owner. I recently bought a shell model and am in the process of outfitting it. Before adding the camper I got a custom set of rear leaf springs from Deaver, bilstein 5100 shocks (they were overdue for...
