Yeah, I know what you mean. What I should have done is looked a bit more closely at the weather forecast before removing the camper. Every day’s a school day as they say!

I’m back home next week Wallowa; watch this space…

Thanks for that Wandering Sage Bush. I guess I might have to experiment with a few different designs of ground anchor and find the best one. The oil canning thread is a great read and very interesting. My son in law is a vibration engineer and very capable. I will have a chat to him and see what...

Thanks pvstoy, I was having similar thoughts, however, the wind abated into the evening and I was able to get the camper back on without too much drama - thankfully. Should I find myself in a similar situation again, it may be an idea to have a couple of ground anchors available, similar to the...

Thanks for that Jon and for checking your owners manual. My vehicle is a Land Rover Defender 130 and so the truck bed is not quite as high as yours - about 30”- 32”. The wind is dropping a little this evening to about 15mph gusting to about 25, and that is the best it’s going to get in the next...

Hi folks, we are currently touring Scotland in the UK with our Wildcat FWC - the equivalent in the US is a Fleet I think. Anyway. it’s really windy up here, about 40mph or so and I have the camper de-mounted at the moment as we plan to use the vehicle to go off and see some sights. However, I’m...

Hey Hiker9, sounds like you had a fairly drastic situation. How did you get the old battery out if you couldn't get the new one in. Do you have any photos?

Dipodomys, I was faced with the same dilemma as you a few months ago when I was thinking of replacing the two Victron 60AH GELs with a single 200AH LifePo4 and I measured up as you did, but realised that, whilst it would fit in the space lengthways, it would not go in through the door...

Hi there Mileage, more than happy to help you out here. To be honest, I haven’t even thought about what spec aluminium I was going to use as I’ve only really just worked out my plan and how I’m going to fix the box section to the underside, bearing in mind the weight that may be in the drawer...

Hi folks, well I’m pleased and very relieved to say that I’ve just spoken on the phone to Stan at FWC - what an incredibly helpful and thoroughly nice chap. He has confirmed how the floor pack is constructed, which was pretty much what I thought after help from you guys and looking at numerous...

Check out these two You Tube videos which talk about connecting solar panels together. You may need to cut and paste as I'm not sure that the hyperlinks work. - DIY solar power with Will Browse - Explorists Life - DIY campers Will Prowse is excellent and is worth subscribing to as he does...

Hi Mighty Dodge, thanks for that. I have been following G&B for over a year now and they are the source of my inspiration. I have been in touch with Leigh and he has answered a couple of questions for me, but can’t help me with where to drill. Not only that, their rig is on a container ship...

So here is a plan view of the sort of thing that I'm thinking... The 3/4" ply sits on top of this and the 1/4" ply sits below it. The batons sit under the 1/4" ply and are secured with screws through the aluminium frame from above. Unless they are just glued onto the 1/4" ply, although I saw...

Hi Guys, I think I should probably be in bed, but hey.... Thanks again here by the way. I think you're right about the staples going into the 3/4" ply Vic. That would definitely make sense. And thanks for the link Wandering Sagebrush, that was helpful. I believe the Wohnkabinencenter ship over...

Hey you guys, thanks so much for getting back to me. I bought the camper from the Wohnkabinencenter and dealt with a great bloke called Moritz Linden. He was so helpful and it was a real pleasure to do business with them. I think Jens is the top guy there. He was also very helpful. So please...

Hi Olypilot, I’m quite new to this forum, but keen to get involved and am more than willing to help if I can. Are you talking about specific FWC spares, heater spares or general spares including tools, etc?

Good evening/morning folks. I am new to this forum so I thought I might introduce myself. My apologies by the way if this is not the right place for this particular topic so please feel free to direct me otherwise if needs be. I am from a very cold Southampton in the UK and have recently...
