Great job on the camper and very nice idea with the solar panel. I am working on my 84 fleet and doing some of the same changes that you are. What has been done to the lower couch? How does it work? Your leaks in the corner are probably due to the fact the the side canvas was installed over...

If you run the frige the night before you take off traveling there is no need to run it while driving. As long as you keep it closed up during the day, it will stay nice and cold during your drive. If you stop for an extended period during the day, run it on propane for a while while you sight...

5 Speed. The 4 inch end caps used on the 4 inch hollow RV bumpers might work for you.

MXVP, How many amps does your frige draw a day? The solar panel or panels that you buy will only charge about 6 hours a day so you will have to size them accordingly. You will also need enough battery storage so that they do not get drawn down past 50% overnight and preferably not past 30% for...

I just ordered the new taller canvas and lifts today from FWC and am going to try to install the canvas under the lip of the aluminum roofing. It will probably be a couple of weeks before I receive it but will post some pics when I do it. I took the trim off the fleet today to measure it and...

Thanks for the starting the great thread an the shocks. The info here helped me a lot and It looks like some of the other guy's also. Happy camping!

Driving with the frige on propane is a very dangerous thing to do. In the past I have done it until I talked to my local RV repair guy that I was buying parts from. He said it is the main reason so many RV's burn down when on the road. It happens quite a bit. What he suggested if you can't or...

ski3pin, Where did you get the stove and sink with the covers? Are they sturdy and do you like them?

This is from windsun.com, When using a small solar panel to keep a float (maintenance) charge on a battery (without using a charge controller), choose a panel that will give a maximum output of about 1/300th to 1/1000th of the amp-hour capacity. For a pair of golf cart batteries, that would be...

I have had a couple of leaks this spring in my mid 80 FWC and think that I finally figured it out this weekend. I thought it might be the screws but upon further investigation the silicone seal I had between the top trim piece that wraps around the top of the camper and the top itself had a...

The problem with the tankless hot water systems is that you have to open the sink valve pretty much to full to get the tankless unit to kick on and then you cannot reduce th flow very much at all or it will kick back off and the water will be cold. That is a lot of wasted water down the drain...

The first post on this thread by Leadsled9 has a picture. I read the brand of shock and went to that site. Suspa.com. I looked at the shocks. His is rated for 40lbs. With two in the front that equals 80 lbs of lift. The next size up is rated at 60 lbs. that was too much for me. I bought four...

I am new to the forum, "Hello All", but have owned a FWC ( not sure of the model ) for a few years now. It is an an older FWC 6 ft. long narrow box that I totally rebuilt the lower half and made it wider to fit my 03 Access Cab Tundra with the 4.7 engine. The Tundra handled the FWC really well...
