Now I am confused! I'm getting 13.5 amps at the Anderson plug from the truck. Plugged into that with wires running from fuse (that goes to DC to DC) and ground bus bar. I am only getting 1.5 amps at that end.. The DC to DC is not showing up on my device list on phone .The line looks fine...

I just mounted that Rotopax mount on the back of my Eagle. Stud finder was no help so I just started drilling small holes from inside the camper before I hit something solid. I used a similar sized aluminum plate in the camper as a backup. Got three bolts through the aluminum frame and the two...

Thanks Jon. I actually used a Blue Sea System 7182 40 amp fuse that was mentioned earlier. I put another one just before the house battery. I was admiring my cable work today and noticed that I completly bypassed the fuse. GRRR. I now just need to install a Anderson plug mount in the truck...

Only a foot. I really appreciate your information Vic. It has really helped me take this project on. 8 gauge between house and Orion new 6 gauge between truck and Orion.

I am replacing the 10 gauge wire between truck and Orion DC to DC charger. I installed a 30 amp fuse near the truck battery and another just before the charger in the camper. The new line is 6 gauge. Currently there is 8 gauge wire and 30 amp fuse between the Orion charger and house battery...

Dicor after the roof still leaked weeks later.

I've done a couple back country ski tours after the road closes in winter. It gets very little use except for the occasional snowmobilers. Some of the cabins are left unlocked that I "may" have slept in.

I did exactly that. No leaks in three years!

Not mine but I saw two different FW Fleets for sale on Bellingham WA craigslist for sale. 27 k.

I have a 1999 Eagle that you are welcome to visit. I'm located in Bellingham.

Most excellent, thank you.

That looks sweet!

Best trip report ever.

I have a LED strip that runs above the rear door. It also functions as a turn signal. Nice to have anytime but especially when bikes have a cover on the rear rack. The bike cover obscured the tail lights. Someone on here recommended the site but I don't remember the name of it.

Yes inflatable. There are youtube videos showing how.

Some of the ultra light backpacking folks will cut down the size of their inflatable mattresses. I don't remember the process but it seemed pretty easy.

You could easily fit a bag of skis there. Cool idea!

Line the bed with heavy plastic. Buy a wood burning immersion water heater. Drive to any ski area. Toss snow in the bed in the the am. Insert water heater. Charge one dollar a minute to skiers after the lifts close. Kinda obvious isn't it?

In for a penny, in for a pound

What? No heated seats in the camper?

I used a bicycle inner tube on a topper. I believe it was a 26" mountain bike tube. Inflate a little bit and slide it into place then inflate to seal. This did cause the paint on the cab to wear a bit.

I , for one, look forward to serving our metallic overlords. (just a little insurance there)

1999 Eagle Side dinette one vent Maxair 72" from front 24.5" to back vent is offset width wise 18" from drivers side edge 33.75" to passenger side Thanks for doing this!

Done! Thanks for the link

I have to use a folding three step ladder to get my board on top. If I leave the board on top when raising roof I use the speaker stand method. I might just get an inflatable SUP for longer trips. Love having the SUP along but it is a hassle.
