    Should I avoid a Fleet/Tacoma combo because of overweight?

    I essentially have the same truck and camper. At 125k miles all is good. Rear suspension was upgraded with additional leaf springs. Front shocks were upgraded when I added a front winch and aluminum bumper. We do a fair amount of off road driving with no issues. I go slow with the camper in...

    Questions regarding "So, you want to setup a good electrical system in your camper?"

    In the for what it’s worth column. In 2014 I purchased Fleet with FD with two AGM batteries. There is not a vent in the battery compartment. We lived in Oregon when we purchased it new.

    Flexible Solar Panel Recommendations

    I'm looking for recommendations for flexible solar panel(s) to install on my camper. Many of the Amazon ones seem questionable. This Lensun 200W panel seems like a good fit. Has anyone installed this panel? Any other suggestions or recommendations for panels? I'm trying to go with a...

    Truck - Camper Breaker Question

    I'm in the infancy of upgrading my 2014 Fleet to a 100aH LiPo battery, DC2DC charging, and solar. Looking at the BlueSea wire size chart, I think I need a 50 A breaker or fuse for 6 awg wire or a 80 A breaker/fuse for 4 awg wire to installed close to each battery. For the camper battery I'm...

    CO2/ propane detector going off

    After having the same issue I switched CO/Propane monitor brands. I installed this one from etrailer. https://www.etrailer.com/RV-Gas-Detectors/RV-Safe/RS34FR.html. 6 months out and no interrupted sleep. It was an easy install in my Fleet.

    Building an Arctic - Cold Weather Pack

    We went with the warm windows fabric for our arctic pack upgrade. In my opinion having a good vapor barrier is key if you camp in low temperatures. We still get ice at the camper ends where the fabric does not extend. Overall it’s a huge improvement over the fwc arctic pack. We had a couple...

    Sourcing Thermal Liner Material

    I used warm window fabric. Really pleased with the product. It’s an effective moisture barrier in addition to the insulation. https://warmcompany.com/product/warm-window-insulated-fabric-54-x-15-yard-bolt/

    Propane Alarm

    I replaced my propane detector after about 7 years. It was a slow death with it going off randomly with no propane around for about months before. I now carry a spare since the replacement is a few years old. Sleepless nights get old quickly.

    Bicycle Rack Recommendations

    I’ve tried wrapping the bike in a lumber wrap but it’s not ideal. Dust still got to the bike and the tail lights were blocked by the wrap. I thought about making a hitch extension that raises the bike tray above the tail lights. Room in the camper and truck is tight with two dogs. I’ll look...

    Bicycle Rack Recommendations

    I’ve got a 2014 Tacoma with a Fleet. I’ve always used a Yakima but recently broke it. Don’t ask. We drive a lot of dirt roads so my mtb bike gets covered in dust. I bring a gallon chug of water but it’s not a great solution. Any ideas?

    How long do roof struts last?

    The exterior part of the struts are showing a fair amount of corrosion. I’ve got a 2014 Fleet. Also, are some strut brands better then others?

    Outdoor shower?

    Hollyburn, when this happened to me I found a problem at the quick connect attachment in the valve box on the outside of the camper. There was a plastic gasket that had turned sideways blocking water flow. I ended up replacing the valve box.

    Dometic (RM2193) 3 Way Fridge Problem

    My Dometic fridge (Model RM2193) will work on DC and AC but not on propane. The propane lites and runs but the cooling lines do not warm up like they do on DC and AC. The chimney is running its typical level of very warm temperature when on propane. Any ideas what the problem is or how to...

    Couple things I noticed at 5 degrees F.

    Against FWC and others recommendations I run water system during the winter months. There concerns are fully valid but I like being able to use the water system. This past December we camped in -10F weather with no issues except for maybe the truck not wanting to turnover. A list of what I’ve...

    Door Lock Options

    Thanks for the info. Sounds like showing the lock a little more attention should help though I'll be curious if some has tried the keyless lock.
