    NuCamp Cirrus 620 / truck combo

    As others have said, you'll need to check the payload capacity sticker for individual trucks as the included trim and options package impact the payload capacity, however most 2500/250 HD trucks will easily work for you. The Cirrus 620 is designed for a fullsize truck rather than an HD so it is...

    A high-quality outdoor camp table with no loss of internal storage space

    Jack, that link doesn't work. Looks like you have a period at the end of the link. I'll just link to the entire table and chair menu to see if that works better...there are three different tables. https://www.frontrunneroutfitters.com/en/us/camping-gear/chairs-tables.html

    Chinese Diesel Air Heaters (in-depth video series)

    I've used one of these in my non-insulated snowmobile trailer this season and it's been great. Have a second one sitting here to use in my shop, but have not yet permanently installed yet; just demo ran it a few times with exhaust pipe sticking out through the garage door. Went with this in...

    Aluminum body F-150 and F250 and Steel eye bolts.

    I think you are blowing the issue way out of proportion. Even if all the conditions are right and you live, or often travel, oceanside, it's not like the entire bed of your truck is going to rot off in 5 years. Ha. Corrosion would be minor at worst if the proper conditions exist and you did...

    Bunk Head Room – Fleet VS. Hawk

    Unrelated to height, but whichever you get, Fleet or hawk, I recommend getting the king bed option. In the hawk, sleeping front to back, rather than side to side, is great with two people. No crawling over the top of each other and more head and foot room compared to sleeping sideways. When...

    New FWC Fleet Shell exterior options fiberglass/silver spur

    As others have mentioned, the optional upgrade to aluminum jack brackets refers to the jack brackets permanently attached to the camper; not the removable jacks themselves which are steel. Some replace them for the tiny weight savings but to me, the biggest advantage is to replace the painted...

    FWC changes over the years?

    This info used to be listed on the FWC website which was very handy...but I don't see it anymore. Did they take it down with the last website redesign or am I just missing it?

    Good Article on the Necessity of a Fridge

    Yes that Trimetric is the one. As Vic points out, there are several brands that will get the job done. I think it is important for one to run a monitor before spending money on solar, larger battery packs, other charging options, etc. So wire up a monitor, get to know how your current battery...

    Good Article on the Necessity of a Fridge

    I thought we'd live with one of our supercoolers for at least a year after buying our Hawk, but then Engel had a sale so a 45qt topload fridge found it's way into our camper. Replaced our 45qt cooler but has so much more room since 1/3 of it isn't filled with ice. We'll not go back to a cooler...

    King Bed Upgrade size?

    Jim, I'll have to check when I next pop the top (I should have measured when we were out this weekend), but it seems to me our king is longer than 75". More like 80"+. I know it's longer than the 77" width. I'm 6' and my wife is 5'10" and sleeping sideways was too crowded with only 5 inches to...

    Adding Solar to a 2007 Keystone

    Nice trip, Craig! As Durango1 suggested, a portable jumpstarter is a great idea. That particular one seems a bit bulky. Maybe it's a lead acid one rather than lithium. The little lithium jump starters are the size of two smartphones stacked on top of one another (for v6 gas) and maybe twice...

    King Bed Upgrade size?

    We have the king bed option in our Hawk shell (with furnace, cooktop and side dinette) and would never consider NOT getting the king option. If you don't want to pull it out to king, you don't have to. Use it as a Full not pulled out at all. Use it as a queen with two cushions. Use it as a king...

    160 Watt 12V Monocrystalline Solar Panel $115

    I posted this in another thread so thought I'd go back and at least put the continuation in this thread as well. Here are some pictures of how I attached my 180watt panel. As noted previously, it was chosen because it, like the 160watt panel, spanned the yakima track width perfectly so no need...

    Mounting solar panel to FWC/Thule rack, how to?

    To elaborate on my initial recommendation for a solar panel that spans your track width, here are some pictures of how I attached my 180watt panel. It spanned the track width perfectly so no need for angle stock to span the gap of the tracks like one needs for shorter panels. I measured, marked...

    Mounting solar panel to FWC/Thule rack, how to?

    I suggest a 160 or 180 watt panel which will span the width of your tracks (or any panel that is the same width or wider than your particular tracks). Much easier to mount compared to a panel that does not, price difference is insignificant and it will give you a little bit more leeway on daily...

    Using camper battery bank/solar to recharge other battery banks (such as boat batteries).

    Thanks Rando, I remember looking at that thread before it changed topics onto charging a boat battery. Good info. If I hook this up, I believe I would want to hook my negative to the shunt so the shunt and trimetric are in the circuit because I'd want the trimetric to keep track of juice flowing...

    160 Watt 12V Monocrystalline Solar Panel $115

    Squatch, I've been considering using my camper battery bank/solar to recharge my boat batteries since I have so much unused potential. I just started a new thread to discuss if you, or anyone, is interested. Here...

    Using camper battery bank/solar to recharge other battery banks (such as boat batteries).

    Thought I'd start a thread about using your camper battery bank/solar to recharge batteries on another battery bank. This came up on a recent thread so thought I'd start a new one to discuss. Though in my application, I'd be charging batteries in a fishing boat, this thread isn't isolated to...
