    FWC Eagle fit my 2002 GMC Sierra 1500?

    I have a FWC Eagle and have been using it for years in a Tacoma. Though the Tacoma did the job I was almost always overweight and towing a motorcycle trailer as well was really tiring long distance. I'm in the process of upgrading to a FullSized truck. The Eagle on a Fullsize is a great solution...

    FWC Eagle (2010) longer term camping - off truck tips?

    I'm an Eagle owner and confirm the floor must be supported. My solution has been to tow a motorcycle with me and use that as a vehicle during long term stops.

    What portable toilet has the biggest seat and bowl?

    I have the Porta Potti 565E. Height is really good. Seat is not quite real toilet but good sized. Don't buy from Amazon can get better prices elsewhere. It's like the curve no batteries.

    FWC EAGLE - dimensions of roof lift pan

    I have an Eagle with composite panels. It's the Extra headroom top. If you like the taller panel measurements let me know. I forget how much taller it is then stock but it was only offered 1 or 2 years before they canceled the Eagle model.

    A truck companion for a FWC 2011 Eagle.. Any Advice?

    Funny, I'm thinking the opposite. I've done over 100,000 miles with my Tacoma and Eagle setup. My Tacoma itself has over 200,000 mies and I'm searching around for what to replace it with. I was considering a Full Size truck, because though I've been doing this for years and many many miles I've...

    Fitting a FWC Eagle to Full Size truck Ideas/Opinions?

    PVC pipe gray water tank is also an idea to use up the side space over the wheel wells. I'm going to have to go to some dealers and measure some full size truck beds to get a real idea what I'm dealing with. If a under camper gray water tank or if the PVC over the wheel well would be a better...

    Fitting a FWC Eagle to Full Size truck Ideas/Opinions?

    Those are some good ideas! I like the bracket idea as well as a lip...I'm going to put that on my list of things to spec out once I know which full size I'm going to buy. It's up between the Ram 1500 and Chevy. Both have different size beds which would alter any building I would do, but these 2...

    Awnings?

    My Fiamma is awesome. I would not get the Batwing I've been camping with others with the batwing and they always seem to catch the wind and cause problems. I like having the Fiamma side and rear as separate awnings.

    Fitting a FWC Eagle to Full Size truck Ideas/Opinions?

    Klahanie, Thanks for the ideas! I was also thinking make the tank a base and put it in the truck first then camper on top. That would be easier to fabricate. Also, I was thinking about how high I would have to lift the camper. I need to see if the jacks I have can go high enough to get the...

    Fitting a FWC Eagle to Full Size truck Ideas/Opinions?

    Thanks for the comments. It's good to know 2x4s worked so my thoughts of adding a 5inch tank under the camper is close to being the correct size. Also the side compartments with wood doors sounds just fine... And yes, getting in and out flexibility is a concern but my current tacoma is lifted...

    Fitting a FWC Eagle to Full Size truck Ideas/Opinions?

    So, my Tacoma has finally hit 210000+ miles, its starting to get a bit tired. It's time for me to look at new trucks. I'm very much considering a full size truck. I have a FWC Eagle that I'd wish to keep and modify to fit a full size truck. I know it will need to be raised up. I'm trying to...

    Insulating the floor of your camper

    I did this mod. I was able to tell a difference. The floor doesn't feel as cold as it did with the bare feet test...lol

    who uses Fog lights? / Hella 500 / OEM connector->F350

    I use fog lights quite often. I live in the mountains and drive through fog or cloud deck in spring and fall...let alone they help with snow too. I always have fog lights on cars and trucks. Low height wide spread works best. Best to wire with the stock harness because then they will work...

    Moving from #Vanlife to a Camper

    I have a Tacoma with Eagle FWC. We did 3 people and dog for several months - trip to AK. It's a tight fit. There will be bickering...LOL! I would think with your kid being older it might be more desirable to go larger right from the start as many have already mentioned on this thread. At 10 you...

    Anyone thinking about a new Truck

    I have been looking for a truck for at least 1.5 years now. I'm hoping hybrids catch on like the RAM truck system. I like the attempt by Ram but wish it wasn't just stop/start but more like a supercharger... Funny even though I like the etorque RAM I would still want the 33 gallon tank option...

    Recommendations on bug removal products

    Both, spray on let soak to remove bugs. The Silicone will leave a layer that will help the next time to remove bugs. BUT it's not like wax it will wash away over time. But I live in a desert so the film stays a long time for me.
