    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Dead Bolt Door Lock- Schlage Replacement?

    Reading all those stories about being locked out of the Four Wheel campers is making me very nervous. I would like to replace the original lock on my 2017 Fleet with a high quality dead bold door lock. Can anyone provide me with a Schlage model number that will fit? Thank you Mike

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West I did a stupid solar thing!

    I think I did something stupid because of solar ignorance. I have a 2017 Fleet camper with a solar panel on the roof and a solar panel connection near the camper door and a Zamp Solar Controller. I recently purchased a Bluetti EB3A portable power station with a PV120 120 watt, 24.4 volt portable...

    I am looking to purchase a 120 watt portable solar panel for use with my 2017 Fleet.

It would be simplest to get one from Zamp, but they have to be custom made...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Issues to be Aware of

    Vic, So you must have ordered the 14.5" to 21.5" length? That seems a bit long for my application. I have the aluminum turnbuckles from the installer for a Fleet on a Nissan Frontier. I haven't measured them, but it seems that they tightened down to less than 12". Mike

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Issues to be Aware of

    Oh, oh! My installation was done by the same Tigard dealer. I guess that I better check my wiring. I hate the turnbuckles too! I did read somewhere on here that there are a different style of turnbuckle available that allow a quick release and re-tightening. I'll have to look them up again.

    Dagwood, How did you mount your GlowSteps? The Torklift site shows them drilling holes and bolting on a mounting bracket. My Nissan Frontier has a step built into the bumper and it doesn't look like it would work. Thanks Mike
