I keep planning to use this, but haven't in 5 years. If you'd like to give it a happy home, drop me a note. I'm in San Diego and so is the table : )

Thanks all for the extremely useful advice. Vic, Stan replied that FWC does not run wires within the frame members. I've begun the process and drilled / mounted the rear set. It's a nice system that allows the rack to come on and off as needed, so it's there for surfboards or kayaks, but...

Thanks Vic. Stan concurs : ) Karl

Thanks Frank!

Hi there, I'd like to mount a roof rack, but I want to be sure that if I drill into the aluminum frame member, I won't hit any wires. Question: Does FWC place wires within the actual frame members (or am I safe to drill there)? I really appreciate everyone's advice - thank you very much! Karl

Aloha fellow FWC fans, I've got a 3 piece portable table that came as original equipment in our Fleet that is not getting used. It's in perfect condition and free to the first taker. I'm in San Diego, where you'd want to be to pick this up : ) Happy Holidays!!! Karl

I suspect that a lot of us are looking at the same question as our AGM batteries get to the end of their life cycle. AGM vs Lithium: Because the (2) 75 Ah AGM batteries (standard in FWC dual battery set ups) can only be drained to about 50%, a single 100 AH LiFePO4 battery, which can be...

Hi Zirkel, 2017 TRD OffRoad + Fleet with factory interior on full time. I began with Airbags. It was "okay"...but you could feel the slight sway, etc....and I had big concerns about what would happen if an airbag failed far off road?! We travel a lot on roads that need our truck to be on its...

Hey Justin, Great question and I agree with the advice provided. My wife and I run a Taco Quad Cab + Fleet and really dig it. It's compact, gets good mileage, is easy to park, etc. BUT...I would not want to share it with 3 or 4 people. Even with 2, we have to have a routine so as not to be...

I agree with the advice above. 2017 Taco Quad Cab. Went with Firestone airbags out of the gate, but we did not like the feeling AND did not like depending upon an air system - if it breaks somewhere deep off road or far from home, limping back is going to be trouble. Soooo....Deaver Springs...

Great rig! On the enhanced suspension issue, the RideRites will provide some balancing and leveling, but they do not substitute for heavier springs. The trade off is that the truck will ride poorly with the camper off if you have heavier springs, where you can adjust the RideRites when you...

Mark, I fabricated almost the same set up, again using .33 aluminum. To address the potential issue of a lever arm on the portion of the fabricated mount furthest toward the center of the camper / furthest away from the jack bracket, I placed a solid screw through the fabricated mount...

Wow, heavy thread : ) Agree with so much said above... There are so many opportunities as a doc. Get out and connect and share your gift. You'll get back 10 fold what you give. A camper is just a thing. What you do with it is what counts to your soul. FWCs are bomb, but they're just a...

Beautiful rig Neil! Thanks for putting such a complete description / photos. I'll send the link to a few possible customers. Good luck on the sale. Karl

Santiam, I have a 2015 fleet with the Zamp factory solar. I've added an auxiliary panel and it works great to keep the batteries fully charged when shade's an issue. It's very easy to do: 1. We used a soft panel - it's much lighter and easier to store in the camper...

We recently set up a portable 100 watt panel so that we could maintain batteries even if parked in the shade. It works incredibly well. Like your set up, the SAE plug on the rear of the camper (2015 Fleet with factory set up rooftop panels and controller) was connected to the controller. But...

Andy, I have to second Rotti's comments above. No matter how much we wish our camper + equipment combos were "just a few hundred pounds over" GVWR, reality check (at the weigh station) will prove otherwise. Our small trucks just don't have the payload capacity to handle it all. The airbags...

You'll need the fitting that engages the the bolts currently in your bed to install the bars. Looks like this. As above, it's very straight forward. If you have solar in the unit, you may not even choose to connect to your truck battery. If you do, it's about 2 hours of work. Stoked - hope...

We use 40 foot cables (#10 wire). We spend time in the forest and this has let us keep the panel in the sun very nicely.
