FWC did my solar and it has proven grossly inefficient and they want $1155 to redo the solar and $700 to switch out my dual 12 volt batteries to dual 6 volts (including modifying the cabinets,so they can fit). I wish I had done it myself.

FWC in Woodland kept insisting that everything was working according to specs. They told me that FWCs aren't intended for boondocking in overcast weather for more than a few days.

I have the dual 12 volts that FWC installed and even with nothing else running but the fridge at a 1 setting, the system still gets down to 12.5 volts on overcast days come 10pm.

You could always do what I did with my Tacoma. Remove camera harness & all from the tailgate & remount the camera below your camper. You will have to find a mounting plate for the camera that can be modified to attach it to your camper. FWC does the same.

I've modified my usage patterns & haven't really gained much in amp hours. It's only during a rainy week that my solar system is inadequate.

I live out of my FWC near a job site that has no showers Which is why I got the indoor shower.

LifeP04s won't fit. They're even bigger. FWC wanted $700 to modify the cabinets and install (2) 6volt batteries, as they suggested.

I want to switch my Fleet camper to (2) 6 volt batteries in order to get more amp hours. However, as you can see in pics #1 & 2, the adjacent compartment extends above my 12 volt battery 1". The 6 volt batteries won't fit with enough clearance. I removed the vent grill to see what's in the...

If FWC's support after the sale were better, I'd be more willing to give them the business. But considering I'VE HAD MY CAMPER LESS THAN A YEAR & they acted like I was being unreasonable to ask for a discount on upgrading an inefficient solar sytem, when they never offered the 6 volt batteries...

I got my 2018 Fleet factory direct without jamnuts. When I showed them my 4 turnbuckles with splayed ends, after just a 25 mph front end collision that caused the cab over to crease my cab,they didn't seem at all concerned. In their own words: "Even in a rollover we've never had a camper fly off...

Unfortunately, where I park homeless people are a problem. So, leaving the camper popped up when I'm at work is a no go.

I have a 2018 fleet & I have not noticed any oil canning in high winds. BTW, I only have the 2 vents & the 1 solar panel on my roof.

Hive mind, I've seen pictures of how someone else put their panel on a track that allows for tilting it. Have any of you done the same? If so, please provide links to where I can get them.

SCUD, I have considered just replacing the 12 volt batteries with (2) 6 volt batteries, as recommended by the FWC salesman. I was informed that I would have to cut away that 1 inch overhang into the battery compartment. I haven't removed the vent cover to see what's in the overhang. Thanks for...

I live out of my FWC Fleet with indoor shower sometimes 6 days a week. In the year that I've had it, I've used it 90+ days. I've found the insulation package reallly helps on cold nights. If your fridge runs off propane, you will go through propane faster & will need both tanks for heating &...

Rando, it's only on overcast or rainy days that the stock 160 watt Zamp set up has trouble keeping up. After 3 days, the batteries get too low. Batman, none of the public lots I park at, while working, have shore power.

I followed the lnk to https://www.mcmaster.com/steel-turnbuckles which models should I order for my 2018 Fleet on a 2015 Tacoma Access Cab long bed?

Mold came from the leaky seals, as the cushions were soaked after my 2 & 1/2 hour drive in a hellacious storm. I dried as best I could with open vents the next morning. FWC replaced the seals, as there was a leak, after just a 1/2 hour to their shop in a mild storm. The leaky shower didn't help...

BTW, I have enough room on my Fleet FWC for 2 panels. I've looked at the Overland 160 watt panels online & at Battle Born 100ah 12v gc2 lifepo4 deep cycle batteries and Victron charge controller on Amazon. If I go that route, which model charge controller should I get? Also, Camping World is...

Thank you all for your prompt input. As I stated before, I am using a Zamp ZS-30 solar charge controller with 1-160 watt Zamp solar panel with 2-12 volt AGM batteries (stock at the time from FWC). The only power draws are the Isotherm 85 fridge on a 2 setting (drawing 0.8 amps according to the...

I had my 2018 Fleet on a 2005 Tacoma Access Cab with airbags added for support until I totaled the truck. The airbags leaked & even after repair, had to have air added before every outing. I upgraded to a 2015 Tacoma Access Cab & added a set of leaf springs. Even when loaded with 25 gallons of...

Sorry for the rant. I have a 2018 Fleet with the 160 Zamp solar & ZS-30A 30Amp controller & (2) 12 volt batteries running an Iotherm fridge on a low setting. I took delivery almost a year ago. I go off grid sometimes for 6 days straight. I too am having issues keeping a charge. Full charge...

I had the same thing happen to me after a 25mph accident in my Tacoma. Bought a 2015 Tacoma to replace the 2005. I showed the splayed open turnbuckles to FWC and I suggested going with a closed loop turnbuckle & quick links. They said that not even in a rollover have they had a camper fly off...
