My inside cold water connection to the shower failed on my 2006 Kestrel(hawk). Anyone know how these plumbing connections work? I can't figure out what is wrong and how to fix. The brass elbow goes into a white plastic nut, inside that plastic nut is a rubber collar and a metal flange. The...

Renogy makes adjustable tilting brackets and mounts that can be fastened to Yakima rails with the right hardware. Just search amazon.

It's my LPI gas leak detector located below my fridge. When I turn of my main kill switch or unplug from shore it beeps fault/low voltage. In assuming this isn't an issue, unless it's telling me there is a fault somewhere.

This has been bugging me for ever.. especially this winter.. Glad you brought this up :)

Thanks Oryguntroutbum. Turned out to be a bad butt splice between the inverter and master switch. Problem solved! From -10c to +10c, life is better.

I'm out on a winter trip right now and have run into an electrical issue with my 2006 kestrel. When plugged into shore power I have full power. I have a LiFePO4 battery and it's fully charged, my mppt controller and battery monitor are all good. 110v breakers are fine and same with 12v fuses...

To hop in late.. I recently upgraded to lifep04. I have a victron mppt 100/30 controller, battery monitor and a canbat 100ah battery. If I understand this correctly... If I'm charging my LiFePO4 while driving my truck I run the risk of damaging my alternator? And if I install the Victron...

Thanks for all the input! It was such a big help. During the summer lockdowns I installed a 200w panel, 100/30 victron mppt controller and monitor... And just ordered and installed a 100ah LiFePO4 battery from Canbat (I'm living in BC now). Works amazingly well, what an upgrade. I feel like...

Hello, I have a 2006 FWC Kestrel. When I unplug from shore power I get a loud and long (3-5 seconds) beep. Sounds like a much louder and sustained version of the fault beeps for low battery. I've tried researching this and have come up with nothing. Anyone have any ideas what this could be...

I've heard a few trip reports in the past couple weeks of people having no issues traveling in the Baja. Definitely read Baja Nomad trip reports on the forum. Get vehicle insurance, I typically use Baja Bound. Also recommend taking the 5 and not the 1. Feel free to PM for spot recommendations.

I'm finally getting around to installing my old Arb awning on the passenger side of my 2006 Kestrel. I'm debating installing it directly below the original awning mount (see photo), or removing the original awning mount and installing in its place. Looking at the original mount it has 25+...

Thanks Jack! I'm moving to BC from California in a couple weeks so this will come in handy for those colder temps :)

If you go the Yakima route you can go new or used. The cheapest bar option for Yakima is the round bar. And it pairs with the older style control towers (search eBay and CL) or the new skyline towers. Yakima landing pads #1 pair with either of these towers. I have the 78" round bars and like...

Thanks Paul! I don't think I'm ready for the LiFePO4 yet but would consider it in a couple years when my current battery needs replacing. I think I'll go with their 30amp controller instead. Thanks for the recommendations!!

Having perused the many solar threads I've come to the following solar setup for my 2006 Kestrel. And, looking for some confirmation that I'm not missing anything and that my choices are actually up to date (2020). Aaron @ 4WC helped me out with putting a solar plug in my roof so that part is...

Nice! I'm moving to Vancouver Island next month from Cali. Hope to find some spots like this :)

Is this still available?

Still available?

Will this fit a first gen tundra with 6.5 ft box. Also do you know the weight and construction type? Thanks
