    Cam straps to keep turnbuckles from loosening?

    A friend just got a new Hawk and the dealer showed him this cam strap trick of threading it through both turnbuckles so they don’t loosen up. Any thoughts on it? Im not sold on it yet.

    Best method for shifting/moving camper in the truck bed?

    So I got it shifted. Wound up removing turnbuckles and putting one jack on to use as a handle. Took hardly any effort to slide it over and back with just a little pulling.

    Best method for shifting/moving camper in the truck bed?

    Yeah our drive way is not flat and is older brick. I think this is why I can never quite get it perfectly centered. I noticed it was maybe an inch from the rubber stops on one side and touching on the other, and it shifted to one side. I'll put the jacks back on and see about lifting it a touch.

    Best method for shifting/moving camper in the truck bed?

    I noticed that my camper has shifted over to one side of the bed and I'd like to try and get it back centered if possible. Anyone have a method that works well and doesn't involve taking it off and putting it back on? Thanks!

    Used Thermal Pack?

    Interesting - never used a sewing machine. I’ll be curious how it performs for you! I do like the window openings in the factory ones - which I imagine would take a bit more work.

    Used Thermal Pack?

    Yeah I know we’ll still have moisture…hoping this would aid at least a little. Not terribly adept with a sewing machine or I would try.

    Used Thermal Pack?

    After my recent trip and all of the condensation I got in the camper each night I'm starting the search for a thermal pack. They're upwards of $900 new for my fleet which currently is a bit out of my budget due to house projects. Anyone ever had luck with finding them used? Thanks

    Just ordered a NOCO. Do I leave the battery connected in the camper or not when using the charger?

    Help with Solar/Battery during camper storage

    Just spent my first summer with our new solar and dometic set up - amazing! We’re on our way home after 6wks and I’m trying to figure out what to do with it in storage, outside. Previously I’d just disconnect the battery and all was fine when we reconnected it for the next trip. I’ve...

    Fleet Shell Storage Ideas

    Hey all, Just updated our shell with a dometic + solar which is great but now our current storage system has to be reworked. The cooler sits on the shelf opposite the rollover bench. Trying to figure out cook storage and food. Thanks!

    Mattress topper/enhancement suggestions.

    Do you use it with the cushions or just by itself?

    Mattress topper/enhancement suggestions.

    2017 Fleet and we currently use a 2” memory foam topper on top of the factory cushions. It’s ok but not as comfortable as we’d like plus it takes up a ton of space when not in sleep mode and when we travel (roll it up and store it when not sleeping). Any better suggestions from y’all? I’m...

    Firestone Ride Rite - inflating questions.

    Yeah I’m thinking I need to air them down some. I have a fleet shell and it’s not terribly loaded down. Dry weight is 900 and we use a 7gal water jug. 20lbs of propane for a he added stove.

    Firestone Ride Rite - inflating questions.

    Also curious roughly what psi you’d recommend on a Tacoma with a fleet? I’m at around 88 right now.

    Firestone Ride Rite - inflating questions.

    Awesome! Bike pump it is. Is that also how you inflate them once the camper is on? Or do I need something a bit more substantial to get it from the 5-10psi to the much higher psi?

    Firestone Ride Rite - inflating questions.

    Hey so I just got a new 2019 Tacoma and have done a complete overhaul on the suspension including ride rites in the back. Right now I just have the manual version and am curious about the best method for keeping air in them over the summer while we travel. I've read a cheap bike pump is one...

    Suspension Recommendation for 2021 Tacoma w/ Fleet?

    Suspension Recommendation for 2021 Tacoma w/ Fleet?

    I'm trading in my 2010 Tacoma and upgrading to a 2021 Tacoma 4 door. I currently just have a custom spring pack on my 2010 which has been fine but makes the ride a bit rough when the campers off and we are off road. Any suggestions that aren't very complicated while doing a good job with the...

    New battery question

    So if I have the power off my battery won’t charge while driving? I never knew that. Took it to an autozone and even after charging it still didn’t test as charged. Had to buy a new one and learn a hefty lesson.

    New battery question

    Well it’s a 2018 Battery. We bought our fleet new and only used it last summer. With covid we didn’t travel this summer and so it has sat since last July (I imagine just pulling charge the whole time?) So since it’s only 2 years old I’m curious if it can be charged or if I’m better off...

    New battery question

    And I guess my other question is: can this one be recharged ?

    New battery question

    Hopefully this isn’t a super redundant question but we’re in a pinch so wanted to ask some specifics. Made the mistake of not doing anything with our battery during the 16mo we haven’t used the camper. Just set off on a week trip and it’s dead and won’t charge. Can I buy a regular deep...

    Camper Insurance

    Have a 2017 Fleet that is off the truck half the year. Starting to think about all the things that could happen to it while it sits in the driveway (trees falling, etc). Starting to look into insurance. Anything I should consider? Thanks!
