Stupid FWC Questions...

[GaryMc]

So I pick up my FWC Eagle next Monday in Reno and have been staring at FWC photos endlessly and realized that I had no idea what the little door on the left rear side of the campers is for. You know, the one just to the oeft of the rear door... Anyone?

My fridge will run off the battery while I'm driving, right?


Feel free to add you own Stupid FWC questions to this thread.

20 gallon propane tank on my old one (mine was a Grandby, so maybe different on the Eagle).

I think I know what one you mean. It's where the furnace goes. If you don't have a furnace it's a storage space.

Finch FWC...not mine

Bingo, that's the one I meant. Thanks!

Depends... Did you get the auxillary battery, stored inside the camper? If not, you can run it off your truck battery if wired to do so.


Gettin' anxious?

I am not especially fond of running my refer of 12v. It works, but not especially well and it draws enough juice that my house (camper) battery does not seem to charge.

I prefer to run the refer on propane. But, without this re-lighter mod I found the darn thing wouldn't stay lit. Re-lighter mod installed, the refer is easier to get going and guaranteed to stay on.

I concur it is a storage door or furnace exhaust door depending on options.

I did order it with the aux. batt.! Anxious? Me? Yes! It's a helluva lot of money to throw at a hopped up tent!
Thanks, guys, for the help and for dealing with my inevetible future querys.

So, I pick it up in Reno on the 26th and would like a nice in NV to spend the night on the way home. I am utterly unfamiliar with Nevada, any suggestions?

You taking the loneliest road home? Two things to know about Nevada -

1. Gas, gas, gas. Top off often.
2. It's going to be really cold and probably windy.


Good ideas here -

That's the plan.... I'm tired of cold. Ugh. Grassyass for the link!

Will the stupid questions ever end?
How much room is there between the roof and the cabover bed when the roof is down? Enough for a couple of rolled out sleeping bags?

What size disco ball do you think would work best in the Eagle model?
