    New FWC Swift Shell Questions

    Have you attached things like the d-rings or footman loops to the floor? If you did, was it just a standard wood screw that you used? Also what size of screw did you use? -George

    New FWC Swift Shell Questions

    That's other location I'm looking at, but with the Swift my 45l fridge takes up almost the entire side. The debate is to put it up there and build a storage under the cab window or have the fridge under the cab window and use that whole side for storage. As I asked the person that mentioned they...

    New FWC Swift Shell Questions

    Thanks a ton for the photos. That's where I have been landing on keeping the fridge permanently and never thought of the rotopax behind the fridge. For the Swift Shell that seems to be the best spot for it, but I'm not going to make anything permenant for a bit. With that is your fridge...

    Mule Expedition Outfitters accessory brackets do not fit Four Wheel Camper

    @ramblinChet what spacers did you use? I have the left side bracket coming at some point this week and just noticed this thread. I assume I'm going to have the same issue since that is the side with the solar plug. The right side was on back order and they didn't know when the next order was...

    New FWC Swift Shell Questions

    Hello, I have a new Swift Shell I picked up on Thursday last week after waiting 18 months. I'm super pumped to start using it, but have some questions from folks that have a shell and have done some additions to the interiors. 1) Fridge - I ordered an Iceco 12v fridge that is going in one of...

    Ride Rite Fittings

    I assume this part of the forum will have more Ride Rite airbag users for my question. The question, are the steel outer and plastic inner fittings on the airbag side way more fragile than the all brass fittings? I have the reason I'm asking in the TLDR section below. So I have a set of the...

    Suspension Airbag Controller

    That Linx setup looks really nice and not mondo expensive like I have found with other controllers. Some of the more fancy ones in my google searching were like $3k (I assume that is a lot more than just a controller). I was originally ruling out the phone app options because if something...

    Suspension Airbag Controller

    That' something I'm looking at for an option, and really close but not exactly it. The one I saw worked with an ARB compressor and I'm not sure if that if that air lift controller does. Thanks for the reply, do you have experience with the airlifts? My original plan for the ARB was to mount it...

    Suspension Airbag Controller

    Hey, I have a FWC Swift that has been on order for a while (placed last June) and at the end of this year/early next year it should finally be ready, so I'm starting to get things ready. The plan is to use airbags to help the suspension in the back. In my research last summer I came across...

    Gaia GPS and the National Parks layer

    Thanks for the replies. I am not using it with CarPlay, my truck doesn't have it but I wish it did. The issue is if I zoom out to see the map at whatever level as zoom is usable as soon as a I start driving it zooms back in. It zooms in to the point where the text for the map overlay is bigger...

    Gaia GPS and the National Parks layer

    Hello, I am somewhat new to Gaia and I haven't really found an answer to this question so I'm hoping someone on here can help. When I use Gaia's National Parks layer while driving the map zooms in so far it's not usable. It's fine hiking but driving it's not useable at all. We are planning some...
