The Official Unofficial Super Pacific X1 Camper Thread

well that sounds better. I have no shark fin so that means I have a ton of room then.

 

I believe the shark fin is not mounted on the highest point, and is on the downward slope towards the bed - it might fit but could be close.

I believe based on the current dimensions, it is not recommended that you replace your bed rail caps.

 

def good advice there. We have a few 2nd gens about to get set up (hopefully). @Coop68 what year is yours? I have a 2013 but no sharkfin. They did not add it automatically until 2014.

 

I have 2014 with fin so this will be interesting. I need to talk with spencer. And or get measurements from the one thats been mounted already

 

Pretty sure the 2nd gens so far have been pre 2012 aka pre sharkfin.

1 is pre for sure. This one I think is a later 2nd gen by the taillights but not 100%

https://www.instagram.com/shaggy.cecala/ This would answer all of our 2nd gen SB questions. I think they joined the thread at one point. @ShaggyPA this yours? Taking a guess based on the name. =)

 

Quest for awning brackets begins, my Ironman 4x4 quick mounts do not fit!

 

Just confirmed my install date with Cindy for 12/21.

 

Can you JB weld that hole and drill a new one?
I guess making a slot without a machine/drill press is tough but maybe a dremel and some time.

 

Dremels are the wonderful duct tape of the hole-making world.

 

Yeah probably. I wasn’t super stoked on these quick mounts anyway, I’ll probably look for some reasonable options

 

Wired my 3rd brake light like this:

not my photo, but helped me out. My GFC previously only had two wires and was reversed from what I found online!

 

Wait, the Super Pacific guys didn’t wire up your light during install?

 

Nope they said it was on me

 

That’s weird. Do they wire the 12v power into the camper?

 

Nope...

 

Not all that weird to me, once wires are touched on a truck it’s a whole new world of liability. I’m glad they didn’t, so I can get the lay of the land as far as the wire chase and how I want my power wired in

 

FYI - those wire taps in that photo are called Posi-Tap. I highly recommend them. If you ever remove them, they just leave one tiny pierced hole in the wire that is easily closed up with a dab of liquid electrical tape or one pass of electrical tape from a roll.

I keep an assortment of Posi-* products in my toolbag on my motorcycle and truck.

Yeah I am a positap fan now for sure. Also looking for some low profile bus bars if anyone has any recs. Getting ready to do the lights inside my x-1

 

Do you want just +12V or +12V and ground? How many do you need?
