Hi there! New to the forum—I don't own a FTC yet, but I'm looking at one this weekend that hopefully will be the one. I'm downsizing from an '89 Ford E-150 Club Wagon which I had converted into a camper van: I love this big rust bucket, but it's just not reliable enough (I've made good use of my AAA membership's towing). I also don't need quite as much space as I anticipated, as I rarely slept in the giant bed we built, and cooking inside is dangerous/hot. The primary purpose of my van is to haul my recreational sled team around: So the plan is to build out my FTC as a mini version of my old setup, minus the bed and desk. I plan to build a frame around the dog crates, but it will be much more minimal—mostly for storage. My hope is to use the second row of seating as a bed if I'm in a pinch and don't want to pitch a tent. (I'm a tiny human, so I think I'll manage with a sleeping pad and bag) I expect I'll mostly travel with the second row of seats folded up, so I was thinking I'd like to make or buy something to keep them covered (a lot of dirt and dog hair travels through the van). Does anyone have any suggestions/ideas?

Hey, thanks BSUPC I have one ordered. I appreciate the instructions too.

Remove the black plastic trim from under the passenger side wiper blade. You will find a compartment with a black plastic piece inside of it. You have to remove the black plastic piece and replace it with the filter. I used this Fram filter that I purchased from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/CF9118A-Fresh-Breeze-Filter-Hammer/dp/B001CEG9BC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1498127385&sr=8-1&keywords=CF9118A

That's interesting BSUPC, because I asked the dealer and they replied there wasn't one. I got off the crazy train at the last stop so I do not argue or challenge and just expect "blow offs" as a normal part of the day. Then I go about handling the issue in a rational way. Thanks for the tip

Trust but verify. Use the blindspot mirror. Trust your mirrors. Verify by looking over your shoulder. Objects in mirror may be closer than they appear.

I'm not referring to A.I. I'm talking about using the commands indicated in the instructions. I.E.: "Play Bluetooth audio" There are frequent occasions when I can repeat that three or four times, and Sync keeps responding..."blah blah, is that correct?" And no.....that's nowhere near what I was saying! And no, I do not have a speech impediment, and I enunciate quite clearly.....even when I'm shouting at the damned thing. I always shout in multiple directions because I have no idea where the mic is.
