  1. I've tried unplugging the battery. No change. I guess I'll have to try Forscan. Is the module attached right to the back of the screen? Hope not. I think I threw the old one away.
  2. I own a 2016 Titanium. My 4.2" display died. Replaced it with one with the same model #. But now my sync with bluetooth doesn't show up as an option for connecting. My steering buttons no longer work with the radio. Is there a system config I can do with Forscan to fix this or will it have to brought to a dealer? Or is the module I bought somehow different?
  3. After looking at as many forums and websites as I could, I decided to use one of our 10x14 tents we're not using anymore and convert it to work with the Titanium. It's not perfect, but the price was right. Cut one side of the down the middle of the screen. Put the fly over the liftgate. After using it one night we rehooked the fly to go under the liftgate. Much tighter fit using magnets to hold it in place.
  4. First 3 pics. Step 4A. Building the bed. This is the stationary portion of the bed. Made of 2x3s with a piece of formica underneath so the pull out slats don't drop to the storage area underneath the bed. Wood is stained with Minwax slate grey. Has a bluish tint that I really like. Gonna keep the floors the way they are. Bought the birch prefinished. Factory did a better job than I could. Storage underneath is 16" height. The left and right sides that hold the bed up are made of pine 1x2s and 1x3s. Built like cabinet front frames and screwed in from the bottom of the 1/2" birch floor. Step 4B. Next 7 pics are the completed slat bed. I built 2 bed stands to hold the front of the bed up. The front seats are moved as far forward as possible and tilted forward as well. This extra room was critical for making the bed long enough for me and still have room for the kitchen and porta potty in the back of the van. I used 1/4" carriage bolts to hold the front of the bed slats to the stands with another one in the permanent side to make sure the slats don't slide backwards away from the front seats.
  5. Hi everyone. New to the forum. Wish I'd found this before i built my camper. There's some great ideas here. My wife, Darlene, and I have been traveling by motorcycle with a sidecar pulling a small tent trailer. We live in Tucson, AZ and now that we're pushing the 70 mark we'd like to ride with some more comfort, like air conditioning! We have owned a motorhome, tent trailer, pop up trailers in the past but have used the bike exclusively for the past 10 years. Since this was supposed to be an upgrade from the sidecar/tent trailer, there were mandatory requirements for the camper build. Air conditioning. We do live in Arizona. A porta potty usable with the camper completely closed up. The biggest bed we could build. I'm over 6 foot. And we wanted a vehicle that was good on gas and We found the 2016 Titanium in Phoenix. It's a restored salvage title so about half the price of others we looked at. Nice to have heated leather seats, air, cruise, back up camera, etc. Not knowing how much we're going to like downsizing our living space (our tent trailer only weighs 325 lbs empty but opened is 6 feet across, 7 feet tall, 12 feet long with a king bed and a 6x6 dressing area with 26 cubic feet of storage) we left as much of the van's interior intact in case we want to remove the camper stuff and make it the 6 passenger van again. Here's the first pics. Used 1/2" birch finished plywood for the floor.
