    Anyone running a Tufport fiberglass camper cap?

    Tufport.com just seen these on YouTube, looks like a sweet full fiberglass walk-in contractor cap, mini cabover (not large enough to sleep in but some storage). Looks like a great unit to build with! I've never seen or heard of them before but I love the concept! Uses camper jacks to remove from...

    Post Pics of Your Hard Side Camper!

    I also have this gem, a 1973 Amerigo 11' with the Snap N Nap rear pop out bed! It needs a full blown restoration, I shouldn't have bought it but I couldn't resist saving it and the fiancé talked me into it (gotta love her!). I hate to tear into it until I have a roof over it because its gonna be...

    Post Pics of Your Hard Side Camper!

    1987 SunLite Hideaway 9.5' purchased in January 2013 just now got it out of storage (friends barn). I had to make adapters for the jacks to make them wider and taller to get it into my 96 Ram 3500 (Cummins of course). The camper needs minor plumbing repair, some electrical upgrades, and a new...

    Is this real?

    Oh ya I'm on my phone and for all I could see it was a underbody box Til you guys said tank then looked closer. Oh well it's still cool! The bus on tracks is pimp but maybe less practical overall? Guess that depends where you're using it at...

    Is this real?

    I assume this maybe has been posted before but found this pic online does anyone know if its real or photoshopped? I can tell that the image has been flipped, at least the RV part because the awning and side entry door is on the wrong side. So assuming probably photoshopped. I'm just thinking...

    Looks like i will have to keep my eyes open for a deal on an Edgestar :-) Chilliwak, Thanks! Drove the green machine to town last night and a guy came up to me and told me that the cap on it is his and its for his 07 dodge. He said well I'm gonna have to have a talk with my buddy for selling...

    Thank you for the info!!!! Chilliwak, Thanks for the warm welcome!! I wound up buying an 01 ram 1500 4x4 today for dirt cheap, was going to part out based on its description, but when I got there it looked better than that, needed a wheel hub unit bearing and had some body damage. Upon...

    Yea I came to appreciate the joys of portable ice free refrigeration when I had my travel trailer. Amazing!!! Yea for a cold drink ice is best, but for food, cannot beat a fridge! I already own an RV fridge :-) paid $150 for the slide in camper. Won't break my heart to part it out :-) or I...

    Found a aluminum contractor cap on Craigslist for my body style truck, white of course, it has nice ladder rack up top and locking side compartments, locking rear barn style doors, remove your tailgate completely. It is a few inches taller than the truck cab roof so some height to be gained and...

    Youch!!!! Just priced the fp430, that's hard to justify for my occasional use.... Well worth it in the long run but I would probably only go camping 6 times a year.

    Those sound pretty dang sweet! I've not been keeping up with 12V fridge tech and had no idea they had come that far! That's pretty awesome! I likely won't think the price is awesome but I shall go look one up now.... Also I like this, would be good to add a lil room and add convenience getting...

    You are correct, as far as my desired need fulfillments. The thing about the sleeper is, I don't think a replacement window can be had, and it offers a thin yet strong bed which is lower than the bed rails, but equal to bed rail height once a mattress is added, so you maximize the width (...

    Thanks, South/central Indiana (US). Yes, i have been pondering this situation since last summer actually... The truck camper needs a few other repairs but the roof being the main thing. It's just a lot of added work, bulk, weight and upkeep for something that will be used so little. The...
