Had similar issues. Started looking at tacoma/fwc so it would fit in my garage. Moved to the tc650 because of the hominess (less utilitarian than the fwc). Hoped to fit the Northstar on a 1500. Ended up going up to a RAM 3500/TC650. Torklift tie-downs, happijacks, torklift glow-steps...

I read somewhere on this site that Home Depot (or similar store) sells insulated panels that fit perfectly in the window straps. If I find the post, I'll post the link. I looked on Home Depot's site and these panels look similar to what the E.P. post showed...

I got one of these. Incredibly sturdy, collapsible, and toss the mess. https://www.amazon.com/Black-Pine-Sports-Toilet-Camouflage/dp/B00O2U7QQU/ref=sr_1_22?ie=UTF8&qid=1484681481&sr=8-22-spons&keywords=portable+folding+toilet&psc=1

Things I'd have done differently: gotten my steps when I ordered the camper and not listened to the salesman when he said "ah, you can get those later." Caused a lot of re-work with camera positioning, etc. Got the 5-step Torklift 8" glowsteps. Love! Hacked a mounting on the hitch to prevent...

Ok thanks. That would be great (pics of bike rack). My current one would be in the way.

nice pics, mfsr. What kind of steps did you put on? Do they cover the license plate, or do you remove them each time?

Got the camera. Was going to get steps next (torklift glow steps) but they hide the license plate and camera) found these. Thought I'd share in case anyone else has same problem. http://www.etrailer.com/Truck-Bed-Accessories/Brophy/RHS2.html

Sold on the dodge parts! Thanks coguzzi

Coguzzi: I was looking at license plate mounted wireless cameras. They look easy to mount, but probably easy to steal.

Thanks, Ozarker. I'll check it out.

Thanks Doctorit. I think you might be a little more handy than I am. I'm just glad to hear it can be done (by a camping place not me lol).

Thanks guys. I actually have two truck cameras, one for the bed contents (located in Cyclopes light, helps with backing into camper) and the tailgate one. I just had the tailgate removed so nothing to assist while backing up with camper in place. The tie downs are there, I just removed them to...

Got the camper yesterday. Love it. Now I need a backup camera that ties into the existing monitor in the truck. Has anyone done this?

Thanks ripperj and FlyTime. I am really, really happy with it and appreciate all the advice from everyone to get to this point. I'm confident that I have something that will support my camper. And I LOVE the look of it.
