I would prefer no classic pop-ups, which are the obvious solution. Just casting about for as large a unit as possible that is low enough to fit a standard garage door (7 feet) and either under 22' or modifiable to be under (is folding tongue?). Built units welcome but not necessary. Also I'm...

I had the trailer serviced at Parker Trailers (inspection/bearing pack) in early December and then built the container out of pine and cedar panels, sealed with DAP dynaflex 800. The trailer tows fine and we put a little over 2000 miles on it with two different loads. Wheels and bearings were...

I bought a Sportsmobile trailer thinking it would be easy to get it out to me by December but everything has fallen through and now I'm stuck looking at shipping companies. The trailer is small (10lx6wx3.5h) and I'm guessing about 800lb. The shipping quotes are ridiculous, so I'm looking for...

My dad came out from Indiana with his new truck and it's the first time I've seen it. He's got a 2014 F350 Crew Cab long bed with a 1993 Viking Pop top slide in. The camper is 1,100lb and it should be a perfect setup for back-country camping and moderate offroad performance. The only problem...

Wanted to make sure trailer fiends don't miss this: Vintage, Offroad, Utility trailer. not M101, 105. - $1500 (castle rock) http://denver.craigslist.org/rvs/4637832830.html Not mine, No affiliation, more images in ad.

It's 1100lb dry weight, if you're talking about this one and it's a 93 chevy. to be fair it would be hard to say if any part of the truck is undamaged, but no- the bed stake pocket tiedowns have been more than fine, even with mild off-pavement driving- and everything that made the truck look...

So in looking at a 1/2 ton late model pickup for my dad, I keep collecting anecdotes about how the bed will bend, the bed will tear off, the stake pocket will tear out if you even think about using a stake pocket tiedown. But I can't find anyone it's actually happened to. Even online, it's...

Access cab brings it down to 1500 according to what I saw, and the dog is nearly 400lbs, so it probably all comes out even...

Oops, could someone move this to pop-up truck campers?

This is about the truck that goes under the camper, so I hope this is the appropriate forum. I'm a van guy and this is for my dad, so consider me clueless about Chevy and 1/2 tons and slide in truck campers! My dad is set on getting a late model 4x4 gas 1500 Chevy to go under his 80's viking...

That looks like Blackeye's old van, but the OP said it's like that rack, not that rack so I imagine it's not that van either.

Top open pictures? Gas struts? How does it open/close loaded vs unloaded? Also are there issues with importing to US? (that's for anyone)

Crazy, will you link your build thread here? I'd like to follow what happens with this shell. Also please make a build thread. :)

Can we get an over the tailgate or tailgate down shot of the inside? Is/was the floor steel or fiberglass? Pretty cool- any chance you know the weight also?
