Well I''m back....and after buying a truck camper, selling it, then buying a travel trailer, I'm back to the concept of rolling my own hard side truck camper. Specs are as follows.... Under 8 feet long, 7 feet wide, and under 5'6" tall (only to keep it simple and tree branch clearance issues)...

I've been reading the forums and looking into a new bike to use as a daily rider / expo bike. So far I've looked at several bikes out there, and for some reason I keep coming back to the Royal Enfield C5 Military. 499cc Air cooled single cylinder engine, 5 speed transmission, and the new ones...

Curious if anyone is using a scooter as an Expo Vehicle. I know it's not really in the class of a Dual Sport, but curious if anyone has considered it? Currently I'm rebuilding a 2006 Meitian MT50QT-2 50cc Scooter with an 82cc Big Bore Kit for commuting and short rides but why not consider it...

what would you have for flies in it? Reason I ask is that often I go through my guide pack and pull out 2 or 3 boxes of flies and my rod and leave the rest in my truck while fishing for the 15 to 20 minutes I found I could get during the day between appointments and other things. But carrying 2...

Was googling "slip in truck body" and came across a couple of ideas. First was to take a slip in unit from Johnson Truck Bodies http://www.johnsontruckbodies.com/products/slide_ins.asp It's already insulated and pretty much ready to go, just need to made a door modification to allow it to...

I was looking at an A.R.E. Truck Cap that had the full size door on the back and the smaller passenger door inside on the back of a Dodge Ram pickup. Then I was looking at the AT Flip Pac, and thinking how cool it would be to have the AT Flip Pac with the full door and the smaller passenger...

Hello to the forum, I'm currently looking into either a dual sport bike that I can run both on the street and off road or a Rattler 110 scooter. main purpose is just to get away for the afternoon, ride out to some prime fly fishing spots I know of, in which I can get within a mile or two with...

Anyone have a Norcold 12V fridge mounted in their camper? Not talking the 3 way or portable cooler type units, but something on the lines of the DE-0041T. Reason I'm asking is I am working on a new truck camper build, and the info from Norcold doesn't say if it needs outside ventilation, unlike...

Howdy all. Still working on reworking the blueprints from the 1955 Popular Mechanics Encyclopedia Truck Camper Plans. Unfortunately I hit a snag, mainly on the LP Cabinet or Storage. A couple things to point out first before I get to the propane. First, The camper dimensions are 7' Wide, 8'...

Hello again, I've been racking my brains trying to figure this one out. I swapped out the factory P255/70R16 tires on my 2002 GMC Sierra 1500 for the LT265/75R16E Grabber AT2 by General because I have a slide in camper and need the load rating. When they put the tires on the tire guy said that...

Howdy all, I'm looking for your recommendation on a refrigerator to replace the Ice Box in my Camper. I put the ice box in to replace an old Dometic 2301 LP / 110 AC refrigerator that the cooling pack rotted away after 19 years. But now after 1 year of use, I'm sick of running to get ice every...

Howdy all, I've been reading a lot of posts on this board since I found out about it a few months back. This is going to get long winded but will bring everyone up to speed on the issue at hand. I'm currently working on a small slide in truck camper for weekend fishing trips, the plans came...

Hello to the group, I've been reading the posts and trying to decide on my next vehicle / camper move. I'm torn between renovating my 20 year old Sunline truck camper (pretty much needs way too much plywood and panelling due to dry rot), building a new truck camper for my 1/2 ton truck (easier...

Howdy all, I'm just curious as to how many of you explore and camp with a 2WD rig? Reason I'm asking this is my truck is 2wd, I use it to get into some pretty tough areas, and haul a small truck camper on the back. I do have access to my girlfriend's Explorer XLT which is 4WD, but we tend to...
