Doc's AT FlipPac Build Thread

[Overland Hadley]

I've only been trying the same thing for a month... but I can already tell, I'm gonna lose this one.

She would rather sleep on the ground? Even so it can be a hard sell to some.

She would rather go glamping, or let me go my myself... My truck is my mobile man cave.

So true...so true.

Glamping! I love it!

TacoDoc,

Great build, takes a long time to get through, but worth it!

Doc, did you ever get that Helton installed? Im really curious as to how you set up the coolant plumbing on your Taco.

 

[Dave Bennett]

On the list but still back burner... I'll get to it soon I hope

The FlipPac is four years old now and has seen quite a few trips as of December 2013.

She still gets the job done and was my happy home at the 2013 SoCal Mountain Rendezvous

Doc,

Great truck and thanks for the continued updates on its progress! I am in the market for an AT Flippac for a new Ford Superduty truck. I am debating on whether or not to get side windows or leave them solid like yours. I like the solid idea for looks and security, but the windows would add a level of ventilation I guess. Do you have any problems with a lack on ventilation in your Flippac? Just looking for some general ideas to help in my decision. My flippac will be black in color and I am thinking on going with the solid route over the windows.

Thanks and again, sweet Taco!

Kevin

You do NOT need windows for ventilation. The Flippac is extremely "Airy". If you get the sliding front window you can have a lower air source even when "buttoned up". But the six mesh windows and the mesh strip down the middle provide TONS of ventilation. I went windowless and love it.

Thanks JR_Explorer. That makes sense to me. I want to keep it simple and secure.

Here's a pic from our most recent trip, February 2014 at Saline Valley. The FP is still working great almost 5 years after purchase!
