Thanks for this discussion, it's helpful and I agree with most of your assumptions. Does the APP for the e1500LFP from Pecron work via Bluetooth also? What do you think about the app?

What's been your experience with an F-250 as a camper platform?

Questions: (1) is the storage under the seat big enough for a portable toilet, like a wrappon ? (dimensions 15" wide, 20" deep, 16" high). How have you approached a toilet inside ? (2) what is the width and length of the seat when made into a bed ? thanks

Anyone have, or point to, a Kimbo custom build ? What was your general experience doing that - would you do it again ? I like the Kimbo concept but the interior doesn't work for me - I'd want to do that myself. Thanks

Thanks for the recommendations I think the soft pop-ups can work, but my main interest now is in a well insulated hard side

Thanks, I appreciate the thoughtful comments. Will take these into consideration. I would be focused on the West side of Washington and hopefully some of SWBC too ! I get your point that truck campers are more maneuverable and trailers have more storage - seems to match with what I'm seeing...

Thanks - I saw a youtube video recently of a truck camper setup and they had the battery pole saw - they were using it extensively! I'm getting the sense there are plenty of FSR that are pretty clear - enough to keep me busy.

No kidding on the ferry - price is triple for a truck + ~20 foot trailer, this is definitely a concern of mine - that's another reason why I started to look at campers. There is an "over height" penalty, but not as severe as "over length" - good point.

I appreciate you providing insight on your SpaceKap build and the details on the issues/problems you encountered with the Diablo. Definitely gives me pause as I was short listing a SpaceKap build as an option for me. Question - did you attach the extrusion cabinetry to anything ? or is it...

Thanks for the perspective. and your experience. I like the look of your setup - nice. What attracts me to a camper is : (1) Not towing - - towing isn't horrible but towing is a thing requiring constant attention (2) More compact vehicle - half the length of a vehicle + trailer, a trailer seems...

I need some basic comforts (stand up) and a bit of "hang out" space - so I've discarded truck toppers, roof top tents, cargo trailers, teardrop "bed only" trailers. I've picked out a truck camper (6.5 feet, 1300 lbs) and an off-road capable trailer (19 feet long, 4000 lbs) - I've got the truck...

This trailer was at Overland Expo Mountain West - see it in youtube video at the Expo Priced clearly at $55,000 - - pretty attention getting price (Lithium standard) I don't know about the tongue being too short issue, but I'm concerned about all the things that could go wrong - many moving...

The entry doors on the SpaceKap are nearly worth the price all on their own - awesome. However, it's a big leap to give up the built-in backup camera in the tailgate. How are you managing around that? Is the diesel heater feeding from the truck or is there a small separate tank? I assume the...

Yes, mods - agree! 😼 I'll include that on the next iteration.

Thanks for sharing. The post was meant to be humorous but with a kernel of truth. I imagine you've seen a large part of the country by now. Best of luck to you in the new trailer.
