Looks like you have a short bed taco. Would trading it for a long box be an option? Agree. Trade to a long bed if you want to stay with simple cap camping. Better yet, just find a used simple wedge camper like a GFC for your present truck.

Billy’s meetups are indeed awesomely entertaining and informative. So many neat rigs to tour. I regret missing this recent one. With this cold weather experience are/have you done any insulation to the windows? I recently ordered the insulation package for our Hawk windows from FWC...

Good morning dad!

I got a gift of a package of tea and it was just in time for some cool weather camping...which of course demands hot drinks! I'm not a coffee drinker but do love a warm cup of tea, especially by the campfire. The teas I received were packaged differently than what I normally use, and the...

You guys are on the verge of something wonderful! Happy travels... An Old Fart's Guide to Outfitting a Truck Camper. A couple of thoughts: Real sheets and a quality down comforter with a good wool blanket. I love the decoration (and function) these add to our camper. More temperature...

I wanted one. But the tariff charge (sale to US) was $60US. Another lump of coal from the orange guy.

I just want to say that thanks to the many fabulous EP contributors, my maps app has many "pins" that mark locations that I've learned about here on EP. Places I want to visit in the future, mixed among the places I've been to. You and this thread are included - thanks so much. This image...

WanderTheWest.com is a website. iOverland 2 does offer a free ride…but very limited functionality and only one area download at a time. We stepped up from simple “truck cap camping” to a pop up truck camper….what an upgrade. A great way to roam.

I’m not familiar with your route or destination area to help with specific recommendations. Check iOverlander & Wander the West as well as You Tube for destination information and ideas. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) & US Forest Service websites are a good resource. The Tonto NF...

I love our 12/120 volt compressor fridge. Keeps the fresh food fresh, the ice creme hard, the beer cold and can make ice. But I do tend to focus on easy ways to make a side dish, boost flavor or to simplify prep.

Another canned "add in" that kicks up a simple tomato-based dish up a notch: Rotel diced tomatoes and chilies. Several variations....mild to hot. Yea, I could do this from scratch as prep meal work...but out in the BLM, simple and easy works too.

Just as a pointer: WanderTheWest website has an Alaskan camper subforum.

”…therapy on all-terrain tires”. 😁

You’re getting it done. Nice build.
