Why the fixation with ARB when there are several better compressors out there? I've witnessed more than one fail which is why I always recommend Extreme Outback.

First time for me in a decade and see no need to go back for awhile. It's massive with many, many duplicate products and the prices for gear and vehicles IMHO is getting out of hand. The featured truck build with camper costs north of $200k. And if anyone who organizes this is reading this...

Received today. They arrived in great shape,

State Farm insures my flatbed through a rider.

One note -- on the Jackery V2 I own, solar input is on the side and not the back. There are no inputs on the back of mine. That said, the front is preferable. And the low weight of the Jackery compared with the others was a big selling point, especially if mounted in a vehicle.

Thats a beautiful truck. If you have the time, there is a 4x4 show at Buck Hill on 6/28 -- it's free and you might have some luck there. https://ticketspotapp.com/e/95js1

On my FWC, I hit a tree branch I didn't see and it crushed the passenger front corner, doing pretty significant damage to the aluminum frame as well as the outer skin. The repair required finding someone who could strip off the skin and replace the aluminum frame members. I was surprised to...

You had me at "wench". GLWS - nice rig.

I've owned both -- a FWC and the Bundutec. The FWC had a corner damaged by a tree near the road and it was a nightmare trying to find someone who could repair the aluminum skeleton. Any damage to the wood frame in my Bundutec can be fixed much more easily. Is wood better than aluminum or...

On topic, does anyone have a recommendation for a decent indoor/outdoor monitor? They dont last long for me. I have the outside monitor attached to the front wall of my truck camper, in the gap between the camper and the truck.

yes. an Odyssey flat bed.

Correct. I've had mine since 2018 and put 120k miles and 350 nights in it. It's been from Tuk to Cabo, cross country multiple times and toured Nova Scotia and PEI. Never an issue other than the normal ones on something that bounces down the road. Check out their pricing -- one of the best...

Alaskan Campers have a couple of new interior options that don't look like a 70's basement. However, compared with my Bundutec, there is far less storage. For example, the bed in my camper lifts up exposing storage all the way to the front. I'm pretty sure Alaskan's dont.

He uses wood construction. I know many people prefer aluminum over wood but wood is easy to fix and doesn't transfer heat like metal. I'm not sure what you mean by seams. As with any RV, the sealant dries so I have resealed anywhere that needs it. Initially, I had a small leak in the roof...

Check out Bundutec (https://bundutecusa.com/). I have owned an Odyssey flatbed popup since 2018 and love it. They also allow a lot of customzation, something many other manufacturers do not
