I personally use my side hatch constantly. I can put all my groceries away and access them as well without having to crawl into the truck. It's great for grabbing a cold beer as well since my fridge lives right inside the side hatch. I wish I would've gotten 2 honestly then I'd be able to fill...

For the reasons you mention about rain protection with a flip up hatch, I'm stoked I went that route on mine. I also run a 270 awning and if I had barn doors, the rain would come right into the camper with them open. I use a tailgate seal above my rear and side hatches too so I never worry about...

Thanks, it's pretty easy to find. I got it at Lowes

I ended up using 1/4 sanded finish grade plywood (I believe it's birch) and brushing on poly stain and calling it done, I like the look of natural wood and think it looks great. I used the stick on carpet for the upper 12 inches above the bed sliders since the bed slide is a tight fit.

True, they are also 1k plus dollars each for 100ah!

Are you going to put the batteries in the Cab or Camper? I opted to put my batteries and charging unit in the Cab for a few reasons. Saving all that space in the camper is a huge benefit and I only put my dog and gear in the cab behind my seats so the batteries go in the footwell and I made a...

Sounds frustrating especially after thinking it was sorted. I once had a clunk in my Tacoma after coincidentally replacing a few front end components and it had me chasing my tail since it would happen when the front end would hit any kind of bump. HOWEVER it turned out to NOT be in the front...

I recently installed a Velit gasoline heater in my rig that is tapped into the trucks fuel tank. Besides a couple hiccups with the unit which thankfully Velit was quick to support and help with it's been great. For anyone not familiar with these units, it looks identical to a diesel heater but...

Just got caught up on reading through this, very impressive sir!

I run a 31.5 on 15 inch rim. The smaller rim gives a decent amount of sidewall and when I air down to 25 you really feel the difference. I guess they bulge out as much as my last rig that ran e rated

I have a trifold 4' inch mattress and do the same thing. I have room for my bedding in the front as well. Top closes just fine

I have the Toyo OC AT3 as well in a C rating, good tires so far. I think an E rated tire is a bit overkill on these lighter camper setups for how much harsher they ride and the MPG penalty. My rig weighs about 5100-5300 lbs depending on what I'm doing. 1st gen Taco

The arctic pack makes a big difference in condensation and retaining heat fwiw.

I made an ammo can LP fire box on the cheap that works great. Had to strip / burn off the paint. Nice to have in Cali when the summers won't allow wood fires. For wood fires I like to use a "Pop up Pit" it's really light weight and folds up like a camp chair. 24' X 24 size. I can pick it up and...

I use a 5lb tank in my rig for cooking, never had a problem. I do turn it off when not using it and I use an LP / CO detector. I think the hype is likely overrated due to RV DOT Regulations, I mean it's just as much risk having an appliance and LP plumbing going into it inside the vehicle as...
