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...

Wow! Thats the same stretch of road that busted the eye off my OME rear shock

I have C rated 31.5 tires and was aired down to 25. It was just to rough to tame with any setup probably. Maybe a trophy truck could get over 20mph w/o drama lol

It was then, couple small ice patches but mostly perfect weather and clear roads

I just did Death Valley a few weeks ago and took Steele Pass from the Dunes, then up Lippencott, then Hunter Pass, it was fine but like mentioned the Washboard at the top and bottom of Lippencott is more brutal than I've seen out there and I actually broke an OME rear shock eye clean off. I was...

I just put pillows against the lift boards and lean on em, doesn't seem to h urt anything unless I'm missing something....
