Great video!

I think your original questio is about the size? I too have an 8' and love it. Our awning was the first piece of kit that had a big impact on our trips... I suppose a 6' is better than nothing but you might be right in questioning the utility of the small footprint. Seem to recall a Howling...

Nice truck. We considered the same thing before we decided to go with a UTE aluminum bed. You've made the utility bed option look very good.

It can be done 100Acre - I have a 2000 F150 XL. With extended cab, autotrans it is rated at 1700lbs. I have seen several sources of info where payload, GAWR and GVWR don't quite match up, but 100 lbs or so, one way or the other won't matter IF you plan your build smartly and safely. I don't...

Some randomness of our FJ I sold earlier this year. Loved the truck, needed more room. An Alpine crossing we made in the FJ Build a truck your wife likes: Priceless...

Danehauler, this may be a dumb question but, what do you mean 'upgraded electrical system'?

I've been inside the Gazelle a few times at trade shows. Thought seriously about buying one. Decided on the Fernweh camper instead. The Gazelle looks good and has some nice design elements. In the end I think the Fernweh is better built, has better use of space, can sleep four, is more...

Congrats, looks good!

Hi Ben, your summary of my truck is accurate. I too would have liked to find a 7700 model. But when I saw this truck with 60,000 miles and in such good condition, I figured I better buy it. And a bit of mods have made it work well. To answer your questions: The rims are stock and the tires are...

Best I can tell, the difference between getting it here in Germany or in the States is about $1000 in cost of parts. But I'm finding it difficult to source a US vendor just searching the net. I'll pay the piper but don't want to throw money away if I can help it.

Woof, have you got any pics of your Airtab installation? I'm always interested to sqeeze another mpg out of my truck...

Great build, I'v often wondered about a pop up on a Burb or Expedition. And looks like you're doing a quality job on the total refurb.

Looks like a great setup to have a lot of fun with!

Hi Terra, thanks for the response. I may try the Bilstein 4600's next. The shocks probably should be replaced anyway. My camper isn't porpoising in relation to the truck so I don't need thecab struts, it's just the chassis porpoising some at 60mph on uneven stretches of highway. Something we can...

Hi Terra, I'm the guy with the Fernweh camper and F150... Wondering what is the status with your porpoising issue? And I've been re-reading some of your comments particularly about the Timbrens and Sumos. I've got the Timbrens in front and was surprised to see the chassis sits on them upon...

Hi wasp, I just saw your post with your tuck in Spain. Great pictures! I'm an American and live near Frankfurt Germany. I'm curious what info you might have about driving off road in France and Spain. I've driven offroad in France Alps near the Italian border and also in Lorraine region, also in...

You've had some nice trucks. And come to the same conclusion as my wife and I. We had a FJ Cruiser with RTT and loved it, then realized if we wanted to spend extensive amounts of time traveling we'd need more room. Good luck on your trip.

I'm looking for a vendor of small petrol forced air heaters. Like Webasto Airtop 2000, or Espar Airtronic B1LC. Anyone know where I can get one of these? Or something comparable. Not diesel.

Thanks Coastal! Every Mile - I got the underbed boxes from UTE when I bought the flatbed kit. They were stupid expensive. So much so that the US dealer I was purchasing through tried to talk me out of them. I was too ignorant to know any better... I think you can probably get something just as...

Found a little hole in the woods of France to lay our head while exploring WW1 sites recently.
