    A POP UP YOU'VE NEVER SEEN- The FERNWEH MOBIL

    IT'S FINALLY HERE! We went picked up our new camper this weekend! Here is the finished product inside with the top down, lots of room. We spent the weekend tinkering and organizing things. Installed a fire extinguisher in the camper and an Ipod compatible radio in the truck dash.

    First camper:

    Ryst, I too have a 2000 F150 and am working on a camper setup. For my wife and I it seemed the best option for us regarding a comprimise of size, space and versatility. We found one with 60k miles in Fla. Awhile back I posted a question about modding the suspension a bit to ensure the truck...

    UCE3 - Utah Cruiser Expedition 3

    Box, it does motivate us hugely. That's why we're here. Thanks for taking the time to share. Sadly the rudeness can't be ignored, but for the rest of us, the inspiration outweighs it...

    F150 Flatbed Overlander Build

    Build Update Pics Ok, so the truck got here a couple weeks ago, so I've had a little time to ge to know it, do a few mods and generally tinker with it. Buying a vehicle from thousands of miles away is, for me, always a bit worrisome in that it's so easy to get screwed. And I have been before...

    BUILD UPDATE - NEARING COMPLETION Ok it's nearing completion and starting to look like something we can comfortably live in. Kind of exciting ( with the small downer of realizing the time is drawing near to shell out the greenbacks to qualify as the owner...) The upholstery is done and this is...

    A POP UP YOU'VE NEVER SEEN- The FERNWEH MOBIL

    Thanks Newt. The insulation- to use very laymans terms, because I don't know any better...- it is rubberized foam. Something kind of strong like you might use for a shop floor mat. It's probably around 3/8 to 1/2 in thick. Glad to see they didn't use that flimsy poly styrene white stuff. They...

    Hi Brent, maybe I can answer your questions. 1- they do offer a fridge, and it does fit where you saw it in the pics. It is a chest style fridge, I don't know which brand. Personally, I don't plan on being on any camping trips of more than a week or so for probably the rest of this year, so I'm...
