Definitely a trailer mounted backwards. Probably because the front of the trailer is rounded, so it would not fit flush against the back of the cab. In the US campers and trailers have the doors on the other side, so when you open the door you are stepping off the road rather than into it...

I found Alert Bay an interesting place to visit; there is a good museum there. There is also a great campground on Johnstone Straight, just south of Tsitka River Park. It is 10 or so miles down some logging roads. We got sort of lost finding it. Awesome spot to camp though. Saw a couple of...

Moving the bathroom forward seems like a good idea. I have an XP Camper (now Nimbl) and one thing I really like about it is the open and airy feel of the inside. In the XP and Nimbl this is accomplished by having a fold down shower/toilet compartment. You might consider something like that...

Tanks, batteries, fridges and other heavy stuff in the overcab area would be a very bad idea. Too much weight too high. There is a reason pretty much every camper puts those things down low. But I get your point about the Sunraider; maybe the overhang would not be too bad. I It would be...

In addition to dogs, a lot of people use the back seat for storage; often you see the rear seat removed. Also, for the over-cab bed to be large enough for two, it more or less covers the entire Tacoma crew cab. If you built on a single cab, the camper bed would overhang the truck cab. In...

Still in Crested Butte? Cause I am there now. Maybe I can just happen to drive by and say "Gee Honey, look, a Defender for sale. We should check it out."

Damn, for a second there I thought this was a BMW re-powered ambo with a burrito maker installed. Which would have been a deal. As it is, it is still a nice looking truck.

I have never owned or used a cab over vehicle based camper, but it seems to me the "compactness" virtue of these campers is overstated. It is true that with a cab over you do not 5+ feet of engine sticking out in front of the driver, but because the cab over is so high, you cannot put the...

That is clever mocking up the layout on the garage floor. I agree with the suggestion above about a 3D mockup; esp for the bike bay. If the 2floor-to-under3bed height is just enough to get the handlebars under, and you have a lip at the door (seems like you would have to) then lifting the...

A central vac system sounds crazy. Until you travel with your 70 pound dog that sheds. A lot.

I am also looking forward to seeing this come together. The bike garage seems to be a tricky design issue; making it large enough for bikes, but still having headroom in the bed to sit up comfortably, while not making the total box too tall. Do you plan to have a slide out in the bike garage...

Very nice. Now get back to work; looks like you have a bunch of buckets of rocks to move.

I saw 5 Earthroamers in Vernal Utah earlier this week; three in the Walmart parking lot and two more heading that way. I would have expected the Walmart in Vernal to be so popular with the Earthroamer set.

Nice camper, and video. Who is in the XP in the early part of the vid?

The Webasto Dual Top is an air and water heater. It is also quite large; I would think it far too large for a Troopy. I think it may be hard to find a water-only heater. The heat source for the water will also heat air, so most manufacturers would go ahead and include the air heat function...

Does "all electric" mean the cabin and water heaters are electric? That seems like it could take a lot of amps in the winter. I have not driven an AWD Transit, but it seems like it would be a cost effective platform (relative to a 4wd conversion) with the capability to go almost anywhere most...

Sure. I will send you a message with my phone number to coordinate.

Monday morning bump for everyone surfing the web at work this morning. Spring is coming; time to go wheeling. Get some new wheels and tires for your rig.

$600 obo. Pro Comp Alloy Wheels and BFG AT KO2’s. For a Tacoma (and other vehicles) Like new. Pro Comp Allow (4Wheel Parts house brand) 16 inch wheels, with BF Goodrich 265/75/R16 tires. Shortly after buying these wheels and tires I bought a Ram3500 that served saw almost all of the truck...

Nice Ventana tandem.
