    JK/J8 Flippac rumor??

    I think having it optional to attach the back or the side is a great idea. That way you could put it wherever you wanted to be depending on where the sun was. I like my awning off the back of my truck for the kitchen and at night but during the day there are times it would be nice to have it off...

    Nissan Titan/FRP Flippac Build

    Two simple mods, our old Slumberjack mattresses fit perfectly on the FP mattress to give us a little extra cushion. Our mattress is getting old and so are we! My original idea of a net/hammock on the left side didn't work out so I modified it to fit under the FP hammock. So far it seems to...

    Any pop-up truck campers sleep 5 people?

    10 and 12 year old daughters here. They use a shovel or a Pett toilet if that's not acceptable. Either way it's outside, out of sight. The Flippac is just for sleeping, although we have all piled in to play cards before bed.

    Shower and toilet enclosure thread

    I think people get hung up on the convention of having a tray. I'm sure you're not using much water so you could just empty an action packer or whatever chuck box you use and stand in it to collect the 2-3 gallons of grey water you want to collect, then pour it into the can you emptied taking a...

    Any pop-up truck campers sleep 5 people?

    We've slept 2 adults and three kids easily, and that was just in the bed of the truck with the Flippac. We put two 6' folding tables on the bed rails and used the hammock for the third kid. This would work through about Jr. High but it is tight. Don't forget about the cab area of the truck. In...

    AT Fuel Can Holder

    This can holder fits Scepter MFC cans. I don't think it's ever been on a vehicle. I bought it used (with a can). I think it sat in his garage for a while, now it's been sitting in my garage. $80 shipped CONUS (I don't have a box so I'll just take it to UPS and have them do it.) $50 local pickup...

    Double Sleeping Bags

    We use a North Face Twin Peaks. It's a two person mummy bag so it packs much smaller than two big bags and it has less interior air space to keep warm. It is strictly a to person bag though, not two bags that zip together.

    Nissan Titan/FRP Flippac Build

    There are just not any good bumper options available for Titans. The only swing arm bumper had reviews that it would vibrate loose and fall apart. I had given up and made provisions to store the gas and propane inside the rig when a new vendor popped up who makes custom bumpers. As it turns out...

    Nissan Titan/FRP Flippac Build

    I dropped off Shruk at Outdoor Logic in Riverside today so I've got nothing to tinker on. I guess I could do some repairs on the house that I've ignored since I started working on the truck most weekends. Anyway, Jim and I had a good chat about what I wanted and he had some great ideas for it...

    eBay find: Scepter MFC Wrench!

    I just use a strap wrench. It works on MFCs, MWCs, and even stuck pickle jars. http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00945570000P

    Antenna Mounting with a FlipPac

    I've got a cheap magnet mount that I throw on the roof for the rare times I use the CB. You could easily attach an antenna via a piece of flat steel bolted between the shell and truck bed. I've got a cable and antenna for this setup but have never bother to buy or make a simple bracket because...

    Nissan Titan/FRP Flippac Build

    I originally wanted a Hannibal but it turned out to be unobtainium. That design did inspire mine. When the Eezi-Awn Spoyla awning came available it was perfect. It's as if it was made for the back of my truck and it extends 7' back which is cool. You are correct, it is super lightweight...

    Nissan Titan/FRP Flippac Build

    Awning Walls double as Shower Shelter Looking at options for shower shelters, a la Tacodoc's thread, and also wanting some panels to finish off the awning to provide some more shade and wind protection, I decided to combine both. I contacted the folks at SLO Sail and Canvas who made my rain...

    Composting Toilet — Report on 8 months full time usage

    Thanks for the info. This seems to be a curiosity out there but without much good info. You mention the solids and liquids having separate compartments. What happens with the toilet paper? Does it go down with the solids or is it handled separately?
