I have a F150 with a cap and want to put a 4 person RTT as well as 2 tandem kayaks on it. The cap itself obviously can't support that kind of load so I'm thinking of using a rack similar to this. My thought is to have the RTT in the middle of the rack while the kayaks are supported from the...

I'm building the the back of the truck out for my family to use an emergency shelter for the when the weather is to bad or a location doesn't present itself for a tent. We have a 4 and 5 y/o plus my wife and I. Our plan is for my 4 y/o to lay across the rear window near the cab and my son to...

Is there a way to run Gaia Maps with a MacBook? Heading to Vancouver Island on 6/10 and our iPad doesn't have near the storage to save the Island for off line use. With my MacBook I was planning on saving the island to card.

Does anyone know if this is true? I was looking around at a few F-150 builds and someone made a comment that this is currently is development for the 6.5' F-150. If so, this would be amazing!

I have a Leer shell and when the rear window is open, rain water drips into the bed of the truck. Since that will becoming part of my full time sleeping area, I need to somehow keep it dry. It looks like the piece that goes around the hinge needs to be longer to catch the water coming from the...

After much, like years, of dreaming, we've got our plan in motion for our next dream trip. We purchased a 2016 F-150 Screw cab with the 6.5" bed for the trip and now need to get our primary shelter purchased. What we need is something that sleeps 4, myself and my wife, plus our 2 children...

I'm looking for a canopy for my 2016 F150 with the 6.5' bed. I'm open to all styles and makes.

We've been going back and forth on what to get for our exploration rig for 2 years now. In that time we moved halfway around the world to a tiny island in the Pacific where Toyota's dominate the roads. After living here for 10 months I finally found something I could afford and wasn't...

Is it possible to mount a 200lb+ RTT over the cab of a Super Crew 150? I'm looking at a McKinley Extended Summit Series or a Kukenam XL Ruggedized. Not sure on how I feel about mounting it on a truck cap then having 650+lbs sleeping up there for 12+ weeks. Leer's max rating is 400lbs while...

I'm going to purchase either a McKinley Extended Summit Series from CVT or a Kukenam XL Ruggedized from Tepui. CVT lists their tents at 108lbs on their website. I assume this is a typo or very old information. Tepui lists their Kukenam XL Ruggedized at 210lbs w/out annex. I'm waiting to...

Has anyone seen the new Raptor and Power Wagon payload capacities? I'm trying to decide if I should wait till they are released or just go ahead and get a new F-150 now.

I'm thinking about using a Leer 180XL http://www.leer.com/180XL and a Mt. Jefferson RTT together. Is this possible with the raised height of the truck cap? What can I expect for MPG loss given the additional height of the setup? Will there be enough room to add an additional roof rack over...

My wife and I are about to place an order for a 2015 F-150 CC LB. Originally I was 100% sold on a 2015 Frontier. After a few conversations with my wife about it I could tell she wasn't thrilled about the Frontier. Since this was going to be her DD for the time being she really needed to be on...

After looking around and trying to read everything and reviewing the budget I've decided to come back to the Frontier. I had a 98 with over 250k on it and she ran flawless. Even after I totaled it hitting a deer she started right back up and I was able to get her home before she seized. I'm...

http://www.dodge.com/bodybuilder/2011/docs/ram/rammlup2500.pdf Anyone know why a PW has a payload capacity of 1780#'s with a base weight of 6730#'s and a non PW 2500 of the same size is 2550 with a base weight of 6246#'s? I assume it has to do with the suspension. I had myself talked into one...

My wife are in the market for a Northstar TC and a truck to load it in. I've had Jeeps and small import pick ups my entire life. This is my first foray into a full size truck. With that, I really know very little about them. We priced out a new 3500 WT and a F-350 and neither was realistic...

I'm looking into purchasing a TC for a upcoming extended trip we're going on. I really like the idea of a pop up TC to help w/ weight, MPG's, and general drivability. My wife's 1 request is that each of our kids (2/3) have their own beds. Is there a pop up TC that has a queen and 2 beds? I've...
