Have you seen this thread? http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/120151-Tacoma-UTE-Four-Wheel-Camper-video Foster lives in it full time traveling up and down the west coast including Mexico surfing all over. He used to have a VW van spent 12k in repairs in one year. Now has a truck...

I saw on facebook that they are expecting another baby, so probably have to wait a bit for an update. I guess that would make it 2 Adults and 6 six Kids.

Would love to see some pictures of the Grandby flatbed model.

take some pictures of your baja trip, I really enjoy following your travels and pictures on facebook and instagram.

I would go Cummins with the 6 speed Aisen Trans.

Please post pictures once you get them mounted. I really want to see what this looks like.

I second not taking bikes unless they cheap beach cruisers. If they are expensive mountain bikes they will ripe for the taking by thieves and take up space.

The OP and his wife found the XP to be so much nicer than the other options, can't say I am surprised. Looking at a camper that costs 30k vs. 75K, I would hope the one that costs 75 thousand to be a whole lot nicer. When you have that kind of money to spend I see no reason to NOT get an XP, as...

I wouldn't bother with an aux. tank and "fuel polisher", it's going to be more work and hassle than it's worth. I also would skip the trailer unless you like pulling a trailer. Best bet is to keep it as stock as possible delete the emissions stuff and add a second or third fuel filter on the...

Is that for the both of you?

Thanks for the review. New Phoenix camper and it leaks, on top of that not covered under warranty. Have you thought about cutting your losses and purchasing a Hallmark or other brand?

I can see the benefit to being able to go two or more weeks without having to visit or find a dump station, the problem comes when the nearest dump station is 2000 miles away. I have not heard of many RV dump stations in Mexico. I know a lot of older people drive south in the winter time with...

Thanks for the tip, do you know any manufacturers that are open to this? Side note, I did find that FWC is no longer making hardsided campers per their announcement on the pop up camper section, however I found Northern lite does offer a cassette toilet option.

Which would be what? I have a few ideas why that might be the case, has to do with the crowd the RV manufactures market their "coaches" and "units" to.

FASS or AirDog IS the fuel pump. Some of them come with their own filter set up. I would also consider GDP mechanical lift pump. Like was said earlier, make sure you install a fuel pressure gauge and watch it. Low pressure kills the expensive VP injection pump.

X2! I couldn't agree more. I really like some of the qualities of the Northstar campers, (cassette toilet, narrower width, dometic acrylic pop out windows on the hard sided campers) but, after talking with Rex on the phone, he is a nice guy by the way, I got the impression they think pretty...

I don't think you mentioned your budget? Another option would be a 3rd gen Cummins. More room in the backseat.

Any update?

It's too bad NA RV manufactures don't use the wood/epoxy/glass building techniques like shachagra mentioned. I wonder if it's cost prohibitive?

Thanks, I forgot about FWC.
