What are "bi-fuels"? Pardon the ignorance.

I have been looking at those too, will check one out in person today. I worry about the heat and cold issue with them though. i guess now for 2014 they offer heated tanks, and come with a cassette toilet option. I really wish they would use those Dometic acrylic windows like they do in their...

I think a pop up definitely has some pros to it. Weight and lower CG being two. The problem is I will be using this for more than just to go camping. If I was just going camping with it I would probably get a pop up. I will be using it to live out of 2 nights a week at the Hospital in Wyoming...

I still am unsure about the Northstar rubber roof vs. a TPO like the lance, everything else about the northernstar I like beside the fact that the interior could use an update, but I suppose I am not that picky about that aspect of them. I have a built auto in the Dodge, it works, and is...

Yes, I have seriously considered a Hallmark. The drawbacks I see to it are the soft sides, I know they are well built but the soft sides concern me with travel to central america and Mexico. They seem less secure and any time I left the camper I would have to leave the dog in the camper with...

I also am looking for a camper that will hold up to heat and cold. You can see my thread that I started where I weight the various pros and cons to a few different brands I have researched. My top two are probably either Northern lite, or Northstar. I also have a dodge diesel with 315 75...

I am looking for opinions, advice or suggestions about either of these brands of truck campers. I can not seem to come up with a decision about which one would suit my needs best. The vehicle is a 1997 Dodge Cummins long bed 3/4 ton. Here are my needs. Room for 2 people plus one 130 lb...

You can buy the chinese knockoffs on ebay for 300. I was curious about how well they would do on a single rear wheel dodge cummins. I think they are 10 inches wide? 36.1 inches tall. 285 75 r 18 toyo mts. seem like a pretty good options as well load range E 4080 lbs.

You can get the Chinese knock offs on ebay for a decent price. I think they might measure out actually to 10 inches wide, not far off from a 285 75 18 toyo mt.

Anyone have any experience with these tires? I saw some on 1st gen Cummins dually that Redthies posted a picture of. They look like they could be a great tall and skinny tire for a full size truck. I believe they are 36.1 inches tall and 9 inches wide. Maybe too narrow?

I went through the same thing, still debate the pros and cons of both in my head. Ultimately, a truck camper wins out over a travel trailer simply due to the fact that my intentions are to travel south of the border and a trailer would be a major pain in the *** south of the USA. I believe in...

What are your plans as far as sleeping? Sounds like you would need a big *** camper.

x2 on the lift and the dub's

"The main reason I don't own one yet is the lack of 4 season insulation options. Our primary use would be in the mountains in the winter, but that's not been something they seem to want to go after yet. " That has been my same thought. I really wish they would branch out into the 4 season for...

Elmo, you have a nice trailer! I am thinking about something like that, with maybe an extended tongue to mount a small motorcycle on the front. I keep going back and forth between a cargo trailer conversion and an already built Livin lite trailer.

I am in the planning stages of converting a 7x12 cargo trailer for "soft road" travel. I am not looking to build something to that will handle the Rubicon, but rather a livable trailer that will stand up to abuse and the heat of Baja for surfing trips, but also the cold of Wyoming. I am curious...

Enjoying the write up. I saw you driving on I 70 just before Denver a few weeks back. That's the second XP I have seen on the road, hope to see more.

Buy a 2013 Cummins and you can get the Aisen transmission.

I hauled close to 300 gallons WVO from the states all the way down to Costa Rica and had enough to get back in 12 valve cummins. Yes it was too much weight, and a pain in the butt, and yes I got hassled many times, in El Salvador they gave me 24 hours to leave the country, not sure if that was...

For some reason I am not able to see any the pictures you have posted for this build, except for the ones on this page. I have same problem on tntt.com website. Love the build and would love to view these images. Any chance you can put them up on photobucket or something else? Maybe it's my...
