I have a 2012 and the access doors are hinged with positive closing hinges.

The short answer is yes. I have a 95W solar panel on the roof of my camper with a 30A Renogy controller. It's connected to two deep cycle AGM batteries all the time. The batteries are 3 1/2 years old now and no issues.

Looks like they're made for ATV's and not for anything heavy.

X2, wear what you like.

We have a pop-up truck camper with stove, sink, & fridge. Most of our cooking is still done outside. It's nice to have the stove for morning coffee and to boil water for pasta, mac & cheese, rice, etc., stuff that doesn't smell. We will cook inside if the weather is really bad but that hasn't...

Don't know about RAM, but Chevy and Ford rate their HD truck for camper. For example I have a Chevy 3500 HD with a 4200 lb payload and it's rated by GM/Chevy to carry a 3,158 lb camper as long as the CG falls basically over the rear wheels. My truck has a sticker in the glove box stating...

First, stop looking at 3/4 ton trucks and go directly to the 1 ton. I have a newer crew cab Chevy 3500 HD. Its payload is 4,200 lbs but it's rated carry at 3,158 lb camper by GM. As others have stated, the weight of hard-side campers wet and loaded with gear goes up pretty fast.

Not commenting on the anti-theft features, but we have friends the live on the Cape east of Cabo de San Jose and they have always had Troopers as well as a 4x4 van and run them without mods even stock tires. As far recovery gear, all I'd get is a kinetic rope or strap, some sand boards like...

He loves looking for fossils and rock hounding. He found a fossilized segmented worm north of the Palo Verde Wilderness.

You can find almost any routine repair you want on YouTube.

I was going to use my old 1/2 until I found out my payload was 1,300 lbs after putting it on a scale. My suggestion would be to get another truck especially if you want to tow while carrying in a camper. Others will tell you to mode this and mode that but the right way is to get a truck built...

Your post says you're moving up from tent camping. The FWC can be ventilated as well if not better than a tent.

You could do it using Trimble Outdoors either with a Garmin upload or GPX file import. My guess is then you would need Trimble Outdoors My Topo Map Pro on your iPad.

Someone else will have to answer this but assuming it's bolted through the camper floor to the bed much like the original FWC were mounted.

They changed to a coated plywood called Skid-Guard. This is from there website: "This new plywood is excellent quality and the outer laminate layers give the wood maximum protection (compared to a coat of paint). This plywood is sometimes referred to as Skid-Guard material, and is used in the...

Why not just do something like a solar suitcase with built-in solar controller and be done with it? http://www.renogy-store.com/Renogy-100W-12V-Mono-Portable-Solar-Suitcase-p/kit-stcs100d.htm

9 is long in the tooth? Our 11 and 13 year old dogs still travel dirt roads with us. The 13 year old prefers lounging around camp to serious exploring but the 11 year old is still curious.

This is what I was taught in Navy survival school. I sleep with as little as possible between me and my sleeping bag and stay plenty warm. We were camped over this past Christmas and New Years and one night my feet were cold. Didn't take my socks off that night. Sleep barefoot the rest of...

My Silverado has 2x 125 amp alternators. This is the factory set up for a vehicle equipped to two a large RV.
