I have been asked a few times to consolidate the pictures of my King Kamper in one thread so here ya be. This is just a sampling of pictures of either the King Kamper trailer layout or of camp set ups I have done around Arizona and NM. I'll update this thread with new pics as more trips are...

Updated - Sold and gone on 3/2/09 I have a trailer option that were designed for the Kimberley Kamper trailer that I don't use. The ATV carrier platform would be easy to bolt onto a home built trailer for carrying ATV or dirt bikes. I don't have much use for it and am just storing it. Maybe...

I have an 04 4Runner with a V8. I have heard you can drop an Odyssey 1700 battery in the stock primary location with only minor lengthening of the negative cable. The 13" width of the 1700 seems to be too wide for the stock battery tray. Has anyone here installed the 1700 in the stock...

Just installed the new QWIK Awning for the King Kamper. This light weight option stays attached to the main tent and folds away with it when packed up. To set up, just unfold the trailer and slip in the two support poles that attach back to the trailer for support. This is perfect for calm...

There have been many threads on similar subjects before but since technology marches on, I thought it would be appropriate to take a current look again. I want to upgrade from my current Sony DHC-H1 Cybershot camera to Canon DSLR. I am confused over the wide selection available. For you Canon...

This weekend I removed the original 4 battery 140Ah with 10Amp charger set up that came with my King Kamper. I installed 2 Deka 105AH AGM batteries with an upgraded 20 Amp Xantrex charger for a total of 210AH. The Xantrex came with a battery temp sensor and remote monitor panel. It was a...

Is there any place in the US you can obtain these Eutectic 73 liter Autofridges? I like the efficiency of the eutectic design that freezes the liquid in the fridge walls and only runs a couple hours in the AM and few more hours in the PM to keep things cold. The only distributors I have seen...

Kimberley came out with a new QWIK awning for the camping trailer this year. The new awning zips in place of the full canvas porch roof but only uses a couple 45 degree support poles back to the trailer and no ground poles required unless the wind kicks up. If it gets windy you just have to...

My son is still driving my 90 4Runner. The mounting plate in the inside firewall for the clutch pedal pivot is failing again. The design is flawed and the metal plate tears on the left side until it fails and you can't actuate the clutch anymore. I replaced this plate at about 100K and then...

I arrived for an 8 day stay. Mostly to just have fun and enjoy the backcountry before my other friends joined me to hunt Javelina for the last few days. Good freinds and good times. Here I am arriving by myself to set up my camp before an incoming winter storm arrived. I found out that...

What a riot! My friend sent me a link today to this website that has our 1987 Dusy Ershim Trail trip documented. I had no idea these pictures were still around. :wings: I look just a tad differnt back in 87. :xxrotflma That was the year when my first son was born and I was 32 years old...

Croz and I ran out to Chivo falls today. Had to break the Virgina boy in on some Arizona rocks. Actualy I dropped off an 18 inch step and hung up on my sliders and frame. Croz had to help me out with a high lift and rock piling recovery. Oh well, all part of the fun of wheeling. :wings: We...

OK, I'm stumped. I just noticed this on my 2004 4Runner. Never noticed it before and I just got the 50K service done last weekend with no problems found. Only under acceleration it pulls to left, hard enough you have to counter steer against it. The more you accelerate from a standing start, the...

My King Kamper tent has a stove jack for a wood burning stove for heat. Does anyone have any experience with wood burning stoves for heating a large wall tent (10X20 foot)? Any suggested stove designs or lessons learned? Here's an example of what I am thinking of...

When I heard there was a winter storm warning out for the mountains around Tucson, I took off for a one night adventure in Gardner Canyon. It turned out I only got off and on rain and a few snow showers early in the morning. The snow didn't even stick. Still a great time and a beautiful camping...

My wife took off to France for a couple weeks and needed a decent point and shoot digital camera. On short notice with minumal research, I bought her an Olympus SP-560 UZ. It's a 8.0 MP camera with an 18X optical zoom in a pretty small package for easy carry. I only got to play with it...

We have a local Jeep dealer that is going out of business and I am close to neediing another vehicle that will eventualy end up being for my daughter. It might be a good time for me to find a good deal. Of the Jeep models currently on the market what would you folks recommend if you were buying...

Yes! I just got this from Sierra Expeditions and it works great! The wireless unit transmits the temp of where ever the sending unit is and also the temp from inside the fridge. For me, my fridge is on a slide inside my King Kamper. The storage area has a fan ventilated enclosure so by...

We tried a new camp meal last night that was outstanding. Since my stove has a broiler on it, it worked great. I'm sure you could also get the same result in a DO. First poach Sea Bass and mushrooms in chicken broth and then set them in a broiler pan. Add corn startch, butter, seasonings, and...

Another Backroad KK Adventure. :wings: My wife and I went up old mining roads on the back side of the Catalina mountains for a quick one night camp. I wanted a remote enough place to be away from the Labor Day weekend crowds. This is up the road to Rice peak by Chain Tank. Once we got past...
