Cool Rig! Love the red. No one ever chooses that. Looks great. I linked it to Wander the West. Good luck!

Noob question, but where do you sell them and who buys them?

Well no thermostat is a deal killer. Both of us are pretty temp sensitive, preferring to sleep cool, but not freeze. The perfect combo is something like a gas Webasto or Espar if they come into the US. Lower condensation, bigger pool of fuel.

Id prefer to keep it, if we ever decide to sell, but have no place to put it. ?

Mine has Bilsteins, and it was an improvement over dead stockers. That said, I don’t know what I don’t know. I’d probably opt for better like you did. We too are on rough roads often, and 4WD-L not infrequently. Thanks!

Thanks! We don’t ever tow, nor do we plan to. I like the increased payload generally associated with lighter gas engines too. ??

Which shower do you use? Rinsekit? If so, how do you heat it? Also, can you leave the heater on while away? We pop the top, fire up the propane heater, go ski and come back for coffee in an hour? Did you get the pop top? Thanks!

The Kenai was my original “it” camper. It’s missing two significant things though, real outside shower an the potential for AC (which we’ve never had, but occasionally wish we did). It also requires a long bed. That said, I think it’s the one to beat. I have had the Raven deep into the teens...

maybe it’s a phone browser thing, but I don’t see any links. ?

I saw that. Cool build. More money than I want in though. I’m thinking proper off-road tires (Wildpeaks or Coopers), maybe oversized, but probably not (love to know why you did) and stock shocks until they wear out, then Bilsteins. What’s the reason for all the extra mods? I’m sort of...

My gut says F350, but there’s a F250 at the local dealer with a 7.3 and the 10,000 GVWR package. It already has a bed though. I have time to order with a bed delete, but the build and price program doesn’t seem to offer that. ?

That’s what my gut is telling me too. With the deck and storage, we can go shorter. Conflicted on camper too. We love our FWC, but they won’t customize configuration. ATC is great too, but as petty as it sounds, I hate the corrugated siding. Maybe a Scout? Lance? Conflicted! ? Then there’s...

My half ton Chevy is fun and gets us a lot of places. It has stock suspension save for a Helwig helper leaf and Bilsteins. We’re bumping up to and occasionally exceeding the weight limit though and still want extra amenities. Now we’re considering building a new rig. It would most likely carry a...

I'm ditching that in favor of a expanded PVC counter with a Formica laminated top.

So true!

Probably a good idea if we really felt at risk. There's really only one place that I sort of feel the potential for that, entering the park out of Zurich. The tough thing is that we would only go into the park in the winter and I wouldn't want to trailer in the snow.

Killed an entire day, but didn't kill an entire family. No quads, no dirt bikes. Therein lies my paranoia.

I think the odds of needing two spares is pretty remote. In isolated places like the north entrance into DVNP for example though, where there’s no cell service, it gives me piece of mind. We do carry a compressor (which we use regularly) and a patch kit (I can’t say I have high confidence in my...

The truck is rated 7000/3950/3950 total/front/rear. Mostly unloaded we are at 6850/3400/3450. The LT Wildpeaks are rated well over either axle weight at the pressures we run (40 front, 45 rear). I packed it to the gills today assuming absolute worst case scenario, a winter trip to DVNP...

Not that the Maine law applies anywhere else, but they do classify infractions up to 500lbs over on two axle vehicles as “minor” and waive any penalty.
