    Rainy days and condensation

    I haven't had problems in our Hallmark popup, including camping in heavy rain on the Oregon coast in February. I do think inside/outside temp variation has a lot to do with it, similar temps means there's less of a cold surface to condense on. Type of construction has a lot to do with it to...

    Ram and Ford HD owners.....enter here.

    On my '12 F350, I had mounted my ARB Dual on top of the spare tire carrier, lots of room. If you mount it anywhere under the truck, extend the air intakes up to a cleaner area out of the way.

    Surface mounting cable tie bases to RTT

    Yes, some variety of latch duct, Panduit LD6 or a Wiremold variant. Either with no adhesive or remove what came on it and replace with VHB. Have done this on my camper and very secure after a few years. Plas you can open the latch duct to add or replace cables Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

    best onboard air system for tires, shower, accessories

    Actually shouldn't be tough to do a permanent install, not much different than the ARB. Just need to sort out a location/bracket and relay/switch set up. Plumbing is all the same. For the ViAirs, the H Series would be a better bet.

    2020 Ford F350 - XLT or Lariat / options guidance?

    My guess, while that camper could/would be considered cargo, it probably wouldn't be included in the weight calculation the city is concerned with. That being said, my guess is that the listed curb weight will exceed the 8K and they would have a problem just because of the truck itself. Having...

    2WD in Snow - Need advice

    What ever you decide to do, also carry a shovel, preferably full size handle. A little shovel work will help when you dig yourself in, chains, lockers, doesn't matter - you will dig yourself in.

    Hallmark rear storage bins option - anyone have it?

    Have them on mine, great addition to the camper. Keep all the tools and vehicle liquids, oils, etc in them, along with grill, basically the messy stuff. Typically carry a Honda 2000 in one side and can still fit other items in with it. As Brentos said, not watertight. I ended up drilling...

    Where do you guys buy tires?

    Discount Tire Direct has always been the best bet for me, usually no shipping, cheaper than any of the other on-line retailers, plus you can take them to a Discount Tire store and they will mount and balance for $19.95/ea as if you had bought them there.

    Yetti's 2007 Outfitter Apex project.

    Did the same thing, also dedicated wrenches for the propane fittings, all kept in a bag in the propane enclosure, easy to get to and doesn't get lost in the jumble of everything else.
