    more NEW from Phoenix Popup campers

    Terra Ops, if you are asking where the sat antenna is physically located, on my '12 2500 crew cab it's on the right rear part of the roof, near the edge, like Steve posted above.

    Darien Gap Crossing

    Pretty cool trip,but I don't get( and I used ride stand-up jet skis in huge pre hurricane waves and do some hard core mountain biking) the whole adrenaline junky- ride against oncoming bus/truck traffic and see how far we can push it thing. There are enough accidental ways to get your ticket...

    How are the posers supposed to hang those off their recovery points on their mall cruisers. Sent from my Z10 using Tapatalk 2

    Thanks, I'm going to give it a shot, is it pretty easy to work with and get a nice bead, did you use masking tape? Sent from my Z10 using Tapatalk 2

    Oh boy. -NOW a build thread

    OP- nice rig,can you elaborate on using 4000 to seal the butyl tape? Did you just remove the tape that squeezed out with a knife and run a bead along the edge? Any problems with it adhering ( sticking) I have another post where I am rebuilding my Alaskan with Butyl tape on the vents and...

    Bedding screws is covering the head underside and threads of a screw before you insert it in the hole, seals the underside of the head and the threads to the parent material. Sent from my Z10 using Tapatalk 2

    Sealant schooling

    Silversands - that's an awesome reply, I need to digest that and look up some of the products, I'm not familiar with most of them. Thanks! Sent from my Z10 using Tapatalk 2

    Sealant schooling

    I am putting new aluminum skins on the roof and lower section on my Alaskan camper. The original windows and vents were sealed with butly tape. In most cases it lasted 30 years, so I am planning on using it for the primary seal. I want to seal the edges of the butyl and screw heads with...

    Guides, Slides or Posts. Alaskan Pop-up Camper shell construction question.

    The Alaskan has thin pins that go thru the piston and rest on top of the cylinder in the full up position. The Alaskan slides are simple but insanely expensive, I am rebuilding an old one and wanted to replace the slides ( more of a want than need) Alaskan quoted $600 for the 4 slides, this is...

    2014 Truck Camper Building From Scratch

    Looks like your having fun. Its coming along pretty fast. I didn't have time to watch all the videos, but the images appear to show construction adhesive on the joints?? Alaskan Campers who have been building campers for 50yrs the same way only nail and screw the framing together( at least I...

    Watches - ExPo Style

    Maybe it's me, but I have to look at that watch for too long to even tell the time, the hands get lost in the dial. I do like gadget watches though. Sent from my Z10 using Tapatalk 2

    Battery

    The only battery I have had issues with is factory Toyota, had 3 replaced under warrantee, two because they failed, one because the tech put the replacement in backwards and crushed the cell caps with the retaining bracket( you would have thought he would notice this as the cell cap was...

    Hauling A Motorcycle With A Truck Camper

    That design makes me nervous, they allow easy access to the rear of the vehicle, but a 200-300 pound bike that far out from the pivot point puts huge stress on the hinge and the welds. If the bike is supported from the center( like a pin or something to take the load off the hinge) when in the...

    Late model Ram Steering recall

    I finally got an appointment on Friday to get my front end fixed under recall. It irritates me that 50% of the time I have owned the truck I have been awaiting front end parts. I am not a drama queen and don't really think it was going to fail and cause me to crash, but obviously someone does...

    Late model Ram Steering recall

    I still don't have parts, supposedly there are 9 people ahead of me on the list. 9 freakin months. I called several times to customer service, but it was a joke, they kept telling me just to be patient. I told them I would be patient if they gave me a loaner and I would park the 2500 in the...

    Have to ask...but not sure which category...Potty breaks?

    If I had known about cassette toilets when my son was 3, I would have been driving around with one in the back of the suv all the time. The one I have now is designed for permanent install in my truck camper, but could easily be attached to a simple plywood frame with handles. Add flush water...

    Earthcruiser vs ATW

    I will likely never be in the market for a $250000 vehicle, but if I was, I wouldn't not care one iota what was on the Web. I would fly out and get on my hands and knees and crawl around each one, drive them, open every door and cubby and inspect the craftsmanship of each. Then I would part...
