Did you by any chance get some pricing info on the Truckhouse camper?

I prefer the east side in winter... but there was definitely drug trafficking going on there way back in the 90s, when I was camped on the east side of the Bahia Concepcion. This was according to the "bored teenagers with machine guns" (Federales). I guess that is further south, Hwy 1. I doubt...

Hello! I'm building under bed storage boxes right now and was wondering about your latches for the door. Brand and where you bought them, if you remember. Thanks! Also, the town where I live is Ruidoso. Pretty much everybody is too lazy to pronounce it correctly, but it is phonetically correct...

Got this off a Ford forum. The F250 and 350 are ~15% greater diameter. The Tundra with 164" WB is 49.0'. I think the 145" is ~44'

I think there is now.

I noticed that bugs were plastered on the vertical camper wall behind that gap; moreso than anywhere else. How rigid is that? I was thinking of using neoprene roll...

It is hard to see where this would make sense. It doesn't look to me like it will handle steep arroyos, which are common in the SW desert, due to rear departure angle and breakover clearance. Too tall for trees. Maybe it's an extra fancy way to pull your SxSs to a flat spot near the highway...

It isn't obvious from the ad... maybe they do expect you to buy a truck separately. They do include tire/wheel/suspension/bumper upgrades. I'm not surprised the price has gone up, but... that is a lot. Not so bad compared to the competition I guess. Still think 450/4500 with garage + custom...

It opened at 8am yesterday, and I don't see any significant videos online.

Looks like they are expanding and selling through dealers now. I saw an early review on the Baja that said (I think) $170k for the camper. Wasn't the Nimbl $350k with the truck?

Besides Rossmonster? They seem to be doing well.

But surely their sales were not weak during covid?

The best gap is the least you need. Mine is 2" on a frame that flexes a good amount vertically, and has poly isolators holding the camper, and I can't make it touch. This rig is currently for sale on ExPo... what do you think that gap is? It's a lot less than mine... fraction of an inch I'd guess.

Taking a vacation, more like....?

If a person keeps their weight in check I think the 37s-40s might be a better way to go, as they would ride better. You are limited to ~8k lbs on the rear axle, but that is enough for a lot of camper and stuff. The turning radius is a very nice feature on the 450. I think I'd opt for the single...

It depends. If the pavement is kinda rough, I'd favor low pressure for best mpg, down to the Toyo spec for your load. If it's very smooth, higher pressure is probably better. I'm more familiar with this from racing road bicycles. When I started in the 80s, pretty much everyone ran 20mm tires...

Any name you can come up with is going to sound funny in some language...

NPs are pretty much useless to me already because of the crowds and rules. Camping on wide open BLM and NF in the west is just so nice!

The opposite. You have a lot more rubber on the road at 40 psi vs 80 psi. Unless your alignment is off, your front tires will usually just be rolling unless you turn. Better traction should help. Even with a diesel I'm pretty sure you don't have 5k lbs on the front axle, so 40 psi would be more...
