    Pop up styles: straight up, vs wedge, vs flip?

    Looking for feedback from folks who have experience with different types of pop-tops. I think the 180 degree flip tops like the old wildernest & flip-pac and now the AT Habitat seem like they'd really be great since they are nearly as quick as the wedge or straight up pops but offer a lot more...

    Does anyone know what brand/model camper this is?

    I have a palomino pop up trailer with lift arms that look like that. Might be a palomino.

    Manley ORV in 2019

    Seems unusual that the Chinese company would actually bother to purchase an American company in order to produce the product, rather than just producing It Anyway under their own name.

    Breakdown Troubleshooting Guide?

    Thanks for the feedback. I don't have a swapped vehicle right now. The VW-subaru was something I had in the past, i mentioned it just as an example of mechanical work i've done. I once sprung a coolant leak on the line to the rear heater in an E350. I safety wired 2 pieces of tree-branch...

    Breakdown Troubleshooting Guide?

    I've been putting together a toolkit and recovery items and it occurred to me that since i'm not a highly experienced mechanic probably one of the most helpful items I could carry would be some sort of handbook to walk me through troubleshooting and diagnostic processes in the event of a...

    Hey Vortec Guys! / Sierra pickup / Suburban / Yukon etc - Finally has Index!

    Hmm, wondering if i'm a dummy now... i haven't done much wrenching on my yukon yet but i thought i remembered using only metric tools. All i've done so far is clean out the throttle body, IAC and intake manifold, and replaced the rear driver side axle seal. I was really hoping I wouldnt need...

    Hey Vortec Guys! / Sierra pickup / Suburban / Yukon etc - Finally has Index!

    Great thread, although unbearably long! What tools do you guys carry for these rigs? I've got a 2001 Yukon and am starting to do some light offroading with it. Sometimes I take a whole 50 lb toolbox, sometimes that seems like overkill and I don't carry any tools at all. The problem is that I...

    Replace rear side window with solid cargo access hatch (gullwing)

    This is a pretty cool mod, I don't think I could do it the same way with the compound curvature of my (and most other SUV) glass though.

    Replace rear side window with solid cargo access hatch (gullwing)

    I wonder if there are any DIY methods or examples for replacing a cargo area window with an access hatch that opens. I'd like to replace the rear driver-side window in my Yukon, but of course there are not kits sold to do this, and frankly I don't have the budget to consider something like a...

    trailer battery charging

    I see how installing a DC/DC charger would be advantageous. I don't get why just installing larger wires from starting battery to house battery is helpful. There is some confusing stuff early on in this thread. Maybe somebody can enlighten me. I'll explain things the way i've been taught. Tell...
