    Post Pics of Your Hard Side Camper!

    Thanks. Still using the Kodiak. I am a waaay slower builder than you, so I can't go "camperless" for too long......

    Post Pics of Your Hard Side Camper!

    Here a couple of driver's side pictures of my recent temporary, "getting home" setup. As I mentioned, the next version will have some "shock" value.... And include swaged connections. Back pulley attachment Front pulley attachment (the wad of cable is just extra length that I didn't want...

    Yah.... Good thing I had my toes crossed when I made that statement. What about some sort of support group on ExPo, something like CWA - "Camper widows anonymous"

    Post Pics of Your Hard Side Camper!

    I have only had the camper for two days. So far, I really like it, it is a bit daunting with all of the bareness and "whiteness" inside but that is what I wanted, a blank sheet of paper. I had considerable input with their engineers into the design which was fun. OH inside bed area is 53x80...

    Wildlife Photography

    Taken two weeks ago on King William Island in Nunavut in Canada's far north. Not often you get to see an Arctic Fox in summer colors. Most of the ones I generally see are in their winter colors, featured on the sides of truck campers and trailers....

    Share a Picture of Where You Are Today

    This morning, we just finished a short week of paddling in BC's Kootenays region. Stellar weather except one afternoon which gave us an amazing downpour combined with zero delay lightening/thunder and then a bonus double rainbow.

    2020 Overland Explorer Vehicles (OEV) CAMP-X pop-up slide-in pickup camper (renamed "Back Country" as of 2023)

    I find with a very thin substrate like aluminum or fiberglass, a 1/16th over rotation during tightening a screw will strip the thread anyway. I hardly use screws anymore where the "bond to" material is so thin. I have now gone just about exclusively to stainless rivet nuts, epoxied in and...

    I'm TIRED of this sit!

    I love my PICO chair but, man, I'm at a stage of life when I can't remember sit, so it is always good to have a quick private practice refresher session with it to review where to push and pull to make it magically open, prior to doing it in front of folks you might be trying to impress, like...

    Proper propane setup

    Perfect. I am not too familiar with TD trailers so yup, I get it. Thx.

    Proper propane setup

    Tony Do you use your cook stove remotely (picnic tables, etc.)? Guessing if you do you would have a quick disconnect at the stove, with a shut off? I am designing a new system that will incorporate dual regulators and a "remote ability" feature and as well, using "black iron pipe" for the...

    Bear proofing on vehicle-based expeditions?

    Is there a possibility that some of you guys are off the mark in this discussion? https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/soda-car-bear-1.6812541#:~:text=Sweet%2Dtoothed%20bear%20breaks%20into%20car%2C%20guzzles%2069%20sodas&text=A%20bear%20in%20Earls%20Cove,and%20the%20bear%20drank%2069.

    Proper propane setup

    You didn't mention it specifically but I am gathering that once you ran a direct line from the propane tank to the distribution block, you then ran two separate lines from that block. One line went to a 11" WC (+/-) regulator (your Flameking brand) and then onto the Propex heater. The second...

    [SOLD] 2000 Ford F450 7.3 Diesel 4x4 w/ Kodiak Camper and Garage $22,500

    I can't speak to the pricing of the truck but I have exactly the same camper as you and I would venture that your pricing is pretty much right on. For a whole bunch of reasons, any of the Canadian made molded fiberglass campers are both generally pretty good performers in their "from the...

    Propex HS2000

    I hope you get it squared away, sounds like Propex might need to step up. I also hope they don't sully their good reputation as a result of feet dragging. I for one will be watching how this unfolds. Exactly as you pointed out, mine runs fine at 11"WC right on the button so it sure seems that...

    Happy Hour in the South Saskatchewan River badlands. Looking down to the water, you can just see our tent and kayaks which are incidentally, of secondary importance at the time of the photo.....
