    Kimberley Kampers is now defunct and out of business...assets being liquidated. Sucks!

    OVRLND camper topper

    Easier in & out (tailgates are generally a PITA when exiting from inside the bed...especially when 1/2 asleep ?). Generally better sealed against dust ingress. Drop down/flip up shelves on each door are more versatile for my needs than a tailgate. The downside unless the barn door(s)...

    OVRLND camper topper

    ^ Ditto! Especially barn/amby doors! Probably due to packing/shipping issues no one is offering barn/amby doors. A deal breaker for me...

    Swing-Out Trash Bags

    Its been sitting outside for 4-years without any visible degradation. Previously I had an MSA 4x4 tire bag I brought in from AU which eventually rotted out. But if I had to buy the Howling Moon again, I'd do so without reservation. It also has a large #10 YKK (or similar quality) and is a...

    Swing-Out Trash Bags

    https://www.sierraexpeditions.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=25600 Not the best graphics but this has served me better than other bags and made from coated PVC (think lightweight "Hypalon" material).

    Dual Battery systems - choosing between 3

    13 satisfied years with Perfect Switch's Powergate in the UZJ100. Added one to my LBZ two years ago to isolate the LiFePO4 in the bed; 100% happy. And Scott provides fantastic customer service, advice, support if/when needed.

    GFC vs. Vagabond

    ^ Very interested in your upcoming experience! And if they can build, with "custom" features like barn doors, flip up/down side window(s) with sliding glass for ventilation, ability to accommodate 3-4" thick mattress plus bedding, etc. Thanks Lance for taking one for the team :D Time for...

    GFC vs. Vagabond

    All good but I’ve never seen an OEM tailgate with 1/2 hatch shell seal effectively for dust & water ingress. Whereas ARE, Knapheide, BrandFX, Caravan, etc with full door frame, bulb seals & full size door(s) thereby removing the OEM tailgate from the sealing equation with 95+% sealing... But...

    1999 Toyota 100-Series Landcruiser Custom Overland Build

    I pulled a loaded AT Horizon (2,000lbs) for a couple years then a Kimberley Kamper (~2800lbs) and more recently the Trail Tailor trailer (~1500lbs) and it was fine for all off-road use and ok for all on-road except slower going over tall mountain passes.

    1999 Toyota 100-Series Landcruiser Custom Overland Build

    Ok, I won't tell you. :D Oh, alright: Yes its available. One of a kind rig with stupid # of custom mods. Great truck. Just not for pulling a 5klb trailer. ;)

    GFC vs. Vagabond

    Reply to my "silver bullet" comment: Its only relative to my needs and wants :D A few features... Full size (6.5' bed, LBZ) Barn doors with integrated flip up shelves. This also, if engineered & fabbed correctly, provides full door to frame seal. I have yet to find a topper with the 1/2...

    Stoked about the new Gofast camper

    I'd still want a lock out mechanism. As the gas struts age they tend to get weaker/less effective. Even with my lightweight Columbus fiberglass top I've used the locks in windy conditions.

    Kimberly financial restructure ?

    Anyone have more recent update on the financial health and organization of Kimberley Kampers? I sent an e-mail inquiry to their info@kimberleykampers.com and it bounced; not a good sign.

    SOLD: Ecotemp L5 Water Heater Kit

    REI used to offer their house branded soft sided coolers in a variety of sizes but they stopped a couple years ago. Its too bad because they were priced right and a good value as well as useful beyond keeping things cool.
