The regular cab has plenty of room for me; I travel alone with a beagle. I can fit three 6 gallon 'Jerry' cans of water behind the seat. I specifically wanted an 8 foot box, a crew cab with a long box won't fit into my garage and I don't like the looooong wheelbase. I wanted to get much of...

2012 Ram 2500 standard cab, 8' box, hemi, 4X4, and FWC Grandby; 7920 lbs. loaded with 2 weeks supplies. Truck without camper is 6360 lbs.

This winter: twice so far.

Glare ice

My biggest ********** with GPS is people let it do the thinking for them. It amazes me the number of people I have hunted and backpacked with who cannot point to where they are on a paper map without GPS giving it to them. I was taught to always know where you are on a (paper) map. When I was...

And how often do you camp in -20ºF temperatures? My point is that thermal bridging should not be a disqualifier for consideration on a camper frame. It is one factor in many that should be taken into consideration. It is not that hard to work around. Compromise and cost/benefit need to be...

You guys are giving way too much weight to thermal bridging. The aluminum frame accounts for > 5% of the interior perimeter of my FWC Grandby. I can overheat it with a 5000 BTU heater in 0ºF temperatures. Condensation becomes a issue only when it would be a problem anyway, like when drying...

I have a 1000W Sportsman that travels in my camper under the bed. With the vent closed I never smell gas.

I drive a lot of bad washboard. I am starting year 7 on my Sam's Club GC2s ($86 each). I draw about 50 of 208AH daily and have about 1200 cycles on them. My 2012 Ram 2500 came with a sealed FLA battery; I just replaced it with another sealed FLA this January. A friends 2017 Ford F150 came...

I got the smallest diameter wheels that will fit, mounted the smallest junk p-metric tires that will fit, and run them flat to get my '51 Power Wagon into a 7' garage door. If you need more traction (tires spin on the rim) put screws through the bead like drag racers do. I loose 8" with the...

My 2¢: The glaring difference (to me) is that the Bivy Stick becomes a simple, one way beacon if for any reason your cell phone is unavailable (forgot in truck, battery dead, fell in lake, . . . ). My inReach is fully functional as a stand alone unit. At least once a month I am somewhere where...

And one can way overpay for perceived quality/utility.

Kind of expensive. I am planning on using one like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07YNDBZ2T/?coliid=I2YENXL2QPAZRC&colid=27BMN3KDN9Y78&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it - note the exhaust pipe (and muffler); could get extra to make it longer. And either route it through the rear left corner where...

For those of you that have had success running a 120V mini or dorm fridge: - what refrigerator make & model are you running? - is a pure sine wave inverter required? - is it built in and does it have free space around the sides? - how do you keep the door closed? Thanks, jim

What bryce0lynch said. Plus, some of us actually enjoy customizing our campers.

If you're rear access, why not use receiver mounted steps. Much more stable. And removable. You can leave them in or store them right inside the door - first thing deployed/out of harms way.

I used soft close slides on my one drawer with no unwanted opening in 6 years of forest service roads and two track driving. Similar to these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PHL3R1Q?tag=askcom05-20&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1
