Ouch. I honestly would have expected much better mileage. Good to know you have no concerns about the engine holding up thus far though. Have you re-calibrated the PCM with the new tire size? What is your fully fitted weight? I can't imagine a FWC being that heavy.... this and your other...

I think maybe theres some miscommunication going on? what is pictured is not to suggest what you quoted me... here is a photo of typical camper style tie downs this seems to place significant stress on the camper structure, which as you mentioned is pretty minimal below this point (the part...

It possibly depends on how the camper is built though. just about all factory built campers have tiedowns on the outside edge of the lip. which just seems like a bad idea to me. the one pictured above is at least on the inside instead the outside. But...maybe my theories the above picture...

I fully agree with you. and had that conversation with 2 paint shops. I can't justify 20K for paint in the first place, nonetheless on somethig that will be in the woods all the time. It would just be nice to have the few beginning problem spots repaired before they become real trouble. So...

mostly dynamic. However even in static the stress could over time cause damage - if over tightened. I think this concern is more relevant for older flexy trucks than the newer ones with super stiff frames.

I would be curious what your calculated loaded mpg would be. If you ever get that.

Went to another paint place to see what some options are. 1) buff and patch repairs - approx 2500. 2) total respray - starting at 20K They would not entertain spraying exterior with anything other than paint. Also suggested total respray would take about 8 months as warranty claims come...

Since this seems the best location for this question... In terms of general camper tie downs - they always seem to be outside the camper, going to usually the frame/bumper, possibly a truck bed, or maybe pocket die downs. Either way they always seem to connect to the outside corners of a...

Mileage seems to be worse than my OBS. Interesting... What about what the book says for maintenance intervals? Although, suppose I could look up that bit myself.

Just exploring for some info. Wondering what folks think of the 7.3. Curious how it has performed, what sort of mileage you are seeing (please specify loaded or not, highway/city, hills or flat, since this country is vast), reliability, etc... Thanks :-) Just looking at some other options...

Looking at purchasing this in the next few months 485C Gen.2 Dual OBA | VIAIR Corporation Curious to hear about mounting locations pro/con list that some have experineced. I know most jeep buys put their ARB's under the hood, and most truck guys probably just put it along the frame. I am...

Agreed with you fully. There is SO much contention at my workplace about this actually, well the whole state really. It was stated for particular areas E bikes were strictly prohibited, then recended and allowed, then prohibited again, and every weird combination of possibilities in between...

Thank you :-)

Yeah it was a sow who was already relocated once due to being problematic in another area. But...she was teaching her 3 yearlings bad things... So all 4 of them were killed. A sad day. But it's always a risk. I always was nervous about it backpacking in the back country. All I did was make...

I do this all the time in the passenger windows of my truck. Actually the original idea was not for sleeping at all but rather to keep them up during the day to reduce sun radiation from getting in the cab and heating it so darn hot. It has worked well and now they have been in the truck full...

This just happened over the weekend in Polebridge. Of course the bears were already habituated with food rewards and the trailer pictured was 'abandoned' or left with lots of food in the fridge and rotting food in a open garbage bin inside - so not the cleanliest of people apparently. Black...

What would that mpg be by chance? 13?

How about climate as briefly discussed already. Which systems operate better in cold weather? I believe some time ago redarc had major issues operating in temps below 40 degrees? I think that was fixed, but it still doesn't work below -20 (I read somewhere a few months ago). How about...

100%. I once was all about working with them. Wouldn't even consider this place for a half second anymore. I'm betting they won't be around much longer based on the response to BBB

I'm not really a fan of capri campers. They stand too tall (I require a pop-up). But I did call them one time to ask questions anyway, and they were unwilling to consider any type of custom options... They wouldnt' even talk about it and cut me off when asked. So... thats a hard pass in my...
