Personally, I think the whole camper industry needs to change and be force to post the ACTUAL full wet weight of each camper, as it is leaving the factory. No guesstimates, no basic, stripped model weights but with whatever has been installed in that specific camper, full of water, propane...

Hands down, one of my favorite camper builds on the site! Great job!!

So much want!!! This is exactly what I would be looking for, to build out. Come on lottery numbers!!! Papa needs a new rig! :D

That is an outside shower enclosure, that folds up. That company is out of Australia. I put one on my Xterra.

Sadly, I have heard of too many horror stories of sheet metal being completely ruined by blaster companies. Bummer the screwed up your doors and gate.

Man that came out great!!! One of the best setups I have seen in a while. Everything just looks like it belongs there and is clean. Congrats on the new rig!

I do still have the M1010, though not much happening at the moment. Last April I had a total knee replacement, so that had me dealing with recovery for a few month. Knee is doing great now! Then I have been side tracked with another camper project we bought in Dec. 2022 but still haven't...

So 285/75-16 is basically a 33" tall tire (32.8"). If you're looking to change them, with your lift, 35" tall might look better but will cost slightly in MPG. Personally, I would skip the exhaust, unless there is a problem with yours and it needs replacement. Very little power gain but the...

That is looking great! Nice work!

It's out of my price range but if you are looking for a US buyer, having it currently titled/registered in the states is going to go a long way to finding a buyer. Most are not going to want to deal with this and any potential issues. Other issue could be parts availability for the chassis...

That is the common method of mounting. I just had to remove my camper (Northstar TC800) and it is stiff enough that when lowering one corner a couple inches, it will lift the diagonal corner jack off the ground. All seems very solid. As for ripping them off, if you hit anything with them...

You can get some Button Head bolts, which will be rounded like a carriage bolt but have a hex drive used to tighten them. Best of both worlds. You can stiffen up the plate but welding some angle iron pieces on the top side, between the cross members (but not too the cross members). I would...

Adventure Trailers (AT Overland) used to offer a portable Propex heater built into a small tool box. You might Google and see if any pics are still out there. I think this one is posted here on ExPo EDIT: Found another pic here

Bummer about the piston but not surprised. Good luck with the clean up of the engine. I hate having to clean up old, crusty ones.

This is from about 15 years or so back. Out in Death Valley with our 2000 Jeep Cherokee and Kamparoo trailer. It was a great setup.

Okay, being at 58v makes a huge difference. Also reading in the article they are running a secondary, auxiliary alternator is a big difference. You're not relying on the stock 12v system to do any of the house power. 9000w at 58v = 160 amp of charging, which wiring wise, in very doable. For a...

Hi all, I had this popup on FB and IG. Looking at this and watching the videos, it seems like it could be a nice tool that can replace a number of individual items with one unit. I haven't really seen any "real world" tests or reviews and was curious if anyone has used one of these...

My guess there is an extra zero in that number. 900 watts would be more likely. As for the comparison between a van and camper (of any type) is very apples to oranges. I think the big advantage that slide in campers have is, you can replace the vehicle without replacing the camper. If you...

Typically when the oil dipstick is pushed out (assuming it was fully seated), it is usually caused by a large amount of blow by pressure. Could be bad rings, hole in piston, breathers not venting. Oil weight is typically no an issue and I run 20/50 in a number of older vehicles that have a lot...

Nice idea and thinking outside the box. Before going too far down that road, I would load up the FJ with gear, typical people who travel, full tank of fuel and go get it weighed. Then compare weight to the GVWR of the rig. Then take your estimated weight of the camper, multiply by at least...
