Do you climb out your drivers side hatch and then remove this to get out?

Not really able to help on this other than to say it is 100% doable depending on the size of your truck/camper. With our bed pulled out, there is a great space below to put a bunk. We are going to be building a bench on one side, which could be combined with an L shape bunk on the cab-side...

Hammock Daisy Chain Straps - $7 and a handful of self tapping screws and you'll have close to the same thing for under $10 total. I have on order, and am going to put in T-track in the same spot, so I can connect battery powered lighting, hooks for accessories, etc. using t-nuts and move it...

That makes sense! Didn't to intend to sound like I was nit picking - I don't have a Tacoma and was really interested if it had a 12v tap for DC to DC as that would be sweet in addition to the 120!

Number one issue for me with portable panels has been wind blowing them over while I'm gone from my camp. Isn't the Tacoma bed receptacle AC?

We chose to not put the solar port on ours - having had solar on a few previous setups our thoughts on skipping it were: I prefer having a movable solar setup, as sites don't often have good exposure. We bring solar on specific trips where we will be stationary more than 3 days - which is very...

Thanks! Finished up my insulation for the most part today. Got a bedrug installed, and thru bolted the camper to the truck bed rails so I could ditch the clamps. Now to figure out side covering and to order a headliner!

I've gone through the thread, but haven't found what folks have found works well for covering the ceiling? It looks like OVRLND uses a stretchy headliner fabric that is pulled taut, and then put a track channel nearly the length of the roof? This looks like it is being put on either before the...

We started with making a list of things learned from our past camping setups; and what we wanted our next one to accomplish. We weighted the importance of the things we wanted what we wanted to build in our camper vs what we wanted to buy. We've built a few setups before, so we know how much...

Appreciate the heads up and the recommendations, will be sure to check those out! We've been monitoring the weather over the last week and are pretty geared up - if we aren't feeling it we'll bail and grab cheap accommodations in town.

Picking our camper up on Monday so long as the weather in the San Juans cooperates and the roads stay open. Going to spend a night in the FLG area and then start our trek back up to northern Colorado over a few days.

Price: $1000 Selling Set of Decked Drawers, along with two Decked Organizer boxes. Has lived it's life under a topper and used for camping/fishing gear. I am selling as I am going to a truck camper setup. In excellent condition. Has all install hardware and accessories; including owners...

Thanks for letting me know!

Heard from Maggie that I'll be able to pick up mid November! Has anyone had any success in insuring their camper? I'm going to call my insurance company and ask about accessories coverage as one idea. Snow and a low of 19* here on Friday/Saturday. Bought a Lavaner Pro Alpine 5kw diesel...

Putting the OVRLND on this? It looks like you now have MORE bells and whistles!?

Doing some prep on the truck for the camper. Got ride-rite bags in (we use them for towing our boat too) and set to 5psi to help them keep their shape. Ordered a TRD rear sway bar; I figure with the amount of canyon driving we do, and the wind that we run into, anything keeping the tail end...

How did you run straps around the camper? That looks great!

Is there a way to get more weight over the rear axle; even if it isn't reducing the weight of the trailer overall? I worked on a trailer that was having tongue weight issues; by shifting a bank of deep cycle batteries and two onboard water tanks to the rear (and filling them up to actually add...

I've had a few utility trailers over the years and found they all have been sensitive to balancing. I was taught on a single axle trailer that you want a tongue weight around 10-15% of the trailer's total weight on the ball; but in my experience when you've got a 4-10k lbs trailer, that...

Awesome, appreciate all of the comments on this! We ended up going with both side hatches, rear barn doors, front slider window, maxxfan (exhaust only), windows and struts; with mill aluminum siding. Things we may still add are interior locking latches on the side hatches, and anodized exterior.
