    Mitz Fuso FG Insurance- California Recommendations

    So with a cab to camper pass-though, Progessive thinks your going to seat passengers in the camper cabin? Was there any talk about annual mileage limits? I take it, at this point, you'll settle for any type of coverage you can get, just to get the wheels rolling. Its not unheard of, to pay...

    Getting a rock stuck between the rear duals can happen. In a muddy track, the duals will load up with mud. https://youtu.be/DFs7fiYXSzQ

    Advice on Nav and comms for Baja Trip

    I've been using a Garmin GPSmap 62s handheld unit in Mainland Mexico. You can't beat a unit that can show you where your at, point you with directions to where you want to go and if you have tracking turned on and displayed where you've been, all at the same time.

    Mitz Fuso FG Insurance- California Recommendations

    Foremost would be the place to start. Pictures and documented cost of big ticket items will help assign a value to the build. Any receipts for professionally done work, like mounting the body to the truck will work in your favor. Not sure how California does it, in Missouri, an RV...

    ^ It's not entirely the heaters fault. Condensation will form as the interior surfaces warm up to the dew point temperature. Same for a glass of ice tea that has condensation form on the outside of the glass on a hot day. Only in the camper the condensation is forming on the inside. I've been...

    Bumper in progress....07 FG140

    Looks like a good solid safe design. Not too big, not too small, it looks just right. Investigators say 'large, aftermarket' bumper on Jeep contributed to death of 2 West Linn teens.

    SAFETY

    The cabs on these trucks have a large glass area. Not sure having it all blown out in a crash or roll over is a good thing. Maybe when the truck is sinking and/or on fire it would be. I can't help but see in my minds eye, heads, arms and torsos being flung about.

    Heating a pop-up truck camper?

    Add the second battery if you can make it fit. Regarding a generator, I wouldn't go less than 2000 watt. That size will run anything you can run off a 15amp outlet with room to spare. Expecting ice here in the Midwest. The generator is gassed and ready to use should the power go out.

    New to site, GPS questions.

    A Garmin 62s and Garmin's Basecamp route planning software works for me. The gps can show me where I'm at, point me with directions to where I want to go and if I have tracking turned on and displayed, where I've been all at the same time. I always set the off route warning to 'Prompt'. I...
