    so basically... 3/4 ton/1 ton heavier camper

    I owned a 1996 Legend 990 until last year... Whatever you do, get underneath the unit and check for wood rot. Tanks and valves are not protected as the newer units are. Years of road grime and water exposure will take its toll. Also, check underneath at all the wireing to make sure it is not...

    Fulltime in a TC.... ?!?

    Iott I am staying away from air bags, as I am in the works to adding a 5000lb overload spring to the rear leafs. The issue/s I see with camper manufactures are simular to most other products to our consumer market. Build, create what the majority buyers think they want, to include wives...

    Here is the 2016 floor plan of my 1172 double slide out. The dinnet makes into a day bed... This is what I use in place of my dinnet orangement.

    Fulltime in a TC.... ?!?

    Also-if serious about off the beaten path as you say, the lighter the unit the better. In my experience with my old 3400lb non-slide I tore the bed mounts right out between the bed and bed fame of the truck. Playing twist-ah-flex with a truck camper is not fun nor advised in some circumstance. I...

    Fulltime in a TC.... ?!?

    And do not forget the fact parts are pretty easy to come by for a pickup versus say a specialty motorhome. RV parts and labor, like everything else is seeing 10 to 30% increase in parts and labor. Every Christmas we must travel the I-40 during the Christmas holiday rolling through miles and...

    A 2017 Desert Renewal

    It is always nice to have a plethora of cool stuff to play with while out in the backcountry. Once upon a time I once did the same until my state decided to enact very strict environmental and gun related rules and laws that for me, have become so burdensome I am not as motivated these days...

    1988 TrekMaster Refit

    After years of RV ownership I have decided to rid myself of the constant expense that goes with it and instead focus on my 2012 Jeep JK and trailer. The trailer itself is pretty neat... Has a 360 degree rotating tongue to include a dampening system so as to prevent that jerking like action as if...

    Monache Meadows Trip Report

    Disregard my question as I went over and read you'er blog. Nicely done! I have investigated a blog myself but backed away due to the building factor involved. Frustrating for me. Back in the 60's we got snowed on during the night. Boy Scouts Troop 58. Ground tarps only, NO tents. First time I...

    Death Valley Super Bloom

    Thank you Loud, I read several reviews as well as watched the demo video. seems advances in technology wins favorably in this new sleeping system. Mummy bags have always been too confining for me. A good nights sleep is very important

    Death Valley Super Bloom

    Thank you for taking me along (Expedition Forums LOL) on your photo tour. Question? Did you ever figure out a way to sleep warm? And my last question? Do you use a photo editing program?

    Jeep Africa, Will it Come to be?
