    Rare Toy Hauler Adventure Rig (Build)

    I finally made a cover panel to enclose the utility space that houses the jack controller and spare heater fuel. I even used a piece of the factory green carpet I removed from the heater install. It was simple to mount the Reico-Titan wall switch right there on the enclosure.

    Rare Toy Hauler Adventure Rig (Build)

    I wanted a super lightweight table for the dinette. I considered fabbing one from honeycomb laminates but that stuff is expensive and hard to find a small sheet of it. I ended up using a table top from IKEA. It has a honeycomb cardboard center with thin laminate sides and is extremely...

    Rare Toy Hauler Adventure Rig (Build)

    I built a shelf in the new cabinet to get more storage. I like sliding doors better because when stuff bounces against them from the inside, they tend to stay closed better than hinged doors. My patch collection is always evolving.....:cool:

    Rare Toy Hauler Adventure Rig (Build)

    I found the perfect way to store the camper when its not on the truck. I have this small ATV trailer that usually just sits during the winter because my ATV has a snow plow blade on it all season. I dropped the camper on the trailer and it fits perfectly and now it only takes as much space as...

    Rare Toy Hauler Adventure Rig (Build)

    Yeah, Ive done lots of searching and cant find anything similar (except for an old For Sale add here on EP that lists it as a Cascade brand (though my unit doesnt say Cascade anywhere on it, its obviusly the same manufacturer)...

    Rare Toy Hauler Adventure Rig (Build)

    I finished the final countertop with 10" stainless sink. Since the sink willl only have water and biodegradeable soap, the drain is routed outside and a hose will empty under the truck when camped. Everyting I add is done as lightweight as possible. This rig has and will go on some extremely...

    Rare Toy Hauler Adventure Rig (Build)

    But the ice chest was also temporary and I replaced it with a Whynter fridge of the same dimension. I made a small platform to allow for the fan on the Lion Energy Safari battery pack to breath, and mounted the Safari on its side. The hollow space on the right side, under the battery pack...

    Rare Toy Hauler Adventure Rig (Build)

    Then I found an ice chest that was exactly 15" deep to fit on the opposite side, across from the heater. The corner is a perfect place for a single rifle mount. This place on the cabinet was just screaming for an old ships clock...

    Rare Toy Hauler Adventure Rig (Build)

    I can do anything I want with this open floor plan but at first I am going to try to keep the 46" floor space clear. Even if I never haul any toys in it, I like all the space to move around! First thing was to get a heater installed. I found a little rot under where I mounted the heater but...

    Rare Toy Hauler Adventure Rig (Build)

    Found this on craigslist and immediately jumped on it. I saw it as a perfect blank-slate to build on. Its basically an empty shell with cushions and some storage. It's a Panther brand, Sierra model. Manufactured by Best Built Products. It only weights 1035 lbs dry. It has double...

    Heaters: Comparative data

    I don't have any comparative data on this yet but I will say that my driveway is at 6320 feet of elevation and this 5kw diesel clone heater could heat a small house. I will get some higher elevation data as soon as I can get up there...

    2019 Frontier SV 4x4 Crew Cab LWB weekend adventure truck build

    Nice pics! How well do the barn doors seal out dust and water? Especially at the bottom and next to tail lights...? I have an OVRLND on order and cant decide what kind of doors to get.

    Another-nother OVRLND camper build

    I actually read all your posts this time instead of just looking at the pictures ? The cork pattern fabric is a great idea and looks good too. How did you attach it to the side walls? I was thinking of using the same carpet you have on the roof for all my walls and roof. Would it be easier...

    Diesel Air Heater in 1st Gen Tacoma for OVRLND Top

    "The intake air filter is behind the license plate. I will likely re-rout the exhaust and put the included silencer on later but for now this works great"

    Diesel Air Heater in 1st Gen Tacoma for OVRLND Top

    I have an OVRLND pop top on order so I decided to get serious about a heater. It's a cheap knockoff heater from amazon (). There are too many knockoffs to choose from and I chose this one based on reviews and the fact that the temp readout is in fahrenheit. Once you get over the fact that you...

    Show us your Toyota 4runner, tacoma or truck.

    Details on the RC Tacoma, please! Ha! That's my mini-me. Body is RC4WD on an SCX10 chassis with Sendero Method 701 wheels to match. Oh, and matching Falken MTs too. My real truck has a supercharger, Ironman suspension, and a custom hidden winch mount.....if you care....:p
