Above photos is the fabric pattern, the mis-matched paint sent to cover the unpainted areas, the new trailer, and a counter top photo I forgot to add. Of course I needed to add one with the awning out, too.

My Taco Phoenix Pop Up Camper Part VI Some other photos I think I've covered most everything from the last nine months. I need to get some photos of the Thule Summit and the roof and will add those soon. I did also buy a Wells Cargo 4x6 trailer. I makes it much easier than dragging...

My Taco Phoenix Pop Up Camper Part V Backup Camera Here is the link that I relied upon for my back up camera. http://www.wanderthewest.com/forum/topic/7207-back-up-camera-thread/ Again, I was able to buy an OEM camera off of eBay, just as the thread suggested. I didn't mount it under the...

My Taco Phoenix Pop Up Camper Part IV interior photos So progressing to the inside of the camper, there's not a lot of room. Other than the ice storm encountered that caused us and our three dogs to spend four days inside the camper, we generally don't do anything but sleep in there. The bed...

My Taco Phoenix Pop Up Camper Part III--the paint job As I indicated in my previous post, I opted for the $1500 custom paint upgrade. My 2013 Taco is Barcelona Red (so was the 2009). I am not sure what color they painted the camper, but it is just off a little on the shading. The first two...

I think that is EXACTLY what they did!

Forgot to mention, we had to turn the rear happy jacks upside down in order to ensure adequate clearance. This, in turn, meant not keeping them on full-time, which was the plan as they are VERY heavy. The problem with taking them off full time was the paint issue that I will discuss in great...

Picking Up the Phoenix Pop Up Part II So to continue the adventure, we packed up all of the recommended items for our trip from San Antonio to Denver for the big day! As suggested, we had bedding, cooking items, towels, dishes, etc. I tried very hard to keep it to a minimum, as I knew space...

Just over a year ago (November 2012), we began the ordering process for our Phoenix Pop Up Camper…and ultimately picked it up in March 2013. Prior to November 2012, we researched the heck out of what we wanted--literally for more than three years. Having gone through the process painstakingly...

This is awesome, and I actually think I can do this! I love your blog, too. We are getting ready to customize our Phoenix pop up in December. I've spent several years in the military, so am looking forward to seeing my own country! Thanks so much!

Thanks for the responses....but I guess I should've stated that I am a bit mechanically challenged. The article from tundra talked about welding wires and all I could see was a Smoked Taco... Regardless, I love the Taco back up camera so much, I'm gonna try! I'm also going to suggest to...

I have a 2009 Taco that has a back up camera in the tailgate. I am prepping the truck for a camper (slide in) that will require me to remove the tailgate--and lose the camera. Has anyone ever moved the camera to the bumper? If so, how? I really, really love the camera-- and would use it...
