Mine is an Isuzu but is registered as an RV in Minn. and insured with Progressive for just under $400 a year. Vic

You can also buy just the MC-4 connectors to put on your cable going to the batteries. I think it cost me about $20 for 6 of them for my 3 panels. Any reason to use them? I know of one but I hope it will never be an issue for you! I had a 2 bolts come loose on one side of one panel, the wind got...

Sold it today, just in time too, looks like next week will finally be a nice one to get out and play!

Yeah!! I hope your trucks catch up with their paperwork! And that all goes well in Columbia.

And I'm complaining about 15 mpg with my Isuzu!! I can get 15 if there is no head wind and I'm not in the mountains, but only if I don't go over 55 mph. Going up to 65 drops it down to about 13 - so I just drive slower. I'm retired and in no hurry so it isn't a big problem for me. Can't argue...

Hi Janet and Tom, Glad to hear that you are among good company and keeping a good attitude through it all. I hope it works out for you soon. I'm visiting with my family in Minnesota, I'm in Minneapolis right now so taking time off from traveling for awhile. Had a hail storm late yesterday...

SOLD on Craigslist - Minneapolis Very clean 4x4 with automatic, leather interior, CD player, alloy wheels, new Goodyear tires and just turned over 40,000 miles yesterday. I was living out of the country most of the time since I bought the car so it has been stored most of the time and mainly...

Well I have been visiting my son and some friends in the Denver/Colorado Springs area for a couple of weeks, wishing I was back in warm Arizona. I drove through the Superstition Wilderness on the Apache Trail and spent about a week near Canyon Lake. Great scenery and hiking, really enjoyed it...

Looks really nice! I'm happy with my NPR with a truck camper on it for the most part, but the pass through into the cab would be really great. It looks like a really clean and functional camper. Have you made a decision on it yet? I just realized what NA stands for. I don't know what mine weighs...

After my solar shower started leaking I've settled on a gallon plastic jug with a handle (like a milk jug). Leave it in the sun for the day (or better yet on the dash of my camper facing west). Wash hair, rinse, wash body, rinse, wash feet, rinse - done!

I just spent a week hiking and biking on the Black Canyon National Recreation Trail, north of Phoenix, AZ. It is open to hikers, mtn. bikers and horses. Some of the trail on the south end (starting at State Rt. 74) is just old jeep trails, but north of what is called the Boy Scout Loop to the...

Hi Garrett, Thanks for checking on me. I've been in the desert since Thanksgiving, after spend time in L.A. and the San Gabriel mtn. Went to the slabs near Niland, then 5 Palms south of there, Quartzite AZ and have been around Ajo and Gila Bend AZ for the last month. Just today heading back to...

Thanks. I looked on Truckpaper but found mine on Craigslist. It had a delivery box with power lift gate on it but I sold that for about the same price as it cost to have the flatbed made.

Lehel, Wow, that middle pic above looks a bit scary! Had you scouted out the road ahead of time or did you just go for it? I'm always afraid of getting to an impassable spot and having to back out somehow! Vic

Just saw this and thought I would comment. I had considered building a camper from scratch and after drawing lots of plans decided to go with a 1990 Shadow Cruiser truck camper instead. I wanted to put in new insulation and add storage compartment and a motorcycle garage as I was putting it on...

Not quite true! I have a Coleman one, got it at Walmart for about $8 I think. Have only used it 10 times at the most and the tube has developed a leak where it goes into the bag. Not sure if I could take it back and get a new one but I doubt if I can find the receipt anyway! Vic

I have a 2001 with a 5 sp. manual. If I drive 55 on the freeway I can usually get 15 mpg. Going 65 drops it down to below 12. Headwinds are killers also, especially with the normal delivery box like many of them have. My camper is a little bit better with the aero cap but not much. Around the...

Unfortunately I didn't get a photo but I recently saw an FG in Quartzsite AZ with a little wooden cabin on the back, complete with shingles on the roof if I remember right. Anyone else seen it or know who it belongs to? Vic

Thanks for sharing the beautiful morning in JT! I'm down at Holtville now, east of El Centro, CA. Looks like a rainy couple of days!

Hi Janet and Tom, you are getting near me. I am at Slab City, just east of Niland on California highway 111, by the Salton Sea. Lots of snowbirds here, including a group from Canada. Not much of an overlander spot, but there is a popular hot springs and the world famous "Salvation Mountain". It...
