If you like the Husky look, but with less effort needed, check out a Norwegian Elkhound or a Samoyed (a little 'fluffier'). Both still shed lots though! http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/norwegianelkhound.htm http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/samoyed.htm Vic

It's not a fancy fridge, just plain basic model, no digital controls. I checked on their website and the downloadable manual there doesn't say anything about inverters or RV use. On some other models it does, on some it doesn't. My guess is that they put that in there just for product liability...

When I saw the warning on the last line, I laughed for about 5 minutes!

OK guys, thanks, wiser heads have prevailed and I will rebuild the existing truck camper. I just met with Dana, the one who will build the aluminum flat bed frame, and he gave me some ideas about repairing the camper, and strongly recommended not starting over and building a new camper shell. I...

Due to the time and effort to rebuild my current camper I am again considering building a camper from scratch, and using the truck camper for parts. I have to take all the siding off the camper, got the left side done today. Many of the 1x2s need replacing, as well as the only 1x4 (one on each...

I got all of the lettering cleaned off of the truck box yesterday, this afternoon I got the lift platform repainted and it looks much better. Need to do a bit of touch on on the roll up door and then it will be ready to remove and sell. But before I remove it, I need to decide what materials I...

Thanks, Kerry, I will put it on my to do list. But it will need to be wire brushed some first! I got the letters off the sides today, still need to do the roll up door. Here are the prices I got from Busbee: 1 wheel - $125, 2 wheels - $200, shipping - about $25 per wheel. Used tires 215 85 16"...

Jim, I was told it was a 14' box, but the actual outside measurement is 14 1/2' by 8' wide. The box is in very good shape but the lift gate has some rust on it (but works perfect). I got most of the lettering off today. There are photos on the Craigslist ad here...

gait - I guessed that last night, it was getting increasingly difficult last evening after the sun went down. This morning I put it in the sun and in just a few minutes they came off much easier. I got one side done this morning, hope to finish it this afternoon. Then I will use the Goof Off to...

Well I was trying to sell the box today, went to the International truck dealer and he offered me $500 for it, they would take it off and remove the lettering (all the lettering is just stick on). He said it is 'worth' $1500 off the truck and the lettering removed. I bought some "Goof Off" and...

John - Are you trying to sell the whole truck or just the flatbed? I'm planning on taking mine to a truck dealer tomorrow and see if they will give me anything for the bed. jhrodd - $275 a year, wow that is cheap!! Is that just liability? Is the camper insured? My main concern was having the...

Congratulations, Earl! I know how you feel, I just got to pick up my 'new' Isuzu NPR last week after buying it in December. Tomorrow I need to go to a truck dealer and see if I can sell the box/liftgate. I am in the process of tearing the truck camper apart now, lots of hidden wood rot. :-(...

Thanks, Peter, I will check them out! Here are some photos. You can see larger photos in the album on my profile.

I went to Home Depot today, not a very good selection of lumber, will have to look some other places. I had ordered a combo set of Ryobi 18v tools while still in Peru, when I opened the box here I was quite disappointed to see that the battery charger was only a trickle charger, takes 12 hours...

A quick update - I drove to Fort Meyers, FL on Thursday, about 140 miles. The truck drove and handled well, but I was going into a strong headwind almost the whole way and mileage was terrible! I haven't filled yet but looks like it got about 10 MPG! I was hoping/expecting about 15 mpg so that...

First Impressions I finally got to drive my truck today, the first time I have every driven an NPR. It is definitely not a Honda!! The 5 speed shifter is reversed, I'm used to 1st being top left and reverse being bottom right. The NPR has reverse in the top left position, 1st below that and 5th...

I arrived in Miami on Monday afternoon and on the way to where I am staying got to stop by and see my truck - it looks great! Went to Walmart in the evening and got a cell phone with Straight Talk, the $30 a month prepaid plan (1000 min, 1000 text messages and 30 MB of data) and a Samsung R451C...

For those who are interested, I have started my build thread here.

Personally I'm not a fan of cargo box conversions, although you are probably right that it would look better, less pieced together. Who knows what will happen when I actually see the truck and the camper in person, maybe I will have a change of heart. Well I have sold almost everything here...

Good job on the ceiling, looks real nice! Vic
