You can go without but it is a lot easier if you have them. I never had to use air with my units just drained the tank, open the drain and taps and let it drain for an hour or so. Close the low point then I would pump some RV antifreeze and done. Never had a problem. I actually got into the...

We did a family of 6 and a dog with a truck camper (2 bench seats). We did it BUT it was VERY tight and not enjoyable at night 2 of us slept in a tent. If I was going to do it again I would get a 4x4 van (first choice) or a larger SUV. Build a kitchen (fridge / stove top) in the back to use...

Southern Alberta, Canada.

One of the last nice days before it snowed and got really cold (-30 C or -22F). A nice fall till that hit!

There should be a spot marked on the TCer that tells you where the center of gravity is for the camper. If that is only a little behind the rear axle then you are fine. If that is a lot behind the rear axle I would not use the camper as it removes so much weight from the front axle that you...

I found a good one at Ikea for my truck camper, even got to try them out in store. The other option locally is I found a company that builds mattresses for RV companies and will custom build them depending on your likes (Thickness and stiffness). Used that in my class C and it was amazing. Try...

WOW to bad I JUST decided to become a vegetarian. ???

I have a REALLY old charger of my Dad's that is the dumb charger. You put it on a battery and it will charge it, does not do any checks just sends juice. This will work to get a battery to start charging if it is REALLY dead. Then you can finish off with a better charger that will top up and...

WOW it has been a while since I posted. I guess I should update a little. Start with the most recent thing the decals.

This is what I was taught growing up by my father ex military with a transport battalion. ALWAYS think about an escape route. Has helped me as much with people troubles as with weather. Getting a couple feet of snow overnight and being able to drive straight out is easier then backing up...

I just took off my KO2's and went with Nokian's, so far so good, I talk them here

I was hoping that this thread was actually going to be reasonable but seeing your last two comments I am beginning to think that this may be either a troll posting to pass the time or it is someone that's gone off the deep end with worry and will never leave their room for fear of coming face...

You've already gotten some good responses but I want to toss in my two cents worth here. I've lived in Canada all my life and I've lived outdoors for large majority of it. I have hiked in the mountains, rafted, kayaked, cycled, camped and just put anything else you can think of in the outdoors...

My opinion is that you are taking away material at the point that it is needed the most - the corners. Even with covering it you are still weakening the joints. Unless you went with a thicker board inside to distribute the load further away from the edge I wouldn't. Yes it would look nicer...

You've already gotten some really good advice but let me toss in what I experienced. I camped in some of the temperatures that you're talking about minus 30 - 40 Celsius regularly and I did not have any problem with the units that I had (class C, Truck camper and now a van). I did this by...

Took my tiny home to do some tiny pictures. Waterton Lakes National Park, Macro Photography. Pictures on my blog. https://patersonphotography.ca/2021/11/01/small-world-waterton-lakes-national-park/

This summer I was stuck close to home for a number of reasons but did get out to Waterton. Did a photo shoot of the Plains Bison, Pictures are on my blog https://patersonphotography.ca/2021/10/25/plains-bison-waterton-lakes-national-park/

I had a 1992 9'6" NL I bought back in the 2000's. It had some issues when I got it but nothing like yours. The one thing that I STRONGLY recommend is pull the windows and all the vents, clean, clean and clean and reseal really well when installing. Also clean the tracks on the windows so...

A word of warning. Before my current vehicle I had a class C which was a lot like the EKKO. I LOVED all the features. It was like a second home with EVERYTHING, no roughing it there. The issue was the width. First trip out on a paved road I head a weird sound. As I was trying to figure...
