Finally got around to moving the BT receiver. Arkto sent out an email describing the issue and fix with a video link. The hardware came shortly after that and in typical Arkto style, everything was well documented and easy to follow. Of course I deviated a bit from the instructions to better...

It was a dark time, we’ve moved on to trailers o_O

Out of the van game and have some leftovers to sell. $125 Goal Zero Boulder 100 solar panel. This worked great with our GZ, and comes with a 15ft extension cable and carrying case. $150 Pentair Shur-Flo Accumulator Tank, Pentair Shurflo Water Pump, KUS Display and water level sensor all...

Some photos from picking up my trailer last year

I was pretty set on getting a F150, but was worried about payload with two dirt bikes and the trailer tongue weight. I wish I could have made a Ranger work but the bed is a bit short for our extra curricular activities. Does the Ranger have different motor options like the F150?

@jaywo sorry if I missed it but why no interest in a trailer? Also wanted to add that we lifted our 2WD Transit and regretted it. We got some clearance for bigger tires but it drove terrible. I would not want another lifted Transit. One more thing to add, if you are looking for more...

We couldn't find a convenient place for a paper towel roll. Usually just tucked it in the cabinet and pulled it out as needed. Realized that I never use the handle on the fridge, just pull out that slide by the tray. So I removed the handle and match drilled a paper towel holder. Worked out...

Snapped some pictures of the light. I wasn't sure where I wanted to mount the light so I made the harness kinda long. I have a couple other lighting projects so I will trim that up and work on some better routing.

It’s a 22 F350, with the gas 7.3L motor and 10 speed transmission. Way overkill for the Arkto. I can only tell it’s there when seeing it in the mirror.

Got the camper out for one last 2023 trip last week, took some backcountry roads and enjoyed some cold nights with friends. Both of our pups just got out of bird dog school so we poked around looking for quail without much luck. 22 nights in the camper since picking it up in October.

Cool truck. I also added some upgraded fog lights (Diode Dynamics SS3s) but I wired them to the high beam trigger. There is a pre-made harness you buy or just go right into the stock harness. Unfortunately my truck doesn't have upfitter switches so I just wired directly to the high beam...

I've had good luck with white vinegar. Just pour some in a bowl and let it set in the fridge when not in use.

Thanks for making it worse 😂 Usually not much snow in ABQ, but we’ve been in the twenties already this week.

Sad to say it's time to winterize my trailer. I was hoping to get a few more trips in but that's not going to happen. This is my first time winterizing a trailer but the Arkto video makes it seem pretty easy.

35s! That would be cool to see. I’ve found a couple universal fit mud flaps, need some time with a measuring tape to figure out which ones will work. Like you mentioned, securing at the back of the wheel well or even at the base of the stabilizer. For last weekend I just hooked up the shower...

Hauled the Arkto out to Southwestern Utah (Hurricane) for the long weekend. Had a good amount of snow in the Kaibab NF and some sticky mud on Sheepbridge RD in the Hurricane Cliffs area. Trailer pulled easy and kept us warm for the weekend (lows in 20s). Saturday night was pretty windy so we set...

Good suggestions, thanks guys. I'd like to avoid rechargable/battery operated lights if possible. I know I'd forget to charge or have spares. But those lights you have suggested would be a good temp fix. Just looked over my order form and see that there was an option for an "Entry Door Window...

I really like all of the marker lights, no way you don't see this combo on a dark night. Still had some bad drivers in WA try to take me out though. Lake Loon with Murph the Goon.

First morning with the camper. This was a spot Aaron suggested right next to the river, a little bit into Banff. It was 20F that morning 🥶

and the photos: This was on the way out of Banff, whole place looks photoshopped. Lake Lillooet in BC
