I have a Kelty 2 person backpacking tent that hasn't been used in maybe 10 years. I bought it back in the early 90's when I was in Scouting. I set it up in the rec room the other day in hopes of using it this past weekend but when I did it was sort of wrinkly and felt dirty. Figuring that it...

Since I officially began cutting and working on my Gov't surplus M101A3 trailer the other day I figured I'd start a thread on what all I'm doing before I got too far into it. About a year ago, November, I purchased this trailer off of Craigslist in very good condition. It had the side rails...

Figured this may be of interest to some here. I recently took my truck bed off to replace an in tank fuel pump. While it was off was a good time to pressure wash some 'hard to reach spots' and give things a look-see. When I was getting ready to put it back on I figured I'd weight it. I know...

So the power converter in my truck camper has left my house batteries fried because I left the camper plugged in and apparently never thought to check the battery fluid level and that the converter was charging 100% of the time. I need to come up with a better charging plan as I'm about to put...

I've been looking at compressors for my truck for a while and was pretty settled on the Puma 1.5 gal 12 volt compressor until I found that Viair also makes an all in one system as well. They have a few different flavors depending on your needs and the major differences is in the compressor on...

Well ever since one of my first work trips to New Mexico and first learned about these things I wanted one. They seemed like a perfect campfire or camp cooking vessel when space allows. On my last trip to Las Cruces I finally found what I was looking for so I nabbed one and brought it back...

So I'm mapping out my 'network' of equipment for my Dodge and I wanted to run it by some of you to check my thinking... My goal is... -to have as few wires run as possible and to have them all hidden -to have a central hub that everything can communicate through -to have as few things to have...

When building an expedition style trailer, how many of ya'll have used trailer axles with brakes? Are they worth the extra cost and wiring for such a small trailer?

I know a lot of you folks have JK's with trailers. Would anyone be interested in a pair of JK rubicon wheels for their offroad trailer? I have a lead on a set of 5 but only need 3 for my trailer project and splitting the cost to break up a full set would be nice. They do have 33" bfg km2...

Ok, so how many are truely happy with the mattress that came in their camper? How many have replaced it for a thicker foam mattress or added a 'topper' to it? And my ultimate question for this thread... how many have replaced it with a traditional home mattress? I have a ~3" foam camper...

So I've been thinking about putting a microwave in my truck camper but am having a hard time giving up the space for it. I've looked at all the box stores and they all have cheap microwaves and some are pretty small but I imagine they won't last. One that I just looked at at Target was about...

For those who've built their own trailers and incorporated a telescoping trailer tongue, do you use it? Is it worth it? Would it be better to just set the length, weld it solid, and be done with it? Did you use 2.5" in a 3" tube or did you use 2" in a 2.5" tube? I'm working out the design...

So I haven't used our camper in the past few weeks and have left the side crank out windows open and the front slider open as well. Water can't get in since the windows are sloped down and the front one is covered by the overhead. I was thinking it would be a good idea to keep it from getting...

What size generator do most of ya'll run (if any)? I know this is a general question that can be complicated with variables but I'm talking about the average pop up camper that only has a few 110v accessories like AC, and battery charging. I have no other 110v items unless something is plugged...

Well after what seems like years of wanting a camper to get out and about with, the wait is finally over. A week ago we purchased a Starcraft Pine Mountain Lonestar slide in pop up truck camper and so far have been very pleased. Knowing how much everyone likes pictures, I'll use this as my...

Hey first time poster but I've been lurking around the site for a while. Just got registered when this came across my table. I've run across a used Jayco pop up slide in truck camper that I'm wanting ya'lls opinion on. Some background... my wife and I have been long time campers but with...
