He did the same thing before the San Marcos guy took over. Just Craigslist ads with his personal phone number.
He’s old school. We‘ll be lucky to see a website.
I just wish his campers weren’t so heavy. Newer trucks can’t handle weight of the heavy campers on the bed rails without...
Good news...

Is the Summit permanently mounted to the Ute tray? Or can is be removed? And if so would you consider separating the Summit?

Great info on the...
Hello.
I've been researching upgrading from my current '03 Dodge QCLB to a newer (2010-2015) full size Ram 3500 or F350. Basically the early Dodge crew cabs just don't have enough leg room in the back for our two kids (6 & 8 plus dog) on trips longer than 4 hours. The kids are troopers and do...

Sweet set-up.
Perfect surf, Baja, mountains all-purpose rig.
If I wasn't committed to the pop top camper for the family, I'd be considering this!
