FWIW, mine on a FS PU (2nd gen Tundra) is right at 8’ at the rear edge and 7’9” front edge. That’s unloaded. My truck has about a 2” front lift and 3” rear (again unloaded) on 34s. The camper has the 10” cabover extra height. With the fan/vent I use 8’6” as my minimum height clearance when...

Thanks for the detailed description; that helps. The cove moulding looks promising

Do you have a picture of that setup? I’ve been thinking of making a similar “splitter” airdam and looking for the right material. How did you attach that stuff to the camper? And did the cove material damage the paint on the truck roof?

Interesting and counterintuitive!

So what is the turning radius in feet? Just curious as that was a consideration for me in going with a Tundra over the domestics. Not trying to compare a 1/2 ton to a F450, but inquiring minds …

Battleborn has some non-auto-standard configurations

Dang — that guy does great work! He knows how to make an effective video too.

DFG Offroad makes great slides. Lightweight (aluminum) but strong.

Talk to Deaver or Alcan and get good progressive HD spring set for the actual weight you’ll be living with. If the trailer is occasional Air bags are OK, but you really want the right springs. Great camper build!

Glad you’re back on the road and doing OK!

No. They’re stretched tight on the Ovrlnd. There’s no real flapping, partly because there aren’t tall sections like there are on wedge campers and are supported by the hinge mechanism front and rear. We’ve been in very windy conditions up to around 45 or 50 miles an hour in gusts and been...

For barn doors (as long as you can deal with a pop-up) look at Ovrlnd campers in Flagstaff (https://campovrlnd.com/). Also look at the Ovrlnd owners thread here for info and build out. Jay will build custom and if you really have to have hard sides, I’m betting he would do that too. We love...

I don’t really think so. You can’t go buy some marine exhaust fitting or something like that the way you can with some other other heaters — you just need to use their specific fittings. I think one compelling argument for the Trumas, especially if you can get the Eco at a reasonable price, is...

Ahh… I misread that. Thanks for the correction. Now the gas usage specs for the Eco make more sense

So that’s a screaming deal in many ways if you can get it shipped to the US at a reasonable price. I’d look at the installation manual before ordering — there’s a some specific requirements. A few things to keep in mind: This appears to be a newer variant of the Vario — the Eco. What I have...

Yeah, they’re ridiculous. largely due to the fact that Truma won’t sell directly to consumers in the US out of litigation fears. Consumers can buy them directly in Europe and I understand they’re more reasonable there.. But, they work absolutely great. I have found that repeating clichés such...

Another Truma Vario fan here.

Best I can do is some screen shots. As far as growth, trees up there don’t grow much or fast. You’ll see its a scrawny cedar type tree. Maybe it was moved, but they didn’t think so. Who knows!

I’ve had one of these for 3 years, and it’s been great. For various reasons, I need to relocate it in my camper with the battery separate from the Powerpack. National Luna sells the exact same front control panel as a separate item for remote use, but with mounting flanges. The front control...

And especially don’t blindly trust random spotters or would be rescuers!
