Your post resonates with me, as I've been in a similar situation before and even now. When I first delved into truck campers, I had my eye on a pop-up for quite some time. They seemed appealing and everyone touted their lightweight nature compared to hard-sided ones. However, after much...

Looks great!! My top choice for a trailer. I LOVE FIBREGLASS!! Had a Northern Lite truck camper and the shell was the biggest selling point. SO much easier to maintain and much stronger than most other building material.

I think there are several reasons for this choice. Placing the stove near the door provides an easy way to ventilate smoke or odors. It also offers the convenience of being able to look outside while cooking, as long as the bugs aren't too bothersome. It is also easy to pass food out to someone...

In my opinion, I don't observe individuals who own Earthroamers selling them to upgrade to a new model. Instead, it seems to me that those who own Earthroamers have concluded that lifestyle and moved on to different experiences, such as acquiring a condominium at a resort or a cabin. Maybe even...

I tend to be stubborn!! ESPECIALLY when it should not be that difficult.:rolleyes::ROFLMAO:

I wanted to do a simple upgrade on my Transit headlights to LED. Bought the lights, installed and worked GREAT. Till I started the van. Then I got the warning that the bulbs were burnt out. Went to the supplier and they said that was not suppose to happen. I had to buy another type of bulb...

This year the wildlife has been VERY scarce in Alberta. We had a insanely hot spring and VERY dry since March, toss in the smoke and all that has changed the wildlife pattern for sure. I was out once this year earlier in the spring and was surprised I did not see more. Usually a lot of...

I had a TCer and LOVED it for so many reasons. One of the biggest that I did not like was not having the ability to go front to back. Moving my photo gear at least twice a day was a PAIN!! Leaving it up front WITHOUT access was a bad idea at night or if I stopped some place. The other...

No it is going strong I see at least a half dozen each day around the city. Strange part is I see ZERO when I am in the bush or camping. I think right now it has become the same as the kayak on the roof that gets put on when the snow melts and taken off when it falls and is seldom if ever in...

Cast Iron for cooking and defense :p

A toilet at the least! With a shower would be nice. There are just so many times that having a toilet is so much better then trying to find one or putting up with the mess and smell of the one toilet for 1000 people. I put a porta potti in my van and LOVE IT!!!! For the little space it takes...

My wrap because I got tired of hearing on TV & the movies that "The suspect was spotted in a plan white van" or "They were kidnapped by someone in a plain white van". Since then everyone is doing van graphics. At least now they can tell the police it was a white van with wilderness stuff on...

SO true!! I use to live and work in a national park. Have thought of buying a place there a number of times. Other then the CRAZY price two things that keep me from doing it are first having tourists looking in your windows, sitting on your deck, taking your lawn furniture and taking a dump...

One thing for security in a van or any camper. When you are away close the drapes and cover the front window. Many times opportunity thefts are a quick drive up smash and grab. With campers and closed drapes nobody knows what or who is inside. A good locked cupboard would be a second...

Wish they still made this van. Had so much going for it. Would buy one tomorrow in AWD and sell my Subaru and Transit. Was the perfect size and toughness for what I do 99% of the time.

There are a number of conversion companies that sell seats / bed systems. This is one that is local to me but do ship. https://www.wildernessvans.com/product-category/seats/

We have discussions going on about all the different selloffs of RV's of every type. Between interest rates going up, people not using them enough and people moving on it seems like everything is being sold or at least listed. Problem is that they are being listed for dream prices in most...

Every year we get at least one post about this exact same thing. Look back and there are lots of posts about cold weather camping / exploring.

Looks great!!! Probably better then many of the newer units.

I am in Canada and camp in -40. In those temps I never use the inside tanks of my tcer or Class C for many reasons (Filling is a pain, constant heat, trying to dump). I would winterize in October and fill in March. In my van I have everything inside (water jug for fresh and grey and a...
