I think your missing something here. Build your unit and put a cooler in it. Go on a long trip to some country that has lower prices for fridge. Remove cooler replace with lower price fridge then go home :ROFLMAO::unsure::(:p
That seems high but you are now heating a bigger space then what a truck camper would be. As an example for a tcer when I was using my truck camper over a winter which would include probably two dozen days of really cold I would not even drain a full 20lb tank - I did have two on board but had...
Had an older NL and loved it. Sold it because I could not go from the front to the back, not because of the unit or the build. -30c and no issues but I did go dry camping below freezing. Also made some storm windows as my windows were single pane. The newer NL's are even better,
There are a...
I needed a way to save on my fuel costs. So I decided to install a nuclear power system in the van. Unlimited power so never need to buy fuel again!!! Don't need solar panels either :rolleyes:
Can just see going through the border when some border guard sees the symbol on the cover :p :p :p...
Been a while. If you are interested in following the Turtle III I am now on Facebook and Instagram. Easier to update.

So this past week I was heading to some doctor's appointments out of...
I have camped in insane temperatures in gear that was not made for it because I was young. I have camped in insane temperatures in equipment that was designed for it. I have a vehicle that is 1' outside my studio door that can go all winter in crazy temps and I would survive very well. BUT I...
Honestly to answer your questions we really need a lot more information. To start when you say start after being off for a time how long are you talking? If it is more then a day running the vehicle that long is not wise. You may find more things breaking with just letting it idle for days on...
Your propane furnace does not add humidity to your camper. A Buddy or other internally vented units will but a furnace will not. Always good to open vents and windows in the morning to dry out.
I went with a medium roof as I can stand up (just) and it makes it seem so much larger. If you are spending a lot of time inside, extreme cold temps, get something that is comfortable. Reason I did not go high roof is that I did not need it and the little less wind resistance was GREAT!!
WOW it is nice to know that the next time I am climbing a roller ramp which vehicles would make it. Honestly I prefer real world use then tests like this. But hat is probably just me.
One was reason that I went to a van from a truck camper was to have the ability to go from the front to the back. We were camped one time with the TCer and a group of young redneck kids showed up. We had to leave the camper and get into the truck. Fortunately no problem as we bailed before...
Remember if you can let water out then water can get in. I would do more to prevent water from getting in then putting a lot of holes in. I had two holes in mine at the rear under the storage and in the dump valves and I found that spray from the tires in a heavy rain would get water in.
It seems like a number of companies need to do some hiring of talented staff. ONe or two people even from larger companies do all the heavy work while others just pass the buck!!!
When I was looking at buying a trailer a Creek Side was on the top of the list. They had the best build quality of the ones that I looked at and were capable of being useful in colder temps where other units just could not do it!
Nice looking rig!!!
I was in the same place as you with wanting to remove the jacks as I never took my camper off. Had the tools out several times to do that. Never did and glad numerous times I didn't. Was nice to drop the jacks in the wind or when I wanted a solid camper to walk in when in...
My van in hot or cold weather is GREAT. With just the vehicle heat/air it stays at a perfect temperature when driving and stays at that temp for a while when I stop.
There is a local company here that builds the vans and rents them through another company. GREAT idea to try a van to see if you like it and are comfortable driving one before buying. Also if you are flying in and want one or just need one once or twice a year.
