    Additional storage

    Well I have a trailer to haul in the summer with all the extras, or when I am taking a group out, but for when I want to use the truck for a quick run someplace with one or two people towing the trailer is overkill if all I want is the barbeque. I can fit my inflatable kayak, actually both...

    Utility Bed Install with Popup Camper

    WOW looks amazing, one of the better mods that I have seen. Clean and useful. If you need something to do I have a truck that could use that same treatment. :)

    1977 Pop Up Camper Rebuild

    I am curious - This may be a stupid question (or you may have addressed it already) but why are you mounting the water cans on the side? Will this not add more wear to the strap that is holding them in with vibration and movement, and have more chances of them falling out? Would it not be...

    Having difficulty with selecting a sleeping site while traveling...

    First thing as mentioned before is that you may want to talk to someone, it may be nothing but better to see if there is something there. Second you may be trying to camp in a way that is not comfortable for you. I really like a hard sided camper. I like the feeling of home that I have and...

    Sunsets

    Well I was suppose to be out shooting birds and animals this weekend in Southern Saskatchewan. BUT due to the fact that my new 500mm lens never arrived I had a change in location and ended up staying close to home. The sun set was amazing thanks to some fires in Montana.

    Wildlife Photography

    This past weekend in Many Glacier (Glacier Park Montana). Was there for a family event but stopped for this mom and baby. Only had a 200mm with me (would have loved to have my 600mm - next time) so I did some cropping on the computer. Gives me a reason to head back in a couple weeks with a...

    Hello, sorry to hear about breaking the window. How did it happen? I have often wondered how much the window would take. So far no glass issues. I know that the size of the window is strange (at least on my unit) so getting a piece of glass to fit would not be easy. I used Lexan for my...

    My first camper! So exciting!

    I don't want to get this thread off topic but after doing research on this for years there is no law on the books in any province or state that requires that propane in an RV needs to be turned off - a lot of assumptions and some scare tactics used on web sites - but no laws. Many manufacturers...

    My first camper! So exciting!

    Can you advise where you got this information as far as I know neither is true - I drive with propane on all the time for the fridge and heater, know many others that do as well and never have had or heard of a problem. Also the only time that I know of it being illegal to have propane on is on...

    Canon Service

    Considering the cost to replace (even with a cheaper version of the body) and that was a great deal!

    Fridge Question

    I have done a lot of the research and I am leaning this way with a couple exceptions; - one is the size. With the chest type I will be loosing a lot of space from what I see, with the built in this is less of a problem but not sure about power consumption on the large units. Now many times...

    Fridge Question

    My fridge (3 way absorbsion model) in my Tcer is acting up. I am thinking of replacing it with an electric fridge, I heard that there is a model that can run vertically like a normal fridge, is this true?

    Jacks--don't leave home without them?

    My TC stays on 365 days a year and I still keep the jacks on. I like them to help stabilize the camper when camping, also if I ever get a flat tire and need to take some of the weight off the truck I would use them for that.

    Hello, first post and advice needed on liveaboard overlander..

    I saw a Sprinter the other day that was a cargo version converted to a RV. What was the difference? They did not put any windows in the back. Great for stealth camping and security. I had to look a couple times at the awning, furnace exhaust and the bikes on the back that gave it away as...

    Hello, first post and advice needed on liveaboard overlander..

    Love that Durashell, gives a lot of options. I would only go with one side window and a back window as well as a escape hatch on the roof. That would keep your "exposure" down for people being able to see in and keep your security up. My concern would be about the insulation, if any. Would...
