Fleetwood Neon A Fleetwood Neon might fill your needs. They are small and robust (as tent trailers go). Ours has 6'4"+ standing head room throughout the 7' x 5' cabin, a 6'9" x 54" comfortable bed, room for 4 adults and a dog to sit around when it is cold, large vinyl windows, a real door, a...

What are the dimensions of the the cab-over sleeping area? Thanks, Howard

Craigslist! I agree with above post - check Craigslist frequently. I've purchased a lot of the OME alloy's for our 1987 & 2000 4runners as well as our 2004 TRD Tacoma and never paid more than $50 - usually able to get them for $30 - 40 and occasionally for $25. Just ignore that ads that want...

PayPal Sent Hello: Just sent PayPal payment for one organizer. Looking forward to getting it in our Neon! Thanks, Howard

Neon - Access to Space Behind Side Panels & What Supports Fenders? Hello TexGX: I've sorted out the switch at the end of the bed, the black metal flange was bent so contact with the switch wasn't happening. I'm trying to trace the wiring installed by the previous owner to remove the...

Yeah - I think that may be one issue. the previous owner mentioned that the furnace & lights stopped working so he and a buddy tried to troubleshoot the system. They rigged up a switch that obviously bypassed something and I couldn't figure out what - until seeing your message. I suspect the...

Cargo In Cabin or Separate Cargo Bed We have 2 4runners (87 and 2000) and a 2004 DC 4x4 Tacoma. The 2000 4runner is the most comfortable, the 87 4runner is the quaintest, but the 2004 Tacoma is the truck we use for all extended trips. One consideration I haven't seen mentioned in the previous...

Thanks Hello TexGX: Thanks for the quick reply. We picked up a Neon in Rawlins, WY off Craigslist. Spent a nice weekend driving up and back through the Colorardo Rockes gawking at yellowing aspen. Spent Saturday night in the trailer - sleeps great and tows better! Our has a furnace (the...

Neon In High Winds / Snow? My wife and I are considering a Neon. Has anyone here had theirs set up in high winds or moderate / heavy snow? I'm wondering how the top of the extended bed area handles the weight of snow and how the extended sides handle winds (lots of flapping, instability...

"Straight" Corrosion versus "Galvanic" Corrosion As several others have posted in this thread, my experience with aluminum and corrosive environments comes from maintaining an ocean going sailboat for many years. Proper alloys of aluminum by themselves are much more...

Thule or Yakima Tracks Directly to Cab We installed Thule (or Yakima, I can't remember which) directly to the roof of the cab on our 2004 DC. We mounted them as far outboard as possible to get the weight over the pillars and off the potentially weaker sheet metal of the inboard sections of the...

Frame Rust Warranty Extension Reading the pdf documents posted earlier in this thread (thanks Oliver L.) looks like the warranty extension covers 1995 - 2000 Tacomas. SSBAJ is looking at a 2001 so isn't the extended warranty a mute point for the truck he's examining? Howard

Hello Chris: It's a lot easier to install them than to remove them. Follow the suggestions above (install the different clips in the proper places into the flare and then line the flare up and pop it in). I ended up buying new clips, but I don't remember it that was because I broke the...

Great Trailer Just wanted to say that these are great trailers. We have one that we used as the basis of our support vehicle for bicycle racing for several years. It was flawless. Howard L. Snell

If You Mount On Bike Gooseberry: This may be too late, but if you decide that you want to mount it on the bike (I don't mean to argue with others who prefer carrying it on their bodies), I found the RAM mount perfect when I carried mine on a Husqvarna 610. There's a photo attached. They are...

x2 ARE with Windoors. The side access is incredible and our truck is a short bed. Windoors would seem even more essential on a long bed. Our Windoors have sliding screens in the middle so you can get ventilation if you want. Howard Snell

More than 400 miles takes work..... RMP&O: I don't blame you - I've had a hard time wringing that kind of mileage out of the truck! I do keep the rpms below 2,500 - rarely exceeding 65 unless I'm on the short stretch of downhill on I25 between Albuquerque and Isleta. The rest of my commute...

I use our 2000 4runner for my 80 mile/day commute and have been trying to get my greatest range out of a single tank of fuel. Today was my best so far - 460.4 miles. Filling the tank took 17.3 gallons which works out to about 26.6 m/g. If the tank is 18.9 gallons total (not sure about that) I...

I'm not sure, but I think it might have to do with how much the bumper is predicted to compress in a hard headon collision. I've heard that the airbag sensors are set assuming a certain amount of "cushioning" (crumple!) from the stock bumper. If an aftermarket bumper compresses less then it...

Hello Kurt: Thanks again - I realized the difference between the two clips and their placements and I appreciate the confirmation! Howard
