Is your Kenai already on the move? How did you know that? This could be the week! Oh and also better brakes/rotors etc on the 3/4 ton+.

The roof top tent works in the winter I'm told (by more than one family), I haven't done it personally obviously. I chatted with a family that sleeps their kids up there in bags down to around 20d iirc. They said that the only issue was that there was some frozen condensation on the roof of...

We've put the family in the Yoho at a dealer before. Definitely a no-go because of the sleeping situation. Olympic or Kenai are solid options tho. I know a guy outside of PDX that has 3 kids and is mobbing every week to camp at a ski resort. The love the thing and have it on a Tundra with...

What are your thoughts on keeping it cool enough when the temps are high?

If the temps aren't ultra-hot, our plan is to use marine fans like the sailboat guys do. Caframo makes some that are ultra efficient and move about 300CFM iirc. I'll likely wire in one or two their Siccoro gimble fan on some thumb screws and mount on the metal ceiling brackets. Should be able...

Yeah I'm not sure on this but I did have an idea that might work. Any time you are running an AC you'll be connected to mains or on a small Honda 3000 generator (something like that). My thought was that one of those portable standup generators would definitely do the trick. I think honeywell...

Yeah I confirmed there is still the internal hatch with the Roofnest.

I got an email update from Scout. They said they were struggling to get product from a couple 3rd Parties (Covid). So the colored fabric uppers are now only that same grey as the others. They also switched from the Roost tent to the Roofnest Falcon XL. I like the change a lot. I'm sure its...

Fwiw the FWC dealers told me theirs are over 12mo out to get one.

Just a quick FYI on getting solid mounting points in my truck bed for the Scout Camper. I have the bolt on stock bed tie downs in my 2005 F250. No one, including Ford, was able to comment on their weight capacity and plenty of people I spoke with were skeptical of using them for the camper tie...

We ordered August 20th about an hour after they released it for preorder.

How did you end up mounting and venting the toilet? I'm interested in the location you chose for the vent (up high or off to the side etc). Seems like a lot of hose to run everything out the top but I'm not sure I want the toilet (I have an Airhead on order) vented out the side where we...

Yeah I'm slated for early Feb at the moment. Ours is built as well but also waiting for parts. Fwiw this is happening to other stuff I'm buying as well (NL fridge etc) and the 3rd Party component manufacturers that Scout uses are also struggling to get stuff. Its like this nearly everywhere...

I ordered within the first 1.5hr of them opening so I'm part of the "first batch". But I'm not sure on the delivery date anymore. May is WAAY further out than I would have expected. @PNWExpo how did they communicate the delay to you...or did you just email them/ryan and they told you May...

I've had some good emails with Elliot at Airhead that might be helpful: (since the bucket is sealed mostly and actively ventilated, I don't think the humidity here in the PNW will be an issue...I'll know in about 8 weeks tho :)) Q: Are there any concerns/issues about using the toilet in a...

So the Airhead Marine seat will fit perfectly in the toilet area space (which is 25.5" north-south and 17 7/8" east-west) it seems. A few options to vent it, and you can tap into the 12V power that runs to the tiny computer fan on the Dickenson I'm sure. (this uses a similar small computer case...

Thanks John, that helps a lot. I've gone down the rabbit hole but its good to hear from people that aren't Vanlifing it for 6mo and using it. Different use-case with different potential issues, tho it seems like its the right way to go. (pun intended).

Very cool. It makes when you talk about distributing the load via the wood backplate. Sounds like just straight up gluing the bracket to the wall works well for a certain degree of load as well. That's good news. Pretty easy to glue stuff and it sure beats drilling holes into the camper!

Thanks :) So...glue? TC Korapop adhesive must be some tough stuff. I wonder how that works long term holding some weight without the plywood baseplate. Sounds like you def put some weight on it. Not sure that would work for mounting some L-Track....but maybe it'd be perfect if I used/glued...

Hey another quick newbie question about mounting heavy-ish stuff to the composite walls/ceiling. 1- How is it done? Do you just find some metal backer plate and then bolt through the wall and through the backer plate with some fancy sealant? I watched some of your videos...is there one that...
