With a forum name like that, it's hard not to assume you're at Carson. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did. We liked it so much we had our daughter there :) .

These tires look perfect!

Ford and I might be warming up to the Dodge (even though I'm disappointed they required a bailout). No Chevy or GMC. I'm looking at a 200k cut-off for miles if I go with a 7.3-gen Ford. If I pick a late model 6.0 liter Ford, then sub-100k miles because that's about when the EGR problems...

Thank you everybody for the great insight and advice. Up to now I've been fixated on Fords, both the '00 to '02 MY 7.3 liter models and also an '05 to '06 MY 6.0 liter model with a clean OASIS report (knowing I might still have to dump about $5k under the hood to make it bulletproof). Those...

Cool...new photos of an XP. I've been jonesing for some new eye-candy!

Thought I'd post an update for the long range planners. Our Fleet will definitely be up for sale given we've recently purchased another, larger pop-up camper. Since I bought it in 2009, I have been out of the country two years so it has maybe 30-some nights of camping in it. For planning...

We wanted a camper we could be confident taking to remote parts of the world for an extended period. We wanted a camper that we knew wouldn't leak — and even if it did leak, that it wouldn't matter, because water wouldn't ruin the framing. We wanted a camper that avoided the typical RV...

Serving. Federal mandates for U.S. passenger auto industry implementation was on model year 2007 vehicles so an '06 should be able to burn regular diesel sold in South America (shipping destination of the truck). Don't think I can get around computers unless I go with a much older MY.

For me the best way to answer the question about the rear locker was identifying the intended use of it....to probe further into difficult terrain or to get past / out of difficult terrain? For me and the big, honkin' camper I bought, the ARB locker in the rear will be about making it past a...

The only other things I can think to add to the above is, first, we think the XP's all-white interior coupled with the rear dinette will make for a more spacious feeling interior which will be important for "the big retirement trip" my wife and I intend to make in a couple of years...

Super campers...well-made, rugged yet entirely comfortable. Lot of flexibility in design tweaks and components. Spectacular customer service, too.

While not a hardside but a pop-up, I think you would be impressed with the quality of product that Hallmark RV manufactures. They were my first choice (up to a build deposit) until my wife decided she wanted an XP. Anyways, we've visited the Hallmark factory twice and I can confidently say...

My second home, Afghanistan.

I also forgot to add I have some particular requirements... SuperCab Manual transmission Manual transfer case Diesel - but NOT an ULSD model Long wheelbase Salt-free state No engine modifications White, grey or silver...even red's OK, but no black A patridge in a peartree

So, I bought a camper (~3k lbs wet & packed) which mounts to a flatbed and now I need a bigger truck. Where do you guys "shop" other than www.autotrader.com? I see folks finding/buying great trucks that I never see online. www.commercialtrucktrader.com hasn't been very helpful. I haven't...

If Marc and Chris can nail the cab-to-camper portal, they will likely be a huge success at competing with the EarthCruiser at a much lower price point. Granted, the EarthCruiser will offer much more living and storage space but the "XPanagon" will be a categorical competitor.

Delivery for our full-size XP is set for May 2013. Brave, new world, champagne on the bow and all that jazz.

We ended up buying a full-size XP. We love Hallmark's product (especially the bamboo and stainless steel interior) and their customer service is superb but in the end my wife and I think the XP will be the best fit for our family. The prime reasons are: the homologated Webasto design the "bay...

Stand by for a major update....

FWIW for prospective buyers, yesterday I secured a custom Hallmark Everest build with Webasto diesel appliances (Dual Top and X100) for a single source fuel solution (pre-2007 diesel truck). The truck and camper combo are for an international trip my wife and I want to make so I'm posting...
