Dug myself out in the mornng and went down to low ground for some easy glamping in a pleasant valley. I really like the spare tire location. There's a handy impromptu shelf for odds and ends, such as when I'm working really hard making dinner. Motored along the next day. You can...

So, to get back on track chronologically... We got to this lake shy of Bolam Pass and decided we'd head further up the pass to camp on our own. Made a couple of switchbacks no problem. Made it through a couple of snow patches (thanks to an early Spring trailblazer) no problem. Made it to...

Total weight of the truck or total weight of the truck and camper? Don't know either one yet....Going to scale the truck and camper together soon, though. Truck feels great at highway speeds. See post #8 for a detailed explanation.

LOL...just noticed the OP posted three years ago. He's probably already bought and sold a camper and has everything figured out for his needs.

What's the climate like where you intend to live "in" your camper? Where do you like to camp (i.e, KOAs or remote BLM / FS sites?) I think you'll be fine while traveling because of the four doors but once you get to your destination, the usual camping clutter of four people (which you will...

Must've been Clear Creek county.....home turf, that is. Thanks for the props.

Wow....Word Man strikes again with the death ray of Paragraph Power.

Due to technical problems posting photos, I've fast forwarded in time to near the end of our trip to offer some observations about the XP V1. We've been on the road from California to Florida for 30+ days now and have been in Florida for a week. Our bodies took about 48 (intimidating) hours to...

Sorry for the delay on the photos...we're between houses, my laptop burned up in a fire so I've just got my iPad for the timebeing and I still don't know what the problem is with the photos :coffee: .

Thanks, Henrik. Your website is VERY helpful and the format is easy to navigate.

I can't find the research specs I dug up but the wheels are specifically for the SuperDuty. Mmm, probably not. I went with the ATX Mojaves simply because www.treaddepot.com gave me a great deal on them while ordering six wheels and six tires. I also remember (sometimes faulty) wanting to...

I wouldn't discount Hallmark's Bluewater Coosa. They can do balsa, aluminum and Coosa. The characteristics and quality of Coosa are convincing.

FWC is relatively close to you and they're a great company who can do retrofits. I'd go nuts with that couch arrangement but that's me. I second looking for a Hallmark. They're a cut above in comfort and quality (IMO) and a super company (the Ward family) to deal with. Their dinettes are...

Thanks for all the positive comments, answers and recommendations so far. I've sent an e-mail to the site administrator to try to figure out why my picture uploads were sporadically working and now not working at all. I still have some nice photos and insight I'd like to share.

Well, that's unfortunate. I've been enjoying the great braking performance of a full-size truck. Any insight on some high-quality aftermarket rotors with the same dimensions as the OE disks? Hopefully I can R&R the rotors only without getting on a slippery slope of binders and then SS braided...

Got to this small lake and thought it would be perfect. However, there were three guys in lawn chairs at the lake's edge with a big bottle of whiskey. I didn't think much of that but when one got up, he was carrying hardware. Crap...I was outgunned and these guys were drinking. It didn't...

Arizona seems like a pretty cool state but nothing beats going home wherever that might be for folks. For us, it's Colorado. Well, kinda. I've only lived there 12 months out of the past 20 years and my wife squeaked in 24 months. Really, for me, home is wherever my wife is. Right now, until...

Uhmm, where were we? Leaving Bulletproof Diesel with a clean bill of health, a totally slick oil filter relocation job and a full tank of gas, headed to our second and third waypoints....four-wheeling and househunting (for retirement) in Colorado. First night of camping on our way out of...

Somehow a short post from OE '13 got dumped. My wife enjoyed the kid and pet-friendly hotel room :) . She also REALLY enjoyed how quickly the dinette goes from mealtime to bedtime for our daughter. Without any effort, my wife drops the table down to some teak ledges and then peels off the...

For the past year we've been settled on shipping in January 2015 but our daughter's education is the big factor influencing our start date. We're currently front-loading our daughter through normal activities she's interested in to earn us wiggle room to take half a year off without missing out...
