Huge leap in $ to go from a FWC/ATC/Phoenix to a XPCamper...not disparaging the XP at all, just an observation that there are pop-ups and then there are POP-UPS but they're nowhere close in price range. Biggest discriminator in the generations of a lot of pop-ups is the interior...FWC recently...

Lotsa drama today over the mudbog....tough news for Coma, I think. Go NED !!

That's lovely.

They're part of my motorcycle and pop-up packing list; I never leave home without them. The little clip-on cupholders are great for keeping a sweaty beer bottle clean of pine straw and dirt.

Sounds like it. I could see $600 or even $700 (if that includes the bed) but that price sounds too high. I had my 6.5' truck bed line-x'd in 2010 for $425 in Colorado Springs (Colorado is typically an expensive state). What size truck do you have? Even if it's a long bed, the prep along the...

It appears Stage 6 has been cancelled due to weather. From the Dakar webpage. http://www.dakar.com/dakar/2012/us/stage-5/live-feed.html Due to the bad weather continuing over the Andes Cordillera (rain and snow), the Chilean authorities were forced to close, for the night, the border at Paso...

Now at 45th after Stage 5 and no penalties.......GO NEDURO !!

Clark, Are the Rev'it! pants still holding up? BTW, you are the MAN for hossin' that Gummi Kuh around.

Thanks, Kurt....your endorsement is gold.

Visual learner here. You mean a short pop-up which leaves you with 24" of bed space at the rear, correct? That's not a bad idea but I agree with docdave....go for a camper that fits the length of your bed (provided your truck can haul the weight) so you're as comfortable as possible in the...

Stellar post, Prybry. Thanks!

54th overall (amongst bikes)...he's doing great! http://www.sbs.com.au/dakar/results/index/v/bikes/sts/overall/p/2#results-block

FWC offers an indoor shower like a previous poster described (plastic tub situated on the floor with a drain spout inserted into a hole in the floor) on their Keystone model.

WOW!! Tough news :( .

Rotopax would be my choice or you might be able to squeeze in a Hi Lift.

These toolboxes (link below) should fit pretty well under a standard pop-up. The two lengths (48" and 72") will fit even a small Toyota pickup (all bed lengths) so you should be good for a longer flatbed, too. The height is only 16" so you shouldn't run into interference there, either. The...

Crazy? Not at all. You have a great plan and the money in reserve if the worst case scenario comes true. Good work on the budget shopping. I hope I'm as fortunate to line everything up the way you have. Is this for a truck camper? Best of luck with the build.
