    Espar Airtronic and Webasto Air Top

    Hmm...this thread is a bit disheartening. Apologies up front if I missed this in this thread or the Webasto website. The highest altitude discussed here is 7,000ft ASL. Not to sound snooty, but that's not hard to achieve in North America or South America on a routine trip through, say...

    Santa Came Early... Finally got my Bike..

    www.f650.com The Chain Gang isn't what it used to be back in 2002-2006 but it's still the best resource out there.

    Military Issue - great starting point

    That's pretty slick....if parking is tight at the campground, you can always slingload it in :sombrero: .

    Camper and Truck Photos

    You must have a whole tribe of wussy campers....an Outfitter PLUS an Airstream! My tribe of wussy campers is small so we're able to get away with just a small pop-up and a coupla Kermit chairs to round out the glamping ensemble :D .

    Why does "size matter" in N.America???

    My explanation follows.... America has been a country of abundance since its inception....abundant freedom to get out from under English rule, abundant land to build a farm, abundant land to increase your herd and abundant space to expand west. With the advantages of the Industrial Revolution...

    Full size truck aftermarket or custom front bumpers.. post pics

    I'd steer clear of Road Armor. All the ones (`14-20) I've seen in Afghanistan were falling off the trucks. I'd be comfortable saying they're not much more than cosmetic enhancement.

    Want a Flippac for my 07 Tundra - Finance question

    Don't most banks offer unsecured signature loans for this? The interest rate will be higher than an auto or RV loan but provided your credit bill of health is fine, there shouldn't be much difficulty in financing one. Because it's a niche product, I think it will behoove you to send them...

    Making my Uro-Camper Kubic 1.0

    Nice job! The use of space for storage is well done. On an unrelated note, I really liked the soundtrack to the first video...it sounded like a Gustavo Cerati song (big fan).

    1st generation Tundra or new Tacoma for FWC?

    My Fleet is on an '02 Taco. The reasons behind a Toyota Tacoma purchase were several.... 1) reliability and minimal TSBs 2) OEM parts and aftermarket accessory availability 3) proven capability on rought track 4) simplicity (no traction assistance features) 5) manual transmission (which wasn't...

    Pop Up Camper Mounnted on a Trailer, Good idea or ...

    I would think a pop-up truck camper mounted on a trailer would make for difficult entry and exit given that it's probably much lower to the ground.

    Deep snow over night

    Yep, it's a pretty good website although it's had some disappointing turns lately. I haven't found another website that has as wide a range of topics to choose from for vehicle-based travelling but the website seems to have developed more into a crossroads for vendors than travelers. It's a...

    Deep snow over night

    Moreso than wider tires, I'd emphasize siping and a narrower tire which will cut through the snow better. YMMV...

    1st generation Tundra or new Tacoma for FWC?

    First, I think you're in the right ballpark for a solid, used vehicle for trails, extended traveling and the like. I'd buy a 1st Gen Tundra without hesitation. Second, the camper...unless you have special needs such as storage for extra equipment, wetsuits, bicycles, etc or a closet for...

    Deep snow over night

    Once again, Subaru Outbacks can be found in the craziest places in stock trim. My assumption is your truck is 4WD. If that's the case, I don't think you need to do much given the clearance is probably greater than almost all MYs of Outbacks. Other than lift the windshield wipers on your truck...

    How Ford plans to phase out the best-selling E-Series

    I read one of the individual commentaries which included AWD, 6sp, turbo diesel and van conversion to an RV in one sentence....I know it's forum dreaming but that would be a pretty attractive platform for a conversion. However, manual transmissions are getting rarer and rarer these days so...

    Does anyone actual live out of their vehicle?

    That'll do her until the trash can's full or the toilet backs up and then (y)our bad habits are once again somewhat forgiveable.

    Four Wheel Campers Educational Video Series . . .

    Diggin' the Euro export interior / exterior colors !! Good video on all the new LED light options. FWIW, we like the interior flap windows....no leaks and early morning / late night privacy screen adjustments are a cinch. Last, I'm not a marketing guy but I'd think these simple videos are an...
