Retrofitting the Propex in the TT hadn't occurred to me. Some refitting with quick release type fittings on the gas inlet and its physical attachments to camper could be replaced with thumb screws, or better yet cam locks, intake and exhaust are hose clamps so that wouldn't be to tough. I...

While I'm sure that National Luna system is a nice piece of kit that's a LOT of scratch for a solenoid, some wire and battery meter. You could build yourself a nicer system for half the price with some welding wire off ebay and a fancy Blue Sea ACR (automatic Charging Relay) some terminals and...

I have been looking for a topper for my Tundra for over a year and just happened to stumble across one on Craigslist, 35 miles away, color matched for $450. Needles to say I snapped it up right away. My desire for a topper was to be a little more streamlined while overlanding than we can be...

Price, location?

I would imagine you have seen this but if not here is a link http://forum.expeditionportal.com/threads/159808-Off-road-Teardrop-for-Sale

Camper is still available... PM SENT

Thank you both for the replies. After posting I watched a couple videos from FWC on the issue, much easier than previously thought

I may be purchasing a used Hawk later this week. I don't think I will have time to install the proper eye bolts and hardware before the trip. I don't think I will have time to remove my plastic bed liner either. It's going to be a 15 hour drive home so I wanted to get the forums opinion and...

VMI offroad makes some amazing trailers and campers. They are not cheap and last I heard there is a fairly long wait to have one built but in the end you would have an extremely tough, offroad camper that could fit your clan. This one starts at $35,900...

No Max coupler. I thought it would be mandatory but I was pleasantly surprised at the articulation you can get out of a regular hitch. We were planning on having one put in when we did the other work on the suspension and frame reinforcement but couldn't get on in time. We figured we would...

Naters, I didn't look at it that way but you are so right. The difference in price and length isn't enough to make up what a tow or cold night in the mountains would cost me. I'll go with the heavier rope.

http://forum.expeditionportal.com/threads/159808-Off-road-Teardrop-for-Sale this is still for sale. I think we could meet somewhere in the middle price wise if we remove the propex heater that you may not need. That would leave a perfect spot for a small air conditioner if you wanted. No...

Thanks for the info. I feel pretty confident about doing the splicing, guess my main concern is using the lighter rope with a 12,300lb. strength over the more expensive shorter rope with an 18,000lb. strength. Any feedback on that would be greatly appreciated.

I found myself in a tough spot yesterday, stuck in deep spring snow with the consistency of ball bearings. I was traveling down a steep canyon and got stuck going down. I didn't have enough winch line to winch backwards so had no choice but to winch myself down and deeper into the canyon...

Thank you all for your input and questions answered. My better half and I have decided to move forward with a popup truck camper of some sort. Will probably go with a used one that needs a little refurb to save $ and with the idea that if it doesn't work out for us we can sell it without...

7 inch lift sounds like a lot but it's not all monster truck tall and tippy. It's pretty well balanced off-road, even loaded to the gills. I don't think I'd go rock crawling with a camper in back but I don't really do that anyway. Ron, can you fill me in on what you are referencing above in...

I wasn't aware of the supporting the floor issue mentioned above. That in itself may necessitate leaving it on or possibly reinforcing the floor. My thought on taking it off at basecamp isn't that it can't handle the off roading we do, or that it would make the places we go harder to get to...

I'm sure this has been asked a thousand times but here goes anyway. We are thinking about moving away from, or for different adventures, our teardrop to a FWC hawk popup. Currently we drop our teardrop at a campsite and take our Tundra or dirt bikes and 4 wheeler further into the wilderness...

I am looking for another 12 volt power cord for my newer ARB 63qt fridge so I can use an anderson connector with it when it is in my truck. I don't want to cut up the original cord since I use the cig lighter plug in my camper. I see them on amazon but they are rather expensive. Wondering if...

I'm glad someone got the humor in my OP title. I can't tell you how many threads I have read on other forums regarding 'duel' battery setups, lol. Dave, that is a tidy setup, I have looked at those dual battery trays many times. They seem like a great solution for many of us but in my case I...
