Why don't you pick up a used Android phone, using just the bluetooth and run the app you want. You can download them via wifi so you don't need any cellular plan. Then you have a dedicated system and get what you want, at a low cost.

Hands down, nicest teardrop is the Escopod TOPO2. Outside your budget but top notch. Another is Bean Trailers.

Yeah but it comes at a cost.... weight. Easily 500 lbs heavier than my old FWC Grandby.

We got out for an overnight trip at a local camp area, just to test it out. Biggest difference from when we had our last truck camper is, we both use CPAPs. The camp area we were at had electrical hookup, so we could run them without issue. I am looking to set it up with 200AH of LifePO4...

Now that I am caught up to present day, this past weekend I installed a set of Bilstein 5160 shocks. The original stock ones still have gas pressure when I removed them (85K miles). I had these same Bilstein shocks on my '97 and loved them. It was a long day working by myself (first really...

Let's go back in time, to Oct 2021. I had been working on my M1010 project ( Desert Turtle ) off and on for a bit. After a lot of consideration, I felt it would be easier to buy a newer truck, with modern features and swap the ambo box over. I started looking for suitable options. Sadly this...

Well that's a story you don't hear everyday.... LOL

Nice rig. Did a bear attack the hood? :ROFLMAO:

Nice progress

On the rear shackle flip, that kit replaces the front and rear spring hangers? I have seen some that just replace the rear and once you remove the lift blocks, the pinion angle is all out of wack. I am happy with my current springs but want to get rid of the blocks. My '97 Ram I had National...

I have been looking at trailers for a while now and had a Kamaproo trailer back in 2008-2010. Even back then, Kimberley Kampers was the standard ALL other offroad campers were judged by. If money wasn't an issue, Kimberley would hands down be my choice. For me, I am really excited to see...

Awesome! Now enjoy the hell out of it!!! :)

Very nice!!! Congrats!! Being a 2010, make sure SMOD has been taken care of. Basically the trans cooler leaks internally of the radiator and mixes trans fluid and coolant, basically destroying the transmission. It's as simple as bypassing the radiator with an external cooler OR change out the...

I love the old 720 series trucks. Never ended up owning one. Had a Hardbody series at one time.

I had a buddy who has a Mazda Tribute, that was going through a quart in less than 1000 miles. The issue was a bad PCV valve, which once we swapped in a new one, it doesn't burn a drop of oil. Sadly it managed to take out 2 of the 3 catalytic converters before we figured that out. I would...

Yeah, 2 spares seems like overkill and two of your examples are from tires in the '70's which were not a tough as modern offroad tires today. Seems like a lot of extra weight for the once in a blue moon situation. I would carry tire repair kit, as many times you can repair before swapping out...

I'll add, from the years of overland camping and talking to a lot of people, plus reading/watching videos of a LOT of camper/trailer builds, one of the biggest things people regret is not having a permanent bed setup. Having to setup and take down bed daily, gets tiring very quickly. This is...

Nice but where's the bed?

Yeah, I have a Dodge 8.0L V10 in my 2000 Ram and with the popup camper, I am getting 9-10 max. With the optional 4.10 gears, it pulls like a freight train though. :)

From our trip to CO
