    Lift a F 450 like an Earthroamer.

    The ultimate would be a Touareg style adjustable air lift suspension mod. The best of both worlds and a smoother ride. Would this even be possible on a F450 or F550?

    FS: Targus 70 watt auto/air notebook adapter

    Too light of wattage for a P4 if I'm not mistaken.

    Which fridge and where???

    http://www.wagongear.com/Fridge_Lid_Flip_Kit.html Well worth it if you have an Engel.

    Which fridge and where???

    If you can spend the bucks, go for the Engel or ARB. They draw less power and will run for years. I use my Engel 45 as a freezer and the only thing I did was put on the hinge kit and a thermometer.

    Skysix, The solar vents have a very minimal profile on the roof of the camper, perhaps two inches max. Inside the the camper, the deck head, they sit down about three inches, put most of that is the light and switch that can be push about about another inch if you close the vent. Just be sure...

    12 volt kettle / coffee pot

    I currently use a Behmor coffee roaster, though I have used others in the past. My favorite website for roasting is sweetmarias.com. Truly, nothing effects your coffee more than fresh and properly roasted beans. Very few commercial beans fall in this category, including the dreaded star chucks.

    12 volt kettle / coffee pot

    I guess it's a personal thing, space versus convenience. Personally home roasted coffee, a burr grinder and a drip coffee maker rule for me. I could never get used to the gritty taste of french press.

    The last pictures posted by Killntime are not nearly as sexy as the first one in this post. Nice suspension upgrades though.

    It's pretty hard to beat the Coleman on the stove coffee maker with home roasted beans:

    Introduction and Full Size Discussion

    Welcome to the forum and I as well envy your wood working skills. If I were a skilled cabinet maker, I would have ordered my camper sans the cabinets and done my own. Alas, I'm not and they would have looked pretty bad if I had. It looks like your truck will be a nice basis for a camper, do...

    Alaskan Camper Build Up

    Thanks Ed and glad you like it as much as my wife and I do. The generator will run on either gas or propane and I ran the first tank through with gasoline per the company's instructions as part of the break in process. It's run strictly on propane since then as it's just too handy when we have...

    Holy tool box !!

    That is pretty sweet, but roll ups are going to have to stay in my truck and that is pricey and very bulky. It would impress friends when you pull it out though... :Wow1:

    Project Build: RocKrawlers 01 F250 CC SB PSD

    Certainly cheaper than an ARB when I was buying, but it's steel and not aluminum. Great for deer collisions though... Give them a call, I think they're in Oregon at www.buckstop.biz. How much clearance do you need? The safety bar under the bumper would be a clearance issue first and it has to...
