    Commercial Truck Tires

    These sounds like nice tires to put on as soon as my 305 Nitto's wear out, that won't take long at the rate my truck chews them up! I guess I need to start planning a rear swing away rack for a spare or two. I wonder if I could use this as a way of incorporating a bumper behind the camper and...

    Sportz SUV tent

    It's a good quality tent that we attach to the back of our truck camper for extra room when setting up for more than a day or two. I put snaps around the door of the camper and on the tent and it works great.

    Commercial Truck Tires

    I guess another question to add to this is if a person put the Michelin 11.00 XZL's on a one ton truck would there be a clearance issue in the front? Would a little body work and fender flares be required? What are the chances that one of the spares would still fit in the factory location under...

    Another turbo for my Ford 6.0 diesel...

    The turbo was replaced on my 6.0 at 75,000 miles under warranty for $100. I have talked extensively to the dealer about this and they stated that the engine and turbo will be covered by Ford on a case by case basis (eg. documented previous problems), for up to 150,000 miles. Other than the...

    Alaskan Camper Build Up

    Thanks for the replies and I knew there had to be a physics major on the forum who would have the BTU formula. As far as the thickness of the plywood, I'm not sure, but I assume 1/4 to 3/8 that is dovetailed. The fresh water tank is 30 gallons and located directly under the settee, no black as...

    How do you cook in camp?

    "The shrimp look mighty tasty, but what the heck are you cooking them on?" It's a Magna grill that was built for sailboats etc available at West Marine. I've hooked it up to the propane on the camper and it works well unless the wind is blowing much. Clips on the bumper of the camper nicely...

    Need a bigger fridge? NW area...

    I'll be going through your area in a couple weeks if you decide to sell instead. I don't have a 45 to trade, but we could figure out something if you're interested.

    Banks Monster Exhaust

    Banks makes a good quality product, but they are a little overpriced in my opinion for what it's worth. There are a lot of good systems out there that will perform as well as the Banks, Aeroturbine mufflers are a great thing to have on your vehicle, I have one, and theoretically lower EGT's and...

    Garmin 60CSx on da computa

    Go to Garmin.com and download a free program called nRoute. It connects your GPS to your laptop and allows you to use it as the screen and a whole bunch more. Great program that I highly recommend! I run my Garmin Quest using this and an external antenna and it's slick.

    Alaskan Camper Build Up

    You can see the rest of the tray in the background, upper right corner. They are "mating" the two halves next week and doing all the electrical then. Congrats on the new furnace, it is nice to be warm. Yes, I remember the days of living out a bivvy sack for weeks. I guess our sense of...

    what batteries for my diesel

    I used the 25% off at Autozone from this forum (HID aftermarket lights),for a set of yellow top Optimas. They have a full replacement warranty for three years and ended up being a decent price. If they die, I take them back and get new ones.

    Mitsu Fuso Camper examples

    Now that looks good! One question, why is the awning attached to the roof instead of the side pf the camper? Looks like a Ute tray too.

    Exterior Junction box?

    Any of these three that are available at most hardware stores or even Amazon for less then $10: I use this one above on my current camper and it works great with a 110 volt receptacle. I've used it to run a fan to help with bugs when on the Gulf coast and some exterior lighting at times when...
