Anyone for breakfast? 12 hours of running my diesel heater overnight plus running my electric skillet for dinner and breakfast. My Pecron 600 is down to 45%. Not bad for such a small power supply. My truck will recharge it on the drive home today.

This is my idea of a great Saturday night!

Here's one major debatable decision I made. I kept the freedom tops in when building my camper. I still love going open air. but I gave up a lot of camper room. If I extended the bed over the freedom tops, I would be able to walk in the back of the camper without pushing up the bed platform...

Thanks for the Earthroamer XV-JP reminder. They stopped making this camper, but it would be a cool Gladiator Platform.

Here's a JL camper I haven't seen before. Interesting layout. They use the side doors to enter the camper and put the kitchen across the back. Wish I could read French. https://www.feetrun.fr/page-3

AEV Outpost II is in my top picks for Jeep Campers! http://www.actioncamper.info/details.php?ktid=26&artID=634

This is still one of my favorite Jeep Campers (except for mine of course). Hard to believe it is a slide on for a Wrangler. http://www.actioncamper.info/details.php?ktid=26&artID=634

Dan's talking about his pop-top. His flip top idea below would be pretty cool.

You're probably already watching, but if you're not check out Michael Fuchs' expedition builds. You'll get a sneak peak at what Dan Grec is doing also. https://wabisabioverland.com

I think both Dan and your rigs will be great. I mostly sleep upstairs, but can also sleep below, when I pull in to camp late and don't want to pop it up. I haven't stealth camped at Walmart or Lowes yet, but not having to pop up the camper does come in handy occasionally. Here's how I...

Here is a link to my 100 page Gladiator Forum. On page 32, I have a lot of pictures on sewing the tent. https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/gladiator-expedition-rigs.44600/page-32

Here you go. Looks like great minds think alike (Top Notch #9):) Below is my order for Canvas, windows and supplies. Let us know what material, if any you add for insulation. The insulation will be nice in the cold, but might make it more difficult to store away when the top is folded. My...

Here's a picture of the window I would make, if I had an industrial sewing machine.

Engineering principle #1, Keep It Simple (KIS). Love your drafting and machining skills! You should frame your drawing of the hinge. It's beautiful and so are the hinges. For tent material, I went with Marine Grade Canvas from Sailrite.com. They have everything you need including clear...

Nice day for a drive through the woods.

Here's a simple interior layout for a Ford Ranger, which would work well with any short bed pickup. I like how light and simple it is. It would also work well in a Gladiator.

Now how cool is this!! Opening and closing my tailgate from inside my camper is a PITA!

The red stripe looks good. Maybe you can make it wider?

A couple nice days exploring around Iron County MO. The old mining villages in this area are called Ironton, Silvermines, Graniteville, Steelville, Old Mines, Leadwood and Mineral Point. Old miners didn’t have much imagination! Rough and beautiful country.

It won't be boring black for long. I vote for #4 on both sides with the Grizzly on the back. What ever you choose will be great. By the way, if you take the Grizzly hunting, you might just scare all the deer away!
