Seems like it would be a pain in the ass to use if I built it into a swing out. You would have to climb over a tire or a large box to use, nevermind the fact that the motorcycle will be in the way as an obstacle.
My buddy started tacking up the rear bumper the other night and the pivots for the swing always are in!! I’m super excited to get this bumper on. Also ordered a new beefy ladder for accessing the roof. Going to relocate it on the side rear section of the camper from the stock locating that was...
I’m not going to buy dedicated snow tires for the rig as we’ll be on the road full time with no where to store them. ST Maxx’s are AT tires not MTs. They actually perform very well in the snow and figure studs would only help and since I’m getting new tires in the spring why not.
Studded snow...
Wondering if anyone has ever run studded snow tires on a large heavy vehicle like an RV? My tires are about 30% so I was thinking of studding them (Cooper ST Maxx are studdable) before I take off in Dec since I plan on getting new tires in the spring. Im getting the Ikon pass and planning to...
Funny story, I flew out to Hood River OR to buy mine and on that trip in Creater Lake NP if I remember correctly I saw an identical clone to mine, side entry, color, everything haha.
They're out there, but for every 100 or so rear entry units you’ll see maybe 1 SE. I looked on and off for mine...
Thanks! Yea most Chinooks were rear entry, they only offered the side entry for a few years and didn’t make that many of them.
No I have a wedding to go to that weekend unfortunately.
She’s starting to come together, my buddy who’s building the bumper said all the materials will be in this week! Excited to see the finished product, need to button up a few interior things before we hit the road full time at the end of this year.
I meant the grill haha. But yea I researched a while ago about blocking the raidiator when mounting a tire or moto, a lot of guys said they had been doing it for a while and were fine. Hopefully I won’t have to tho.
Thanks man!!!
I have a buddy making a custom rear bumper with a swing out for the tire and a swing out hopefully for my Treager grill haha. The tire should clear the bike, not sure the grill will tho. Think I’ll mount it off the front hitch if need be ?
I ended up not running any spacers. The inside wheel is very close to the leaf spring pack but does clear it. The tires do touch in the middle but it’s just the side wall lugs and seems to be fine. I was worried the first trip or two that they would get hot but I’ve put 20k plus on them now with...
Also realized how spoiled I’ve become with having the camper. Did some moto camping with a tent this weekend in VT and the whole time I was rolling around on my stupid loud Nemo sleeping pad all I could think of was my comfy camper mattress haha.
Not much camper progress, kinda bummed it’s been down this long. Just to busy with other projects to work on her. Hopefully she’ll be back together in a couple weeks.
We did start the wallpaper and new storage unit tho!
I know some people in this thread asked for me to post my truck when I was ready to sell so I’m just throwing it up here.

Also ended up removing more of the interior then I wanted to but it is what it is. Going to redo the countertop since it was pieced together with scraps I had from a rental unit I was redoing. Scored 3 oak butcher blocks from ikea for $40 each and one will be going in the camper.
