My 2013 F-150 is rated for a payload of 3400 pounds, so not quite an accurate statement. 2 door long (8') box with the payload package and the V-8.

These are really going to shake up the current crop of thermal bridging prone units. The Hiatus really does look like a fantastic unit ... AND they make them for an 8’ box - a size sadly ignored by most all other manufacturers of pop-up caps.

My 2013 regular cab, long bed, F-150 with the 5 litre V8 Coyote motor in it has the max'd out HDPP as well as the max'd out tow package. It also had to be a two wheel drive to max everything out. I can haul more in the box than most 3/4 tons on the road (with crew cab and short/mid box) can...

Throw out the sleeping bags, use a lightweight blanket and sheet, leave your furnace on all night. When combined with cracking a roof vent and a turnbuckle hatch it's really the only solution that works in cool to cold weather. Anything that has excessive thermal bridging (all uninsulated...

For those who don't follow the Venture4WD YouTube series with Chris Schontz, and who may not have seen this weeks episode on YouTube ... as a testament to durability and construction quality of the Ursa Minor pop-top, Chris flipped his Jeep on its side while travelling at speed, and wound up at...

The real issue with wait times is that they rarely decrease on extremely popular products (of which the GFC certainly is one) ... rather than get ever longer. A two or three year wait time will ultimately drive potential GFC customers away in large numbers, and really isn't anything close to a...

They were built like a top of the line boat, with every single component being the finest available in its class. That kind of quality doesn't come inexpensively, and the price reflected that exemplary level of quality. The boating world (from which Marc borrowed extensively) lays out this kind...

It's 3 times the price of the Coleman, and looking at the gauge of the steel in the pictures, it doesn't look like it would be much different in terms of both stoves being a bit "floppy" and lightweight. (BTW their website doesn't load for me either, so I looked around the web for assorted...

Shellshock, do you know the name of that Nemo awning? It makes for a great set-up. Did you purchase it recently? The reason I ask is because they're awesome, but I haven't been able to locate them anywhere on the Nemo website (leading me to believe it may have been discontinued).

My two Reliants split when they were 3/4 full of water and I put them down a bit too quickly. One split in the back of my truck, the other on my garage floor. The questionable build quality of the Reliant is what prompted me to get the two Sceptre MWC's. I was in Death Valley for a week or so...

A great source in Canada for both water and fuel military Sceptre equipment is DS Tactical. They've got many of the sometimes very difficult to acquire Sceptre parts and pieces as well (I have no affiliation with them at all beyond "customer"). https://www.dstactical.com/fuel-water-canisters/

Great description, thanks for that!

Gents, the stand you're showing in your pictures has an extension out in front of the stove that accommodates the steam table pans and cutting board/work surface. My question is ... is this the normal 22" stand, or did you order (or specify) a different sized stand that would accommodate the 22"...

Fabric rain gutter. Similar to this, but mine have been homemade: https://www.herculesgazebo.co.nz/product/rain-gutter-6-m/

Ordered an Elf from Amazon, followed the instructions to the letter and it was a bust, it wouldn't talk to my tablet no matter what I did. Sent it back for a refund and got a Glo. The Glo worked right off the bat and has been rock solid with my iPad for over a year now.

Taking into consideration the notion that Sportsmobile West sponsors this very sub-forum ... it would seem incumbent upon somebody from that organization to comment here, at least to the point of demonstrating an effort made to address some of the rather serious concerns and observations that...

I love Four Wheel Campers, they were my first exposure to serious Overlanding with a pick- up truck ... and before I went a different direction, they were the one and only "sleep system" I pined after. IMO, FWC has only two major issues they need to deal with, lest they get bypassed by all...

All of the twenty year old Four Wheel Campers I've seen look like every other truck camper with aluminium sides after twenty years ... they look like they're falling apart, and leaking at every seam.

What a bunch of pedantic twits. If the van doesn’t interest you ... move on, and do so sans comment. Although the builder is politely feigning interest ... nobody here really gives a crap what “you” think of the build.
