After trying out and practically living in the 2015/16 floor plan. For winter months in Upstate new york. And Minnesota, near Duluth.
And eventually making it back to CO.
I realized there were some major adjusted needed. Such as the carpet. That needed to go. Although I loved the...
This was also my 1st time the truck had some form of a heater with the Olympian wave 3 propane heater.
LOVE that thing. Little small for the space. But on decent weather nights. It definitely helped keep the chill off. Did me almost no good if the weather dipped below freezing tho. .

The second floor plan was a major setup up from the 1st. But still didnt know what I was doing. . Traveled to and from NY and CO and everywhere in between for these 2 years. .
Went from 2 opposing 4ft benches .
To one long 6 ft bed . And an opposing 3 ft bench.
With a 5 ft...
2013, 2014 was the 1st build I tried my hand at. Obviously nothing to write home about. But I was stoked and couldnt wait for some adventure. So the 1st day got it to run. Went to my nearest walmart and slept in the parking lot.
The layout worked . But be far better improved and better use of...
Some photos through the years of building the interior. Of the different floorplans that's lasted about 2 years each. There is at least 1 inch of the styrofoam board Insulation w/ reflective lining on the side facing into the camper.
Since I was anticipating camping in colder climates between...

Here we are 7 years later. !
Bought just the chinook truck ,77, as my 1st car actually for 1200.
Was gutted and total eye soar I'll admit. But I could help but fall in love ever day more and more with it.
After some exploring through the CO backcountry. Going everywhere the rwd dual 14" rims...
What was your ball park cost for a cherry like that? And FAST EFI.? Is that a "painless harness" swap but for a wagon?

Haha. Well bro. At any rate thats some real decent flex... thumps up for sure. And no. Sorry, i kond of thought thatd would have been a difficult one to read. Heres what im saying:
You want the fuel injection offered on a chevy. Like oh say there 4.3 L v6... you will need the smog equipment...
By the way. On the topic of smog. Fiel injection is great. And is definatly the way to go, in yours and i case. However.. dont forget about the visual side to CO. so what ever vehile you decide to adapt to the "waggy" . Youll need to adapt all the emission junk from that fuel injected motor of...
I second the camping and wheeling pic. ^^^
But as far as the smog goes in CO... all depends on what county you live in.. if you live in aurora to denver or boulder or pretty much any thing in between. You need smog. But if you live some where like say glennwood. (Western slope of the...
Cap and rotor and wires. Bro. Basic and simple, but can make a world of difference as you just found out. Cheap and easy fix though. Have you taken a look at the plugs?

I love my chinook right now. But with the story on this one I would be tempted to buy yours. ;) I already have a few friends lined up with interest. But we gotta meet sometime and swap Chinook stories when you decide to come back home. Also a question for you. Where did you get your wall...
I've had that happen before, but with my cam shaft bracket. The bolt Broke in my head!!! Thankfully one easy out bit later. She came out. So I know the anger. And unfortunately with old hardware. Age tends to make these guys (hardware) want to stretch much easier. Thus we get the above...
