Hello all. I come to you again with questions I hope you have experience with. My camper is stored on the side of my house. Neighbor on that side is a slob with the yard. Hence, rats visit under the hood of the camper. No major problems yet. I set some traps and pulled out some dead rats...

I’m trying to gather up the photos. They’re a little jumbled right now I got some different sources I’m pulling them from. The thread not be coherent for a little while. Hope you can see what I’m doing.

We run a '93 Ford F-350, 4 door, 4x4 w/FWC Keystone to the Saline Valley with regularity. All's been well with the setup until the last run the dashboard itself has come loose on the passenger side. I don't think this is all that uncommon. I know a friend had an '86 Bronco. The dashboard used...

I'm not myself much of a mechanic. Not a chance I can change a power steering pump on this vehicle. Have a mechanic shop works on and maintains our fleet trucks for the landscape business. They seem competent for oil changes and minor repairs, but. They cannot seem to get the power steering...

I been thinking about this mod for a while. Searched this forum and tried to google, not much pertinent info. Saw it on a Benz G-Wagon once upon a time down in Saline Valley. Has anyone seen this done on a Ford truck? Thinking how to do it without adding too much weight.

Fitted the camper on to the utility bed. Seems to fit pretty good. Get some gaps filled, bolt it down, get some paint, Think it will be getting much closer.

We're building a '93 F-350, 4-door, 4WD camper. (It's going pretty slow, no dough.) I had heard on this forum that tires up to 37" should be ok on this model, maybe need to modify the front bumper. We put 35" Cooper Discoverer's on the stock 16" steel rims. We moved the front bumper forward...

What I thought would be a not so slow build is crawling along very slowly. But, got some 35" Cooper Discoverer AT3's on there this week. Had to immediately remove the stock bumper, as had been suggested herein. But, another question about mechanicals, which is my one of my many weak spots. I...

We're setting up an old FWC with batteries, solar, Engel or ARB, etc. We mostly run to Death Valley, Saline Valley. Will these setups keep food and drinks COLD when it's 115 degrees in the day and 85 degrees at night? Hence the thread title question. Is a 50 degree ambient drop all I should...

I want to mount the spares on the roof of the cabin, forward of the slide-in camper overhang. It's a four door truck with older pop-up camper. Thinking about a small winch or ratcheting device to get them up there. Anyone done this?

Guy I got the camper from suggested laying a rubber mat between the plywood camper bottom and the steel truck bed. Any thoughts/experience w/this? What type, thickness? Much appreciated are any responses.

Working out details on custom bed and camper mounting, etc. Coming to a consideration of Warn winches mounted to frame. Likely want front and rear. Which Warn 12,000 is needed? Seems a decent price swing between models. All advice greatly appreciated. Edit: M12000 v. VR12000 is the...

Someone working on my truck commented I might have a rear axle that would accept DRW. How would I know this? I don't want to put dual rear wheels, I'm just wondering what it is that I have. There are no ID stickers, no door stickers, no glove box stickers, etc. I'm pretty sure that when it...
