    This is an excellent idea. I built this from a "blank canvas" but I'm getting ready to retire it. These CPT rigs look like an excellent upgrade! Check out my build and see if it gives you any ideas. We have been using it for a few years and love all the space it gives us, but I would like a...

    Rare Toy Hauler Adventure Rig (Build)

    The thing that makes it all work with Ford Sync is this - however there are several other brands that do similar things. I use a Navik like this one and I ordered it through their website where you can plug in your specific year/make/model to get the right one. The video receiver is mounted...

    Rare Toy Hauler Adventure Rig (Build)

    Simple mod that gives me a rear view when the camper is on the truck. I mounted a cheap reverse camera below the camper porch light, then wired power to the camera from the porch light. I swapped the original porch light with one that has a switch on the housing so I can keep the camera power...

    Rare Toy Hauler Adventure Rig (Build)

    I can still tow. The deck and gizmo are designed to come off and store easily.

    Im also using a 6 foot wide bag awning made for a pop-up trailer. It was 8 feet long but that was way too big so I cut it to 5.5 feet long.

    Rare Toy Hauler Adventure Rig (Build)

    After using this rig a few times I decided it needed a porch. There is only a small amount of tailgate that isn't big enough for a step and it makes crossing the door threshold from the folding stairs kind of precarious, especially in the dark. This is how awkward the stairs and threshold...

    Diesel Air Heater in 1st Gen Tacoma for OVRLND Top

    It was this one. https://www.ebay.com/itm/294094750555 I have a black one in there now. The black ones are more expensive. I also had to modify the standpipe to fit in the cap. Not a difficult to do.

    Yes, well the plans changed and I never got the OVRLND. I still have the Tacoma but I'm building out a different rig now.... I like these chyna diesel heaters. I have three of them now - One in the Tacoma, one in the adventure rig, and one in my workshop.

    Diesel Air Heater in 1st Gen Tacoma for OVRLND Top

    So far it starts every time. I just put a cig lighter end on the factory power wires that came with the heater (14 gage probably?). But you are correct, some of these heaters suck a lot of current at startup. I just installed another similar heater on this rig, and had to upgrade it to...
