Wondering if you would be willing to part with the annex walls.
I have the exact same set up (down to the color of the truck) and have been seriously considering the walls.
I had one made custom by a friend who owns an industrial sewing business. He sews for Kirkham’s, jumping jack trailers, etc.. We brainstormed some ideas and it turned out great!
Same canvas as Kirkham’s Springbar tents. Probably have 100 nights with it and it has been flawless. Way...
Although I didn’t get those exact wheels, I built my camper dolly to those exact specs you describe. Handled my camper perfectly. I moved mine in and out of my garage with my ATV. Worked flawlessly .
Another vote for the diesel heater. I don’t even use the Dickinson any longer when it’s really cold out. The diesel heater heats my Alu-Cabin up faster, and stays consistent all night. It’s got a fob, and is bluetooth connected for remote control of the unit from inside the camper.
I have the Dickinson in my Alu-Cabin. When I ice fish it can’t keep up at night (10-15 F). Diesel heater solved all those problems, quickly. I don’t even use the Dickinson any longer.
Another Stryker boat owner here. I have the Pro 420. Although you can deflate and fold up, it’s a chore. So I trailer mine. 25hp Yamaha on it. It’s built out for fishing and it does it’s job well. Welded seams. I’ve had it in some pretty sketchy situations and it has done great.
Hate to sound the cliche alarm, but the “you get what you pay for” cliche definitely applies here, in my opinion. I have logged hundreds of miles on my hunting boots each year between big game archery and upland hunting. About five years ago, I decided to stop the buying of new cheaper quality...
I just run mine on my power station while driving. Solar charges the power station while driving and then when parked. Had this system for over two years with zero issues.
Just an update for my set up in the camper. Since it’s a basecamp, I went with a synthetic bag from Wiggy’s. Out of Colorado and it has been incredibly warm. Steep discounts if you can buy in person. I bought a zero degree bag for when I ice fish and camp. Well made, and warm! Just a thought.
Camp time roll-a-table for me. Table top is easy to clean and handles heat well. Rolls up for great use of space, is not heavy and adjustable legs are sturdy. Love it!
I have a Springbar Highline. They are truly incredible tents. Used as a basecamp/car camping is obviously ideal due to weight. As far as durability, I have never been let down by this set up. You wouldn’t think so to look at it, but they are incredibly durable.
I have had mine set up for...
Webasto is where I am starting. Have to sell the stove, before I can get it though.
That is a difference in my situation too. Only three adults with me at most. One bike, probably a couple other things makes up that difference. No Goose Gear for me. That stuff is heavy!
That is true, my GVWR is over but under on axle WR. Probably just like about 95% of people on here. Almost impossible to stay under GVWR with a camper, in my opinion.
To each their own. I wish you luck in your search.
Well, for starters, I have the double cab (6.5 ft bed) not the crewmax. I don’t know if that changes things for you.
I built my own cabinets/storage with 8020 aluminum and 3/4” birchwood cabinet tops. In hindsight, I would have gone with the smaller size aluminum to save more weight. That...
Interesting. My Alu Cabin on my Tundra, loaded, bed built out, etc.. comes in 200-400 lbs below both axle ratings based on what I bring.
Haven’t had one issue in almost two years of having it on my truck.
Regardless, enjoy the new truck shopping. You’ll love the set up.
