DiploStrat and Herbie, thanks for the suggestions, I'll look into them. Jim

Doing what he does best...

LOL. The big johnson of camera lenses.

Background - Context Back in high school and through college, I was an avid photographer who enjoyed playing with exposures and lighting. During that time I built a dark room in my mother's basement plus had access to the ones at school if needed. Photo equipment was as you might expect, a...

Came across this image of an ad for a factory option camper. Not familiar with this, if it really existed and isn't simply a well done Photo-shop.

Something I noticed right away and like are the vertical sides.

Hmmm, not much. Simply an example of a larger company looking to diversify into a different but corresponding market. Distribution will be better, possibly improved integration with the rack. Congrats to the folks behind Tepui for cashing out at an opportune time.

How a vehicle is used and maintained is a greater factor in engine longevity than carbs v. EFI or liquid cooled v. air cooled.

I have family Coleman stove and lantern from the late 50's and pretty much have used naphtha, Coleman fuel, but I remember my Dad went to the Amoco station to buy 'white gas' unleaded for the both units.

In the east it is difficult to be further than 100 miles from fuel, the exceptions being the Trans Labrador Highway and and James Bay. Jim

Good news! And Mike, thanks for sharing your experience with other camper projects, I expect we'll hear about getting a Uro-Camper. Gee if I ship a truck to Spain, I could use it as a jumping off point for a tour of Europe and North Africa :ylsmoke:

Tribu, please find an North American distributor and create won of your campers for a 1-ton US truck. Jim

Having worked for a BMW car dealer, I'm convinced that these (as well as MB and Audi) are cars that you lease and return before the warranty ends. This said, any car with a turbo is a major expense waiting to happen. Jim

At the Maine Boat Builder's show last month, there were a couple of companies that built doors and window units for marine use. Marine suppliers might be an option. Jim

Why bother with the up fitted fire truck and simply start with the International 4800 4x4 platform? They are fairly common. Others with similar thoughts. http://www.turbodieselregister.com/threads/12504-International-4800-4x4-as-motorhome

I've been in the car business and when new to the industry I asked the GM I worked for at the time where KBB, Edmunds etc got the pricing, he shrugged, saying for the dealership purpose it didn't matter as the actual cash value (ACV)of the possible trade, was derived from the wholesale auction...

Tom, thanks for alerting us to this. I understand that you are concerned about the small size, but I can't help but think that it is handier than what ER have become. Jim

Picked up a pair of Iron Ranger's a year ago and wear them 3-4 times a week. Slow to break in, which I believe is due to the older boot tech, but now very comfortable. Jim

It is too small to be practical, but I'd like the creator to put his efforts into a small camper based on say the Transit Connect. Jim
