Cache Camper Fishhook

We did a thing.

Decided to change our “camping” set up. The better half wanted to be able to explore-lite up here in Alaska with our kiddo during the parts of summer while I’m away at work, with two caveats…. 1) no set-up, take down (see our habitat sale ad three years ago for details on that), and 2) heat.

That basically leads one direction. Slide in. So we shopped and looked and debated and read and looked some more. Down days at work were spent leafing through every forum thread etc I could find. We have several friends with the Cache Camper fishhook and after looking into it, comparing it against others in that category of “light weight and basic”, and visiting their shop here (each is built here in Alaska), we pulled the trigger. Their design lead even showed me a pic of one attached to a PW supposedly with no suspension mod for “salesman purposes”. Ha.

Four season with propane forced air heat. We have our ARB zero 73 dual zone fridge going in, and declined their mattress in favor of our exped megamat. Queen size cab over with folding dinette for the tiny human. Quite basic, but set up to add items later such as additional solar, sink, gas stove, awnings, etc later if desired.

Should weigh in at below 1500lbs as we equipped. Added thuren sway bar links and hellwig sway bar to assist with body roll from the inboard springs and debating a coil swap for payload purposes depending on how she handles.

Picking up mid-July and will be immediately giving it a 10day run-down through interior Alaska. Weeee!

That's awesome! Can't wait to see you post it up when you get it. There is ALOT to be said for no to minimal setup, it really takes any stress away from exploration/camping.

Yeah, I’m on hitch rotation most of the year and between minimal prep/shut down before and after trips and the ease of sliding into a camp spot and being able to be sheltered and tiny human in a sleep spot within minutes if needed…. Had a feeling we were going this way.

Will certainly post up again once it’s on.

Got some update build pics from Cache

We are staying really basic, so no interior stovetop or sink. Right side “nook” will hold our fridge, and Cache installed the ARB fridge fitting in there for us to keep the other 12v outlets at the edge of the dinette open for other uses. Water is a simple wall mount gravity jug.

Should be fully finished by around July 15
