Very nice set up Runt! Very clean, I especially like the front hidden hitch and the way the rear bumper blends in like it was factory.

Great set up! How is the ARB fridge/ freezer holding up? What sat phone/company are you using?

Greginsocal, any pics of the bumper on your Ford?

 

[Runt]

The ARB Fridge Freezer works fantastic! ........ the solar panel easily keeps it charged. The sat. phone is a Global Star.

Hey Runt, how's it going !
So what's the word on the camper....fit for a bush ape ?

Hey hey

LIFE IS GOOD!

Not much to report about the camper as I have had zero problems! Its been bounced down about 13,000 km's of forest service roads and rough northern highways and no issues. I have froze the water lines multiple times when I forgot to turn on the line and tank heaters but the heat tape thaws things out quite quickly. Condensation has been a bit of a issue so I have bought a dehumidifier. I wipe down the ceiling and walls every morning. Its a tough camper thats for sure.....very fit for a bush ape. Only issue I have is the under bead storage......Coyote RV designed it so it has three equal storage compartments, which is great except for my - 50 degree celcius rated sleeping bag is a little bulky to fit in one compartment. I have to remove the outer shell and store in the adjacent compartment which is a PITA. Pretty minor and completly my issue with this sleeping bag only. My -20 degree celcius bag fits no problem.

Only things I would do diffrent:

In retrospect I should have added some sort of heater to the port podi compartment as it has frozen a few times now. Switched to a folding dry type toilet with waste bag. The next camper I get Rob to build me I will have a propane hook up plumbed to the back to hook up the BBQ to instead of running a long line.

Camper works awesome with this truck.....really good combination if you need to get to the middle of nowhere and back again in comfort.

I can't seem to find where your tire size is?

I run 35X12.50X17 BFG Mud Terrains in the summer and Kelly TSR 285/70/17's (33X11.0X17) studded up in the winter.

I like it!! I like the swing out bumper design, looks beefy.

Can you get into the ARB with the top down?

Yes I can get into the fridge with the top down.

The rear bumper/rack looks so well done! I figured the price would be off the scale. Not so...and look...more pics to perv!

It's a great bumper.....very well made and the powder coat is perfect. CBI Off Road is a damn good place to get off road accessories. I highly recommend CBI.
