Post Pics of Your Hard Side Camper!

What do you use for a jack in the event of a flat? I bought a brand new one of these awhile back.

I use a 20-ton bottle jack (manual & air powered) and made my own adapters as that way I can lift the axles (front Dana 70HD has round tubes, rear Dana 110 has square tubes) and with a longer adapter, I can lift the frame if necessary. I also made a bottom plate for the jack to sit on for more ground contact area and to make it easier to slide into place. So I pretty much stole was inspired by Safe Jacks ideas, but adapted for my specific Fat-Pig (15k curb weight - C4500 Kodiak) needs

After waiting too long for an AEV rear bumper, I Just added an Expedition One rear bumper to my Ram 2500 with Callen Camper. This thing is stout!

I love my AEV front setup, but I'm glad I bought this thing!

I've had three Callens. Did you buy that when the new buyer made a go of it?

My '97 F350 4x4 Powerstroke with '06 Lance 1055. I bought these both used, separately back in 2014. With an extended receiver hitch, I have towed my 80 Series Land Cruiser to TLCA and ROF events for a base camp or for just comfortable camping on away from home day wheeling trips.



I've made a few mods to the camper to suit my purposes. Since I couldn't have the newer Ford extending mirrors on the truck, I opted to fab up a pair of camper mounted rear views.



Also, I wanted to carry a fullsize spare and not in the OEM location - under the bed which would be almost impossible to reach with the camper on the truck. So I designed a swingarm style after picking up an adequate hub from the awesome crew at the MetalTech plant in Newberg, OR. This hub supports a full width MetalTech swing arm with spare tire and jerry cans that MetalTech made(at that time - 2015) for an FJ Cruiser, so I figured it would work for my purposes. I took the hub and my design to the local machine shop in John Day and they fabbed it up for me. I can also mount this swingarm assy in the receiver on my front bumper, which I have done in cooler weather.




Camper has been sold as of 5-6-22.

Happy New Year

Did some winter camping and ice fishing for the new year.
I think mine counts as a hardside since there is no fabric for the popup section yet so we only use it with the top down.

Looks great, what kind of mods have you done for cold weather camping? Do you have a build thread for that?

Thanks ...Sorry no build thread but I may start a thread on the major construction highlights a little later.

Any chance you got around to a build thread? Would love to see tips and tricks, and layup schedule.
