I appreciate everyone's input. I have another 18 months on the lease so the "buy a dodge" option is a possibility. The truck is working fine now. When it happened, I was able to limp to the dealer in 4lo. My concern about trying to fix this problem in the middle of nowhere is that messing...

Just curious if this has ever happened to anyone on the forum. I have a 2008 Sierra 1500 pickup with 4 wheel drive. The four wheel drive is controlled by a dash mounted control that can be set on auto or 2wd or 4 hi or 4lo. I spend most of my time mavigating the wilds of urban so. cal. The...

Awesome pics and narrative DD. It's nice to camp vicariously when one cannot really camp as often as they would like. Noticed the windows/partitions around the picnic tables at that state park in Utah? Was it really that windy there?

Hey Keith: On your trip, did you make to China Garden Spring which is near Darwin Falls? It's a neat camping spot not far from Darwin Falls. There's lots of shade and a pond with koi fish in it.

Nice interior. Was it custom made for you? The interior pics on the FWC site don't look like that. Was the fridge a special option you chose?

We used the outback model on several trips. Even with the extra tie downs, the wind won. On one of the trips, a friend had the "utility room" from walmart. That held up well in the wind. We have since purchased one and found it has held up well for the price. Another friend has the Cabelas...

We had the outback porta privy but it didn't hold up in windy conditions. Also never got the hang of folding it back up despite watching the video a bunch of times. We switched to the walmart utility enclosure and found it holds up much better in the wind:cool:

Has anyone been to Last Chance Canyon near Ridgecrest recently? If so, how was the road in the canyon heading south of EP 15?

I keep getting squeaky brakes after driving on dusty roads in my 2008 GMC 1500. This never happened with my previous rides (Explorer and 4Runner). Anybody with same problem or thoughts on this?

I'm looking for a hawk but the timings not quite right. Tell your friend to keep the camper as the kids will get bigger and love to camp and the campers ain't gettin' any cheaper

Thanks everyone for all the imput. Stan: seeing that picture with the hawk on the crewcab has got me thinking. I'll call you when I'm ready!

I forgot to mention that our truck is only a GMC 1500. So the weight ot the camper is a concern. The other popups I mentioned are "plusher" but heavier and maybe not necessarily more functional. From your threads, it seems the FWC/ATC products are definitely trail rated.

We have a 2008 GMC crewcab pickup with the really short bed(5'8"). It seems that a hawk or panther would be the best fit. Any thoughts? Do any of you have experience with other popups such as Hallmark, Northstar, Phoenix campers? Your forum has been a wealth of information so far. Thank you!
