Gravity feed is great if you don't need to get the water up to a cabinet mounted sink, if did you would need to mount the tank high off the floor which will affect camper CG negatively. If you mount the tank low you could use a manual lever pump faucet which would keep things simple.

With the camper weight and towing a boat, I think you'll be glad you "stepped up" and got that 2500/diesel. Nice truck, enjoy.

I had super springs on my 1st gen Tundra with a Hawk. While they worked ok, if I ever had to do it again, I would go with new custom spring packs.

There was a dealer in Denver when my daughter lived there, I think they are still carrying FWC. You might give them a call and let them know your in the market if they get a trade in.

I cut my front to back runners short to allow for a 2x2 that runs across the width of the truck bed to give it a more finished look. You could also add a piece of trim to the bottom of the camper that would hide the 2x4s.

Mount the controller as close as possible to the batteries to avoid voltage drop and use appropriate wire size. You need a ventilated location that has easy access so you can monitor the controller if it has indicator LEDS or adjustable settings.

I was enjoying a nice camp out years ago but had to leave a couple days early because we ran out of ice. I swore to not let that happen again. Although I have a 3way fridge now, using propane mostly and not the 12v, it still means I'm free from ice dependency. Camper came with a 3way but if I...

Might be a poor connection with just a couple strands of wire making contact. Your volt meter doesn't draw much current(amps) but the lights do and you can't carry the higher amp load through a couple wire strands. Also be sure all plug contacts are tight and free of corrosion and dirt

I started with a 1/2 ton truck. You can do it on a 1/2. Beef up the rear suspension, including shocks D or E range tires. Keep you gear to a minimum and drive your vehicle with the extra load in mind.

Car Guru, True Car,Truck Trader, craigslist, local dealer sites also. Probably a couple more I can't remember.

One word, persistence. Stay with it, took me 6+ months to locate a good clean 3/4 ton. Ended up with a 2012 F250 4x4 S/C, 40k miles for $22,000. The deals are out there but be ready to jump when you find it, they don't last long.If your going to finance get preapproved from your bank.

Thanks for the replies, I checked out the RMCP site earlier. Just wanted to see if I could pick up any additional info. from members here. They really stress the paper work requirements on the site

I know that taking a handgun into Canada is next to impossible, so I would like to carry a either a rifle or shotgun. Can I carry a tactical model shotgun(18.5-20"barrel) or does it have to be a hunting type(longer barrel). Also is there a limited on the mag capacity? Thanks

One advantage to the hard side pop up that appeals to me would be a reduction in condensation. I would make the shower optional,a modular design would let you replace it with a cabinet system or porti potty closet if the buyer did not want it. A cassette toilet as an intergral part of the...

My roof leaked when driving through heavy rain.The final fix was to reshape the front seal/weather strip. It had collapsed due to age, rubber was still pliable and not cracked. To reshape it I pulled a length of vacuum line into the hollow section. No more leaks

I always use the handle. Installed beefier screws and through bolted the upper. All you have to do is fall once or twice and you will always use some kind of hand hold(unless you a slow learner).

Makita now has a 36V chainsaw. Uses two 18v lithium batteries. So if you already have the makita18V drill/tools, your set

I started with a 2006 tundra and installed Bilstein 4600s in the rear with super springs overload leaf. If I had to do the springs over I would get new HD spring packs. The shocks work very well. I have a f250 now.

Depends on the up charge, whether it's in your budget and where/how you want to camp, only you can decide that. Longhorn makes a good point on the resale value.

What a deal. We pay 6.25% in Texas.

I would think 220A should do what you need. I wonder how much load 2 380A alternators adds to that hemi.

I would like to get a micro jump starter. Does anyone here have any recommendations on the best brand and or model units. There is an abundance of them online and while some reviews are good short term, I would like to hear from people that have had them for 2-3+ years and how they are holding up..

Removed mine, it was faded, looks much better without it. I wouldn't mind a smaller decal, still have the side decals.

Lots of size variance within the group 24 designation. Same thing is true for group 27 and 31 etc.

If you already have circuits set up with fuses its not worth the money to change to breakers. As mentioned just make up a small kit of replacement fuses.
