Well, if you are coming north, I have a Bobcat shell with couch and heater in Sonora, California I would be happy to show off. Check out my blog in the signature line.

I was going to post that there would be door slamming noises in a camper, but got to reflecting on my time spent in campgrounds. Tent campers constantly get back into their vehicles for something. I think in many ways I would be much quieter because it is just pop six latches and lift. I always...

Curtain rod help: Use a washer (large enough for rod) attached to the wall with Command Strips, it keeps it from slipping. I collect ideas from all over the web. This came from Arby the RV, but his site is defunct. Arby idea

You won't get a campsite in Yosemite during the summer without booking 5 months in advance. But there was a recent thread here about dispersed camping off Evergreen Road. That is about 30 minutes out of the valley, but the closest you are probably going to get that time of year. Coming up 120...

Nice woodwork Josh41.

I used two footman's loops to secure my Dometic fridge. Rock solid. https://sierrashadow.wordpress.com/category/dometic-refrigerator/ I am also in the keep everything out of the aisle camp. I also use a lot of velcro (hook side) to attach smaller things to the loopy carpeting they used in my...

I follow WTW on Feedly for new photos so I saw the picture of a lunatic photographer near a lava flow with his feet so near the flow that his tripod was flaming. I just figured it must have been a photoshop trick, but maybe it's possible. Sent from my iPad using Wander The West

Not to say others are wrong, but there is no way I would drive the thing if I didn't have the window in the front and door. It is not perfect, but at least you get an idea of what is behind you while driving. Yes, the reverse camera on most new trucks is great, but I am talking about while going...

Ah, the joys of planning and implementation. Just remember everyone is different. Don't feel compelled to do it the same way as others have. I like your prototype method. Each trip will refine your set up, until one day you enjoy a trip and say to yourself, "I can't think of anything I would...

Wait. 111 pounds! No weigh (sorry, couldn't resist the pun) Sent from my iPad using Wander The West

Wow, I loved my Hobie mirage tandom, but that sucker weighed a ton and we couldn't lift it to the top of the car much less the camper so we got rid of it. This is an amazing idea, and I would love an actual review after you get it out on the water. I am starting the piggy bank right now! Sent...

I think they are on the right side with the assumption that you would want to look out the window on the sidewalk side of the street, not the other. But the whole thing is a mystery to me since when sitting on the couch you have your back to said window anyway. That's why I know you have to have...

ATC told me they had to install one window as a fire escape no matter what, so unless it was one a flat bed I don't think it could be legal. Sent from my iPad using Wander The West

I don't agree with their choices for California, so I doubt their choices for the rest of the country are much better. It isn't about the destinations for me, but the road travelled.

I think that should be doable with basic sewing skills. And attaching sticky velcro to vent edges should work. Ms. Feet... Love it. :D

My idea of heaven. Popped and covered.

Not sure I understand. I don't think that I would want lights on when I reverse in a parking lot. But I love the idea of using them in a campground.

I'm hoping that was an April Fool's joke. Kinda getting tired of it, although I hate to complain after the drought.

I have always had excellent service from the guys at ATC. Today I brought in my just under two year old Bobcat which had mold. Last year they repaired a solar connection that wasn't properly siliconed, so of course I jumped to the conclusion that it was the roof again. No, user error. I had not...

I am thinking this could easily be adapted to form a rear awning for an ATC/FWC type camper. And the price is right at $109. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ZKYSCOM/?tag=3dsecure-20

Have any of you ever seen this? http://offgridquest.com/mobility/bush-winch http://www.bushwinch.com.au/ $568 AUD $568 USD - never mind

There is a connector called a "steak saver" that attaches the little green bottles to your propane line to the camper, allowing you to carry just a light back-up plan for those times you accidentally run out in the middle of the night. But you're right, the propane lasts a good long time. Too...

I almost posted this in the thread "low cost mods" because it is so not, but we are buying a new house and here is the reason why. Well, snow removal is a big part of the reason, too. In the Sierra foothills ten miles downhill can make a big difference.
