Great report! Aways amases me how few people you run into deep in Kofa. We always explore during the week even less people. We notice that most people pretty much stay on or close to vehicle routes but if you park and start wandering away a whole new understanding of the area opens up. Les,lqhikers

The question what will replace it. Answer custom Snug Top hi-liner shell. The reason is that we do not do cold, rain camping anymore and spend our time now in local desert areas, Mojave Perserve, Borrego state park, Yuma /Parker area of Airzona, plenty of the type of country we enjoy most. Set...

Since i bought my first FWC early 2007 and then sighed on to Wander The West forum i thought i would list all the different rigs i have gone through in the past16 years. I have always been interested in different type of campers and as my interest keeps changing so do my campers, so i will list...

I built the spacer so it just was on the truck bed, not under camper so what it did was stop camper from sliding forward. Sorry no pictures have never learned to post them even with all the suggestions from some of experts on this site!

I had a gap like that with my Northstar pop up on my long bed tacoma. What i did was to build a 2"x4" spacer that set on the truck bed, this was to make sure camper did not shift under rough conditions. AS most 4wc owners only use turn buckets to secure campers i would make sure to do this mod...

I have had two different northstar campers. Yes they are heaver than 4wc. Yes you need to upgrade ,at least air bags, springs or both. Yes you need to use frame mounted system to secure and also add blockage between camper and truck bed to keep camper from shifting. Yes you have to change your...

We went out last Tuesday (12/20/22) to one of our local trailheads to get a little hike in as the weather down here in the desert has been great. When we pulled into the parking area their was a police car parked with a couple of people talking. What happened was while two different groups were...

Wandering Sagebrush,bookmarked your suggestion. Reason i'm hoping Itchy Boots does Australia is because she does the back roads and as the wife and i toured for about 8 months traveling by bicycle back in the mid 80's hoping she will visit some of the spots we saw and enjoyed. Les,lqhikers

Have watched Itchy boots from her start looking forward to her next (hope it is Australia) loved how she really got into the Kalahari Desert rally. Second favorite You Tube is Forestry Forest, a young man who shows us parts of Canada mountains that i will never get to visit. great video work...

My wife who in1971 was my girlfriend heard about Saline Valley said she wanted to experience the "hot springs", of course i was willing so we loaded up our 1968 vw van and had a great time. It was thanksgiving 1971. Since then we have gone back off and on over the years. So here it is 50 years...

looks to me that it is another way to limit use. If you can get a campfire permit on line it would seem to me a camp permit on line should also be possible. Les,lqhikers

You tube is your expert, their are many reviews comparing all the panels together Les, lqhikers

Sorry Espresso, it will be past your lifetime, and mine before their will be less demand for gas and diesel, please if you are going to drink the kool aid try to remember that the world is not just San Francisco and Calif. Off course this is my opinion your is allowed to differ. Les, lqhikers.

We live near Palm Springs ca. and every time we head north we have to go through a very, very windy pass (I-10) never was a problem in the transit. Les,lqhikers

Had a 2016 ford transit med roof van and converted it to camper layout no problem with stock suspension. If you go to "ford transit usa forum" you can find out every thing you have questions about . Les.lqhikers

As someone who bores quickly i started exploring a set up we could use both in our 2020 tacoma and our honda awd crv below is what we ended up with. First we wanted to have a fridge that would keep ice frozen,You know for that evening cocktail, or scoop of ice cream. Of course went with internet...

We are on our second Northstar 600ss and love it. Had FWC for a few years and it did the job great. At the time we had the FWC we did a lot of off road trips (Baja,etc.) But now we tend to spend longer times on the road and the Northstar has a lot of advantages. Number one is the queen size...

Use ours all the time. Makes it nice when we end up picking up other campers crap in areas we use. Les,lqhikers

Hi Ann. I'm on my second Northstar 600ss. Have had 4w camper on single cab 4x4 toyota in past great unit but as we gained in years the bed mattress was our downfall and went looking for a different set up. Then went with our first Northstar on Toyota 4x4 access cab was perfect full size queen...
