I have had 2 different six pac campers on Tacoma's one was on a single cab 4 cy. the other was on extended cab v/6 never had any problems. But you need to add air bags, or heavy springs. Will you be over the stated weight limit on your truck? probably. With this in mind if you drive knowing the...

When we are all out this weekend take a minute to thank those who served so we can live the great life we do. Les, lqhikers

Glad to see you finely picked up you tiger. Do you post on tiger website? Agree with the counter top shortage first thing we did when we planned our Ford Transit conversion was to insure counter space sure makes a difference with meal prep. might be one of reasons we still have our Transit...

Iowahiker, that was one thing we noticed with the taller rig, some narrow canyons you had to be careful of and found quite a few trails that tree branch overhangs were a problem ended up carrying good sized pruning shears and hand saw! one thing i might suggest is to ask if access to battery...

Good choice we ordered a 2012 bengal as you have, but ordered a chevy 1 ton work truck chassis.gas. Ordering the work truck gave us manual windows, manual hubs, and most important manual transfer case, no electrics to screw up.also ordered a large escape hatch over bed ( i think that item is...

Listed on yesterday Palm Springs Ca Craigslist under rv/motorhome a great looking alaskan camper. Les,lqhikers

Milt, your sketches and story line bring back memories that photos do not. Bahia Basilo is just as i remember it can almost visualize the camp spot you were at. Thank you again for the best postings on wander the west. Les,lqhikers

My thoughts on sand driving with truck/camper not to be confused with jeep buggy play. First you did not mention if your ram is 4x4, type of diff.(locking ?) tire size. all will effect out come. When i drove in Baja, beach, soft sand roads always look for your stopping spot and make sure you...

Nice internet picture. But having spent many a day and night in the hills i have seen a lot of different skies ,colors, and moons, I'll stick with the real thing thank you. Les,lqhikers

old school here, do a walk around before first drive of day (i'm a one time trucking co. owner) still can feel a below normal tire as i drive, that being said our ford transit conversion recently threw the tire fault light, stopped check pressure every thing ok, light still on. Ok i will use...

I really like the set up, makes me want to go back to a pop up again! Looking forward to interior pics and how it works in the real world. Les,lqhikers

Thought i would see if any of you east side travelers have every run across this neat gem while exploring the "hills" Les,lqhikers

Being a long time fwc owner who switched out of boredom we now have a ford transit van happy with it but wow can you put a lot of "stuff" in it, will probably not see some items until we sell it ! Les,lqhikers

do not forget the "burners" will be heading home along 395 along with regular weekenders! This is the weekend we stay home. things will be calm after the migration ! Les,lqhikers

Thanks guys, kind of what i saw but it was a smaller hull set up with fwc in center facing forward same as if on truck. I would want to go small as possible to make it realistic to tow. Wife has even talked about doing the down river trip on the Mississippi,after looking up such a trip i"m...

Couple of years ago we were kayak fishing in Idaho at Pettit lake (near Stanley) and spotted a mid size pontoon boat with a FWC mounted on it. Look like it was done correctly steering was up front (i think) so camper was centered. Have been trying to find some info on the net, but no luck As...

You can still make it work, just buy one of the cheap 12v fans at walmart. Make a bracket to clip to or just hold by hand at your vent should work the same. Les,lqhikers

Simple! We had a Northstar mc600and loved it. The trick is to close rear door make sure all windows are closed turn on roof vent to exhaust and sides will suck in as you lower top, fail proof! Your welcome! Les,lqhikers

I have read the above posts and agree with some and not so with others. I have figured out my thoughts so here they are. 1. I'm old retired able to buy what i want, could care less what "new" item is available. 2. I do not forget the good old days (do we forget all the breakdowns the good old...

Seems like if the old timers were able to send salt over the hill us modern experts should be able to pump hot water from Saline to keep us warm in the winter :P Les,lqhikers

As we always use Alabama hills as our first stop/night when we go to the mountains, most times spend 3-4 days each trip in area. As most of you that use the hills you know it has heavy use and this may be the down fall. We were there last week and talking to a local who knows/cares that due to...

Was in Lone Pine last week (we always go before the busy weekend!) Talked to a local with knowledge,not gossip that a coupe of things planned that sounds true are, 1 plan to cut down palms (not native?) 2,fence area to keep wild burro's out. As someone who have been going to Saline since...

Have gone through a lot of chairs over the years using a couple of Harbor Freight chairs now, cut off the table section. Might not work for "weight challenged people" but i'm someone who likes to lean back in a chair and this one has held up great, light weight and good frame design. Price is...

We had a Northstar mc600 for a awhile and loved it, able to go everywhere we did with fwc . One thing we did was to tap into thermostat and add switch in storage bin on front side of bed, as we sleep without heater on it was nice to turn heater on in morning without leaving bed! I assume you...

nice set up, glad to see someone who does not worry about weight! But would not look forward to cleaning after a good run down a silty road. Les,lqhikers
