I made centering blocks for each corner and it really helps. I never have to nudge the camper anymore to get it in just the right location in the truck bed. And the turnbuckles never loosen.

Check out the Saltmade side racks. https://saltmade.co/products/fwc-side-rack-jack-bracket-based-80-20-rack-system It looks like it is on sale.

Here is my Bobcat build, in case it helps. https://www.wanderthewest.com/forum/topic/14579-bobcat-prototyping-build/?hl=prototyping

Yes, if using 1/2” ply, Baltic birch is the way to go. I’ve also used other 1/2” plywood, such as Luan, for other applications. It is tempting, because it is less expensive, but it is rather bendy and not nearly as strong as Baltic birch. For the Baltic birch, look for a commercial sheet goods...

Here is the reply I got from Walabot support. Walabot, unfortunately, does not detect aluminum framing or 12 volt wiring in RV walls. Feel free to contact us with any further questions or feedback. Best Regards, Walabot Team

How much do you need to raise the camper to clear the high bed walls on the Colorado?

Has anyone tried one of these on a camper wall? https://walabot.com/diy Supposedly it shows studs, wiring, etc. Obviously this is designed for a regular house, so I wonder how it performs on aluminum camper studs, 12 volt wiring, etc. It is expensive, so it would be hard for me to justify the...

Modular toolboxes by Bosch, Dewalt, Milwaukie, etc. are in various sizes. Maybe not your exact size. Sturdy, but spendy.

The Saltmade brackets with 80/20 are designed to be a starting point. https://saltmade.co

I upgraded from a cheapie butane stove to an Iwatani. Iwatani 35FW Butane Stove, Medium, Metallic https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00522F2R2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_RC28ZXPNWRT9ACHT2E8F?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 It is more expensive, but worth it. It has a higher BTU output, and the flame is full...

I use a combination of two by eights and rubber pavers.

I found these wire baskets. Three baskets just fit between the bed slides and the rear wall. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07M6MQQJW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_MVRHESFZZMQXFW9GY3X8?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 With the top down, the pop-up fabric makes a lid so nothing bounces out during travel. The...

Take into account that the sun angle is much lower in the winter months, which greatly reduces the solar gain on panels mounted flat. That is a big reason you need extra panel watts. Being able to tilt your panels to the sun angle would really help. In my case, I already have over 300 watts in...

Has anyone checked out Sunflare panels? https://www.sunflaresolar.com/recreational They are expensive. The technology looks pretty interesting. Could be longer lasting.

And I have a 2016 bobcat. I think the standard height is 6‘2“. I ordered the extra 2 inches in height. So mine is about 6’ 4” inside. My camper is frozen shut and covered in snow right now, so I can’t measure exactly. We are having quite the ice storm in Oregon.

I have a Bobcat on a 2008 Nissan Frontier. I can definitely recommend the Bobcat. My wife and I love it! I ordered a Bobcat shell. The only really "weighty" thing I ordered with the shell is the furnace. I added solar and a 110 ah AGM battery, so that adds weight. The side dinette and...

I have a ATC bobcat on which I replaced the SAE with that same cutting edge housing that Jack used. There was not enough slack in the wire to do the job from the roof. I had to remove one of the ceiling wood strips inside and carefully slit the headliner so I could make the connections from...

I have the upper passenger side cabinet from my Bobcat I'm not using. Where are you located?

I have a 2008 Frontier with a ATC Bobcat shell. Cooper E rated tires. 45 lbs front, 55 lbs rear. Airbags at 40 lbs left (furnace/propane side, so heavier), 35 lbs right. It seems to ride good. I set the air bag pressure by what it takes to bring the rear tire clearance back to what it would be...

We love our Lagun table mount. https://www.marineteak.co.uk/lagun-adjustable-swivelling-cockpit-table-mounting-system-331 We use it for our side dinette table. But I think it would adapt to this use.

Hooks! Gotta have 'em. Hang your hat, dishtowel, headlamp, you name it. The lift panel over the door is a good place for hooks. Command hooks work, but sometimes I want more hooks, or hooks in a different place. Ace Hardware has these belt key clips for $1.99. Remove the ring and bend one...
