Storage area under mattress at head of bed

Where we store our Porta Potti

May 3: SOLD Changed to $19k OBO, priced to move. This model is for an 8-foot truck bed (no rear overhang) and has an extended N-S cab-over (60" x 80" queen bed), power lift system with auto start/stop, and 200w roof solar with one AGM battery. One owner, no pets or smoking. Clear title...

The bed and the cab may flex somewhat and differently because they are attached to the frame and not to each other. Depending on your tiedowns the camper may also shift in any axis when you hit a pothole on the highway or negotiate ruts on an unmaintained road. A rule of thumb is 1.5" to 3" cab...

Another data point: Our 2014 Guanella with N-S bed and solar and one AGM battery, one 20# propane tank, no a/c, no boxes or awning, weighs 1900 lbs dry and 3050 wet with supplies.

No extension. Long enough because of the vertical-wall top where my head is.

My response is late, but FWIW we have been using the power top for over 7 years without a power issue even when the camper battery was down to 11 volts. It would be possible to hand crank the top although that would involve e unscrewing the facia which would be a pain. It sounds like your...

We have a Guanella with N-S bed. I'm 6'1" and it is comfortable. No ladder provided. Accessing the bed can be awkward using the battery case or counter. It's a long drop on slippery surfaces which can be misjudged in the dark when sleepy. I added a small portable step in the aisle which does not...

The Truma sounds nice but wasn't an option when we got our 2014 Hallmark. Nor was a lithium battery. We did get the skylight which is good for roof access, but even with the shade it lets in too much sun and moon for comfort. I had to make a completely opaque cover for it as they did not offer a...

Installation mistakes: (1) The Torklift AnchorGuard turnbuckles were assembled incorrectly by Hallmark which caused them to come loose. One loosened so much it fell off in the first 500 miles from the factory. Hallmark also purposely reversed the front and rear turnbuckles because they...

I loved Hallmark’s buying process and commitment to schedule. Their basic product is very good and they will work with you at customization. It was interesting to wander around their factory while our camper was being installed. I was not so taken with their installation mistakes, detail errors...

I’m surprised they lasted as long as they did. I wonder how many units were finally delivered? Their primary product (V1 on custom flatbed) was unique and had much potential, but they needed better focus and organization to succeed. We had an order for a V2 six years ago and visited the shop...

We were on generally the same route during the same week from north to south. Maybe we passed one another! Our southern destination was Rock Creek. Colors were varied but pretty good in places mostly at medium elevation. Not many people except at Convict Lake. A few images on the way south...

The ResMed AirSense 10 operates at 24V so a converter is required.

The Nova Kool is rated at 2.2A. We have the slightly smaller R3000 AC-DC. The AC is handy for reaching operating temp more quickly when the unit has been off and we are preparing for a trip, and for those rare occasions when we can plug in (visiting a friend, stopping at a full-service...

I too tried the CPAP machine on a cold fall trip where night temps were below freezing. The ResMed AirSense 10 was powered by a 12V rechargeable battery through a converter. I didn’t get much condensation but was bothered by the forced cold air (full mask) and by limited battery life. Also, I...

I have Torklift frame mount tie-downs and turnbuckles on a Ram HD which are strong and work well. They are custom designed for each brand and model so check to see how they will fit your truck. Running boards can cause the tie-downs of some models to stick down more. Call Torklift if you need...
