Welcome - I got my Bobcat around March 24, and I've spent just as many nights in it as out of it since then. (I seem to sleep better in the camper.) Enjoy - post pics!

I know it's not boondocking, but Sims Flat on I-5, maybe forty miles north of Redding, CA. Nice campground - I had it to myself last Saturday. Ruins of the first ever CCC camp in the US, plus a suspension bridge to nowhere, all next to the confluence of Hazel Creek and the Sacramento River...

You call ATC, and an owner picks up the phone. Everytime. Plus, as previously stated, you get what YOU want, and maybe more importantly, leave out what you don't want. For me, 'nuff said. Of course, YMMV. I didn't know about the TIG vs MIG weld difference. All I know is that Jeff, Marty and Co...

I just got through ordering the Control Towers and Landing Pad #1. The discount code didn't apply since the member's deal doesn't start until March 18. I contacted REI to cancel the order, and they told me that it (the deal) wouldn't apply since they're already discounted 20%! So I didn't...

I knew this would happen, mere weeks after ordering mine!

If you know someone who is looking for a sweet shell for their Tacoma, they can save some serious coin by buying my used one - I'm selling my Leer camper shell off my 2011 Tacoma because I'm getting a ATC Bobcat (can't wait!) Craigslist linkie here. Included in the shell is a removable camper...

Couldn't find it. Dude, while this is a great place to sell your Eagle, a simple link would be thoughtful... just sayin'... :unsure:

Alley-Kat: Yep, I'm thinking the same thing - 1/2 birch ply, secure but removable, minimal weight. Like most people, I have a tendency to overbuild, so your insights are a good reminder for me. My plan is to just go camping as soon as I get the thing in late April, and start a wish list based on...

Thanks Adamdrummer, I'll check it out.... looks like they're in Grants Pass, north of Ashland. Jeff at ATC said I should be fine with the Firestone AirShocks, but I'm thinking another spring might be smart.

Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone! I've already picked up alot from some of your posts, especially the build threads. Adamdrummer, I don't plan on taking the camper on and off. I'll be off road quite often, so your advice is valuable. I guess I'll see how the airbags go... my attitude...

Very cool, we're getting our Bobcat shells built at the same time! Wander the West is going to have to guide us - sorta like a Lamaze class. :D

After many months of searching for a used FWC or ATC shell for my 2011 Tacoma, I finally went for a new ATC. I really like them both, customer service is apparently excellent with both - but I got a soft spot for smaller businesses, and Jeff has been great to work with so far.... So, from ATC...

Saw this on Craigslist: http://siskiyou.craigslist.org/rvs/5336163060.html Don't know the guy, or anything about Outfitter Caribous. Looks like a pretty sweet rig for a good price. Won't fit my Tacoma though! Sent from my iPad using Wander The West

Interested - is this your rig, CamperCamper?

Seems a bit pricey for a 20 year old camper. No mention of any upgrades or $$$ spent on maintenance, although it looks pretty clean. Make sure there are no leaks and the 'canvas' is in good shape, and that everything works. For that price, it should. Depending on where you live/camp, you may...

Somebody gonna score a sweet camper. I'm still sobbing over this one not fitting between the wheel wells of my truck. Who knew that there was a difference there between and 05 Tacoma and an '11? I thought they were the same in that range. Anyway, Nick has done a fine job on this FWC... GLWS!

Well, I've been lurking here for awhile, sussing out what it is that I want without spending a whole lot of dough. I was looking at possibly getting a new All Terrain shell and fixing it up as I go, but that was not going to happen soon because of limited funds. Then nixfwc posts this gem, and...

That won't last!!!

Don't overlook Bodega Bay, if you like the Pacific coast in November..http://www.bodegabay.com/things-to-do/rv-and-tent-camping
