Lucy, I have a question about your truck. Can you offer any feedback on what type of mpg you experienced with your F150 when hauling your FWC Hawk? Which engine did you have in the truck? Thanks, TK

One of my favorite places. A pretty spectacular place. Last time my wife and I visited the area was about this time 2 years ago in 2018. We hadn't been to Page Springs in September for quite a while and were very surprised to see how busy it was compared to years back. It was filled every...

I think you already touched on the 2 key pros/cons of trailers. - A trailer allows one to drop the camping unit to serve as a base camp while you go out to explore. - A trailer poses maneuverability issues, particularly on back roads, restricting how far back in the boonies you can go. Those...

Not mine. Hard side Four Wheel Camper for Tacoma. You don't see these very often. https://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/rvs/d/happy-valley-2013-four-wheel-camper/7153848496.html

I'm not an expert on this, but I believe most of the reliability issues with the F150 3.5L Ecoboost were addressed when they introduced the 2nd generation 3.5L coupled with the 10 spd transmission for 2017 models going forward. I have a 2017 and have been very impressed with it, although I...

For a variety reasons, I'm steering clear of the more commercial A-frame popups. Having said that, there does appear to be a few on the market that people have been very happy with. Not many alternatives out there and what I've stumbled across so far requires a willingness to step up for...

Thanks Paul. I am familiar with the Intech Explore. Not quite as much room and stsnding height is only 5'6". Much better price point though. When down in SE Utah last year had a fellow camp next to us with one and a BMW 800 GS. He was pretty happy with it.

Anyone ever come across one of these? Interesting concept for carrying motorcycles, bikes, etc., while serving as a basic camping set up with off pavement capability. Looks like one can go from a "basic" variation to a "Pro" level depending on how it's optioned out. Not cheap and don't care...

This older Alaskan Camper was put up today on Portland Craigslist. https://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/rvs/d/troutdale-alaskan-truck-camper/7125510081.html

I agree regarding the touch screens. They are ignoring the maxim to "keep it simple". A year ago while heading down to the 4 corners region in our 2017 F150 w/trailer in tow, the Ford Sync 3 system starts going wonky while driving down the interstate toward Utah. Turning on and off, going...

Oregon just announced that they will be restricting all hunting, fishing and shell fish gathering to State residents starting this weekend. https://www.oregonlive.com/sports/2020/04/oregon-will-limit-hunting-fishing-to-state-residents-starting-this-weekend.html

Saw this on Craigslist. Located in Marysville, WA., north of Everett. https://seattle.craigslist.org/sno/tro/d/marysville-2019-four-wheel-camper/7097089689.html I think the post has been up for a few weeks.

simmers, how do you like your Escape 5th who? We are considering a 19ft Escape or possibly the new 21ft with the Queen bed. If we go that route, will likely sell the old Airstream.

I have a 2017 F150 4x4 Super Crew with the 3.5L Ecoboost, 10 spd, max tow pkg, etc. Do not have the payload package as I'm towing now with no camper. Great truck. Been very impressed so far. Had an older school '99 F250 SC 4x4 with 5.4L V8 for 20 years that I carried my FWC on. From a...

I've owned 2 FWC's between 1998 & 2019. 1st one was a Grandby, full camper Had it for 7 years and sold when we bought a vintage Airstream Trailer. Either camped out of the trailer or from a tent &/or truck canopy for 5 years. Missed the FWC for backroad exploring and bought a Grandby shell...

I've been using Mr. Heater Buddys for 16+ years. Have used one in 2 different FWC Granby's (1 full camper and 1 shell) and also an older Airstream. On my 2nd one now. Never had any issues with it them. As the video notes, I always have a window and the roof vent cracked to encourage air...

Does Bundutec offer power jacks for removing their campers from the truck?

windy, What type of camper are those barn doors mounted on?

I've used my Viar 400P-RV to bring up the pressure on all 8 tires on my Super Duty and trailer after they both sat for a while. No problem maintaining output. Does get warm though, so I usually let it cool a bit before stowing it back in it's storage bag. Of course, I've never tried taking 8...

My Viar 400P-RV came with 2 accordion style hoses. I was able to reach from the battery under the hood of my F250 all the way back to the tandem axles of my trailer. No problem reaching 80psi.
