Field Report Happy Thanksgiving Everyone. Even with Covid , hope you all have been able to camp this year. For me I inflamed my sciatic nerve in June so haven't camped since February. I was one of the lucky ones who soaked in the Saline Valley Hot Springs before they drained the tubs and locked...

Hi Mtn. Welcome to the family. My experience. As you read under my signature we have a 1100 pound Eagle improved shell sitting on a 2013 Tacoma V6 4WD. Camper is bolted down full time. Truck stock is rated at 5,500 pounds. When setup to go to the desert for one week it weighs 6,200 pounds with...

Calif Gov Newsom has cancelled all gatherings for the foreseeable future. We hope we can get together next June in Northern Cal. Time will tell. Everyone take care and stay. safe.

Nik I love your garage. Haven't had one of those in over 23 years. Garages around here with houses attached cost $550K and up and still don't have that much room in them.

Hi Bob. Thanks for sharing buying the Model B. We are just about there too. Last year it was my shoulder. This year Sciatica - 9 weeks now. Haven't camped since the Hot Springs in February, and I'm getting too old to do that . Did not have much fun, hanging out with folks 20 years younger...

Field Report - Propane bottles and stove regulators The below credits to Beach a contributor to a recent Post by " Camper Sam" If you decide to carry one pound bottles get some of the brass caps(amazon) to seal them as they are prone to leaking. I've had them leak enough to trip the propane...

Beach has a good idea. Here is the link for many choices Brass Cap I have never experienced a leaking bottle in the 55 years I have been using one, still I will buy 2 of them for when I use part of a bottle in my stove or barbecue. Speaking of propane stove regulators. We have Coleman...

Ok My mechanic has always been conservative in his recommendations.

Hi Bob I notice you have a second battery mounted on your rear rack with panniers (think they are called that ) on either side. Riding 13,000 miles in 26 months have been some serious road trips. I ride mine for exercise once or twice per week and to check out the eye candy at the beaches in San...

Allan, He said a full Stop on concrete and asphalt...NOT dirt. Thanks Fish And I have an OOPs as follows" Because the truck and camper (5,200 pounds empty) are heavy we change out the transmission and transfer case fluids every 15,000 miles. Remember this is a Tacoma Not a fill size regular...

Field Report Allan B has an interesting Post on lubricating a 2020 Tacoma 4x4 That prompted me to phone my mechanic (Toyota/Lexus factory trained mechanic) and ask him if I can drive in 4WD on pavement to lubricate the transfer case. We have a 2013 Tacoma 4WD His reply: My mechanic says...

We have a 2013 Tacoma 4WD My mechanic says to stop on asphalt, Put it in 4 wheel High then drive 3 or 4 blocks below 55 mph which is enough time to lubricate the transfer case. I can make sweeping right or left turns and it won't hurt the case. Come to a full stop again...The put it back...

Second reply to SmIobx Subject is Solar Charging battery pack Click on the link. DIY project ...still expensive. Uses 4 - 100 watt solar panels charging a Lithium battery. Gotta be a cheaper way. I suppose one could buy a separate battery for around $500 then you would have a 50-100 mile...

Just a reminder. For all fit questions contact Stan at the factory. stan@fourwh.com.

whatever mat or mats you put in. Verify they don't compress under the load

Bemus, You should be fine. I towed a Suzucki Samurai(2,300 pounds plus firewood, beer, etc) Up and down hills 5,000 miles in 4 years With no towing brakes. and no problems. Truck, camper, gear and food, adult beverages pushed the load up to 6,000 pounds. for a week off the grid We have the...

Reminds me of my old Flip-Pac with a much sturdier and warmer top. It will work well with those that love shells and the lower price is a definite good thing. Dust Shove foam on the sides of the tail gate will definitely keep the dust down And put everything in storage boxes with tight lids...

BMUS Our 2012 Eagle shell measurement is 3 feet 9.5 inches. From Top of the door shell to bottom of the camper. Remember to duck when going in and go backwards when you go out. I'm 6 foot one inch and 220 pounds. After I banged my head a few times my body got used to the door height. Enjoy...
