DItto on the Little Red Campfire, even bought the grate for it and have cooked meals on it.

One Sock, Hi and welcome to one of the best sites on the internet. I have a 9 foot flatbed/camper on the back of my 2016 F350 CC LB. i too am pretty good at getting the bigger trucks where i want to be. In reality, only you can determine you vehicles ability. i would worry a bit personally about...

The crowds on that road are about as bad as i have ever witnessed. A friend has a cabin off of Highway 2, and while i will visit him, i will not drive the road anymore unless i start before sunrise. With this new wrinkle i may be done for a while, other great areas around there, the huge uptick...

Vic, Yes, truck has an 8 foot bed originally. Company in Eugene, OR fabbed the protech bed for me, adding the extra foot to it's length and the tool box in the back. It is a bit long, especially with some type of hitch mounted accessories. Still has not been a real issue offroad, due to me...

JHanson, thanks great article. I have often wondered about brake "upgrades".

Vic, Mine is a f350 cc with a 9 foot flatbed. 7x9 camper from atc. Departure angle is limited somewhat by rear hitch/spare tire. Have been to almost every place on your list, not texas. Truck has never failed me, there was a road in Beef Basin i didn't go down, a jeep did and wished he didn't...

Vic, Problem was solved. Polarity issues with plugs. System had work fine before, encountered a bad plug. Replaced both ends of connectors, one from panel and one for roof. Upon testing, found the plugs had reverse polarity. Switched the wires on both, tested. Re-connected old controller...

Craig, Thanks, for the record, am changing/checking polarity on cables from panels, will check polarity on roof flange/plug. Batteries are of proper polarity. Unit was purchased from amazon, only way to get one around here. Will start all over again to see where i am after.

Hi All, Hoping someone may be able to help, in a bit of a rush. Solar panel on ATC 150-160 watt renogy basic solar controller Bought similar panel from atc with pig tail in late fall Hooked up, but camper not used much this winter Getting ready for upcoming trip 4/15 noticed plug/outlet on roof...

Where are my pants? What did i just step in? Is the propane on? How hard is the wind blowing? Are we safe from Bears? Can anyone tell what is going on inside?

There are a few other alternatives that i would strongly suggest you look at. If you care to send me a private message, i will tell you my reasons why.

Don't know about you guys, but i hope this whole "overlanding" fad goes away and soon. I am happy for those that have found a passion for the outside world. Most of us i would wager have been at this for a very long time. Coming from many different paths to get here. The social media stuff...

Not sure if it is trim/model specific, but i have a 2020 F350 remote start, stx package and i always leave a set in the truck. I have had no issues with it locking when i lock the door. In MT we will leave or trucks running in the winter sometimes when it gets really cold say - 10 or so.

I have an F350 with a 9 foot flatbed, works well for our needs. I may sell my current work truck 2020 f350 and go the 450 0r 550 route, if so i will do at least a 9 foot bed and maybe 10 foot Good luck on this.

I like Valley of the Gods Beef Basin Canyon Lands Escalante Bear Ears Toroweap Lake Powell-great paddling All of Baja-especially south of Mulege

I have used the torklift steps since the camper was built. If you zoom in, you should see that there is a bar that the steps are connected to. i use quick snap links to hold the steps to the bar. When traveling, i take them off and sit them inside the door.

Flatbeds can be awesome, i have one under my camper and have also used it for work in the past. If i keep my current work truck i will put the same bed on this truck as well. That being said, i spent a fair amount for mine, and it was not tricked out like what has become popular now. If you have...

I have a truck similar to yours, i air down frequently. Though, my tires/wheels are not stock. And i do drive on sand and snow etc. For trails i go down to about 40-45 psi for soft sand/snow i go down to 20-22 psi Have been in the teens once or twice as well. i carry and arb twin portable air...

I was going to say "i taught him that", then i tried the same news. Now i can't get out of my chair. Happy New Year folks!

I spend most of the year at a resort in Montana, and while i realize our snow is lighter, the weight is a concern of mine. For me, after every six to eight inches i broom it off. I found that anymore snow than that gets to hard to move. Part of the curse of living up here i guess.

We have had an occasional problem with wetness in the front, but in the end i believed it was a combination of condensation and leaky front windows. I try to be more obsessive now with drying the front out completely. Just spent two nights on the coast and with a great deal of ventilation, still...

Hi, What year, model etc. Also, any damage to roof? Holes, split seams? Windows can leak pretty badly and could possibly be mistaken for a bad roof. With the rain we have had over on this side, nothing surprises me.

Thank You Mr. Ski! DVNP was a possible destination for us for the next two weeks. While we are sad that our plans have changed, it was great to see more of the area through your travels.

ok, my thoughts here. First of all i drive Jeff batty. Marty is always there soften the blow, but i am not the easiest client. Now that, that is out of the way. i wanted my flatbed camper to be built at 7 foot wide, 9 foot long. The counters were built to my spec. No dinnete, Everything, at my...

i have wondered/worried about cog, i had ATC put our 30 gallon (ish) tank right under the window up against the back wall. Both propane tanks(one on either side) are beside that. Balanced out both cabinets, five feet long per side. Most of the weight is low and forward. Camper is up there...
