Randonneur, Please don't take my comment as being critical. I love my camper, 260 plus nights in the last one, 126 plus in the new one so far. Can't imagine a much better setup for us to explore the west(?).

My two pennies, I bring a ladder like TM with me always in the cab. In the winter, if snow is forecast I set my alarm every two hours or so. if needed, I climb up and sweep the roof off. Will be adding some blocks to reinforce the sides, my roof is a little longer than standard, but feel like...

Still digging my ATC.

yes, think it was about 1800.00 figured that over the amount of time if expect to own this, it wasn't bad. Didn't want to look like i was delivering sea-food. w

Craig, I would think it depends on the type of bed and installation. I run 35s on my 2016. leveled front, and rear suspension was modified to keep level, but no real lift. Is this going to be a cab and chasis bed, or will you take of the regular bed and then put a flatbed on. My bed is about 5...

Lots of great areas down around Yellowstone. I live between Bozeman and West Yellowstone, let me know if you come by my neck of the woods. First beverage is on me. Well, maybe two.

Gaylon, have wedge locks on both, extender and main part of unit. Will try your idea though, usually put the whole thing together then put the tire up there.

Have had mine on for over a year, no playin hitch and no rattles. It does lean a bit to one side, have spoken with them at length on this, it is because I had to use an extension. Have also pulled people out of the sand at lake powell, no issues. Not much else out there for a full size spare...

Ditto on the flatbed. Having had both types of bed/camper setups and still using the truck as a truck its hard to beat a flatbed. Bigger trucks can sometimes limit travel due to size, some trails get a bit tight, but not as often as I had feared originally.

Ah yes, another member of the tribe. Congrats.

I have one of the aire inflatables, love it for lakes and rivers. Bought a used folbot last year, its great as well, more for ocean and big lakes. Have carried on or the other for a while, great for baja.

Wow, I love this place. Wife and I have been talking about getting one of these for months. Boom, coming Friday!

Welcome! Some amazing folks on here. This group made my jump to truck camper life sooo much easier. Happy trails to you and yours.

Wow, great thread guys. I agree with all that I have read here. We are constantly changing cooking plans to suit location, time of year, weather etc. Have lived around Yellowstone for most of the last 30 years, animals are a consideration. We do cook in and outside, temps and weather being the...

Would this unit or others like it be a way to communicate on a basic level with a loved one in Namibia?

Yes, my first was a litecraft. Had it in a 2003 F250. Well built, took it anywhere the truck fit. Held up great. 250 nights in it. Sold it to my buddy, he's got it in his tundra. Beefed up the suspension, but it is doing great for him. Solid campers for the price in my opinion. w

Times 2 on Wilco, have used a hitch gate, wobble free extension for a year now, many rough roads/trails. Had a minor issue in baja, but their customer service is top-notch. Problem fixed. I always carry two spares.

Anyone passing through my neck of the woods is welcome to come by for a beer/coffee etc. Would love to share(steal) ideas. w

My two Abe Lincolns, What they all said above. And be honest with yourself about where you want to take your camper. I personally like a hardside at times, but way to many downsides for what I do. My buddie has a huge lance, slide out, plush etc. Its heavy, crushes his 1 ton dually and sways all...

Will try to add to the already good answers. 1. When I ordered mine, painting was not an option. I looked into painting, but in the end had it wrapped. Matches pretty well and if it gets beat up or scratched, can be replaced. 2. Not sure. 3. On my old camper truck combo, yes I could crawl...

Glad you had a great trip, we were there in Dec/Jan. What an amazing place, wonderful people.

The Buckstop "outback" model is available in aluminum, was told by dealer it would shave 90 is pounds off.

x3 on the XL with vinyl floor. Also have the husky liners. The seats always have custom seat covers anyway. Twice in the last week spilled a full cup of coffee in my other truck, carpet soaked with coffee, in MT, in the winter. Great. No more carpet.

Am in the same boat, the shop that works on my truck sell ARB and Buckstop. Recomends the buckstop, says the ARB is heavy and doesn't fit the superduty as well, by that he feels the lines are better with the Buckstop.

Cool idea with the propex heater and boot dryer. Betting a lot of folks on here could use something like that. Nice camper.
