Just received ours . . . . took about one month. Thanks again to Cayuse for bringing this great deal to everyone's attention.

Regarding your "jobby job" dilemma . . . . does teaching have any appeal to you? Many find it to be a most rewarding endeavor, and it provides a fair amount of time to travel, or pursue other things that are of interest to you. Over the years, the "ski3pins" have probably posted more trip...

I wax mine at least once a year, more if taking extended trips. It's really not that difficult. Mr. Mcintyre, why don't you take a small area of the camper skin and apply medium (white) rubbing compound, followed by a good coat of wax. If that does not make the area look great, you haven't...

This is an exciting time for you . . . . new truck, new camper, new adventures awaiting. Very cool! As others have noted above. I believe you could probably make no changes and be OK, BUT, you will feel much more comfortable if you add the air bags prior to making the trip to NH. Regarding...

I agree with Iowa Hiker re. the Spearfish/Rapid City area, however, heading west last summer we came upon a very nice FS campground in northeastern Wyoming just off of I-90 called Bear Lodge. Not too far west of Spearfish but only a few folks in the CG, and a tranquil setting. You might check...

We learned about http://www.allstays.com from Bill Harr and a few others on this site several years ago, and have had very good luck with that app.

For Sale - 2014 Tacoma Double Cab, 4x4, long bed, set up for FWC or ATC camper (Ride Rite air bags, "E" rated tires, mounting hardware for ATC Bobcat installed in bed, Yakima wind deflector). Truck only, camper has already been sold. The truck is in excellent condition - used exclusively as a...

Congratulations Frank. I am sure that in your new role, you will be a great asset to this site.

Cayuse - Thanks a lot. This is very timely, as we have two trips to Canada planned for this year. I just ordered my free pass. - Richard

We were there in early January last year and stayed at the Cottonwood CG. As you mention, it is a pop up camper's heaven; there are tons of remote camp areas but we, unfortunately, due to time constraints were not there long enough to explore them. Permits are required for these spots, so you...

Mr. Sage - We bought two of those NF Dolomites a few years ago and they work well for us in all but very cold weather. As you are thinking of doing, we augment them with Costco down throws. For some reason, it seems that my old "tried and true" North Face -5 degree down bag has shrunken in the...

Mr. Crow - We had a 1989 Fleet for about 10 years and Fleets are not on your list for 89.

Granby is a town in Colorado, the state where Four Wheel Campers were originally manufactured. I believe that that is where the name comes from. I'll bet that Jeff from ATC can confirm or refute that, as he was with FWC in the early days. How about it, Jeff?

Yet another use for the Rubbermaid Roughnecks :)

I just found a photo of the Rubbermaid system we use in our Jeep.

Like COBlue, we have used Rubbermaid Roughneck containers for many years, and we use them for the reasons he mentions. Two additional benefits are that they are available in many different colors (we put dry foods in one color, emergency gear in a different color, etc.) and they only cost $6.00...

Grandview, or other overlooks at the Island in the Sky. Weather and road conditions permitting, a drive down the Shafer Trail usually gets the attention of first time visitors to Canyonlands. Goblin Valley?

Often times, rain will do the trick, however, in this case, I spent about $12.00 in quarters at a spray wash facility in Fairbanks to get the rig cleaned up.

Rob - We have driven to Alaska three different times (2007, 2010, and 2014) and plan to go again next fall. We are not good at doing trip reports (something that I hope will change in 2017) but here is a You Tube link to our 2014 trip that may be of interest to you. I agree that planning a...

Thanks for the heads up, ETAV8R - I just ordered a Soft 20 as a Christmas gift for myself.

I'm with Mr. Sage. We are big AB fans . . . been going there since the early 70s. It is one of places that encourages dispersed camping and there are countless canyons to explore. In my opinion, you can not go wrong adding AB to your agenda. This photo was taken at our camp up Mine Canyon...

That one (Bus Depot) does look good, and is less expensive. Brenda, you make a good point about moving a lot. We always bring the Twin Butte Car tarp but seldom use it, as we often arrive at a camp in the early evening and hit the road the next morning. We only bring the Clam if we know we...

We bought ours in 2010; I did not realize that they were no longer available. When I was researching covers back then, several WTW members provided examples of what they were using. I remember that Sunman had a framed cover from Kelty that he and his family liked quite a bit. BTW, the BA Twin...

It is a Big Agnes Twin Butte Car Tarp. If you are not familiar with them, Big Agnes is a company similar to The North Face, Sierra Designs, etc. Jeff at ATC fabricated and installed two small aluminum brackets, one on each side of the top of the back wall of the camper. Each bracket is...

I posted this picture of our 6' x 6' Clam a few months ago on another thread. It is not as large as most of the covers you are looking at but for two people, it works very well. With the three rain/wind panels attached it becomes a snug and secure shelter. It is relatively light weight, is...
