"Iowahiker" is a regular WTW contributor. They have a standard cab, 8' bed F150 with a HD payload package that I believe is 2,900 lbs. Look at some of his posts. They have a Granby with no additional springs, air bags, etc. and have made many trips around the US with great success. If you...

Sorry to hear about the tragic passing of your friend aboard a 46. Senseless loses like that are extra difficult to accept. We'd better get back to R-pods or the site administrators are going to chastise us. Semper fi to you as well.

Not looking for a fight, Steve; my post above was supposed to have a smiley face. Richard

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: Yes, Steve, a fine aircraft . . . . . once they stopped breaking in two.

X2 on AllStays.

As a point of clarification regarding the tires. I ordered the truck from Ford with the optional LT tires, thinking that they were "E" rated. When the truck arrived they were LT, but "C" rated . . . . a disappointment. I then purchased new Cooper AT/3s from my local tire guy and he sold my...

Hi Elliott - Welcome to the forum. One year ago, I was in your exact situation. Owned and loved a Tacoma/Bobcat rig but was looking for a bit more room. Bought a 2017 F150 Supercab (V8 with 2,200 pound payload capacity) and a fairly loaded Hawk (delivery weight of 1,278 pounds). Since we got...

We were in DV over Thanksgiving weekend and were shocked to see the $3.09 price at Stovepipe. We are currently paying $2,99 in central California (Sierra foothills).

This is our current set up (Ford Super Cab) but we had the same truck as you, and did the same thing. A simple plywood panel provides a good base and we like to use these Rubbermaid boxes. They are inexpensive ($6.00 or $7.00), lightweight, quite durable (for inside applications), not too deep...

If you find a camper within three or four hours of Sacramento, negotiate with the seller to meet you at the FWC or ATC factory and pay a few bucks to have the appropriate factory transfer the camper from the previous owner's truck to your truck. That would be a simple and safe solution. Good...

Congratulations, Bob . . . . and best of luck with this new chapter of your life.

X3 on Navajo National Monument. We have stayed there many times over the years (most recently in 2015). Free admission to the monument, free camping in nice campgrounds, free ranger-guided and self-guided tours, and access to the cliff dwellings of Betatakin and Keit-Seel. Close to Monument...

We take pictures of the camper in all different settings . . . . . we refer to them as "baby pictures."

Congratulations, my friend. Great job!

We purchased the Easy Hitch Step (two step model) three months ago and absolutely love it. Pricey, yes, but for us worth it. We just returned from an extensive trip where we encountered an inordinate amount of rain. No more did we need to put the muddy steps inside the camper. As was pointed...

Just did it - Thanks, Craig.

We highly recommend Muchalat Lake, just north of Gold River via logging road. A spectacular setting!

One more.

Can't top the pronghorn photo, but at Tuff Guy's urging we did go out to the Carrizo yesterday and had a great day. While we did not encounter the traffic jams of last weekend, there were an incredible number of "flower folks" out there for a Tuesday.

A 36 gallon tank is a $445.00 option on F150s, so I assume the same would hold true on the 3/4 and 1 ton models.

SeatoSea - Thanks for posting the review of your trip. It is timely, as we are planning a similar trip in a few months, except we will be doing it in reverse. This will be our third trip to the Maritimes, and while we will spend some time in New Brunswick, PEI, and Nova Scotia, the primary...

Timothy, where/how did you mount the Ford camera?

Glad that things worked out so well for you.

Contact Jeff or Marty at ATC. As I understand it, when FWC was in Colorado in the early days Jeff worked there and has a particular affection for them. They (ATC) have refurbished several of them in the last few years and know quite a bit about them.

Hey, Peter - I think the concern with getting to Sheep Canyon Camp has less to do with whether or not your rig will make it, and far more to do with the hordes of park visitors. Exactly one year ago (March 18, 19, and 20, 2016) we arrived in Coyote Canyon well after dark and just camped beside...
