Aluminess Bumpers Sweet ! : ) Also look forward to our new articles coming soon on the build up of our new Toyota Tacoma -- "2012 Tacoma Build Up". Can we have some more photos Stan? I would like to see what you have going with the rear bumper. Are there storage boxes back there? How is...

I have about 2 Weeks in total. The G/F wants to do it closer to 12. I think 12 weeks sounds much better than 2. :D

x2 to Les' reasons for a pass through.

The route along the North Shore of Lake Superior is stunningly beautiful, with many camping opportunities. Going south and getting on an interstate will be the fastest, but you will see nothing. Where do you want to spend your time? If you went south you could then spend the couple days that...

Get this one, it is perfect. (You will need to install an inside switch for it.) Thanks to westyss for posting information about his outside light. The Smart Light with Star Monitor I also installed this outside light, these are great, has a motion detector and came with LED, very...

Sounds like you got lucky, good for you! And yes, we want to see some photos.

Congratulations!

A friend with a 1/2 ton and large camper was pulled off the road last summer... Ticketed? Or just a warning?

I do it all the time. Fill a 1-1/2 gallon tank from a 5 gallon. I have a hose with 2 male fittings on it. Hang the big tank upside down, open both valves and open the vent screw until vapor comes out. Remember, LPG is a liquid and that is what you are transferring. I verify how full it is on a...

All RVs represent trade-offs, and we have to decide what we must give up in order to continue camping. Very true. Keep us posted on what you decide to do.

I don't think it looks too goofy :D Looks like it is made for the truck. I think it looks great!

Noticed new skirts under the trailers on the big rigs. It looked like it was for wind deflection to increase aerodynamics and increase mileage. We hadn't seen these before. The rigs with the ''skirts'' have a lot less dirty air behind them. I have first hand knowledge of this because I bike on...

I understand that it is ''our'' forum, but somebody did just buy it to make money from it. Maybe if it was member owned/run and had no advertising.

If I remember correctly the Falcon will not slide all the way forward. So it will sit about 1 foot back from the cab.

I got under the Tacoma yesterday to look for any spots underneath. It looks like there is room for Jerry can along the frame between the left rear wheel and the bumper. I am going to Northern Tool to buy a Jerry can, walk out to the parking lot and see if it fits. I'll return it and do with...

Just because something can be done doesn't mean it should be done. Yes, I understand that. I know there is a solid seal because the cans will hold a high vacuum/pressure for several days, even a couple weeks. Like I said, I would be fine with carrying them inside the camper if it was diesel...

I carry my gas in Wedco Nato (non-CARB) cans, and have never had any leaks. They also hold a seal going through 10,000 foot elevation changes. So I would feel okay with carrying them inside the camper if it was diesel, but with gas it is still a bit worrying.

....looks like just some stealth camping at a rest stop on my way home :) Will have to wait until mid April for a full shakedown. Same for me. Below, my first night in the camper.

This is my favorite solution. Thanks to Ted/Magellan over on WTW for this idea. Here is the write up on the rear mounted jerry can holder. Link And the Adventure Trailers aluminum jerry can holder. Link (This thing is great, very impressed with this item.)

:D

Welcome Dan!

Somewhere I read something about filling the small camper propane tank by connecting it a larger bulk tank. We recently started using a propane stove, and we have two 100lb portable tanks for the oven. If I am correct I can connect my 15lb camper tank to the 100lb tank and the propane will...

Cool trip. ;)

With the Van you get: That is interesting, as I was wondering the same thing. The pass through would be worth it alone.

Alhtough,Overland seems to make the 1/2 ton work. Not sure if you have read through my build thread, but I am doing without a lot of things that most people have in their camper. Not much GVWR to work with on the Tacoma. If you want to load up the camper I would even look at a full 1 ton...
