Laura, Interesting question, I'll be following along to hear the answer as I sure don't have a clue on that one.

David, Welcome aboard and congrats on the camper, will be looking forward to updates on your progress. All the best.

pv, Thanks for the heads up, or was that "pull your head out", anyway I'll be checking ours out soon.

Can't give you any advice on green units but from experience I'd buy the largest most comfortable (read proper height and width) one you can find.

Rob, With the solar power available I'd probably go with an engel for the quality and ease of use. I've considered switching out our 3 way but the cost has been the stopper.

Oh Yah, it's time for the fun to begin.

It seems you've opened yourself up for it fish, just be sure no one shows up with a truck full of lumber and wants to built an effigy in the driveway to light on fire.

rex, Welcome aboard and congrats on the camper, you're going to love it. As was already said just tuck or fold the vinyl in before latching. Personally I'd always latch down in the rain or any potential windy time. Keep us posted and send more pics.

Ara, Welcome aboard, kc's report of your adventures and wanderings has sparked my and I'm sure others interest in your travels and I'll look forward to your posts. All the best.

mt, Mark the "remember me" box when you sign in and you won't get timed out, it took me quite a few months to figure that one out. The "Todays Posts" tab is on the main bar when you are not signed in and under "Quick Links" when you are signed in. When I am unable or forget, which is often, to...

Most excellent kc, glad you're back posting great reports and pics again, many thanks.

Wes, I have the same truck as you and the 2304 part is correct though I didn't have to use the spacer they mention. I bought my parts on line from "Michigan Truck" at www.Truckspring.com. The part ran about $260 and at the time shipping was free. Good luck and welcome aboard. I just...

e-bay comes through again and the Hella's will be more stylish anyway.

I'd say about 800# unloaded and around 950 to 1,000# when really loaded for a long trip. The truck has handled the loaded weight very well so far and I say so far because it hasn't been long enough to see what long term effect it will has on wheel bearings etc. As to options, be sure to get the...

Welcome to the forum. Your truck likely has the same suspension as mine with the exception of the TRD shocks. I've added a leaf, upgraded the shocks and add air bags to get the Tacoma to handle the way I wanted. Others have used just used super springs or air bags alone with good results. I like...

Katherine, Welcome aboard. I can't help you with camping with kids info as the only two we have is each other, but keep pushing for the FWC and you'll never regret it, we sure haven't. All the best.

Great first report, welcome to the forum, and as always we need pictures, pictures, pictures. All the best.

Ouch, that hurts!

Interesting idea and something I'll be considering in the future, thanks for posting.

I can't wait for the warm season either and it's only the last week of Feb. Skiing is really not that good even with all the new snow, it's gotten skied out way too fast and now it's raining. Season will likely end early and then it's on to camping. Enjoy.

mh, I'm guessing the smell etc. will go away, ours cleaned up quickly. On an old subject, did you come up with a good material to cover the fridge works against winter road grime? I ended up ordering some thin plastic from a supplier in Sacramento, cut to size with scissors and slipped it into...

rex, Welcome aboard. What type of camper are you getting and when? As you know we'll be needing pictures. All the Best.

We've all been there. I don't have any pictures of the "old days" but sure don't miss the tents that are currently gathering dust in the garage.

Congrats and welcome aboard. The rig looks just prime for mods down the road, keep us posted.

pods, Nice mock up, it'll make great templates later. The vertical access panel is likely the way to go, just carefully remove the staples from the plastic slides (and I stress carefully as that plastic is very brittle) cut 'em to length, add a stop at the bottom, and re-staple the sides and...
