Our Ocelot is the 72" model and I am over 6ft so E/W doesn't work for me. It sure would be nice not to need the slide-out though.

So, we were having a discussion the other day on how we sleep in our ATC Ocelot. My Wife and I sleep North /South with our feet to the front of the camper. Yes, I do drop my pillow the odd time. Now, my Daughter and SIL have slept in it a few times and they sleep with their heads to the front...

Thanks for the replies.

Thanks AWG. Once the seat is removed is there any kind of "sound deadening " left behind it? My Chev seat is a pain to remove and then I have to line the back with a kind of insulation or it's way too noisy.

For those of you with this yr Tundra , is it possible to just remove either the 1/3 or 2/3 section of the rear seat? Also, I see the antenna is rear centre of the cab. Do you re-locate it? Thanks.

Like that one too Vic! Gotta try some Xtra Tuf"s some day?

A couple summers ago I was following a pick-up in stop and go traffic through Cole Harbour ,N.S. On his ball hitch he had a rubber bass and every time he braked the fishes tail would flap. Ended up beside the Guy at a set of lights and we both had windows down and I said" I like the fish on your...

Last night was the first New Years Eve we had gone out in years. Our small town in Ontario, Canada had a kick-off dinner and dance for our upcoming homecoming in July. Months back they put 300 dinner and dance tickets and another 700 dance only tickets on sale and they sold out within 6hrs...

Dave. If you are going to be in Valdez, consider the day cruise on the Lu-Lu Belle. Captain Fred gets that boat to places where I wondered how he"s getting out. But , that was the first week of June ,probably a bit different later in the summer.

Have to agree, the best T.V. I've watched in a while too. The drone shots were amazing! She sure doesn't hold back on the throttle on the rough roads does she!

I just finished watching the "Itchy Boots " wrap-up as she arrived in Deadhorse to complete her journey. Amazing!!

Question for some of you that travel Baja frequently. Where do you buy your truck/camper insurance? I can't remember where we bought ours last time.

We did the Alaska trip this past summer . Took the trans Canada across the top of Superior as well but when we got to Winterpeg we got on 16 and took it over to Edmonton for a visit . After that we stayed on 16 over until we could hook up with the Cassier. The route north from Winnipeg would...

I travel fairly light with an ATC Ocelot shell and used Timbrens for the first 3 yrs I had our camper. Found the ride kinda rough so this past spring I installed some air bags before our summer trip to Alaska. All I can tell you is I should have went with the bags from the start. I can't imagine...

Wango. If we decide to make the trip it will probably be around the time you are there. Its 2500 miles from home to Mexicali so we probably wouldn't have a set day to cross. Would really like to see that flatbed of yours!

I couldn't imagine leaving your dog at home. Ours went everywhere with us.

For us there usually isn't a whole lot of planning involved, we tend to wing it a lot. Since we are both retired, well kinda, we travel at our own pace with not much of a schedule. I will be watching the forum to see who might be there because it would be nice to meet some of you . ( maybe even...

Wondering if anyone is planning a Baja trip this winter? We are thinking of heading out there around mid Feb or so. The only other time we were there was 4-5yrs ago after we picked up our ATC. That trip we just went a little further south than Mulege but would likely go further down this time. I...

Your welcome Ski and Frank. A few more things to add. Of the 8 weeks , we stayed in campgrounds for 15 nights, for showers, laundry or just couldn't find a boon docking spot( or didn't want to bother looking) . Only once did we leave our boon docking spot after setting up. Just south of...

We have recently returned from our 8wk , 20,500 km Alaska trip. Left home , a couple hrs N/W of Toronto, on July 13th and drove some long days to get to Edmonton to visit one of my Sisters that I haven't seen for a few yrs. After a one night stop there we slowed it down some. Headed over to the...

Thanks for the replies. Yes, the double cab is what I think of as an extended cab. I think Toyota calls their larger cab a Crew Max.

What kind of gas mileage are you Guys seeing with these trucks ? Loaded and unloaded. I know its not all about the gas mileage but I'm just curious . Considering going back to a double cab truck . Thanks.

Kinda late on this Dave and I have no idea where you are. We just returned from our trip last Wed . We used I-overlander because it was built into our new Garmin. We found it hard finding "wild" camping spots in Sask and Manitoba but once your into Ontario there are all kinds. As far as you...

Our ATC Ocelot is only on our Chevy 1/2 ton a few months a year. After using Timbrens for the first few years and after some discussion with JHanson and others here I decided to install a set of Timber Grove air bags on my 2020 Chevy Trail Boss. We just returned from a 21000 km trip which...

Thanks for the replies Guys. Probably put 25,000 miles on the way it is so hoping it will be fine for the next few months. Over and out till sept.
