On another board I'm on a fellow just sold his old classic teardrop and bought a Camp-Inn raindrop. He drove it home from Wisconsin to Washington state in the snow. They are currently on a coastal tour with it. http://tinycamper.com/raindrop560ultra.htm

I have learned the hard way. If and when someone hits me I get an attorney. Let them deal with the stress. They can get cell phone info from the carrier ect. Send you to the appropriate doctors ect. It's not about trying to sue for big damages. It's about letting a pro makes sure you don't end...

Just saw this. I'm really impressed with his design. layout is very much like my Eagle shell. As far as the fabric I guess you just have to have a sense of humor. I'm guessing he has small children that spec'ed the cloth!

I went into the city today to pick up my new Deaver springs from the truck depot. I had to pull the Camper and the platform from the Tundra yesterday so i could haul the pallet. They look nice. They are basically stock spring packs with 2 additional leaves each. And they came with a box of...

Replied.

Glad no one was hurt seriously!

I've been doing some reading on the skin on frame boats. Very interesting. Kudzu boats has a video of him beating the skin with a hammer and such to prove how durable the skin is. Impressive!

The one thing I miss with a cooler was the draining water. My old metal Coleman had almost a spigot on it. For years I've used the drain water for hand washing and heating up to do dishes, putting out campfires ect. Helps save the freshwater for drinking on longer trips. Sure don't miss food...

Great stuff!

I see a lot of the double cab 1st gen Tundras around. Also the AC cab are very popular. I am very pleased in our Tundra. Did you have to add some spacers so that the Eagle wouldn't ride on the bed top rails? Frank I made a platform from 2x3's and 3/8" plywood. I insulated it with 2" blue...

Steve have you considered maybe a 1st gen Tundra? I know they would be older then you might want but they do carry the Bobcat very nicely. Frank I've been real impressed with my '06 Crewcab Tundra. Even towing the bassboat behind the camper always plenty of power. I bought mine last year like...

Great stuff. I've seen several varieties of this concept. Including several that were covered in Kevlar and epoxy. Kudo's to you on the program.

Is that a geodesic airolite?

Nice Boats! I have actually helped build a couple of strippers. But never built one myself. Though I've kinda planned on doing it for years. If I do it'll probably be this one. http://www.greenval.com/kite.html The main problem here is that the local rivers I float and fish are rocky and not...

Is anyone here using an ultralight pack canoe. I have a decent solo boat. But the idea of a 12' solo that weighs less than 20lbs and could be thrown on the camper roof rack is appealing for travels. I've been wanting to try one of these for years! 15 lbs for a 12' canoe...

One of these is on my short list. I'd make one like some on here have done but I have too many irons in the fire right now. So I'll probably just buy it from FWC.

Thanks Ron that's just what I was looking for.

My Deaver's are being shipped with OEM rubber bushings installed. I've used poly with different outcomes. The OME greasable bushing and bolts I use on my Isuzu's have been fantastic. Rubber bushings twist. Poly bushing rotate. When you have extreme suspension articulation rubber bushing can be...

Now that I'm retired I like to be ready to just jump in the truck and go with little notice. I do a lot of middle of the week local trips. My fridge and the solar allow me to keep the ridge running for months on end mostly stocked and ready to go. Maybe just throw some meat in the fridge and...

For hauling cargo in rough terrain my M416 is heard to beat. But it's not long enough for boats on top. Sometimes that would be nice. But I'm not for modding it. I see way to many folks modding these and ruining(my opinion) the overall versatility to make "Expo" trailers. Then sell them a few...

Can someone post pics of their arctic pak from the inside? Do these have opening windows that match the vinyl?

Just watched the vid. I really don't see anything here that couldn't be done for $$$$$ less with an ARE contractors shell and a roof top tent. Way too many zippers to fail for my tastes. I really don't think It would be much fun stuck inside over a couple of rainy days. My Eagle seems like a...

Start of a trend I think. So many rural folks nationwide are just fed up with being controlled by big cities. Several states here in the east and elsewhere are mostly rural as far as land mass. But all the decisions are made by urban folks who haven't a clue if it doesn't have a mass of people...

I have to give you credit. I've built several trucks over the years. But I've never taken a new off the showroom floor truck and started swapping suspension and hears right off. Looking good!

If you turn them before they get thin and worn then no issues. if they are marginal to begin with then yes earlier warpage will probably happen. Most of the problems I've had with turned rotors had to do with "WHO" turned them. Not the process of turning them. OEM rotors tend to be good steel...
