Well I guess I got your attention! Sorry, corrected the price. You do need a long bed, camper is 9.5'.

Last year I spent a night at Sea Rim state park in TX, just drive out onto the 10 miles beach and camp for the night, small fee. Just don't turn on the interior lights at night and open the door :wacko: ..... unless killing bugs for an hour @ 3 AM is something you would enjoy. Not a bug before...

2006, haven't used it much, located in the Southern Appalachians. Bought at the factory about 4 years ago, had them install a new roof, no maintenance required, insulated fabric. All the usual, double batteries, 30# propane, nice bath/shower. Hot water, music, good fridge. Asking $13,000, new...

Can't restrain myself from commenting about K&N filters. I dislike some of their marketing, pretty hard for a filter to get you better economy and power at the same time, or better filtration and flow at the same time. Here is a bit from some testing posted elsewhere: Well there is a clear...

I'm selling my 98 as I have moved on to something bigger. i have modified it for boondocking, in other words took out the 3 way fridge but it goes with the camper, I use an ARB. I also took out the standard furnace and have a Wave3 I use instead, the original furnace also goes with the camper...

I just picked up my used Hallmark Cuchara from the factory last week. It was on consignment so I made a deal with the owner and then had hallmark put on a new roof/sidewalls a rack/ladder and grab handle. The service I got from them was excellent, wasn't a new camper but I was treated like it...

My well traveled Grandby is getting replaced so it is time to part ways with it but not sure what a fair price would be there days and would appreciate any feedback. It has had one lift panel replaced at FWC, other one is fine. Never have had any leaks and have been in some hellish weather. It...

Another vote for Utah. Might want to check out the overland Expo mid May South of Flagstaff, Big Bend will be getting warm, so much to see, so many great route possibilities.

I have to get better with pics and slow my trips down. The Hallmark seems like a good compromise, I need the space as I am traveling with 4 dogs :huh:, and my wife . I bought a used Hallmark that is at the factory in CO. Getting a new roof put on and a few little tidbits and hope to get it and...

I used to post on here a bit but then life got crazy. I still have my 98 Grandby but my wife wanted something with more amenities so I got this 9.5' Lance. It was awfully fat but we did take it across Quebec and the Trans Lab Highway and to Newfoundland and Nova Scotia and home to New Mex so...

It is great and different country with a different and very positive culture. It is a long way but I was alrady heading to Chicago so that made it a lot easier. Highly recommend it but do it soon as they will pave the whole thing one of these days and some of the rustic isolation will disappear...

Ok so this trip was not West but it was a giant journey to a remote and wild territory! While I still have my Grandby this trip was taken with a 9.5' Lance, concession to my wife who appreciates a bath and shower. The camper was mounted on my trusty 1999 F250 that has hauled my Grandby around...

I'm up at Cordova Pass as I type and just had a bear knock on the back door! On the last night of a nearly 6 week trip that took us across Labrador, report to follow.

You might be able to get a new one for 85k, Barko. I've seen used ones for that! Another option is by a van, the 4 wheel conversion is another 12, and the top and all inside outfitting could be another 25k!!

The more that I look at Sportsmobile-type back country camper vans, the more that I'm glad that we didn't buy one. I'd be interested in your reasoning here. I was there for a few hours Sunday checking the vendors and talked to a guy with Sportsmobile some. I have been starting to think that...

Thanks for the replies. Am I the only one who parks way away from everyone else, then comes out of the store to find that even with all that open space someone has parked right next to me? ;) Wish they'd banged up the passenger side, so I wouldn't have to see the scrape every time I walk up...

Anyone here going? I'm going to try and make it. The only thing stopping me is if I get scheduled for back surgery thru the VA at that time. Get scheduled yet? VA has covered my last 2 surgeries, private docs. Hope it goes well. Think I'll be draggin our Lance camper through Labrador...

Very nice petroglyph site, and indeed it would be hot in summer. Here is a picture from the FS campground that I believe is about 6 miles East. Some great campsites with great sunsets.

I believe in the "I rather have it and never need it then need it and not have it". +1 I'm not obsessive about carrying but have taken the course and often will have it in the truck when on the road. Thought I was going to have to take it out once after I passed a vehicle that was way under...

Reminds me of the saying "don't come knockin if this van is rockin" Might want to control what goes on in that cabover :(

One of the really great things about traveling with Gene Rubin and Phil Salazar et al is we have live music every night. Here is a related quote I came across: "Life was hard for the pioneers but every now and again, someone would get out the fiddle and make it all worse."

If someone got me down on the ground, put me in a headlock and said I had to give up my FWC and get a hard side I would take a hard look at these: http://www.livinlite.com/truck-campers I was attracted to those as well but decided to spend 4k on a used HT first rather than 20+. The interior...

Thanks for the reply SunMan. Your rig and trip reports originally got me interested in this set up. Yeah, I probably have too many questions in this post. Just wanted to check and see if anyone on WTW had the HT option. The more I think about it the more I think that the popup would be a better...

That's very interesting, Mr Jones. Most lions in BB are very small because the deer they hunt are also very small. I wonder what that cat was thinking? but no shortage of tasty javelinas

I haven't made any firm plans but I usually go to Big Bend in January. Have met some other WTW types there before :D , usually nice and warm days although it can get cold. If it snows (unusual) that would be a beautiful bonus. There are a couple of good 4WD roads in the NP, many more in BB...
