Ditto what Dphillip said. I suspect you're gonna find yourself overweight and under powered. How about a regular camper shell? There are a lot of creative ways to outfit one.

were an eyesore on my 19 year old Eagle. I gave each one a couple of swipes with a toothbrush to clean them up and them three dabs of Rust-Oleum gloss white paint with a little paintbrush. 45 minutes work and a huge improvement in appearance.

I put air bags on my previous truck and managed to break both. On my '14 Tacoma I installed Sumo Springs. They don't engage when there's no load and there's nothing to break. Where are you? There are a lot of us around the North Sierras.

85% of the stuff we worry about never happens. 12% we just deal with. 3% we read about later.

Cool. And I'll tie it down with locking 'biners!

Does anyone have a drawing of the bolt-in tie-downs for a '14 Tacoma? I've got a local guy who can make them for me.

Frog tape and a steady hand with a sash (angled) brush.

In my 2000 Eagle I changed my lights to LED and run them for a long time on an 8 pack of D batteries. I run my fridge and charge USB stuff off a solar panel and controller. Very simple and low maintenance.

The private campground at Olema is nice. Toilets and showers. Downright civilized.

Thanks Monte!

On my camper the wiring into the roof runs behind the front lift panel where it gets bent every time I lift and lower. Take a look there.

I didn't know I could put my Eagle on an F150. How's that work for you besides lifting it up?

How long is the bed in your Mazda? My 2000 Eagle fits well in the 6' bed of my 2003 Ranger. Isn't the Finch for a 5' Bed?

I Googled "off road trailers" and found this article: https://gearjunkie.com/affordable-off-road-trailers-teardrops

Ouch!

New to me too. Pretty cool.

Why not? It's just logistics, planning, carpentry and plumbing. What are you gonna use for a new countertop?

I use the Lynx also but these look interesting and are on my wish list: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LYQ1Z8S/?coliid=I1O6SRY2H9P85B&colid=P6KMBDR059S0&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

I'll jump in. Styles have changed a bit in everything since '87. You're just gonna have to start looking at every upholstery fabric source you can find, both on-line and brick and mortar. Might be easier to upgrade all the fabrics if not historically accurate. You can upgrade the foam while...

I liked yours Bill. I'll be installing it today. I guess the guy who made his own drill adapter for the jacks doesn't know they're on Amazon.

Welcome to the world of pop-up truck campers. I have no knowledge of Starcraft campers other than they are heavier than FWC's. A lot of similar questions to yours have been asked on the FWC side here and should help you. The change in pick-up dimensions causes problems fitting campers...

Hey Dawn, I'm 6'4" but I sleep fetal. I just figured out I can sleep just fine with the bed un-extended. It simplifies things in my already simplified world. "course, I don't have two dogs sleeping with me. That would change things.

Here's that one I used. I believe I put it up with double-stick foam tape. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01ED0R3NO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Just saw this 2012 Eagle on Craigslist Sacramento: https://sacramento.craigslist.org/rvs/d/2012-eagle-four-wheel-camper/6600911420.html

Thanks. I'll try to remember that. Now, what was it I had for breakfast? I figure I'm good for another 18 years.
