Great picts! Been a while since I went duck hunting! Good work!

Well after this last 9 day trip the SW Utah I have to say all the mods I have done to the camper have been AWESOME!!!!! :D Everything worked great and I LOVE the new Engle Fridge. I have some minor things hear and there that I will get to but overall the big part of the project is done. The...

Guys, this is very interesting. I had the exact opposite experience. I built a full size chevy into a prerunner in college. Lets say I went through LOTS of shocks. Blew up pro-comp's 2 sets of ranchos with dual's each side up front, and finally went to dual bilstein 5150's in the front. The...

Great Idea Guys! I used to own a 1989 Skamper 060S. Did a full restore on it and documented the work. Its very similar to the Sun-Lite, Starcraft and Palamino's. Might have to add it here for other Skamper owners.

A few more Misc things inside..... My Maglight mounted to the back wall. Very versatile "tool" haha Few hooks on the lift panel. They come in handy! Storage space under the cabinet nice and organized. I built the back shelves for the plastic plates, cup holder, and the tea pot is now...

Well the marathon weekend is over. It was fun, but tiring. Glad to have this camper project wrapped up for the most part. From here on out it will be lots of trips and little things. YEEHAA!! :lol: I started out filling in the space between the counter and the back wall. Infilled the...

I've been running the SB70 for a while now, with the stock battery (79ah) and a 120 watt solar setup and love it. The fridge runs incredibly well, and super efficient. It does tend to vibrate so ensure you mount it nicely and buffer it a bit if possible. It makes ice on level 3! What more...

Well, I was lucky enough to get about a 1/2 day off Friday and made good progress on Saturday. It's coming back together. Lots new wiring! The new fridge looks and works great! It was 38* in no time after turning it on. I'm interested to see if I hear the sound of the compressor once...

Craig, Great looking bumper. Bummer on the service though. I've heard the same. Good product but service is less than top notch. Good luck with the winch/lights!

Keep it, you'll be ripping out the interior soon enough and be putting it back in. I know you well enough now to say that! HAHA I hope not, but yea, you probably are right. :D I'll keep it laying around. Listen to the wisdom here. :) The guts of your old Hawk sure reminds me of how the...

It looking real good Paul. That solar panel will be great. I will eventually add one to my Hawk, but I haven't used the camper enough to justify or establish what my power needs are. I only have lights (LEDs), water pump for sink, and a furnace, so not much power draw...especially since I...

Well, work has got me behind on just about everything in my personal life. I thought I would try and post a few pictures. Unfortunately I didnt take any pictures the last afternoon I was working on the camper so I can't update ya'll on too much progress. BUMMER! The new cabinet is done and...

This just came up on the central coast of CA. No affiliation. Seems over priced. http://slo.craigslist.org/rvs/3299813953.html

Mark, I thought about fabbing up something out of metal, but weight and function always fought me. I never figured anything out. Plus with having the 7.3L leveling out in the from with some sheet metal thing would be tricky. I used to use 2x6's cut in different lengths with a 45 degree edge...

Thanks SLO. I've looked at yours and Mike's threads many a times over at ExPo. I really like hanging out over here too. Great board !! For sure! Both are great boards. As far as leaving the sides rolled up, yes. I leave mine up as well with no issues yet. Those things are so far up there...

So all that has been happening lately is WORK! Yuck! haha I was able to sneak a bit of time in on the camper this weekend! YES! B) First, thanks to Alley-Kat for all his advice to date! I appreciate it! A thanks as well to chnlisle for helping me out with my Engel fridge transaction...

WOW! Looks great! Defiantly some custom work going on in that interior! Congrats on the new camper. You'll have some fun trips in it for sure!!

Hey Paso! A drawer under the camper is do able. You probably wont want to span the plywood longer than 24" or you will notice flex in the floor. For my hawk, I added x 2x3 ladder structure underneath. The cross members are about 22" apart. There is some slight flex but not too noticeable...

Alright, How about some pictures from night 2 in the area. (night 3 total) In the map on one of my previous posts you can see where we ended up. Just up the hill from the night before. Oh how I love this view!! :D Where we ended up. The hill was WAY steeper than it looked! Just...

Check out the Inyo NF map to see the exact boundaries of that no-camping Bristlecone Forest area...in some areas there's a sign: "Entering/Leaving Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest", something like that. There's a flat area, kinda like a parking area, at the top of the Silver Canyon Road that's...

So, the weekend before my trip I never got the chance to post up progress. I was able to install my battery isolator system as well as work on version 4.0 of my bike rack. First off I have to give credit where credit is due. Thanks evldave (on ExPo) for this great thread on how to make a...

That thing looks GREAT!!! Nice job on the install. Its got a light too! SWEET! :D Im interested to hear your power consumption. I think I am going to end up going Engle SB70. What was the reason that made you go Truckfridge? At the end of the day those two ending up battling it out for...

Great stuff, slo! :) I spend time up there almost every year, but I haven't explored most of the possibilities for dispersed camping. For those not familiar with the area, camping is not allowed in the designated "Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest" area, which covers much of the crest near the...

Wow! Mammoth for a week! Sounds like a great time! Hope you guys are bringing your bikes and fishing poles. Wish I could join in the fun! B)

Craig, What did you do to miss the back latch on the passenger side. I cant see it on the photo and have wondered what others do here. Seems the awning would interfere with the latch. Paul
