Another weekend without camping is a weekend for mods. Today I finally had the time to take the original curtains out. I just don't like the golden and shiny rods and the whole system (sorry Ben, but I'm picky). The new system and curtains are much easier and equally effective. I used the same...

Very simple and efective That's my kind of solutions, simple and effective. An example of applied KISS system. Thanx for sharing it.

Modified ATC Setup Ben from ATC installed two eyebolts in the back of my 03 Taco and bolted the front to the bed. The bolts are ok if you don't remove the camper from the truck. But I just load it for my weekend trips, so it's not very operational with the bolts. It's almost impossible to line...

Congratulations, I'm moving too Hey Oly, congratulations to the move. I'm moving too, but further south, from Miami to Playa del Carmen in Mexico. The house and my wifes Landcruiser go in containers, but I'm thinking about taking the camper out for a drive around the Gulf of Mexico. It is...

Did you look in eBay? Hi brett13, did you look for the seat cushions on eBay? I found these: http://stores.ebay.com/Wheelchair-Store-Scooter-Store_Wheelchair-Cushions_W0QQfsubZ18 They are for wheelchairs but the size is more or less what you might need. Not that I would compare your truck...

First of all let me say that I don't consider our campers overweight. But I still like the idea of taking as much weight off as possible. Even if I later add it on again in the form of all the stuff that I "really" have to take along on the trips. Here's my thing: I've seen the EZ Dri foam a...

Now, this has me drooling I just went over to the land down under (not really) and found these new Land Cruisers. http://www.caradvice.com.au/1918/toyota-landcruiser-70-series-specifications/ http://www.caradvice.com.au/8233/2007-landcruiser-70-series-gxl-wagon-review/ The design might not...

Wiring is easy When Ben from ATC installed my camper it took him not even an hour for the wiring. But I guess it wasn't his first time. In essence it's two wires with fuses (he used fuses on both wires) connected to the battery, down the firewall to the frame and back up into the truck bed...

There's an RV for every taste The ones with the big RVs might not want too much outdoors where they go. As an ATC user I just need a place to sleep comfortably and keep the "bear necessities" accessible. Nothing against big RVs, it's one step closer to the outdoors. So that's a good thing...

Bike pump VS compressor I used the bike pump (hand pump) for a few years when overseas. The advantage is that it's small, portable and easy to replace. The disadvantage is the amount of pressure you get out. I could pump up to 65psi but that's it. My airbags go up to 100 psi and that's the...

if Diesel, than 4.5L 6 Cyl Probably that sweet little 3ltr. 4cyl. diesel they use alot over there...I've heard they are bulletproof.... Fisherdude, ok I want to order one...wait, what am I ordering?? Tomas, the 4 cyl Diesel was mainly installed in Hilux, Surf and the smaller trucks. The LC...

Access to storage pvstoy, the two support boards pop up now by them selfs as I used at the end spring loaded hinges (Ben from ATC sent them) like the ones for the roof mechanism. To access the storage area I just have to lift up both seat cushions, the boards pop up and the access is open...

There is nowhere to go This bed mechanism has been extensively tested by the toughest professional testers I could get. My 2 and 10 year old kids. Jumping from the cab over bed onto the lower bed, bouncing around etc, it still survived. There is as far as I can see nowhere to go for the...

Impressive It's amazing the amount of food you fit in a basket this size. Being able to lift the whole basket out of the fridge allows you also to see much better where all the goodies are. Now I have to search for wire baskets for my OEM fridge. That way I think I should be able to fit much...

Been there too, but solved it for me This is a great Idea and was thinking of doing it myself......until I realized that the height of the bench really has a lot to do with use when the top is down. If i sit in my Hawk with the top down, i can fit with the stock couch. If i raise it to window...

Just to let you know, it's still working great looks cool, interested to hear how it holds up...congrats on the new camper...looks like you got some great features...keep us up to date on your progress...cheers Just to let you all know, the couch mod is still working great without any...

keep it simple I strictly follow the KISS way of life (most of the time). I installed the air bags, connected them with a T and routed the house to the shrader valve installed next to the gas filler. This way I don't have to bend down to inflate them with the pump. The first stage of this...

Check out the Wallas Stoves Here is a link to Wallas: http://www.wallas.fi/default.asp?id=start-en The make stoves, heaters etc (beautiful stuff) for boats. I contacted them last year and they told me that they would not sell their equipment for a camper. Thank god we all have Land Yachts...

Teasing shouldn't be allowed I have modified the cabinet to include two slide out tables, modified the drawer, added yakima tracks and racks, installed a Fantastic roof vent and reinstalled the old vent in the bed area. I also made a roof lifting device. Desertrat Hey Desertrat, don't...

Leave it connected Hi Quint, I worked for a few years servicing propane equipment and in my experience it creates more problems when you connect and disconnect the stuff than leaving it connected. You also run a greater risk of having a leak by doing so. The hoses these days are very good...

Cabezon, Nice mod, those are awesome and look perfect for working on your laptop from the couch. The look like they are on standard drawer slide outs, do they have any extra supports? How strong are they? Can you chop veggies on them or do you have to be careful with putting much pressure on...

Keep it simple Hey Jack, I like your solution, very simple and easy. Funny thing is that I have also been working on the table issue, but came up with a different solution.:p It looks to me that the cabinets are not the same, but still similar. As I have an ATC camper I just had to post it...

I have to thank you Wow, great job on that. Gives me some ideas that I am going to throw at the guys. That has to be one of the better redo's I have seen on a camper. Great job. Hey Ben, modesty apart, 90% of the cabinet was made by your guys. I just tweaked the design a little bit. If it...

Just let me know if you need more info Now I have to re-think my cabinet re-configuration, again. After 2 attempts I thought I was close, but it still isn't "right" and I like your ideas. You know I'm not going to sleep very well tonight, what with visions of drawers and doors floating around...

Pics of unmodified kitchen cabinet Hi buzzman, when I started this project I was just too excited to take pictures of the original cabinets. But maybe Ben could post some pics of a new interior.
