Kinda weak? They are designed to handle a couple bags of groceries. It is one of the big downfalls to the Gen2 Tacoma, but with OME/Dakar leafs all is good again. Edit: OME = Old Man Emu, from Australia. Yeah, but the TSB helped a little to start. The extra leaves (which are made by Alcan I...

Just curious to see if anyone has installed Air Bags on their Tacoma. We have just bought an Eagle Camper and think that airbags may help the ride a little... Curious to hear a little feedback from you all! I have a 08 DBL Cab long bed and 03 Eagle. I've got the ride rite airbags, the rear...

I have a cheap knock off of the "go anywhere" gas grill. Tie it into my camper bottle. Can find them anytime for $20 at HD or Lowes. Works great, but i'm considering another option... a steel plate griddle that will just sit on my stove (outside camp stove) leaving one burner for cooking and...

We thought the same thing about the seat height so after measuring every chair in the house and stacking phone books on them, etc, we started by lowering it from the initial leaf plus 4" cushion to having the seat cushion level with the leaf. Our truck has 22" high bed rails which is why the...

Custom dinette design still under way here. Camper is mid-build and I need to finalize dinette measurements. Looks like seat height will likely be 24" to match the the camper ledge or "leaf". I've mocked it up, but I'd like to hear from those of you with some"seat time" in your campers. How...

does it have to be level to run the fridge off AC? I thought level was just for the LP mode? Within a couple of degrees from level should be fine (+/-2), the limit is 3. but i have noticed in my driveway (certainly not steep, but not level either... drainage type slope, maybe 3 or 4 deg.) where...

I have the yakima tracks (I attached them using the existing screw pattern for the roof skin-to-frame screws; #8 3/4" truss head I believe ). I've done many (several thousands) miles with 2 whitewater kayaks on the roof, kayak and bikes, kayak and roof box, etc. My last trip i would have put...

that seems like a great price for a 120W panel, where did you get it? Rob Using information from this forum, I completed my solar install today. I found a 120 watt solar panel ($222) that only weighs 20 lbs. I thought it was a misprint but I weighed it and it was 20.08 lbs. I went with an...

I put a variety of stuff on my roof and frequently it's two scupper pro 14ft ocean kayaks. Given my variety of stuff, i'm not sure the rollers and saddles would work for me (one more thing to take on and off my racks, YMMV) I load them from the side, via my wheel step and can do it solo...

good review Cort! How does the truck feel when empty? In my case, which might be similar to yours, my truck has a cap on it for 90% of the time. During the summer i might leave the camper on for a few months at a time. Its always a delicate balance trying to find the sweet spot between the two...

Also, I take an ~20% hit on MPG on the highway, however, once on secondary roads... there were times I recorded 22+ MPG on my trip west. 22MPG is about the best I get under any circumstances (empty bed or with shell) Rob

Hey All, B. Eagle... those sound like some nice options and I really like the huge cabover, with storage. Nice kayak too. Its good to see other WW kayakers on WTW. Any others? Where do you hail from? I'm in New England. I just did a 6500mi trip west (Yellowstone, Tetons, L. Superior, etc)...

Awesome, thanks! Here is a copy of an earlier post with the information you want: Here is the original link by "b team" (half way down the page) that gave me the idea: http://www.wanderthe...70/page__st__30 Here's a link for the meter. Note that this meter comes in two versions....one with...

I know the charge is variable depending on the state of the battery....mine has never gone above 14.0 volts during early stage. Leadsled... did you put the panel meter in, or is FWC doing that now? Thats cool! Rob

Hey All, This is an interesting discussion and i've been thinking of upgrading my springs. Currently I have the TSB (4 leaf) springs on my 08 Tacoma along with Ride-Rite air bags. I like the sound of better springs to work with or supplement the air bags, but they (Deaver) remove the overload...

Thanks All! Would rather keep the 'stuff' to a minimum, but maybe one of these would work? Tire Step Has anybody had any experience? Might not be tall enough, but definitely more stable. I have a wheel step, bought it off Amazon for, I believe, around $20. Adjustable, it works great. I can...

I have a 2003 Eagle and haven't seen any particle board yet. Its all photo-laminated plywood. I've had the face off the kitchenette, plus replaced the small slider cabinet under same and it all seemed like good stuff. Rob

Tomas, I think those pics stan posted were for the new Rieco Titan 2 piece brackets (steel)? They're pricey too ($30/ea?) for something that will quickly rust, plus new hardware! Seems like it would be pretty straightfoward to make a 2 piece aluminum bracket in the same manner? hmmm...

Aluminum... thats a good idea. I can't believe it wouldn't be strong enough. I don't use them anyways, I have the scary cable jacks :o, but am considering keeping the brackets on. Rob

Hey All, I looked through a number of topics talking about these dammed rusty brackets... the must be the sacrificial anode of the entire camper. I think my camper looks decent, but I always notice those brackets!!! So i figured I would take them off and hit them with a wire wheel and then...

I bought mine used (03 Eagle), so its a process to make it 'mine', but i'd guess thats probably the case with new ones as well. This is my first "RV" of any kind, so its been interesting figuring things out and finding what works or doesn't. I like mods, but sometimes I worry i'm spending too...

Awesome, thanks for the info guys! What am I camping in... a four wheel camper of course! :rolleyes: Great pics as well! I'm stoked. I'll probably head to Gos Venture our first night, the wife and daughter fly in late in the evening, then try and head up near Jackson Lake or Jenny Lake (I...

Hey All, I'm driving from Boston to Idaho Falls, ID the end of July for work. The wife and little one are flying out and we are doing a road trip back to Boston. Don't have a specific plan other than a tentative: Tetons, Yellowstone, Devil's Tower, Rushmore, and then a family reunion in MN. Only...
