Got out for a night and a day this weekend. I would have liked to have the whole weekend, but time didn't permit it. Anyways, here's some pics:

Hi Oly, The Pryor Mountains (south of Billings, east of Red Lodge) is the driest and warmest area I'm aware of, unless you're willing to get down into SE or S Idaho. We did an overnight at Pine Creek (Paradise Valley) a few weeks ago when it was cold out. Campground is closed in winter, but...

If you don't want to fuss with propane and have the extra electric power why not use this heating system in a FWC. It's Lite, no propane worries, and couldn't be quieter. And it's pretty inexpensive. :) http://www.thermosoft.com/ At 66 watts for their smallest one, just make sure you have a...

First off, this is a request to find some places for winter camping in the southwest Montana region. However, this is also a thread for discussing winter camping. So, discuss away!

Am I correct in understanding that the factory rv propane stoves in campers create less co because they of a two-stage regulator in the line between the tank and the stove as compared to if you used a portable camping stove inside the camper (with adequate ventilation)? I guess I am thinking...

I've been really happy with my setup. It's small and light. My only desire would be a diesel engine for power and mileage. That being said, the 3.4L V-6 in my Tacoma has been more than adequate for getting my camper all over the place.

Oly, Great Pix. Heres one I didn't even have to leave home for. Dang Oly, those are some gems! Thanks guys! I've been slacking quite a bit this year, but I'm hoping to get out camping this weekend and hopefully I'll get some more! There's some serious talent on the board! Keep 'em coming guys!

I think it's great! Very nice layout and it's nice to see a section that combines all the most recent threads.

oly, good point, but i also agree that while we don't drive the most efficient vehicles and tow campers i feel like living/staying in the camper can be extremely efficient. we often spend a day or more without driving, use very little electricity, etc. how are those 255/85's, didn't you have...

Well, let's all be honest. If you want to be going greener, you're better off with a small, efficent car (AWD if snow is encountered) and a good tent. I gain ~3-7 MPG depending on driving conditions with my camper off the truck. In fact, I've gone camping with tents just to save the money on...

I too got mine in August of last year. It was the last weekend that I picked it up in Butte, Montana.

Didn't I see you heading down the interstate the other day? How ya been? Oh, and it's looking good in there! I'm getting the itch to get out and camp now!

Hey man, if you swing though bozeman, don't be afraid to give me a shout! oly884 (at) gmail.com

Winters in Montana can be cold, as in Colorado. I'd be dead right now if not for the heater in my FWC. -10°F and it kept the camper very cozy! When you go hunting for elk (or dear), there is nothing else better than coming back to a nice warm camper.

I'm looking to get some racks put on my camper. However, if I could get a part # and manufacturer of the racks it would make my life really easy right now. If anyone has the part #'s and manufacturer of a rack system it would be greatly appreciated! I'm going to use the rack for my kayak (12'...

Congrats man! The camper is looking great!

Hey, sorry, I haven't been on the portal much recently, but I'd have no problem if you wanted to take a look My email addy is oly884 at gmail.com

I'm in bozeman, but that's quite a drive.

Oly: Nicest pics I've seen of the camper. I see that they come w/ 2 beds. I really only need 1 double bed and a place to sit, cook and eat. What options do I have? Which is the bigger bed? Did you buy the "shell" and installed everything? Thanks Charlie Jimjxsn nailed it down, that's...

I'd say come on over, but I think baltimore to bozeman would be a bit of a drive, haha. I'm sure that pictures won't help too much, but here's a post I made over on one of the forums I moderate at: http://www.ultimateyota.com/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=26&topic=195.0 Feel free to ask any...

2004 Toyota Tacoma Ex. Cab V-6 4x4 I love this truck!

right, 17 amps would be about the max. Since the solar panels put out around 15 volts (the controller lowers the voltage to 12) it would be in the range of 13-14 amps, but I think that you have the right idea in going down the path of overkill. Being that my camper is in storage and it is...
