Sorry for the late reply. Just got home. It has been a crazy night with traffic and such. With my work schedule and the weather (not going to open it all up in the rain), Sunday will likely be the first day I could show it. FWIW, I am in the Mira Mesa area.

I fixed my post. $20,000 As for Thursday morning, I leave for work before 7am. Not really possible to see in the morning.

Hello all, after much though I am going to sell our turn key overland rig. This has been a great rig for the last 5 years. It has never let us down, gone everywhere we have wanted to go and comfortable for hundreds of miles at a time. This is a turn key, add your food, clothing and bedding, it's...

Been happy with my IQ4 and no issues.

HitchGate has been a perfect solution for us. I found (and see them) mine on Craigslist for about a 1/3 of the cost but having used it for the last 3 or so years, I would gladly pay the full price, if I didn't have fab skills or tools to build a custom bumper.

Okay that makes sense but are we talking an apple to apple comparision on total space needed to house a single 12v versus 2 6v? If the combined space needed for 2 6v batteries takes more room, it would make sense they would have more capacity. What I learned from reading that link is I need to...

So I have read/seen the topic of 2 6v batteries versus 1 12v battery and it seems that many say the 2 6v work better but my question is why?

I had National Spring build me a set of front coils and rear springs, which removed the factory lift blocks and overloads. They were built to the weight of the truck loaded (camper stays on 100% of the time). Technically it would be a 2" lift if the camper was off. Bascially it ends up at...

Ours is extended 100% of the time. I have bounced the stuff out of the sink cabnet and the cutting board off the sink and no issues with the bed being extended. I do have LED lights but never have had an issue with them getting bumped on.

    Learned this one the hard way. Ran out of enough juice to power up the heater. Was a cold morning....

Having a Grandby on a 3/4 ton, long bed, club cab, Cummins powered Ram, I would likely buy a 1 ton next time around, for the extra GVW rating. Right now, loaded I sit just shy of 8600 lbs. with a 8800 lbs. GVW. I am doing better than some but would like a little more overhead on the rating. I...

Ours lives on the truck full time and it is parked on the street. Camper is locked up and I have an alarm in the truck. Been that way for a few years now. Lately I need to move it every 4-5 days to keep parking enforcement off me but I think that happened when someone else reported a car...

I don't normally tow a trailer but I have done it from time to time. This was one haul I towed home.

Yeah, I was going to add that standard blubs are not polarity sensitive but LED's are. LED stands for Light Emitting Diode and a Diode controls the direction of power flow. If wired backwards, you could result in a short circuit. Good luck.

I did actually change mine over to an RV registration to remove the $250 weight fee. Haven't been an issue but I also have personalized plates so unless they were ran in the system, no one would ever know there was a change.

    But that is the LP detector, not the CO detector. The one I bought was a combo with both units into one.

I did some research on this and found at the time, the two individual units (one propane, one CO) was not available anymore. The make one that has both units built into one that fits the original cut out. I found it is just slightly smaller so the mounting holes quite line up (actually the...

I had the same thing but I tore my mount all the way out. Here is the thread I did on reparing mine. 1000's of miles later, on some fairly hardcore trails and washboard and no problems since. I made plates for the top and bottom areas, so the load is distributed over a wider area and I don't...

On our Dodge, I am running 60-65 psi front and rear. When I ran it over the scales, loaded up, it was almost a perfect 50/50 distribution. Rides well on highway. Once I hit the dirt, I air down to 40 psi or so. I am sitting at around 8600 lbs. loaded.

Thanks for the heads up. I just ordered one myself. :)

My guess, the running lights on the outside of the camper. Should hook to your truck running light circuit.

I get the same thing with mine. My guess is, since there is no "off" button on the charger/inverter, there is always a load being drawn when you plug it into the 110v outlet. Since it's likely to draw a few amps, this would cause the pop/spark you get. It's similar to when you jumper two...

Nice job. Looks like a nice way to get some extra capacity.

One tip is, be ready to buy immediately. If you think about it, it will be sold. I found ours at a camper dealer that had taken it in on trade. They posted a Craigslist ad on Easter Sunday, which I knew they were not open that day. I called 9am sharp Monday morning and got them walking in...

This was my solution... a Tiregate swing out. It mounts into the receiver hitch and has worked great over the last year or so. I have been on hundreds of miles of washboard roads, rock hopping and zero issues. It's has a receiver so you can still tow (7500 lbs. rated) and I towed a car hauler...
