Your guess is correct. We've all got them, however, some are swing down doors with hinges and a latch.

If you've already got the new wood cut for the lift panels, just do as the guys above suggest, call Marty or Jeff at ATC, give the length of your old spring loaded hinges and I'm sure they will cut new ones and ship them out to you. Marty & Jeff used to work at FWC before they started ATC, they...

Acting preemptively in light of Australia's overwhelming dominance in light weight, aluminium frame, pop-up truck campers, trailers and expedition vehicles, the United States Congress has quietly passed a transportation bill that will require all truck campers to be light weight, aluminium...

See message #7 in this thread.

I'd argue that not every single camper built has a dinette. As far as I know there have been years and years of FWC production (and some from ATC, as well) of that darn roll over couch facing away from the window, without an option of getting a dinette. And, I'm not going to be of any help...

OK, thanks for that info.

Has anyone tried using TREX decking material instead of wood? No painting needed, and no moisture absorption (I think). One other thing to think about is how much space will there be between the top of the truck cab and the underside of the "cab over bed". You want enough to be able to twist...

Ppink, Thanks for the kind words, much appreciated. I had to cut the utility sink down to size. To about 6 inches tall (inside, I think, not counting the base section where the legs mount), however, if you need a measurement, I can do that on Sunday. Without the legs attached, I just set...

Rusty, Thanks for the "extra" kind words. No UCSB, they are much better today than what they were known for back in my college days (#1 party university). Cal Poly, SLO, Aero Eng, then naval aviator, both of those have made me who I am today. Wish I had a better wood working shop, plus a...

Have you seen forum member Basin Deranged interior build? This web link will take you to page #3, look down the page a little bit to message #26. His is the same arrangement I have in my current sailboat interior build.

Thanks for the kind words on my interior build, it's much appreciated. That photo of the U-shaped dinette looks good, plenty of table space and plenty of feet space, although the corners are tough to sit in when others are also at the dinette. If you're going to get a full sized truck camper it...

Thank you all for the kind comments. I thought it would be appropriate to mention that a lot of fantastic, great and neat Camper Build threads have been compiled by Mark BC all in one place where it is easy to spend some time looking over what other guys have done. There is a lot of talent and...

Yep, just posted my latest build thread segment at ATC Bobcat Shell - Owner Interior Build which starts on page 4, message #35. The web link will take you to the first page and the first message, if you want to read it all.

And, lastly, the exterior driver's side used to look nice and clean. However, now I've got the fridge vents, intake low and exhaust high, the propane locker, and the furnace combustion intake and exhaust. Done! A really, BIG THANKS to Marty & Jeff at All Terrain Campers for shipping me...

Under rear seat, below lift out drawer, 2-1/2 gallon water storage. It can hold other lightweight objects, it's just a bit empty right now. Front under seat storage top lift out drawer. Seat hinges up with table in place. Finger holes allow lifting of drawer. Under front seat, below...

So, how does the trapezoidal hollow core door piece stay in place? It's just a brass door hinge pin. One on each side of the trapezoidal hollow core door and it will never fall off the edge stringers holding it up. They are long enough to be pushed up from underneath when removing them...

For those that have never seen the base of a Lagun table... It's very sturdy. Here's the extra, trapezoidal, shape that makes the foot well of the side dinette into a bunk. Remember I said there was a "trade off" in not being able to use my large table for this purpose, so, I'm willing to...

Now, over to the side dinette side. You can see that I like a nice large table. We can actually sit two people facing each other and with a stool, the cook can sit down last in the aisle, with plenty of space on the table for three dinner sized plates, eating hardware, and beverages, plus some...

I had been spoiled with my two, 12VDC only, marine grade, stainless steel, top loading fridge/freezer units using only 0.8 amps/hour each. The new 12VDC, front loading, TruckFridge with a tiny freezer unit as the cooling plate was sucking down 2.4 amps/hour, more than the previous two...

Atwood 8012-II furnace location, with extra perforated aluminium panel above to vent out excess heat from sides of furnace. The digital thermostat is mounted on the inside wall of the propane tank locker, along with the FantasticFan remote control unit. My Zodi Extreme is stored below the...

110VAC Electrical still present. Small wash tub, toilet bag storage & sink (removed the old stainless sink, didn't really even use it), still present. New large general storage cabinet where the microwave was located, new cabinet with adjustable shelves. Adjustable shelf detail...

About a year ago I removed almost all of the interior that I built previously (shown above), as the functional use of my ATC Bobcat has changed. I no longer use it as a chuck wagon and bunk house for large gatherings of camping friends. It is now used as a more traditional truck camper for...

Urban location, Costco Goleta, Monday, March 7, 2016, Eagle on a Ranger I like the old school black & yellow license plate, why didn't I think of that? Take those jacks off before something gets hurt.

I've sort of looked at that. I usually work using the following... The number of people = double the number of feet in the foot space under the table = the number of dinner sized plates on the table. In our small truck campers, with the number of people = 3, I find that the feet under the...
