Thanks so much for your prompt reply. I have followed Steph and Leigh for several years now and have gained many insights and much inspiration by following their journey. They have a few videos where they speak of their raised platform. I like that they have been using this system continuously...

Welcome Bradders I'm interested in your project and have subscribed to this topic. Would you mind sharing the specs on the aluminum you have chosen. I am assuming 6061. What wall thickness have you chosen? I ask as I have a similar project coming up. I will be moving my slide-in camper to a...

@Jack » Thank you for your report on the Ranger/Fleet combo. It's very useful. @Occidental I see from your signature that you now have a 2020 Ford Ranger with a 2012 Eagle. I'd love to learn from your experiences. I took a look on your site but didn't find any mention of the Ranger setup over...

Thanks for everyone's contribution. I'm still puzzled as to why it is designed this way, but I see the benefits of having the 'shelf' and the wider floor space to move about easier. Stay Safe! Santé Robert

I've seen people replacing the top access with doors on the front. They found it a pain having to remove everything sitting on the top counter to access that storage area. And yea, I guess a side benefit would be access to that cupboard when the roof is down.

Another option to add to your analysis paralysis, that, to some extent, combines the tarp and awning options you propose, is to install an awning track on your camper. These are still used on boats and were popular with campers in the past. They are lightweight and work well. One downside is...

There is something about some FWC interior cabinet designs that I'm not understanding. As demonstrated in the photo from inside a 2019 Hawk I've attached to help me explain, the bottom cabinet by the door extends to the door. I understand the reason for this. However, the rest of the cabinets...

Isabelle and Antoine self built the van a few years back, sold their home in Quebec, and hit the road full time. They have based themselves in B.C. If memory serves, they are both engineers, and their logic and build quality is next level and difficult to criticise. They share much of their...

Thank you for the advice and recommendations. And again, thank you for posting this.

I'm planning to add a Webasto heater to my ATC shell model. So I appreciate you sharing the report of your installation and your photos. Lots of wonderful ideas here. For example, I hadn't thought of using a Rotopax container as you have, and need to give that some consideration. I also love...

I'm happy that the guys at All Terrain Campers are doing well. ATC resist going corporate and remain a small shop because that's what they want. This allows them to maintain quality and put out a good product. Every ATC owner I've spoken with is happy with their purchase. They to do custom...

When I asked how business was, Jeff answered, "Too well." Customers keep placing orders. This time last year, the build lead time was 6 months. In November, when I last inquired, the wait had climbed to 12 months.

A few thoughts » I plan to install a Webasto heater in a ATC slide-in type camper later this year. I'm not willing to trust the knockoff versions. The ones I have seen are cheaply made. Webasto and Espar are spendy but have been used extensively in the trucking, farming, mining, and other...

If you hesitated ordering a new All Terrain Camper, this might not be good news for you. I was speaking with Jeff yesterday about my upcoming build, and he informed me the current wait time for a new ATC was now 16 months! Customers are willing send in their deposit and wait over a year for...

That's alcohol abuse. Have you thought of winter windshield washer fluid? Stuff I use is good to -40 degrees.

I plan on installing the gasoline burning model, so that I only need to find and carry one fuel as I travel internationally (same reasons mentioned in the video above). I'd love to learn from other people's experience and see how they fitted these in their pop up. So far, I've only found Leigh &...

Has anyone other than GrizzlyNbear Overland installed either a Espar or Webasto gasoline or diesel heater in their slide in popup truck camper? I'd love to see it was accomplished. GrizzlyNbear Overland » The Ultimate Upgrade » In a later video they reveal that they have removed all propane...

If you add a ceramic pizza stone to the Coleman camp oven it helps to regulate the heat and helps prevent hot spots that burn your bottoms (of muffins & bread). Also, the temp gauge on the front is not at all accurate. I'm hoping to try the Omnia soon.

@Zialen I previously owned a 4WC Fleet. Had it on a 2007 Taco and regrettably sold it. When I was looking for another pop up camper, I knew better what I wanted and needed because of my experience with the Fleet. I have big plans and requirements for the camper over the next 10 years and was...

I'd love to see what you ended up doing. I have a 1st gen Taco and I'm having ATC build me a Bobcat that will be permanently bolted in. I've previously owned a FWC and after a couple of turnbuckles came loose – probably due to being over tightened by moi – I was always nervous about them...

I'm not an engineer, but in one of my past lives I raced on track and in rally. Whenever we needed to add weight, we'd keep it as low as possible, as central as possible, and always between the wheels. Adding weight, in itself, is detrimental to handling, acceleration, deceleration, normal wear...

It would be awesome to see an authentic restoration of one of these.
