I tend to agree - Usal may be a bit hard to find for some people and have the potential to be crowded and/or prone to bad weather. I did not have a good experience at Usal Beach. I did a 4 day tour of the lost coast last July and ended up there on a Tuesday. It was more crowded than anywhere...

I agree. I see you are in SF and I read somewhere that you manufacture in Marysville. I'm located inbetween so hope I'll see one of your campers in person one of these days. Many of us end up showing our campers to others while on the road. This would be a change - I'll be the one asking for a...

I hit a tree pretty hard a while back; only scratched the surface and never fixed it to show people how though the cabin actually is. I helped him get off the tree. His camper was leaning pretty hard against a stub left by a broken branch. Luckily he got off the tree before damaging his...

Way cool! How was the road to Weaver Lake? It looks pretty gnarly as it forks off from Bowman Lake Rd. Were there a lot of people back there this weekend? The parade looked like a hoot! -steve

I also plan to check out some of the lost coast in a few weeks. It's been on my list for years. I"d love to travel Usal Rd from the beach up to the 4 corners area, but I'm not sure I can in my truck (dodge 2500 2wd with a heavy pop-up camper). I should be able to if it's recently been graded...

I"m pretty sure the Hallmark uses the composite panels as exterior panels only and are still fastened to a wood frame. They don't like to mention this. They aren't a full composite structure like the Earthroamer they mention (both use composites from C.F. Meier). Hallmarks have been around a...

We are building a pop up camper that has no overhead bed at all. the walls will be taller and it will have two doors on it. One on the rear and one on the pass side. It will not fit in a conventional pick up and will hold full sheets of plywood or sheet rock. This will have the ability to cut...

Steve, This is too funny. My son and I were out for two nights. On Thursday night we made a quick camp along HWY 89, before fishing a number of creeks in the Jackson Meadows area on Friday. Late Friday afternoon we made our way toward Bowman and camped in Canyon Creek CG, just up the road...

mtnman, I live just up the road from you. I"m curious where you went? I'm always looking for nice places in the local mountains to go. I spent an evening at Sawmill Lake on friday and it was gorgeous! It was a quick trip as I had to be back on Saturday. Glad you are liking your Hawk. They...

This is an interesting thread! I have an '06 Dodge CTD 4X2 that I bought new. It's a great truck. I didn't opt for 4WD because at that time I didn't see the need. I already had 3 4WD vehicles that got around fine in the snow up here. I hadn't thought of using my camper to get to remote...

A few months ago, I bought the Pacbrake brand as they look substantially better made. I was impressed when I installed them. They've worked well so far. At the time, I found them online for the same price of $240 that I found the Firestones. They've since gone up to $270. I bought it from...

Chris, You need the XP Camper. You know you want it... ;) -steve

Awesome pictures! I plan to do practically the same thing the week before the july 4th weekend. -steve

I see they waded just a little too far into the shallow end of the gene pool... :D -steve

John D: Now that's what I call useful info! :thumb: What value resistor worked for you? This will depend on the LED used. You need to know what current (I) it requires, and what voltage drop (Vd) it has when on. R = (14.4-Vd)/I I used 14.4V rather than 12V as that is what can be seen when...

Bump. I want to add another red LED to my fixtures, but I can't remember which fit the incandescent contacts: 1156 or 1157 type connectors? Anyone know? These are 1156 bulbs. 1157 are dual filament I believe. I have tried the 36 LED lights from V-LEDs as well as the hong kong ebay seller...

Here they are listing at 50A dual pole service (220V). Looks like they use circuit breakers in the panel which would allow you to kill the power before plug/unplugging the electrical connection, thus making it a safer deal...

Now all that has to be sorted out is it a "50A RV plug" is 50A @ 220V or 25A @ 220V. You have an reference for the 25A situation? I don't have a reference, but pulling 50A at 220V though a hot pluggable connector does not sound like a good plan to me! That's a lot of energy to disrupt...

This conversion between 220/110 is NOT correct, the amperage stay the same and only the voltage changes. I would be very bad to get this tidbit mixed up. A "X" amp 220 feed is comprised of two (2) "X" amp 110 feeds. Or the other way to look at it is you can get two (2) "X" amp feeds from a...

I've been busy getting ready for the pig trip and I leave in the morning. I'll have to follow up on this when I get back. Does the Shelter Cove Campground have electrical hookups? If there is no hookups, someone may have a generator with them? I bet someone can help you with this there...

If anybody needed airbags, it's you. What's the wet weight? I haven't weighed it, but the dry weight with all my options comes to 1900lbs. Add ~450 lbs for 50Gal of fresh water and 10Gal of propane and it's a heavy pop-up! -steve

You put on PACBRAKE AIRBAGS, Steve you're a wise man, and because of that we decided we will waive the 100 post min. Give the boys a full report on those bags, because some of these people need all the information they can get. I'll post something more when I have more experience with them...

The Norcold N300's are a good choice for absortion type. They are pretty simple and old school. This means that they practically use no electricity when running on propane. The fancy Dometic I used to have in my old Elkhorn camper would drain the battery in a few days due to the electronics...

And maybe post a few interior pics, please! I need better pictures, but here's a few. I hope this is ok. I really do not want to come across as an Outfitter salesguy! One of the things I like about the Outfitter is the basement, where all the tanks are. The fresh water is 44Gal, and the...

Steve, welcome to the House Of Nuts. You've been lurking for a while, Maybe not long enough. Now we had a 100 post min. for Pig Roast qualification, you're a little short, that is a nice camper on that Dodge, I'm pretty sure you're going to need airbags, and there sure is a lot of useless info...
