Damn......I hope she stays in the park, if she moves out to the Kaibab forest she's a goner. I also know of a wolf being hit on Highway 89 north of Flagstaff a few years back, a migrant from the Mexican grey wolf releases in Eastern Arizona. I have had the pleasure of hearing a few of them howl...

What you really want is not an Eagle, but a Ranger II, twenty years old and in good shape. Frankly your budget might be a little low, but miracles do occur. It's just that by definition miracles occur infrequently, as if they were more common we would call them something else. A couple of tips...

two comments on the above post: 1) That Phoenix in Cheyenne is a killer deal. 2) The photos of the Caribou Outfitter in Flagstaff were clearly taken in the valley. There are no palm trees in Flagstaff. Not saying its a scam, many people own homes in Phoenix and Flagstaff, just saying proceed...

@billharr Also check out: http://www.tosimplify.net/ http://mobilecodgers.blogspot.com/ http://occupation-of-independence.blogspot.com/ more examples of the "extreme early retirement" philosophy. If you cut your expenses to the bone (biggest being rent or mortgage), give up on the female (or...

Speaking of cool showers check out this recent cheaprvliving dot com post. I love his whole setup, best vandwelling van ever. http://www.cheaprvliving.com/blog/ingenious-van-conversion-simple-indoor-shower/ One day. I will live in a van down by the river and life will be perfect.

Uhhh, that Bobcat is in Wisconsin, not Denver.

Boy that last one is an odd one....clearly not an FWC, lift system is all different. Also, never seen that three burner stove in an FWC. Overhead cab also looks deeper than an FWC. I am thinking maybe an early Phoenix or even maybe an Outfitter? At 1500 its a steal no matter what it is.

Wondering if anyone has installed these new thin solar panels and if they have an opinon. Advantages to a FWC/ATC owner seem obvious, particularly the weight, as we have to lift our roofs. Please ignore the fact that these newRV, trust fund hipster kids need a serious beating.

Congratulations on your decision to change your life and have some adventure! Another couple who went with a Phoenix pop up did the very same thing a couple years back...and I only put this out there as a word of caution, but they were violently attacked in a remote village in Peru. They did...

Ski3pin searches all of Craigslist for all the popup campers you mention, and posts here regularly. That is by far your best bet. Have cash on hand and be ready to pounce. Your "luck" in finding a camper will also have some geographic limitations. Older FWC's (70's, 80's, up to mid 90's) are...

Ebay, no reserve Hawk in Noth Carolina "needs some TLC". I have no connection to listing. Issues look relatively minor, needs new lino, some "abrasions" on the upper camper fabric. Could be a steal for the right person. Wasn't there a kid from Asheville who was desperate for a FWC recently? Its...

Here you go. Not sure you want a project, or if it will fit your truck, but you live in Colorado so there will be lots of these older FWC's popping up http://denver.craigslist.org/rvs/4437261758.html

I know this topic is closed, however, in case anyone comes along with similar question I would like to suggest a: Chromebook. For 200 bucks (sometimes less, sometimes a little more) you get a fast, capable machine that will do 98 percent of what the average user uses a computer for. Chrome (the...

Used 2001 Eagle in Central California, just posted in Gear Exchange. 7000 George Washington Dollars. Honestly, there is no better place than here, unless you troll all of Craigslist yourself. Sometimes campers get posted on expeditionalportal.com before here, if the seller is a regular over...

Cheap older Alaskan in the greater Phoenix area http://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/rvs/4370381085.html

Please note everything above posters have said. I've never owned a VW so they are much better versed, but good friends of mine have and I've spent a significant amount of time in them. Some thoughts: If a vanagon is going for that cheap, there are problems. Rust or a crapped out engine. Tricked...

I'd buy Dirty Dogs Flatbed ATC. And then, a new Newcastle United home shirt. And then, a System 76 Gazelle Laptop. The rest would go in the bank, after taxes of course.

This topic just happens to be a long term goal of mine. : ) "Lack of Toilet facilities" is really a non issue, unless you are the kind of person who absolutely has to flush five gallons of drinking water down the drain with your fecal matter. Piss in a yellow nalgene bottle, but draw a skull...

As others have said, not new. Clearly being sold by Rob Lowe of Phoenix Campers, who built it. I suspect that someone is trading it in, having realized its limitations. Rob is the son of Dave Lowe, who founded Four Wheel Campers. The design is innovative, primarily in that its streamilined and...

I did not understand why light pickups like the Ranger were going out of fashion in the US until I learned about CAFE. Basically, light trucks fall in a giant black hole between the CAFE required environmental standards (which goes by emmisions vs length/weight of vehicle) of a car, and a larger...

The real trick with these new light diesel trucks will be to wait a few years until some gently used ones become available, then you can avoid the "drive it off the lot and have it instantly depreciate 30%" effect. Then, convert it to biodiesel or waste vegetable oil so you aren't paying the...

Wasn't aware of this company, but there are lots of others, like the big one Honeyville Farms, which has great recipies by an in house Chef who blogs online. If you live in Southern California, Phoenix or Salt Lake there are Honeyville Farms brick and mortar stores where you can actually go buy...

I love seeing how much care and attention goes into building an ATC, always wondered how the front of the cabover was bent/welded. I am sure the same care goes into building an FWC, but one can feel the good vibes that Jeff and Marty are puttin' in to your camper. Just think, you will have...

This already exists, is the same basic concept, more portable, less pretentious, easier to duplicate DIY, or fix/replace: But, it has a terrible product name. There is another one made by a boat company called Duckworks. Also not the greatest product name.

I am not speaking from first hand knowledge, but I think Phoenix build quality has improved in the last couple years. Mr Rowe is not working by himself anymore, he actually has a small team, and I have heard some good reports from satisfied recent customers. My issue with Phoenix: Price. A...
