SO much easier to just do one of the numerous "out the window" mods that have been documented on this website for nigh a decade. You get to keep your fridge, then only haul a A/C unit around when you need it. A few minutes (if that) to set it up. If you don't have an arctic pack, get one. Makes...

They are part of a mega rv corp, so they tend to use all the "standard" stuff that the corp clearly buys in bulk. Consumers (hate that word) want smooth fiberglass siding even though campers like FWC/ATC clearly demonstrate the superiority of aluminium. My cons: The exterior lift system. Looks...

They've been teasing this for awhile but its finally out. https://www.truckcampermagazine.com/news/palomino-rv-launches-rogue-line/ Highlights: Aluminum framed. Heater, tankless water heater and outdoor shower options. Fantastic type fans in roof. Sink/two burner stove Hinged pop up, low in...

Damn. If I didn't know better, I'd think this came from the factory. You sir, are a badass.

If you live in the Southwest consider a TurboKool roof mounted evaporative cooler (Stan said they had done at least one of those for a customer), or a K2 Swampy, a portable evaporative cooler. These carry all the limitations of a evaporative cooler, but they do work provided humidity is low...

I believe its called sarcasm.

You will need a Eagle (recently discontinued by FWC), current or older Fleet (from the 80s), or a Ranger II from the late 90s. Or an All Terrain Bobcat. And some luck. Have 3 to 7 thousand dollars on hand and be ready to pounce. Might want to also consider a Roamin' Chariot, they are a...

Homebuilt pop up truck camper on a Tacoma. Seriously imaginative and creative, love the disassembility and storability of it.

Thanks a bunch Gypsy feet. Trying to figure out a porta potty solution, our current one would be too high. Will have a look at the pics on your website and PM you if I need more info. Thanks again!

Could you please post some pics of the new white inside walls? Thanks in advance

Can someone with a Bobcat tell me the depth and height of the standard couch? I've searched on the forum but not been able to find anything. The interior dimensions, if that was not clear. thanks in advance

Well, your best option is to be able to bend space and time while keeping five to ten thousand dollars in your pocket when that perfect camper comes up, cause chances are it won't be for sale for long. Buying a camper sight unseen is inherently risky, IMHO. Could be awesome, could be a...

Driving down the road with an open flame boiling a bunch of ammonia is insane. Not trying to be an ass, I've just seen one too many RV fires in my 49 years, its one thing when you are towing a trailer and you can maybe detach and drive away quickly, but that's not an option with a camper. You...

Just back from Tom's Camperland in Mesa, AZ there is a newish FWC Hawk there, I'd say its a 2011 or newer...they just got it in on a trade so the salesman said they don't have a price on it yet. It's not on their website yet either. I went to take a pic of it to post here and.....my phone died...

Since no one has mentioned it, let me throw this bad boy into the ring: Its an alcohol heater, popular with boaters. Why? Because propane can always go boom, and going boom on a boat is a bad, bad thing. It also doesn't put water into the air like burning propane does, and will work at very...

It's time to start putting GPS tracking units on all FWC's and Allterrains, I'd say. Maybe it should come standard from the factory.

EZ lite seems more like a mom and pop shop, which is not a bad thing. Product looks like a decent, basic camper. Which is all some folks need/want. I know people who own wood framed campers, both pop up and hard sided and they have no issue taking them off road, provided its not TOO far off...

Suspicious at best. If I was in New York, and you gave me a contingent of Navy SEALs as force protection I might be willing to go to West 228th st and check it out. Google earth'd it. Its in the projects.

No kidding. I guess he wouldn't have to worry about a roof collapse under all that mountain snow.

Well, that really all depends on what you are looking for. If you want an aluminum framed offroad camper that will be here in ten or twenty years, then probably not. Hallmarks do seem to have more "bling", ie more of the comforts of home than FWC, ATC etc. Outfitters seem to be FWC clones, but...

That 1994 Grandby in Encinitas for 2800 George Washington dollars looks more like a 1984 Grandby to me. Just sayin'. Still a fair, though not great price.

Guessing that's a Ranger II, but Stan would be the person to verify that.

When it comes to no refridgeration in the outdoors, I keep it real. Real 1700's.

That 2012 Bobcat in WI is a good deal at 9K. Also, excellent walk through video. Here is the direct youtube link:

I recall but could not find a post from a few years back that where some guy had taken moving blankets, the thick quilted kind, and cut them up, sewed some velcro on it and called it good. He said it was super effective. This dude, who lives in a toyota motorhome in Alaska in winter uses "oven...
