nice light touch on the steering I'm sure. Probably feels like it's floating...

Yep, been signed up for awhile. We didnt attend last year but we were right in the area exploring. Really hoping its cooler this year. Sent from my SCH-I925 using Wander The West mobile app

I have had a reverse camera mounted on the camper bumper which works fine for backing up. Now however we are set up to tow the wife's new Jeep behind us for areas that we want to base camp and explore via 4x4. Towing the Jeep behind the truck/camper, you don't know it's there - which is the...

x2 Always looking for more refinements (and reasons to tinker) We have the oven option too so only the one bay under the counter and it's congested with the plumbing. Also, our single propane tank is on that side so that blocks off a lot of room in that area. We have the K2 so about 6"...

You could spend a month of Sundays down in the SW corner around Durango, Telluride, any where in the San Juans and never run out of incredible places to explore and photograph

6V batteries (aka Golf Cart batteries) are typically true deep cycle batteries designed to be drawn down slowly, and then recharged vs. starting batteries which are designed for a higher, shorter duration use (i.e. starting an engine). 6V batteries have fewer cells, so typically are made with...

No, that's not the one I was thinking of. Although, I'll be searching through it a lot myself. The Canadian Rockies are definitely on my list of places to explore (of course, there's not many places that aren't). I am long range planning for a trip up the Sunshine Coast, ferry over to...

I have a google map that I update showing all the sites we've stayed at too. A ledger would be better but I don't take notes well or keep a journal, so tech-nerd version. Looking forward to seeing the interior, I can tell the inside layout is a lot different than our K2.

Here's a link to mapbooks, as good or better that the Delorme and Benchmark ones for here in the US. I remember running across a web-site that had a lot of info on ghost towns and old mining sites throughout BC, will have to dig that up. http://www.backroadmapbooks.com/

I would bet it's a battery problem. Unless you do a real load test on them separately, issues will be masked by the good one. I just went through this yesterday with the starting batteries in my diesel. Voltages all looked good, sometimes would have more than enough juice to turn over, other...

Maybe that's the real reason the forest service wants campers to carry a shovel. It's not for wildfires after all

My favorite was watching a guy with a poorly attached, oversized outboard, hit it full throttle in reverse. The very powerful outboard promptly lifted off of the stern, and then sank. Luckily all of the control cables were still attached to the boat so as it pulled the stern underwater, it was...

How about a hitch extension to move the Versahauler back from the bumper a little. Wouldn't be too tough to have cargo tray atteched that would support the fuel jugs

Looks like you already have a luggage carrier on the roof. How about just adding a rack or some sort of carrier and then carrying them up there. Yes, you would have to take down for raising the roof, but there's a lot of unused real estate up there

Discretion is the better part of valor. The stars will align, although sometimes you have to knock them into place with a sledge hammer. Good luck on the continued search/planning.

If you do go with the 2017 F250, looks like it should handle it pretty good, probably have a bit of capacity to spare too. I always believe more truck is better than almost enough. http://www.truckcampermagazine.com/news/ford-tests-2017-super-duty-truck-campers/

Congrats, hope it works out for you. Yes, communication can be a bit of a problem, the product does tend to offset that for most of us though. The raised sections on the roof would be where Yakima tracks would be mounted if equipped so I would think there is extra material there to screw into...

Personally I feel that we are applying the Spay and Neutering practice to the wrong species...

That is exactly how my truck/camper is set up ('12 F350/Hallmark). It's a 5th wheel harness that has the 7 pin connector extended back to the front of the bed where the camper connects. You can get the harness from many sources, here's one... It's actually a 30A circuit, only hot with engine...

80s and 90s here in the Seattle area today. Whole different environment these days...

I did the same thing, just went with the factory replacement camera and another cable. My Hallmark has the bumper where I have a step bracket. I just notched out one of the mounting holes and slid the camera up in there and used a washer to spread the load across the camera tab and the...

Just in case you weren't aware... IMG_5933

Seems we have more and more scumbags in WA these days

With the separate dollies at each jack, it would allow the jacks to flex independently as you move it. Those jacks already seem spindly as it is, and allowing them to flex would apply a lot of torque to the corners of the camper where they're mounted that it wasn't really designed to take. (If...

Pretty much my same experience when we ordered/picked up ours. We put our deposit down in Sept. '14 and they had said they would have ready buy mid-Dec but there was no rush to pick it up, all based on our schedule. With the holidays and the rest of life getting in the way that time of year...
