x 2 on weighing the entire package before making assumptions. I think most advertised dry weights, and the guestimated weight of all the goodies brought along, tend to be overly optimistic.

and here north of you in the land of Starbucks hipsters, its clear and dry and a few degrees warmer ( a little more marine influence on the temps I guess)

Definitely interested in seeing the plates. I may want to do a little preemptive upgrade, if for nothing else, piece of mind (plus I can't leave well enough alone - if it ain't broke, fix it till it is ;) ). I can see the drivers side on mine, very easy access and would be a simple job...

Does it come with wheelie bars?

The uppers would be more jarring only when empty. As they extend the contact point down for the upper overloads, they will engage sooner, even without a load. On my truck, with no load, they have ~1/2" before contact. During normal driving, that 1/2" gets taken up pretty quick so you get a...

Only 12, gonna get 1 more snow night in this weekend (at least that's the plan...)

Looks like 32 lbs

I've been looking at this one from Cabelas. for the price, and the favorable reviews, seems like a decent deal...

The Airlift 5000 system has the built in bump stops so you can run them with no pressure, that is if you remember to air them down. It looks like the Northstar uses a similar connection point on their campers

Wow, they sure are proud of them aren't they! I think you have a good plan, depending on your springs you may not need to drill (which I'm sure is lot more fun than they make it look like)

I only have the uppers. I did also end up adding airbags but that was mainly so I could level the tow bar when we tow the jeep along (also can help with minor leveling at camp sites). I don't think they necessarily increase or decrease the load to the camper, it's just that they engage the...

Basically they are there to engage contact with the overload spring sooner and/or all the time. The wedge style fits between the main spring pack and the lower overload spring. It can pivot out of the way so you can disengage if you aren't carrying a load to help minimize the harsh ride. The...

My K2 has the rear storage containers and those same turnbuckle mounts. I've always wondered what the actual structure was for them and how the mount was actually attached. The little bit of poking around I have done never really cleared it up for me. Was that top plate sandwiched between...

Any auto parts storewill take them. You can probably find recycling places that may pay about 3 or 4 dollars a piece. Batteries are the most recycled item, over 95% of each battery will get reused in some manor or another Sent from my SCH-I925 using Wander The West mobile app

Had a similar experience to Bigfoot when we first picked up ours. Got surprised by a large bump in the road and the the camper was quite active. Lost 3 of the 4 hold downs, and it shifted. Got to where we were going to camp and got it resettled. Had to readjust the threaded rod on a couple...

I've used Bay Photo https://bayphoto.com/ with good results. I've heard a lot of people who have good results with Cosco too

Thank you for sharing these, such a joy to go through them and see your travels from a very artistic and relaxed view. Beautiful work, hope to see much more to come.

You'll enjoy the 6.7l, you do have to be careful on mountain passes though, way too easy to go too fast uphill. Plus if you have the windows down you'll probably get bugs in your teeth from all the grinning. Been thinking of doing the same thing with the tape lights, might even consider doing...

Quality place, have always had a good experience ordering from them. Sent from my STV100-2 using Wander The West mobile app

Yes it was. There are still a few out in the wild... Sent from my SCH-I925 using Wander The West mobile app

The Tow/Haul mode just adjusts the transmission shift points so it will hold a gear longer and then down shift sooner.

Same fabric here too in our 2015 K2, pretty popular choice. Interior looks almost identical to mine. Love how much light comes in with all those big windows opened up. Nice camper, you should enjoy for a long time.

Didn't get out enough this year to any places that would be able to keep up with what you guys have.(life keeps getting in the way). Oh well, got the cover last year, look out for next year though :)

I too have almost every western state in Benchmark and/or DeLorme (little nuances between the 2). They typically aren't the greatest scale to get real good detail, but will definitely get you to and through an area. And they don't need to be recharged. I haven't dug in enough nor wanted to...

The big storm that wasn't. The "smaller" storm on Thursday PM/Friday AM ended up much worse (see Clikfr8/Judy's comments on the VoG thread). Still there were trees down and power outages, pretty typical stuff though. The local TV weather forecasters are all doing their mea culpas. Well at...
