When you talk to DMV you get "hear say". Not accurate. Go to Oregon law ORS. The vertical measurement is from the inside floor to the inside ceiling when the camper is in the "down the road position." 5.5 feet anywhere inside. Less than 5.5 feet means no state license or title required. Please...

Kamp-Rite makes a good shower/dressing tent.

The only reason to title and licence a FWC or an Outfitter Caribou or a Hallmark is to finance it through a bank or credit union. To the Oregon DMV these rigs are simple not campers ----they do not meet the definition of a camper (ORS) when in the down position heading down the road. I have...

Thanks Bill. That Wallmart Ozark Tent cot is a great price. Best to you Bill

Thanks Squatch! You have given excellent clarity to an unclear subject. I now know what is necessary for a wise purchase. It comes down to truck and boat space for me. I may go with the ExL Folding 32 x 90 so I will have room for my dog and me (or am I just dreaming?) I will make my purchase...

Thanks Squatch. I now understand the collapsable series. I have a small brain here--must be the elevation. I did notice that several ads do not list the rain fly as included in the price/order. If you look at the over-sized Tent-cot advertised by Target, it shows clearly the same newer...

Thanks Squatch--you are the man!! I learned from your experience. I think you are right about the Cabelas design being based on an older model. Thanks for including your photos. I noticed that some over sized tent cots have the clips on top attaching to the poles (like your over sized cot on...

I am thinking about buying a Kamp-Rite DTC443 Oversize tent-cot which measures 32" wide x 90" Long. I understand that the Cabelas model is built by Kamp-Rite for about a hundred bucks more than the Kamp-Rite. Anyone have any knowledge about this cot? Why buy the Cabelas? or why buy the...

My Caribou 8 VIN number is located to the left of the entry door. My camper is a Caribou 8 manufactured in 2007 so the VIN number is CB80037 The CB8 refers to the model Caribou 8. The 3 refers to the 3rd unit produced in 2007 and the 7 refers to the year 2007. Mine is located low and to the...

I am due to replace my Goodyear Wranglers OE tires 275-60R-20 VERY soon. I have 48,000 plus miles (99.9% on road miles) on my 2009 Dodge Ram 1500 with a 2007 Outfitter Caribou 8' Camper with Timbrens and Firestone Air Coils. Right now my #1 tire choice is: Cooper Discoverer A/T3 rated 2679...

Just stumbled on this thread...What we've just started using is a new "Aero Press". It's like a french press but uses a filter. It lowers the acidity and IMHO makes a far better cup of coffee or expresso than a standard French Press. It's plastic so not breakable. I now use one at home and in...

Few to no skeeters at East lake. Loving the camper--mobile and comfortable. Still can't reduce photo size so one per posting has to do: East lake Campground is fairly quiet and feels isolated even when full--29 spots but there is something sacred there. My gas mileage is regular minus 4-5...

Paulina Crater is one of my favorites in Central, OR. Got any more photos, Fitwon? Few to no skeeters at East lake. Loving the camper--mobile and comfortable. Still can't reduce photo size so one per posting has to do: East lake Campground is fairly quiet and feels isolated even when full--29...

My Outfitter Caribou 8 has a Fiamma F35 Pro rear awning, but I have not figured out how to use it yet. The poles are up there with the awning, attach to the camper angled back and I still have a tiny brain for all things new. When I get it open, I will report back. The directions within the...

My first trip with my 2007 Outfitter Caribou 8 went well. Fishing was good and this trip was only 27 miles from my home. East Lake is inside the Newberry National Volcanic Monument's caldera 5 miles East of Paulina Lake. My dog Shady Lady loves the Outfitter. The 80 watt solar panel keeps my...

Well I decided against the big boat, really like the Riverhawk etc but don't want to invest much until I know I would use it. Ebay to the rescue! I found a cheap Sunbird SPL 150 with an Evinrude 50 hp and a decent trailer. Motor runs well but I won't get it out into the lake for another week or...

Howdy Folks , Thought I would repost to see if it brings me any responses. I have been patiently searching for for a used pop up camper over the last 9 months. Its been frustrating and and after seeing lots of mis-advertised popup junk I have decided that I will refuse to buy anything other...

And for your green beans and supplies (and good reviews): http://www.sweetmarias.com/index.php Carlyle, how do you like your Behmor roaster? I'd experiment with roasting beans over a campfire, but I'm afraid I'd set the forest on fire with hot chaff I use a SwissGold 300 one cup...

That setup sounds pretty cool..... I do not know your area well at all, but my guess is you should look at Silvetip47's boat--a great size that can fish the small and most large lakes and some rivers. That set up can work for many functions--very nice. Here is another attempt at a picture of...

That setup sounds pretty cool..... I just paid off my 2009 19' (plus 2' transom ext.) River Hawk (Aluminum) with a Evinrude V4 115 HP E-tech. I think my boat/trailer/engine weigh in at 2450 lbs dry weight. I will try to attach a photo. Here is my take on what you are proposing. 1. What type of...

What tax are you guys are referring to? You still need a plate for the truck right? In Oregon "Campers" are required to be licenced and titled by the State. However, FWC and Outfitters or any soft sided "camper" generally does not meet the definition of "Camper" by DMV (If floor to ceiling is...

hey J. I see you made it over here to. see's like a nice forum so far. Hey J, You are fortunate to be in NV. It has some good tax laws, lower gas prices than Oregon, no income tax, and a spirit of independence throughout the state. I like the Reno and Winnemuca areas. Good luck on the job...

You will also save BIG bucks when you take your new rig to Alaska on the ferry! Tell me more Stew! I am planning a trip next summer to The Yukon then to Alaska for some Sockeye action and was considering ferrying back. I am heading to Watson Lake to trace my Dad's work on the Alaska-Canadian...

I never thought about states hitting them up :angry: They haven't discovered that source of revenue in NM. hush--keep it on the down low--NM may be watching:o I did pay my dog tax.
