For me, a farm jack, a handfull of good D shackles, a couple proper straps,chokers and some good chain with the right hooks and you are good to go.

Farm Jacks are great and have tons of uses but they can't do everything. Not everybody wants or needs a big winch on the front end but I gotta say there is no way on God's green earth I am putting any amount of trust in a Chinese made come-along. :eek: If you don't want to pack a big winch...

This is an in depth review of the Engel 45 that may provide your answers. http://www.expeditionportal.com/equipment/equipment_reviews/fridge/engel/index.php

Nice pics; SWIMPAL and I are taking our new rig and heading south for at least 3 weeks in a month or so. She has never driven the entire length of Baja so we may be going as far south as the East Cape and Todos Santos but by her firm request we will avoid Cabo completely. :D Odale!

We also have the Engel 45. It was actually bought b4 we took delivery of the camper; Our ATC is a shell model and the Engel fits perfectly on the floor and the rest of the gear gets packed around it. I don't want it permanently mounted as it does double duty as the outside bar fridge at home. :D

Whose retired? I'm self employed and have been for most of my life. In fact, I'll probably NEVER be able to retire! :( I once went 8 years without a vacation............ Thankfully those days are over. Unless I win the lottery or inherit a bunch of dough I expect I'll still be workin'...

First, if you store your food in your tent or camper or if you like a midnight snack of candy, pop, doughnuts, or cookies, you will be inviting a bear or a family of bears right into your world. Hoist it up into a tree (between 10 and 15 feet) or store it in a bear can. Don't clean fish in...

Thanks. They're spoiled rotten :o BTW I guess I'll post this here for the dog lovers: Check out the cool dog seat cover for the back of the Tundra my SWIMPAL whipped up out of a whole hide we got cheap. It's anchored around the seats and headrests front and back, the flap protects the...

They make a model that fits my Tundra just right. And their customer service is terrific. ;)

Here are our 7 year old Viszla littermates Herc and Shally.

I especially like the headliner material they are using: bright white textured stuff the ladies will love without being too frilly for the guys. And Lord do I HATE the fabric on the ceiling! Funky gawd awful white brocade like some kind of cheap coffin liner or a hotel mattress???? :D :D...

Coinkydink? I've only got a couple hundred miles on the truck with the Super Shell on it and yesterday I pulled the slider out of my screen to see out the back better. I think I have a piece of plex in the shop that might fit in there too!

I have one of these http://www.seefred.com/cgi-bin/shop.pl/page=propanetank.htm It's a magnetic strip you stick on the tank; then pour a cup of very hot water on it and it shows the tank level. They work great and last a long time; not sure how it would work for an installed tank tho' I...

did you not see the fabric when you bought the rig? We had the camper custom built and we scored the end of the year free delivery. We went to the extent of supplying the fabric for the cushions and drapes but nobody told us the ceiling was fabric covered also. :(

Grandma's Doily on my Ceiling? I've had the Super Shell all of 3 days and can already say I probably should have gotten the vent over the bed.:( And Lord do I HATE the fabric on the ceiling! Funky gawd awful white brocade like some kind of cheap coffin liner or a hotel mattress???? :eek: I...

I've done a little driving now with the Super Shell on the truck and aside from the wind noise it really does not affect the truck all that much. That being said, I want to start paring my gear down a bit. My tool kit is pretty dang heavy and I'm wondering if I've just got too much stuff in it...

More pics A surprising little bit of personalizing thanks to a secret communique between my BW and the ATC boys. :) We wanted to feel at home away from home and since the house is a wild tropic scene so is the camper. Ben has a regular string of jokes about how bright the upholstery is :p...

And there ya go! That's Ben over on the left, recording for posterity, the ATC boys' fine work. Opened up

Talked to Ben today and it looks if all goes well by tomorrow afternoon I'll be sporting my brand spanking new ATC Super Shell on the back of the Tundra. It will have: front slider, back window, extra drivers side window, awning light, awning, rear floods,screen door, dead bolt, 12volt outlet...

:D

Looking good Ben, I sure wish we had a shop that size!

I believe that October is open right now :eek: :eek: Better not let Mrs. Grumpy hear that :p .....................

Ouch. I am the bring it to you guy and I am being nice. Maby you should ask Ben to bring it to you. That way I can keep working here. haha. We are pretty sure that we will not be working on easter Sunday. It is as good a reason as any to get some sleep. Have a happy easter every one. Hey...

Yours is still on schedule unless you would like us to sell it for you before you pick it up. No; In fact just for that, I think I'll make you bring it here instead!! :D
