Strange They give you a red piece of paper stating you can’t install a camper yet they tell you how to install one in the owner manual. Thanks for the clarification.

Nice pics and funny write up Aaron. What a fun but short time. Wish I had the time to go out with you guys the back way. Now that looked just like my kinda road :lol: But somebody gotta work. It was real nice meeting you all and hope we can do another one in short order. Cheers ( yes we had...

I am sorry if I offended any one here on the Forum. Just wanted to share my experiences over the last few years dealing directly with manufacturers on which vehicle is suited for a slide in or in my case slide on truck camper. The Power Wagon is a great truck with some awesome capabilities...

You'll know if I win the lottery. There will be a new Power Wagon in my driveway!!!! B) Yeah but you can’t put a camper on it.. :( It specifically states it in the owner’s manual.

Strange that they would have a brand new Dodge sitting in the middle of Bodie! Your just jealous they wouldn't let your new Ford in... :lol:

From a spec sheet from the mfg. ground clearance is the lowest point of the vehicle to the ground. So a chevy might have a good number such as 9.5 inches compared to say a dodge. But the undercarriage can be lower overall and hence the talk of what users refer to as ground clearance. In real...

Fun times Some pics of the rally: Cool campsite; thanks guys Bodie lunch spot It's a Dodge with a flatbed... Some other carriage Bodie Cheers Marc

When I did my search for a long range full size truck I ended up with a used 05 Dodge 3500 short bed 4x4 Diesel. It has a short wheel base ; yet 4 full doors. I also prefer a short bed for the tighter turning radius and the break over angle. The cabin of the truck is spacious; the seats are...

Hi All Attenders: It was great meeting you all. My wife and I had a very good time with you folks. After we left, we camped one night over at Highland Lakes (Hwy 4) on the stream below the lakes. I caught several small fish, but only kept a few. Some of you went on to some ghost towns I think...

This dodge 05 is the 1st Diesel I ever owned and I have to say it is fantastic. I love the power; the fuel mileage and the range I get with this one. I had a 1500 Chevy 4x4 before. Great truck; very comfy( the dodge is not as comfy but pretty close)but the fuel mileage just killed me.I also...

I want to winter camp in ski resort parking lots and trailer parks near ski resorts. Are there any other hard wall pop up manufacturers other than Alaskan? Any way to use a soft wall pop up in well below freezing temps without going thru a ton of propane? Sorry about the typo in the title. lol...

It was a lot of fun meeting you all. Yes; good times for sure :D Can't wait for the next get together; cook some jummy food and drink some excellent cocktails.... Thanks for the good time until next time....

wow I am surprised to hear that. The few times i eat there the food was most outstanding. That was a few years back though. I did stop there last weekend but the line was too long so I didn't end up getting anything.

The best bumper on the market IMO http://xpcamper.com/front-bumper.html

I live in Nevada City, so that's pretty close to home for me. I like Wild Plum Campground just above Sierra City, so maybe 30 min. drive from your event. It is a regular campground, but not on the highway 49, like all the other sites near Downieville. There is a forest service road about...

Being a Chef myself I have to say the food is outstanding. They also have a great beer and wine selection to match the food.

Great design, but too expensive for my wallet. For example, diesel heat might work great but it appears to be 3 or 4 times more expensive than a propane furnace, although I'm not sure about comparative fuel costs. It also works 3-4 times better than propane fueled appliances. Uses less power...

Cool What time??

I've played a few times around Bodie. There is a lot to explore and vast open lands to camp on. All we need is a starting meeting point and go from there. Marc

Thanks for the tip Silvertip. My 2009 Dodge 5.7 Hemi Quad Cab short bed is rated by the manufacturer for an 1850 pound payload. My Dodge transmission has a tow/hawl feature which helps on hills and mountains, as well as with transmission durability (it is a 5 speed automatic). Actually that...

Hey Jack; how's Casa running? You probably have the biggest camper of all of us here :lol: Welcome!!

Thom; I just talked to Jack about Casa. He was all exited to get her running again. He mentioned he might do another one late in the summer/early fall. Sure was a blast. See ya at the dunes... Life is a beach :lol:

Oops, sorry Marc. I did mean Howard Lake, not Hoover Lake. Thus the Magellan moniker. :huh: Pliney the Elder is a double IPA from Russian River Brewery. I turned DD on to it on the Blackrock trip, but he can't get it in his neighborhood anymore. Pliney They also make one called Pliney the...

Will that XP make it through the drivethrough at in n out?? Thats one place the FWC/ATC folks can navigate rather easily(now I'm salivating)...Hard sider??? Park and go in Oh yeah; been to quite a few of them in the last year :P I also had it in several parking garages...
