My TC800 (1999) weighed in at 1230 lbs. with 1/2 of the 37 gallon water tank and full propane, exactly what the hand written tag said. They are built SOLID and are light for a "comfort" pop up and have nothing but good things to say about them. My buddy has had his on full time since 2000 with...

Not only that,...the weight keeps going up with all the gadgets. My friends Tacoma outweighs my old Dodge Ramcharger by a thousand pounds......It's a mini truck????

Sounds like Manxman has the setup. Roomy, light, high clearance, low profile. A nice spare tire rack on the back and go-time ;)

If it's not too late, you might want to add Hellwig bigwig bags to your list of options. They take 1/2 the air pressure for the same support which equates to better ride and have nearly double the travel. The bigger the bags the better the ride.

That setup would be ideal for an XP/flatbed (if that's in reach of your budget). Alaskans are also awfully nice and remind you of being in a sailboat with all the high quality wood work and character that goes with it. IMHO the smaller pop-ups should be reserved for the weight carrying...

Used one of these season after season. Folds up into a steering wheel sized package, weighs nothing and is indestructible. Porti-potti and shower https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_st_price-asc-rank?keywords=popup+changing+tent&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Apopup+changing+tent&qid=1526943712&sort=price-asc-rank

Ended up getting the fancy oxygenetics one for the interior, it's OK. And one of THESE for the exterior shower and couldn't be happier with it-...

I always get these oversized and cut to fit perfectly. Lasts forever and they feel great on bare feet :D http://afm.waterhogfloormats.com/waterhog-fashion-drainable-mats/

Thanks. I was looking at one of those air injected ones-ecocamel....oxygenics... to save water while my wife still gets a good shower. I like your two ideas for the outside one.

I was thinking of upgrading my inside shower head and was wondering what the "go to" one is? I see a few on the internet but they all say they're the best. Any recommendations for our lower pressure setups? Thanks-

Their not terribly bad as I got the oversized hellwig bigwig bags that take less air and ride a little better. It's just that no matter what I do, every month or so they lose a few pounds of air. Even tested them underwater in a bucket with no success. I'm pretty anal about things working...

I just wish there was a clear choice for part time campers. I have custom internal bypass shocks that have to be "setup" to match springs and weight to work right and there's no way to have bolth. I know that there are adjustable shocks and "helper" springs that I was thinking might be the...

So Vic, did you ever find out what the actual percentage of disparity in output between "same" quality flexi versus std. panel? I didn't have the energy to read that whole 20 pg post... :(

Looks good. Thanks, I think I'll do the same. The flexibles are a great idea but it seems like they need another year or so to come up with a ready-to-mount (adhesive included) self cooling panel for RVs.

So, would you have just used regular panels if you had to do it again? It seems like if you need to build spacers and frame things it might be better to just buy the cheaper, more efficient standard ones....I sometimes make things harder than they need to be :(

Sorry, I must have had a short attention span when I looked at the amsolar page. I guess the TPO Lance roof falls somewhere in the middle as there is no plywood and only foam below. I'd bet with the tape and screws it would hold fine :huh: I'd rather use traditional panels anyway for the...

I was already looking at the VHB tape or eternabond for hold-down combined with a bead of dicor around panel perimeter and that seems like the way to mount??? Do the Amsolar ones just stick on with tape and no screws? Their description is a little vague?

It would seem like the marine applications would be a good test. Renogy....good to know, I've used their controllers with good results...From the little research I've done, the brands- sunpower and Lensun were reviewed the best but again, short term

I'm starting to outfit may latest camper and was thinking of using flexible panels instead of traditional. I've noticed most have a 1-2 year warranty while my traditional panels were 20 years and up....Has anyone had one go bad or break? I've used one as a front window sunshield on my Alaskan...

Selling a great condition Northstar in Oceanside CA. Thanks for looking :). CL link- https://sandiego.craigslist.org/nsd/rvs/d/northstar-tc-800-camper-like/6495363695.html

The Coopers are great for "all around" with light offroading...They're light, strong and quiet. Toyos are great if you're gonna hit more trails, sharp rocks,....they're heavy and bombproof and suck 1-2 extra mpg, especially the M55 and M/Ts. The best tires to depend on are the M/Ts and 55s...

Yeah, you're probably right. My Alaskan factory truck rode unbelievably well with the proper rear springs. On the other hand, I wanna take the camper off for months at a time and probably wouldn't be happy with that ride...

Well I've had it with the airbags and am looking at helper springs and am hoping to get some input from owners. My wife just got her way, and a bathroom, as I've just bought a Lance 825 to replace my Northstar TC800 (for sale if you know anyone :) ). Anyways, after removing the A/C and jacks...
