I took a look a a new Northstar and thought that the quality and construction was very high. I also was impressed by this vid: ken

What do you guys think about Northstar??? Thanks, ken

If you can get cheep,have lots of time, and know what you are doing. This could be a great project and you can have a camper just like you want. If you have to pay someone it would be better to look for another. Man! too bad its not in a little better shape, I would get over there tomorrow! ken

Future Owner Present "fan" ken

Thanks for the reminder! I will be there prolly on Sat to check out a "Hawk" Should be good times! ken EEEEKKKK ! Yes, the show is THIS weekend at Cal Expo. (that was a type-O on my part) Our booth is set up and we have 5 new campers over there now. Thanks for pointing that the dates...

Killer battle wagon!

Reminds me of yesterday I saw an RV gutted by a fire.... Tis the season. Be carefull ken

Like mentioned before you prolly will not need the BTU of the Big Buddy in a camper but it does have a low setting. hth ken what about big buddy? http://www.amazon.com/Heater-MH18B-Portable-Big-Buddy/dp/B0002WRHE8/ref=pd_bxgy_k_img_c Battery or ac fan and wall mountable.. I like that guy...

I really like my Catalytic heater its the " buddy" works great and like said above is slilent and delivers a constant output. I think the throw away containers are wasteful so I use an adapter hose to a 10# tank or the RV's 20#er. But the long of the short of it is , catalytic heaters are...

**********Slight Hijack*********** Could you tell me more about the Carli long travel bags. Thanks Hijack off ken Hi Aaron, Marc is correct..I'm using the Kore Recon suspension kit which includes new springs for the front, new spring packs for the rear, new shocks all around, Billet Drop...

If you want to go to the next level from the 5100's the 7100's are great for DV roads fully tune-able and rebuildable. I run these on my Cruiser and they do a great job. Unfortunately the cost is up there. HTH ken

I do not own a camper yet , but I do alot of edge of season camping (cold) in the tent trailer. I have never really understood the need for 2- 20# bottles on some of these trailers / RV's I would think a full 20#er would last with your described usage at least 12 days. That being said I always...

How does the internal bead lock work on the rims Im not exactly sure , somehow the edge/lip of the wheel is designed in such a way that it holds the bead better. Im thinking its a far cry to a traditional beadlock but hoping better than a standard wheel. I will find out when I go down to 3-4...

Clearly, you struck a nerve with this topic. That's good! I'm also a LC guy. Have an '07 Tundra for my camper and no complaints- does everything I ask of it. Truth be told, sometimes I envy the 3/4 ton guys. The extra carrying capacity would be nice. Though, if I could import a diesel Hilux I...

Great looking truck Ken. What brand are those wheels? Ahh good question.. Those are 17" forged alloy wheels with an internal bead lock made just for the Power Wagon. On the actual manufacturer Im not sure. ken

You have to park it somewhere when you're not out there. Now about those running boards... :D Good eye ! ya those will have to go I dont think they would last very long, I will fab up some rock sliders out of rectangle and round tube. ken

Nice truck Ken. Congrats. I do not know enough about trucks to know why or why not IFS is good nor bad? I am excited to see the camper on there as well. -mike Some quick info: Solid Front Axel (sfa) is stronger has less moving parts and will give you more travel and clearance while...

Congrats Ken. The PW is one awesome machine. Now lets see some pics. B) marc Well all I have is this lame driveway shot:

Congrats Ken, For those of us ignorant of the Dodge line (me), what specifically makes it a "power wagon". Tell us all about it You and me both... Here is some reading : http://www.dodgeboy.net/news/powerwagon/index.htm Basically its a true purpose built "off road" full size. Oh and...

BTW Im a new owner of a Power Wagon. Next , camper........ Thanks again! ken

Ken, Just curious, why did you not look at a toyota? Seemed as if you were happy with the Landcruiser? -mike Good question; Im extremely partial to the Toyota mark , 1st the Tundra is IFS and there is no locker option that im aware of. It was going to cost a lot more to modify the Tundra...

Although we have a 2006 F250 FX4 CC 5.4L (gasoline) short bed that has worked well, I would have gotten one of these if I could have found one cheap enough: Power Wagon BTW, all three full sized domestic trucks are now Consumer Reports 'Recommended' which speaks volumes for the overall quality...

Wow! great information guys!!!! I will kill part of the debate I can NOT go long bed for the type of country I like to go into. Im going to be lucky if the full size alone will fit never mind the camper. Second I will not purchase a 2wd truck. I know short bed will be a compromise in the "work"...

I have been looking for used Hawk for a while, if anybody wants to sell one, I have a 2005 chev. 4 door w/ short bed. If any avail. please let me know. Thanks. JMHO , but it might help if you put your location. HTH ken

I'm going to assume that you are going to buy new. I would recommend a gasoline powered 3/4 ton or better. If you buy a 1/2 ton you will be going straight to suspension mods. Dodge, Ford and Chevy all make good trucks. Since you will be spending a lot of time driving from one scenic wonder to...
