2018 tour dates set. First lottery tomorrow. https://home.nps.gov/deva/planyourvisit/tours.htm Good luck! Bill

It could be the trailer brake adapter pigtail, mine (no stock rear view camera) had one in the glove box. ​Bill

Nice camper and trip report. Wish you many more days/nights camping. That campground in the Redwoods is awesome. Bill

Cool idea. What are those tires? Custom sized wheels? Bill

Monument Valley, Painted Desert, Goosenecks of the San Juan, Mesa Verde, Canyon deChelly..

I have a 2015 double cab long bed SR5 Tundra 4x4 (GVRW 7200 lbs) with a shell Grandby and a couple of mods. With minimal camping equipment, a couple of passengers, and a little extra gas and water I go over 8100 lbs often. I knew where this was going so I sold my P tires with 50 miles on them...

Thanks for sharing. Bill98388

Grandby with 40 lb struts on Tundra double cab and 70 years young. Yes I love it, it fits my needs, and I would buy another. Bill

A picture might help us figure out how to help. Bill

Bolt-on security bar? Attachment points for handholds or a rack to carry something outside, bike rack? ;-) Bill

Lexie: I enjoyed your blog posts. Keep it up and best wishes for your "mama" travels. Bill (and Spouse Linda and our little camper-kids, now thirty-somethings, Beth and Megan)

I found this on Seattle Craigslist: https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/ctd/d/toyota-hiace-diesel-camper/6182834574.html It lists a name and web site of an importer (No affiliation to me). They might share information about importing. Bill

I've been retired 3 years, I feel like I am just getting to understand it. I try to do the things that must get done (pay bills, shop, change the oil in the truck, etc.) first then when I want to do something I have time and can do it. Yes, do something regular, schedule some things then enjoy...

I am reminded that I had a co/propane alarm in the middle of the night for no apparent reason. I figured out after some (sleepless) time that the battery voltage was low, when charged, no alarm. Bill

On ebay right now for 159.60 including shipping Bill

Sunday March 12 at about 1025am, south bound on Steilacoom-Dupont Road in Washington, older FWC (square rear door) on white Dodge 4x4 single cab. Are you a member here? Bill

I had internal struts from the factory but I changed to external 40 lb struts to my Grandby using parts previously discussed at WTW. I would be careful with more pounds of lift than that, you might reach (or go past) the strength of the attachment points. Also, I believe that someone noted the...

If you post a picture one of our Ham operators will probably be able to identify the plug and give you a lead on where to purchase the extension. Bill

Good looking rig. Happy Camping! Bill

I use messages similar to Bill (above): 1 starting from here (I am up and moving, all OK) 2 enroute all OK (I use this as free breadcrumbs and post travels to create picture location log and time line) 3 stopping for night here (end of day not moving any more) I also have a connected tablet...

Josh: Lots of views of this thread but I'll be the first to comment, ummm. I don't think that this combination will be safe on the road. Check your vehicle gross weight limit, subtract what the truck weighs, subtract the weight of camping equipment, water fuel, and passengers, then subtract...

If your FWC of choice is a Grandby shell get the rollover in the front, that frees interior floor space. I took out the storage cabinets under the rollover, freeing the floor space, and store stuff in easily moved Action Packers as necessary. Bill

I use a batt tender because my Grandby is a shell model and has no built-in charger. Bill

As Jim does, I have a battery tender on a timer. It charges 3 hours per day. I also run a computer fan to circulate air inside the camper. That plus the draw of the CO alarm seems to average out. I guess you could think of this as the same as solar...on a few hours and off overnight. Works...

I had tried a similar one like the Ebay tsunami model on a travel trailer battery set-up, I didn't like it. The one I had took fuses are larger in diameter and length than the glass tube automotive type common in cars prior to 1981 and they were more expensive too (type AGU I believe). I like...
