Well Better late than never as they say. Don't miss the cabinet at all. As mentioned earlier in this thread, it makes it possible to store the cushions for the bed between the couch and the window. Perfect fit. Keeps the camper much cooler in the summer as well. Just be careful to not rip...

Hey Sotter Congrads on the new Camper! Sorry I didn't reply to your post in November. Made a rather good but unanticipated move to Park City and have been off list for a while. Looks like you got a sweet little rig. I'm adding a tardy reply to your questions in the original thread. Feel...

I drive a 05 tundra 4x4. Had a new off the lot 95 tacoma 4x4 before that. Most stuff I can do in 2wd. 4x4 has saved my butt more than once. 4wd low is handy for rough southern utah roads. Good on sand too. I went past Hans Flat ranger station partway to Cleopatra's Chair this weekend...

I've had a bit of time to compile and digest all this good info and I like the idea of cooking outside when the weather and bugs allow. What have folks had the best luck with in terms of storage and use? - Coleman style propane stove (recommended type?) - small BBQ grill - fire pit with grate...

It isn't so much the "job", pods...it's that I'm not all that keen on drilling holes in this frame. (definitely a weak link on the truck) I saw that Colorado guy had Timbrens on his rig before the accident...does anyone else have any experience with these? I'm interested because there's no...

Great article Thanks for posting it Stan. I agree with Jack about being out alone shooting. And about the first gen Tundras being perfect for fourwheel/allterrain campers. Love my '05. S

I've heard folks using Seamgrip. Back the tear/hole with something like duct tape and apply. There are instructions included with the Seamgrip IIRC. And use outside. Nasty braincell killer. Kenyon also makes adhesive backed rip stop nylon for patching tents. Never tried it. Most people I...

it isnt. roof mount is best. roof mount is higher and most importantly, centered over "ground" That's what I meant.:mad: I'd take a good, well bonded fender mount over a mag mount on the roof. My Kenwood 270 with a fender mount kills the kenwood 71a with a mag on the roof on 2 meters. Glad...

Oh, and good call on the Mobile. I want thru the same thing you are now when I started. Can't beat a good mobile install. More power, better antenna and no hassles. The hand held in the car was a money pit. Glad you didn't get too far along that road. For the price of a cheap amp, you...

Scott I've found that a solid mount vastly inproves antenna performance over a magmount. Poke a hole in the roof or get a solid fender mount (use star washers for a good ground) and you'll be amazed. I see 3-4 bars improvement minmum over a mag mount. I also use the Larsen 150. Does bend a...

This is what we use outside the campgrounds. Seats 4 trim adults. Covers are padded. 3/16" or so and removable. And packs crazy small. Works great under the awning of our All Terrain CampersOcelot. Stephen

Great looking new rig OS. Congrats! I to enjoy the narrow camper on a Tundra with an fwc Ranger..Wish I had that extra floor space though, nice. is sleeping side to side really an option for you?? Mine measures something like 5'6" side to side..no way for me at 6'1".. Cheers! thanks for the...

Same place you have yours. I nixed the cabinet over the window as the couch back in the Ocelot is 5"+ closer to the window. Didn't want any headaches. The stock cushions fit perfectly. The fire extinguisher probably shoud get moved. The clamp that holds it to the wall bracket pokes the pad...

Impressions We are totaly thrilled with the camper. Going narrow was a great decision for us. I hardly see it in the side mirrors. Air bags are essential. I think shocks are next as there is still some rock and roll in the ride. I can't say enough good things about Marty and the Guys...

Here are a few details of the d-rings under the couch. And some more interior shots. S

Got the awning. Make us real popular last weekend when it was 90 drgrees after our ride. We have a alumimnum table and bench set. Collapses to the size of a violin case. Small, but fit the four of us with room to space under the awning. The awning is similar to eezi-awn as it has a...

I had fabbed up some brackets to attach a net to the ceiling of the camper shell. So I got to thinking of how to keep things from rolling around in the Ocelot. Got the parts from Lowes. Don't ask how many places I had to go to to find what I needed. Tabbed d-rings and thin aluminum t nuts...

School crates are the way to go. One fits perfectly under the sink. The other white trays I found at Target. I think my lower cabinet is unique. If the floor pack for the 1st gen tundras wasn't so shallow, there'd be HUGE storage in there. Still, I got three 13x13" and two 13x6" in there...

Delivery. I watched as Marty drilled "The part where we suggest most owners don't look". Cabelas also makes the guys happy. Might make delivery go more smoothly. I'm just sayin'. And some interior shots. S

More pix! Ok. Sorry for the delay. Here are some from the Swell.

More pics next week. Lots to get ready/figure out before I leave town tomorrow. Oil change, new battery and a few odds and ends today. Some tweaks and adds tomorrow morning. Then head South. WooHooHoo S

Thanks Everyone! KC: You and I should do something to facilitate that.:D We have alot of short trips planned for this year. Seems we all like the same places.:thumb: Scott: This one. Norcold makes a similar model. Dave used it in the post I mentioned in my other thread. I'd call...

More Also, I'm first with the new uphostery. Really nice stuff. A few pics of the larger refer as well. Crowds the door 1/2", maybe 3/4". Not a problem at all for us. Ask Marty about how tight the fit was. And the Galley cabinet has Tons of storage space. The bottom one is 12" deep...

Drove to Reno and picked up my Ocelot Tuesday. Here are a few Quick shots. Heading out to the San Rafael Swell Friday for a shakedown trip. More pix next week. The floor space is huge! I'm 5'9' and can stretch my legs out as far as I can sitting on the couch and can't come close to the...

I miss New Mexico Did some work in Roswell and Hondo when I lived in Taos. The Capitans are a pretty range. Love the drive from Vaughn to Roswell. 100 miles of road, fence and nothing else. Thanks for the pics S
