I took out the fridge and the furnace that was below it. Added some reflectix and some fiberglass insulation, put in a couple shelves on drawer slides and cover it with a net while traveling. Mt Wave 3 actually sits on the floor in that space and swing out for use. Here is a pic from the...

Using my handy dandy wire gauge chart I'd run 8 gauge wire on a 30 amp self resetting breaker to a battery separator - then to your battery then to your fuse block... See this thread for info on separators: My link

This would be your best bet: https://www.wyeth-scott.com/index.asp That is the one I would recommened as well - the cheapo stamped sheetmetal ones you find at the local stores are junk. I am not a he-man or anything and I can destroy the cheap ones with regular arm power. The problem is, by...

By the way....these days I only buy Warn winches. I had a Ramsey winch once that I completely wore out. I ended up breaking the internal gears. I've never broken a Warn winch. I have a 20+ year old warn winch on my Scout and it has been beat hard - still runs better than most guys...

I 'played' in my camper last night... Vacuumed it out, cleaned it up a touch - filled the tank with water. Pulled out the winter crap and stuffed it in the garage. It was fun! But I live in the temperate PNW - so I've been grilling and drinking cheap light beer all winter :D

I'm not a fan of the huge 30' straps - I prefer 20' straps. With the 30 footers I always ended up doubling them back over on themselves. Whatever you get - get a matched size clevis that fits your strap and your tow points.

Practice, practice, practice.... And a buddy vehicle.... That is the only way you will learn in my opinion. And I don't really mean practice getting stuck, but practicing not getting stuck. The more time you spend behind the wheel in various conditions the more you will know about your truck -...

I've just started thinking about building something similar to haul around tools and junk for a buddies ill concieved desert racing adventures. He wants me to help him in the pits.... I've never been sold on the racks that just attach at the one hitch point.

The hard propane lines in my FWC are just standard copper lines with standard fittings that you can pickup at any real hardware store or even a Home Depot type store. I just bought some a week ago at HD when I removed my fridge. You can easily find the correct fitting to go from the factory...

Too funny - I actually ordered new stickers to put ON my camper... Be careful with most sticker remover solutions - they tend to take paint off as well.

You have way more room between the cab and the camper then I did. Mine is a 1993 through....

Buy a 3/4 for sure if you plan on bringing more than 900# of gear. Air bags and new suspension wont help you. I don't think the 900 pounds was all gear. I think the actual camper weighs a lot more when outfitted with the options most people have than the listed dry weight everyone tosses...

That looks a good 2-3" taller over the door frame than my 99 Grandby.. Where they all that tall in 2004?.... Custom order for a Ford maybe?.... I think my grandby looked about like that on my dodge... I'll have to check and see for sure.

Last I checked, the difference between a the dry weight of a grandby and hawk is only 100#. The longer camper on a shortbed will cause the back to squat on the 1/2 ton but the airbags will take care of that. Dont exceed your payload on the truck and you will be fine. But, last time I checked...

That article was a real buzz kill...... :D

Mine arrived last night - checked it out on 120v and 12v - worked awesome!! Now to make it fit in the camper,the pickup and the offroader... ice cream on the road is going to be awesome!

I have a bunch but they are all my own fault for being an off roader... But I do have a few from more 'normal' camping trips. Spring break 1995: I was attedning the University of Alaska in Fairbanks and it had been a long, cold, dark winter so I decided to take a road trip south for the week...

I bought a new (to me) truck for my camper. Went with a 2002 Chevy 2500HD crew cab duramax. MUCH more truck than my 1995 standard cab dodge diesel. Easily the nicest/fastest/biggest/cleanest truck I have ever owned. Got an Edgestar 12v fridge/freezer in the mail to install. Started tearing...

What have you guys/gals done after you pulled out the factory fridge? I have 2 big holes in the outside and a mess on the inside. I figure I will build a new empty box/space/shelf for my edgestar on the inside and trim it all out so it looks nice and works. On the outside I am not quite sure...

GONE!

They can be tough to position to pour sometimes (odd shape) but if you are only filling a truck tank it should be fine. I havesome friends that use them on there ATV's and they have stuck with them.

I just bought one of these and had plans of storing them under the benches in the camper - they missed it by that much.... Probably 3/4" too tall to not get smooshed by the seats. They do seem a touch sturdier that the coleman ones - but have the same chintzy air release plug. I used my 'free...

Brand new ones -- super sale one day only deal or somehting. Plus $10 off when you go to check out (on all orders over $300). I've been price shopping them for a while and they were up to $479 a couple weeks ago. My link I bought one and my co-workes almost bought one.... BUT - if you can...

On our annual father and son trip, before we leave on Sunday everyone (little kids, oldsters, even teens) grabs a trash bag and we scour the site clean. Funny but we never have a problem getting the reservation every year. My truck club does the same thing at our annual campouts - amazing how...

I voted 'YES' - as I do like the "idea of a NCO FWC". Why not, more options, more potential customers, whetever, doesn't cost me anything. BUT, I do not like the actual product that came from that idea. The market I think they are after is going to want something WAY cheaper.
