Hey Rotti Another use for the fan. I have mine over the upper bed. I close all windows, the door and window flaps. Turn the fan on to suck out on high. This pulls the fabric side in and then release the front support and then the back support. Then turn the fan off and shut the cover over the...

Skip the opening back window. When its open its in the way and if you take it out, its a pain to put back. As for the fan, I have the standard 3 speed and it works fine for me. Hope this helps Paulie

Jay that was a Good one :D

http://youtu.be/wk6KJXeOM0k This is a pretty cool clip.

What a Great Idea for the Mother Inlaw!! :P

Nicely done Mr B. Looks well thought out. Maybe a few tweeks and time will tell. In my neck of the midwest you better paint that porch. The snow and salt are coming. Happy travels. 1tonpaulie :rolleyes:

Time to get a spray bottle with soappy water and check for leaks. Did you make sure the stove was off? If you where closer to me I have a gas sniffer that works great. Hope this helps

I have a friend riding his BRP as Barko calls it. A Honda XR650 from LA to North Carolina and back. Last night he got to Yellowstone and the park ranger told him two people got killed by grizzley bear. So he went and bought his bear spray! Paulie :unsure:

Hey Mitch Welcome. I take it you were up by the Dempseys. Good people to buy a camper from. We got our 2010 Grandby from them. Good luck with your trip. Please post pictures. Paulie

Hey Rich My name is Paul and I live here in the midwest. I started out with a 30 foot class C motorhome. It was me, the wife two kids and the pooch. We did that for 4 years. Got tired of paying car insurance 12 months and using it 4 months. Went to a Travel trailer 23 feet long. It was nice but...

I Agree with Dirty Dog. Keep your tank outside in a sealed box with venting of fresh air.

Yes Sir I Am.

Must be kept level even when not being used. Or the camper is off the truck. I took my camper off and it was not level for a week or so. The next week end I put the camper on the truck and turned the fridge to propane to chill fast. The next day I went to load the fridge, the fridge was HOT the...

X2 Agreed. Bad idea

You do not want vent free. I used one one winter in my shop. When the gas is burned it contains water, the windows sweat and it smelled bad. Then I saw black mold growing on the insulation paper. Now I use a direct vent with no more problems.

Great job Barko. Not many people would pay Big Bucks and then hand over the dog to new owners. You have a big heart for these animals. You said in your post Forest rats. Being from the midwest what are these.

In your pictures did ATC start putting the storm flaps on the inside? That's the way it looks to me.

That's a nick looking camper. I am happy to see the Engel fridge. If you use a MT35 with a two zone you can open it with the roof down and get a cold drink or some ice cream bars.. It works very slick. Just a suggestion

I live in Northern Illinois. We have Mosquitos the size of bird. We camp in Wisconsin and the UP of Michigan. Our biggest problem is raccoons. They try to open the roof vent while you sleep. I have taken snap mouse traps and put peanut butter on them and put them up by the vent. Whack and thats...

Hey Barko I really like the picture of the drz in the swimming hole. Your pictures are really great. Please keep them coming. Paulie

We had a awning with a screen room on a Coleman Popup. What a pain in the Azz to setup. And if it was raining to reset up at home. I went to instant Gazebo up in a snap. And out here in the midwest we have BIG BUGS!

If you want help from a dog or a shedding cat. Find a pet groomer in your area. Call and ask if they use anti shedding when bathing. Our lab and cat shed all the time. Since the groomer found this anti shed additive we have no more mess. It really works.

I got to use a friends Versa Hauler this past weekend. Nice unit but for $525.00 plus freight to pricey for me. This back porch sounds great till you try one. With the BRP as Barko calls it, I would need two extra sets of hands to load and tie down. I think my trailer is worth its weight in gold. :(

I like both Cort and Craigs ideas for the back porch. I agree with Barko about moving the porch further back for better access to the camper door. I like the way Craig went through the bumper in two different locations. I think if you use just the hitch and extend it out it might be to springy...

Hey Barko I got A 2003 Honda XR650L with only 780 miles. I picked it up in New Berlin Wisconsin. I live next to Mchenry and 1/2 hr south of Lake Geneva. I have a childhood friend that farms in Walworth Wisconsin which is just east of Sharon. Let me know when your here and I'll ride the bike to...
