I just spend 5 weeks camping in BC, Yukon, NW Territories. Lots of bear signage to be careful. Sometimes bear scat next morning around my camper. I didn't do anything special and had no problems. I sure had a big can of bear spray though, especially during my nightly "walk".

Saw this in the Yukon last week. I got the story from a gov truck that pulled up to check it out just as I was about to leave. Couple rolled their truck, no one injured, it was about a month ago. My truck in the background.

I'll check the condenser. I have two fans. Recently retired and I leave for Alaska tomorrow so my ambient temperatures will cool.

I have a 2012 Dometic 65. I've never used it in this kind of heat, consistent 100+ degree days. Freezer works well with temps in the 0 to 10* range but I can't get the main part of the fridge below 50*. Batteries operating at 90% or greater. I know from 100* to 50* is 50* of cooling, but its...

Where is this? I live at the base of the Sierra Nevada, in Bishop, and it has been quite a winter!

Wow, this is great! I was just in Moab for the first time a few weeks ago. Was with my brother who has a Jeep Rubicon so we were on some technical stuff. But I had my eyes on returning with my 2005 Tundra/Fleet to do the White Rim. It doesn't look like you have any lift, and neither do I...

I live in Bishop. I go to Eastern Sierra Propane. Always friendly and helpful, and they know what they are doing.

I guess if there is no interest these will make their way to the Bishop dump. Hate to do it but I have no need for them and can't sell them.

Still available. Will reduce price to $225. I was holding these for someone on the forum, but they backed out.

these are still available. I'm in Bishop but will be in Carson, NV June 8, and they could be available in Redlands, CA, mid-July.

They wouldn't work on my 2012 Fleet last year, too new for them.

I will be in Carson late pm June 9 if that's not too late. If that works, lets take off line, send me a PM

I ordered a new Tacoma, 6' bed, and picked up the brackets and mat in advance since I was at FWC for another reason. I have since decided to keep my 2005 Tundra, so need to sell these. These are new, never installed. Price with tax was $433. Sell for $300. This stuff is really heavy, so...

Unfortunately I'm one of the few people I've heard about that has actually had damage to their camper. So I've gone through the claim process. Last Jan I was in the curvy section going down to Panamint Springs in Death Valley. A car carrier cut a curve and ran into me totaling my truck and...

I've got a 2005 double cab Tundra, 4x4, with the small V8. it is comfortable, reliable and the V8 is so nice. However, it is big (for me) and the turning radius is terrible. I live in Bishop, am retiring in a few weeks, and would like something smaller to explore all the trails available to me...

thanks, I'll take a look

thanks, good info/advice

I recently had repair work on my camper that required FWC to remove and replace the driver side siding. To do this FWC had to remove the shore power plug. When I got the camper back plugging in the shore power kept popping the gfi. To diagnose I plugged in just the power cord to the gfi and...

was at FWC Woodland on Monday, I was picking up my camper that had been repaired. I saw this install and really liked it. I had not looked or read about solar installs for years and was surprised that they have gone to all flexible panels. I just remember the nightmare I had with the first...

Great trip report. I live in Bishop and like reading reports about Owens Valley and Eastern Sierra. There is so much to see and do I always learn something new from the exploration of others.

I currently have a first gen Tundra with a Fleet. The bed is wide enough that I have room for a 4" PVC gray water pipe along the inside of bed. I'm looking to get a new Tacoma. Is there room on the side or any creative way to have a gray water pipe on a Tacoma/Fleet. I would sure miss it if...

I’m looking at getting a new Tacoma and wonder if it’s worth waiting to see what the next gen will be, it could possibly be the 2023 model year which is not much more than a year from now. I’ve read that it will be built on a new frame platform like the new Tundra and will replace the rear...

nice! this is the first I've seem mention of using Trex, an excellent solution. I assume you just used wood screws into the stringers?

interesting. do you have a link to the material and any pictures of how you attached? It sounds like you added to the bottom of the camper, you did not build a frame in the truck bed, which I'd like to avoid.

that sounds perfect, thanks
