I've dropped my asking price for this 2007 ATC Bobcat to $7200.

I forgot to mention that I have had the camper for 4 years. It was previously on my Toyota Tacoma. Before that, the previous owner had it mounted to a Chevy Silverado. I can't remember, if the camper needed a platform, but if your bed rails are higher than 19 inches from the cargo floor -...

2007 ATC Bobcat shell model that has both the OEM Atwood propane heater and stove with some DIY build outs to include: * 3 speed Fantastic fan roof vent, which is on the ceiling light circuit * 175 watt solar panel to charge a 100 ah SOK LiFePO4 battery * Renogy 30 amp dual input DC-DC...

"I'm not sure if it matters but I'm also upgrading to a SOK 208Ah lithium battery with a Victron MPPT controller (Victron Energy SmartSolar MPPT 100V 30 amp 12/24-Volt Solar Charge Controller (Bluetooth)) that will replace the existing Zamp PWM controller" If you plan on installing a 208Ah...

If you are doing all this - I recommend adding a DC to DC charger near the auxiliary battery in the camper instead of an ACR for two reasons. First, the DC to DC charger will take the incoming voltage and bump it up a bit to the proper charging profile needed by which ever type of battery is...

To provide some 120 volt AC capability, I simply added a Bluetti EB70S power station to my shell unit and called it good. It has the added benefit of providing USB and USB C ports for recharging those devices that need it. The built in AC inverter is limited to 800 watts.

With regards to the air conditioner, I'd much rather have a small window unit, mounted to the back wall of the camper. A typical 5,000 BTU unit draws 450 watts, weighs in at about 35 lbs, is about 16 inches wide, 12 inches high and 15 inches deep. I'll assume that you'll want to be tethered to...

Both will get the job done - with the Boxio being half the price of a Trelino EVO M. The Trelino looks to have a more comfortable seat design. It is a one piece design covers the side walls. I like it. In addition to being able to use a plug, the Trelino urine container has a silicone one...

Prior to purchasing a Trelino EVO M separating toilet, I used a Reliant style lid for 5 gallon paint bucket and pine pellet litter in the lined bag. The Trelino is pricey, about $400, when on sale - but I like the urine separator. The solid waste compartment at the rear of the toilet is...

The breaker for my solar panel is for when I disconnect the house battery for storage. It lets me isolate the solar panels BEFORE switching off the house battery. I haven't used this feature remove the solar panel from the equation when driving down the road for the purpose of bumping up the...

That is a nice chassis mount. The upward L with a backing plate is nice touch - which should eliminate any tendency to wiggle.

That's nice looking rig. :) I'm surprised that the YOHO is short enough to fit entirely in the 6 foot cargo bed. This model would be a perfect fit for my 1st Gen Tundra should I ever step up to a hard side.

When you get one of the marine glands you'll notice a ring of plastic teeth that tighten up around the wire when the outer nut is screwed down.

if you are coming in from the side of the cargo bed, a "marine cable gland" works well. My duplex #6 gauge wiring was jacketed and the 3/4" size gland was a good fit. The gland is made of plastic, so it has the advantage of being a good insulator...

I have a 1st Gen Tundra Access Cab with a 1575 lb payload rating. In my opinion, payload capacity is not a Toyota strong point. I say this because both Chevy and Ford offer a special order heavy duty payload package on their full sized half ton trucks. Toyota does not. With that said, I've...

An ingenious little rig in that video.

I just want to second this recommendation. Near the positive terminal of the camper battery, either a Blue Sea or Cooper Bussman thermal circuit breaker is a nice option. It allows you to shut down the power to everything in the camper to either store it over the winter or do work on other...

For the DC - DC charge controller, if the wire run between the Redarc and the truck battery is 12 feet, be sure to double it to 24 feet to account for the length of both the positive and negative wires. If the Redarc charger is rated at 25 amps, figure in 30 amps when sizing the wire, which is...

Trailer Vision has a mounting bracket that can be secured to the cargo bed wall of the truck...

That's a great youtube channel. My guess is if someone opts for the lower optioned F150 XL FX4, there is less tech to replace down the road.

An interesting thread, no pun intended. To those that will be upgrading an existing thermal pack, are you using a Thinsulate as your middle layer? https://www.seattlefabrics.com/60-3Mreg-Thinsulate-UDS-Insulation-675-linear-yard_p_152.html

(Aside from its $200 price when marked down), just like Rubber legs stated, the main reason I went with the smaller charge controller was to minimize the strain on my 18 year old, 130 amp alternator in the Texas heat. The 30 amp Renogy dual input charge controller has been in continuous use for...

No one should be that incompetent. When I take my older 05 Tundra in for service at an independent shop, the key gets a tag with my name and license plate number written on it. Also, the VIN is recorded on the work order.

My 2005 Tundra Access Cab has a GVWR of 6300lbs. - With the camper loaded, plus some gear, a full tank of gas and just me, my rig came in at 6,000 lbs. at a local CAT scale.

My suggestion is before adding a new spring pack, install a pair of the medium density SumoSprings to the truck. I have a pair of Firestone Ride Rites with Daystar cradles installed on my 2005 Tundra. It should be noted that when the camper is loaded thy require me to add around 7 to 8 PSI...
