More conversions in Cambodia. These guys drove a long way.

couple more as I can only seem to do 2 pics per post.

More from the beach

Saw this Merc conversion on the Otres Beach road in Sihanoukville, Cambodia where I am 'wintering'. Had to leave my FWC at home but not these guys.

Well, the Tenkara rods were on sale on Black Friday and I bought them and had them shipped to me at the place I was parking lot camping in Fort Lauderdale. Have not used them yet. Not fishing here on Pine Island even tho it's a kayak fishing place. But very shallow with oyster beds so no...

I have been living in my Grandby shell with solar, flip couch, 2 batteries and an Engel fridge and 20 gallon propane tank with camping stove since September. Did the National Forests on the way down to South Florida from Illinois and a few other free county FL campgrounds. i always look for CGs...

I have the Duckworks pressure shower, 2 Gal. Have not used it yet but it is well made and looks nice ;o) And doesn't take up much room or weigh much. Dusty In Osceola NF, Ocean Pond CG. Nice place, Florida Trail, empty roads for biking. 60 miles to Jacksonville beaches.

I called both concessionaires who operate CGs in Ocala Forest and both were ordered this AM to shut down their 5 combined campgrounds in the forest. Oh, well, drive south some more. I went to Blue Cypress Lake Park which I found at freecampsites.net. It's amazing. Old Florida Paradise in the...

Further south in Georgia. I just hiked yesterday up to the Appalachian Trail from Lake Winfield Scott Campground in the Chattahoochee National Forest. Very cold overnight (low 40s) and with all the tall trees never warmed up til noonish. The Appalachian Trail starts in Georgia. There are a few...

I remembered some screens mentioned years ago at RV.net and had a look. Skreenz.com seems to be out of business. They were super expensive anyway, IIRC. DIY with mossie netting seems a decent, simple alternative. Here is one idea from the Class B forum over there...

Appreciate the report and the photos. I think Turner is the biggest landholder in the world. Well, not as big as US Govt who owns about half our country and mis manages it as one would expect Big Government to do. The Spectator has a nice article about this today, entitled "An Enviromentalist...

This guy 'Sleepy' at rv.net has a detailed thread on his deflector he put on his setup (he's got a Lance). here-- http://www.rv.net/forum/index.cfm/fuseaction/thread/tid/17575645.cfm A post from Sleepy on his thread (only $20 spent): As you apparently recognize the airfoil does more than...

Thanks, guys. I'm anxious to get going. Learning the big F-150 with the 8' bed is really something but I'm getting it. I realized I did not really know how to use the mirrors. A google search set me right.

Ordered a shell last month with solar on top but also added a plug on the back for possible future portable panel or even a wind genny which I saw at truckcampermagazine.com.

I took me 6 years to 'come to Jesus' but here I am. I hung around here a bit 6 years ago but then got distracted by living mostly in South East Asia. No more. Last month I ordered a Grandby shell from the Eagle, WI dealer. Getting solar and batteries, the couch and an awning and screen door...

Congratulations! Save a little room for me. When I figure out my retirement date, I'll be ready to order. Probably a Cougar shell, with options, on a 2008 Toyota Tundra. Anyway, Continued Good Luck to ATC...

Deadwood Gold Rush/Col. Custer I'm in Gillette, WY on a job and got interested in Deadwood. Here's a book about how George Custer led an expedition to the Black Hills that discovered gold near Deadwood. The book is in the library here. Here's a terrific website about the book...

Outside window flaps/awnings Don't forget the window flap awnings that are easily made. Here's a link to making them, with photos... http://dodgeram.org/ki4cy/camper/WinAwnings.htm

You found 6 pop up campers. Do you mean 6 different manufacturers? It seems to me the 2 models on this forum, the FWC and the ATC, are the lightest out there with the lowest profile. That's what appeals to me. Go anywhere-with a Tundra. Tomorrow afternoon at toyota.com they will list all the new...

Been lurking awhile. Great forum. I retire later this year and plan to Fulltime in the Mountain West in one of the Truck Campers discussed here. FWC or ATC. Tomorrow, 1/7/07, Toyota unwraps it's new 2007 Tundra in Detroit. Supposed to equal or exceed the big three similar size trucks in towing...
