I would love to pick that thing up for my 86 F150! My girlfriend thinks im addicted to campers. I'm always looking...

http://sandiego.craigslist.org/rvs/433938087.html He wants a little much I think, the camper is in awesome condition. The truck looks flawless but I hate stick on diesel trucks!

Thanks for the link, when out and bought some today from Walmart. About $20.

Unfortunately I dont have the manual. The fridge may very well be older than me. The rig is a 78, but at some point it had been rebuilt so I'm not sure how old it is. I'm gonna look around the house for some boards for him to take with him to level the truck out. Thanks for the experience guys!

As the title entails, how level does the truck need to be to operate the Fridge. The local RV is saying as level as possible, there is a level bubble in the fridge as well as pitch and roll in the truck cab. My grandfather is getting ready to do the maiden voyage on the rig to Oklahoma so I...

My problem is if I run my batteries down on my truck, I'm pretty screwed, the starter on my truck is 24 volts, and it needs all the cranking amps it can pull from my 2 1000cca batteries as it can get. It spins my engine at least 300rpms as it spins. I've run them down before, and jumping the...

I'm going with the DLS-30 with the "smart" charger add-on.

One other side note: I think it would be kinda cool if w/in this site there could be an area that listed a set of systems/types of add-ons or equipment that are in consensus agreement by the members of the site to be the best setup running for most applications. For example, providing...

Thanks for all the info guys, below is what I have come up with after reading all the stuff! I have a old style isolator, continious duty, marine grade form West Marine sitting in my garage, I think I'll go with that. So it has for posts, do the two small posts matter? As in, can ground/power...

Ben, Thanks for the info! You have a plethory of knowledge and are always willing to help! On the seperator, what brand do you prefer? I might be making a trip up your way to check out Northern Californa. I would love to put in new top latches. Someone pushed the front up on mine and ripped...

I'm considering going to amsoil. They have a new synthetic as well as an oil filter that is supposedly good for 25,000 miles in normal duty and 15,000 in severe duty. They have it for everything from sport compacts to diesels. On the other hand, my diesel mechanic reccomends synthetic with...

My grandfather is getting ready to head out on a trip from San Diego, CA to Oklahoma City, OK. He will be camping along the way but before he goes I need to style out the camper. The most important thing on my list is a convertor with battery charger capability. I looked at the IOTA that comes...

That is pretty hard core, not only do you have to think about gas mileage and handling, but also planning ahead for certain things such as underground parking structures and available parking spaces. Granted these are small lower profile rigs, but they still add some hieght. I have a 4x4 tahoe...

Jeez, just posted and already got the answer. Perfect. Thanks again Ben. Also, are the furnaces rebuildable or is new a better route, If I end up keeping it, I want to be safe. As of right now, I have no need for it, but you never know...

Thanks for the info Ben. I have the standard rack on there right now. I'll probably take off the front pole and run the tracks in front of the rear rack. It a nice looking rack for fire wood. Same question as Erod though, I saw the screws you are talking about though tonight. Mike

As for getting the old one off, I used the Reico Titan Camper jacks, an easy pedal, and a lot of eyes. Ended up doing it in my buddies nice, flat driveway. Gave it to my other buddy to use to live in so he can save up money and not have rent since his fiance is due in a few months. We will still...

Some may have rembered I was the one trying to get that monster 70's era camper of my rig so that I could put a new ATC camper on when I get it ordered. Well as I was getting ready to cut a check (sorry Ben) and my boss called and asked if I wanted his old FWC Keystone. $900 later, I have a new...

Looking good.

well when i order my camper, I could send you the plates to see if they are safe to attach to the camper. If not, I can always go with your set instead.

My buddy has a pair on his 1700+ lb skamper, they work for him just fine. He has the plates permanently mounted to his camper and removes the two bolts that hold the plate to the jack. These are not cable jacks, they are worm gear. When I get back from Hawaii tommorow I'll take pictures of how...

I'm 5'9" and my head doesn't even get close to hitting the cabover part when I stand next to the truck. I figure I'm pushing close to 9ft. I can stand straight up in the camper and put my hand up and lay my palm flat. It is a big sucker, that is why I want to keep it for my plot in Baja.

Here is why: It is a monster, camper weighs 2200lbs+.

I am getting ready to get my old camper off so I can take my truck to the shop. After that I'll take my old camper and send her on her way to Mexico! I am purchasing the Rieco tripod jacks, can these be used with an ATC instead of the permanent corner jacks? Here is a link to the jacks...

NOw if I went with a ice box first, you could retrofit a refer in there later correct? It is 3 way right, propane, 12v, 110v? As far as the electric pump, at $80 I don't really have much to lose. I tried searching for the answer but couldn't find it,what is the weight capacity of the roof? I...

First off I want to give a big hand to Ben over at ATC. He, by far, was the most willing and helpful when it came to my questions out fo any other manufacturer. He does a superb job! Now on to my questions, I am looking at just going to the ice box, everywhere I go I can get ice, and plan on...
