After reading this a few days ago, I went out and took a look at mine....1970 10' NCO. No valves....anywhere....except the release valve at the jack...... I've always had a little issue with the camper coming down uneven, depending on the slope of the ground where I'm releasing it. I've...

I'm certainly not an expert at this stuff, but my assumption has been that the valves in the hydraulic system are intended to make the top rise evenly. If the problem is that the top doesn't come down evenly, then it might be something else. From the troubleshooting info in the 1969 manual...

On an older camper that may have had several previous owners, it's a little risky to assume anything about the wiring. I'd want to check to see where each or the circuits on your four pin connector go before I plugged anything in. In particular, if there is a connection for recharging the...

The extended cab is nice. They didn't have that when I bought my 2003 - but I wish they had. I'm not all that keen on plastic bed liners, there is a good chance that they will just trap water underneath if your drains get plugged. I got a sprayed on liner on this truck and that seems to be...

There is a vented catalytic heater that would probably help a lot with condensation problems. It's also nice to have the other combustion products get sucked outside as well. The other advantage of these is that they are thermostatically controlled and will maintain a fairly steady temperature...

This may be more than you were asking for, but.... From 1987 to about 1994 I had an NCO 8 that was built in ’53 (the first year they were built) or ‘58. The id tag was too corroded to make out the date for sure. I now have a 2005 NCO 8. The heritage is obvious, but the new one is much...

You might want to check the charging characteristics of your inverter/charger before relying on it with a new battery. In my limited experience, they are not very well suited to charging and shorten battery life. Not much point in buying a great battery and then trashing it with a cheap...

I'm hemming and hawing over how I am going to secure my camper. I don't want to drill the bed of my truck for a number of reasons. It is pristine and the idea of poking holes in it does not appeal to me, I don't want to deal with the hassle of trying to line up the holes every time I want to put...

Hi Tris, thanks for the extra pictures. I love this layout, it makes the camper look positively cavernous inside.Your rear porch deck is a good idea it just needs a small awning to finish it off. How wide are the couche's/setee's are they wide enough to sleep comfortably? If I could afford a new...

Here's the outside of my '05 custom 8NCO, as requested. This is at City of Rocks National Preserve in southern Idaho. A nice place if you don't mind developed campgrounds. A while back I had a 1958 model Alaskan that I rebuilt, so I'm familiar with the real old rigs as well. Besides the slider...

I thought some of you might be interested in my custom 8'NCO. The top unit is fairly standard, but as you can see the interior of the bottom is entirely different. The settees on either side run the full length so there is plenty of leg room for sleeping. We store sleeping bags, pillows and...
