Great information guys. Thanks to you all...

i will try searching again. for some reason did not get much back when I tried..

So this is my first popup camper and decided it is time to winterize it since I'm done camping until early spring. I did the following: 1. On the last camping trip I opened the valved on the back of the camper to drain the water with the faucets open. 2. Got home pulled the drain plug on the...

Or get something like this: http://www.etrailer.com/RV-and-Camping/Camco/CAM59005.html I think I will this winter.

if I would have seen this before today I could have shown you my Granby...

most trucks have a weight rating for each axle. I usually weigh the front half of the truck on a truck scale then the back half. This gives a rough idea on how close to the axle rating you are. Note: if you get the truck centered right the two numbers you get should add up to your total.. I...

Congrats on the first trip and you stayed dry! that is the best part of a camper.. as to leveling. I just sleep on the bed with my head in whatever direction is the high side..

great pics! makes me want to get out again soon...

I think you have the suspension covered. Maybe make sure tires and brakes are in great shape also. also when looking for a replacement rig there is nothing wrong with a good used 3/4 or 1 ton.

Just had them do the recall on my Grandby today.. was completely happy with the job they did and they also swapped out the 20lb rear external struts for 30lb ones. made a nice difference in raising the back now.. there is no way on my Lance camper I used to have would they swap anything after...

great write-up.. and cool pics of the wildlife!

that looks like a great time.. Now where is this lake? ;-)

I'm not offended in the least, the above were only my opinions and how the manufacturer sets the GVWR for vehicles. In general I do not trust dealerships or anyone who is trying to sell me something. Sales people seem to always want to sell you what they have, not what you want/need. always...

The certified GVWR(door sticker or glove box sticker) by the manufacture for a vehicle cannot be changed by the addition of air bags, springs, tires or anything else for that matter by the vehicle owner or the dealerships. Any service manager that tells you otherwise is uninformed or is being...

Brownscamp area has alot of easier stuff. most everything is connected by gravel roads. The trails are clearly marked for difficultly. so lockers are not required. in fact my flatfender is open front and back which makes it more challenging. below is a clip of me there a few years ago..

In my opinion I would find out the loaded weight of the camper and with all the stuff you will have in it, then find a truck that is rated for that load. Being within your vehicles capacity brings peace of mind and much better vehicle handling.

DesertDave my camper looks l just like yours. when I received the notice I went out and sure enough it needs to be fixed.. glad FWC is on top of this...

just outside of Portland about halfway to the beach Browns camp OHV park is pretty nice for mild to fairly difficult. for bikes, quads and Jeeps. an example: If your around on the weekend I could meet you there and play.. There is a campground at the park. which is decent also "Brownscamp"...

those rules are a bit restrictive.... The no berry picking was a surprise.

Will work on the larger pics. seems google+ makes them a bit small. I will need to try the other two lakes it is a nice area....

So last Saturday after working, I decided to do a a last minute camping trip to Olallie lake. I had never been there before and the road was gravel and dirt going there. the campground was full so just found a spot at the lake and set up camp. time to check out the lake and see how the...

we mostly caught trout as the lake was stocked a few days before we got there. I will need to go back and fish for the kokanee they do taste much better... I will also be staying at the pacific-corp campground next time as it is a bit more remote and site #1 is very nice...

For our third trip we went to Wallowa Lake which is in Eastern Oregon. I had never been there and knew it was very commercialized, but heard that there was some good fishing. Also this will be a good chance to check fuel usage and see how long the batteries would last without a recharge. And...

How does it do in low range in the sand? unless your looking for more performance anyways... the torque multiplication does wonders and nothing wrong being in 4th gear low range for extended periods of time. you might like the throttle response low range gives you also..

good idea.! have to look at that. on my "normal" truck I use, that bar is actually below the bottom edge of the door frame.
