84 Fleet - 09 Tacoma - Project

Still putting that camper to great use all winter long. A nice video from my work team in April. The Four wheel camper is the perfect base camp.

Over a beautiful summer weekend in June we took the Tacoma and Four Wheel Camper up the Poudre Canyon for some family camping time. With a late start on Saturday it took us a few attempts to find a suitable campsite but in the end, we were fortunate to get the last spot for the night at the Kelly Flats Campground. A beautiful little meadow right along the Poudre River. If you have ever been camping up the Poudre let me know if you know of some other good options are for next time!

Nice! Some great spots outside of Ward that I always have luck finding a spot..

Tim.. any issues with your lifters after some time? Someone was asking if they pinch the fabric, which they do, but not sure its an issue?

Trying to figure out how to store with top up.. but kind of want my garage back..

No I have not developed any issues with it yet. May have a couple of creases which I suppose over many many years could become problematic. But ~1 year in and everything is working nicely. I keep mine stored top down outside FYI.

I installed a water system in the camper. Just completely mirrored the original set up:

gravity fill tank
hand pump
simple grey water drain to the side next to propane.

Everything went really smoothly for me. really happy with how it all came out. As always I made a video about it. Let me know if you have any questions and huge thanks to Poky for giving me his old water tank.

Hey Tim,

Congratulations on getting your water system in, and another instructive video, good job.

I liked your choice of chain to hold the water tank in place, makes for a snug fit.

Lastly, you’re welcome, happy to find a good home for the tank.

Keep up the good work, thanks for sharing!

Just got back from an absolutely amazing trip!

A road trip from Boulder, Colorado to Pray, Mountain. Part 1 Through Sinks Canyon Wyoming, Lander Wyoming, Jackson, and Jackson Hole. The Four Wheel Camper and Toyota Tacoma is the perfect combo for such a trip. Plus having my brother with his BMW F650GS as the lead vehicle is certainly fun as well.

Two two parks I stayed at.

I hope you enjoy the video I made about the trip. More videos are in the works. Best - Tim

Nice video Tim, looking forward to seeing the rest of the trip. I like the narration breaks.

After our big trip to Montana we had not been in the camper for a few weeks. But finally got out again last week as I was in Vail filming a wedding so we just stayed one night in the camper. The Aspens were prime last weekend. I made a video of the day

Plus it is time to shop for a new truck. My wife and I are expecting in January so I need a Tacoma or Tundra that can fit a car seat! Here goes nothing!!

Hay you two, congrats on your pregnancy that’s great.
The bed was cool also, so was the snowbug.

Thanks Russ! We are looking forward to this step too!

The snowbus is next level!!! Maybe we should upgrade to that next

Tim, Congrads to the upcoming addition to your family! Have you figured out where the crib will go in the camper?

 

[Living The Dream]

Thanks shellback. We have to figure that out still. Need to figure out how a car seat will go in the tacoma (it won't) then we will sort out the crib. Can probably just rest of the counter directly next to the bed Will but in some sort of mounting system just in case but shouldn't be a major hassle.

I am still putting in the work on the camper getting it from 80% to 100% complete. Put together a nice little cabinet in the galley. Really quite happy with how it came out.

Hi Tim
Hay good job there, like the thought that you can retrieve items either inside or out.
