Something New Is Afoot

That's a nice looking set of springs.Will you add air bags,possibly?
What's the time line for the new camper?

Some robust spring packs, should not need air bags.

Dobinson has three spring packs available for the Ranger. I went with the heaviest so there would be no need for airbags.

Julie and I had two things to drop off at All Terrain Campers this morning. Actually - how could I forget - three things; Julie had fresh baked chocolate chip cookies for Marty. We noted progress on our new camper.

Maybe the cookies help.

Have you decided on a heating solution for the new rig? The framing left of the door appears different from my ATC. A new rig is a great opportunity.

Good eye for detail! Yes, I have and I'll be adding that information as the build/construction process evolves.

We got the call from ATC that Marty and the guys were ready to deliver the camper shell for Julie’s birthday. What a grand present (having it completed) for the Lady’s birthday! She was more than thrilled. We arrived at the shop mid-morning.

The camper was up on jacks and Chad was finishing up two items – the door latch and the furnace exhaust vent.

We put together items we bought from ATC for the interior build – water tank, plumbing items, CO detector, an assortment of fasteners, drawer hangers, propane lines, and such.

As the crew was readying for loading it on the new Ranger, they added slats across the camper bottom to level it to the top of the bedsides as the truck bed is 3/8” deeper at the rear.

It was then time to load the camper.

It fit like a well-crafted glove.

It was time for photos. Matt, Chad, Julie, Brad. We will get a nice photo with Marty in the future. He was called away for some office work.

We were back home in the pines in the late afternoon.

Ever since we’d made the decision on a new truck and then, also, a new camper, Julie’s been anxious about whether it would fit in the garage. No amount of reassurance would calm her nerves. She had to see it for herself. She climbed up on a ladder to watch the top as I slowly pulled the truck into its place in the garage.

Happy birthday Julie!

The adventure continues. Please check back for updates.
