first Rossmonster, looked nice. Would of thought he could of found a better place to take it. These are desperate times.

i understand people are looking for different things in a camper. However I do not understand spending $20,000 for an unheated canopy. Also I do not know how you stay warm sleeping in an uninsulated...

I wonder about the construction of the kimbo. I know I would not buy a riveted skiff not sure if I would want a riveted camper. Also dont understand leaving the tailgate on. The camper can be a half...

congratulations, I have had this for about a year and half now

I carry the bike vertical and put the skis in same place. The big door is great as I can just roll the bike in drawback is I am...

I bought the CTEK version of that which someone here recommended. I installed it in my truck camper. No issues, small, easy to install. I think that renogy unit will work fine. I screwed up the other...

Ford made the Pinto

looks like you used some type of hull lining material, nice finish. Photo reminded
of this.

enjoy your camper.

I use a dolly and push it into the garage to store. Like frorider was wondering what is in the garage. They make low profile wheels if door height is a problem

canada has a law that if you have a certain amount of employees and are a specific distance from a hospital you have to have an ambulance on site. So that is what Tufport specializes in. There are...

I am rolling the tufport. Have over 150 days in it since March. If you get their liner insulated model just drop the liner drill straight through use large washers for backers. I am somewhat...

I guess you have a heated detached shop. I use brophy Jack's than have a dolly I can roll it around on into my garage.

I bought the Battleborn that self heats. No issues in teen temps with the battery in an unheated slide in. Half the weight twice the usable storage. Lifted it out a couple of times installing it and...

probably a lot of these van build write ups around. My friend sent me a link to one he put together. Figured I would share. I have seen the van and he definitely put a lot in a small area....

since there seems to be a love of these here. Friend of mine. Plow was only used in his driveway.

32"x72" 28" head room at the peak of the cabover. cabover is wider than 32" but that is probably all the sleeping room you have.411613
I have the battery and storage on one side and refrigerator in...

want to thank people here for the advice. The CTEK battery charger was simple to hook up and seems to be working fine. Went with the Propex 2000 but may take it out as it is loud. Does heat things...

Was wondering if anyone knows a good source for foam. Would like to get a piece 72x40 to trim to fit my cabover for sleeping pad.

i remember this being discussed before but 386 pages is a lot to search. What were the opinions on the battlebornbatteries lifepo4 heated battery kit? Mt battery will be in an unheated compartment...

Thanks for that post was looking at the CTEK. Your link had better explanation. Was wondering why previous poster did not have isolation switch in their diagram. Apparently these units include...

thanks for that diagram. This is where I am at in my project. So the CTEK functions as an MPPT solar controller and a battery to battery ? I do not have a battery to battery on my boat. Never had an...

Thank's for the refrigerator feedback. Hopefully those expeditionportal people know more about refrigerators than their total ignorance of salmon.

any reason not to buy a Dometic CFX3 45?

I went with the molded fiberglass shell just so it would handle the weather and rough dirt roads. All I was looking for was a warm dry place for winter and Alaska summer. Similar construction as big...

did a long road trip and picked up my Tufport.

It seems to be what I wanted. Can comfortably sleep in the cab over.
I never followed this thread till recently when decided to buy...

I am supposed to pick up my Tufport in two weeks. I think that Loki design is probably pretty well thought out. I was thinking I could pick up some ideas on the use of space.

any of the dentists have one of these

web site is a little short on dimensions thought I might get some ideas

Pride of Cucamonga

yes that is why I was leaning towards propex.

this has probably been discussed a here a few times. Since I am going to order today thought I would get other opinions. Should I go with the propex 2000 heater or a cheap diesel heater. am going to...

didn't bother reading the blog but get the jest. Happens fairly often in the boat building world. Had some visitors this week first one had a mint 1998 chevy van with pop top. Friend just left had...

the 3.5 was tweaked in 2017 so not the same as new 3.5. Also older does not have 10 speed transmission that gives the good gas mileage. But so far I am impressed with the performance of the 2020.

My main concern was warmth and being able to hold up on dirt roads and weather.
I liked this company but tufport worked out better for picking it up.

cruise america is selling off their 2017 lance 650 campers in Vancouver. $12000 US. seems like a good deal but no jacks.

did you happen to see if the F150 was the extended payload GVWR 7850? I tried to order one but not possible this year. I ended up getting truck with 2050 lb capacity. I think that Lance 650 might...

good to hear that. This is the exact set up I am shopping for now. Having a hard time finding f150 with the larger payload. Curious who you rented from. Maybe they want to sell older models. edited...

You do not want to come to Alaska. Put a freezer in the back to fill with fish. Than head back to Arizona to sell the fish in the Wal Mart parking lot. The weight will break the frame on the Alcan...

i have no experience with campers. I am thinking with a newer camper with new jacks it might be a two hour job putting on or taking off. But I really have no idea.

Yes everyone is saying that. I am looking at the truck as a daily driver, The camper use will be around 30 days a year. Hard to find f250 supercab do not want a crew cab. may have to drive a newer...

Any opinions on Travel Lite https://www.travelliterv.com/explore-super-lite-truck-campers--super-lite
seems like good options under 1500lbs. Way cheaper than a Lance 650. Has me wondering. I am...

amazes me people will spend $32,880 to sleep in a tent on the roof of their vehicle. just stay at the holiday inn.

thanks that is a good link. Confirmed what I have been learning. If you want a hard shell buy a bigger truck.

I think you are in Canada. Looks like they are out of Kelowna. Probably a few more floating around up there. It is on my radar will have to start looking harder. Looks like it takes some blocking to...
