Thank you! I posted from my tablet last night and couldn't get the pictures linked. Settled for just posting the link.

Who wants to go in on it?? :)

Who's rig is this? I don't think I've ever seen a pop up on a snow cat. Genius!

Thanks. This time of year, I'm really only out for the weekend, and I figured if it's anything but snow, I can put them inside while I'm on the road. The nice thing about the racks is that it will be...

Finally had a chance to work on my ladder ski rack, and I'm getting ready to head south for the weekend. The concept was a little better than the actual implementation... and I might need to come up...

It used to take me 45 minutes to load my old Sun Lite solo. Much less with a helper.

The only thing really prone to wear in the roof raising mechanism is the gear on the crank handle. These are...

Thanks...unfortunately with the amount that it overlaps the door, I'll have to drill both holes on it. My old truck camper had great ski storage between the footprint of the camper and the bed of...

Yep, but my ladder is 12 inches wide, and the bolt holes on the Fatcat 4's are 13 inches wide.

And, even if I could get that to work, the edge of the rack sticks out just enough to block the...

Do you have a ladder? I'm planning to modify some Yakima FatCats to attach to my camper's ladder. Will post up pics whenever I get it done.

I had a newer version (93) Sun Lite that was my ski rig for many years. Even with canvas sides, it stayed pretty warm in winter without any modifications. With that said, the damage listed in the ad...

Thanks C. I still miss Blue Velvet, and wonder where she ended up...hope it's with another ski bum.

Gen 2 was bought by a nice family in Salida. They know Baetis and some other friends, and I...

I've definitely heard of folks using foam pads or reflectx, but I did fine without either. Probably would have run the heater a little less, but still, those heaters put out a ton of heat without...

I've probably averaged 15 nights per winter in my old camper, which only had canvas sides. The heater was a beast, and I stayed warm down to -20. You could feel cold radiating from the sides/windows,...

After several years (and winters) in my old uninsulated, yet surprisingly warm, Sun Lite pop up truck camper, I've finally upgraded.

New-to-me camper has electric jacks, insulated canvas, and,...

Big pimpin! This will go fast!

Nice - I actually saw a rig like that second one in Yellowstone a couple of years ago. Insane.

Makes sense - I was guessing as much but the reflection off the bed and my crappy screen made it hard to see. Congrats again - you'll be able to go anywhere in that thing!

Welcome to the club!

Do yourself a favor, and get a camper tie down kit installed on that nice truck of yours. Much more stable, and will cause less damage to your truck. I had to run tie down...

C-thanks again. I got home way too late Sunday and also last night to give it a try. I'll throw it on there today or tomorrow to check it out.

More camper pics or Fruita pics?

This past weekend in Fruita. I'm totally loving the camper.

Mine has a crank handle. Up: unbuckle outside buckles, climb in, turn handle till fully popped. Takes maybe three minutes. Putting it down is essentially the same thing in reverse, except I do have...

I've had some condensation issues. Keeping the roof vent cracked definitely helps, and if it's not dry by the time I hit the road, I usually pop the top at the house (no garage) and leave the furnace...

Thanks A! Just got the furnace dialed in today. It CRANKS. Honestly, it's so clean/sterile on the inside that it's freaking me out a little. I really don't know if any of the previous owners actually...

Yeah, I covet those too. If you're interested, I found one at a dealer in Denver for a ridiculously low price (5500??). It's set up for a long bed though, and a couple grand higher than my budget. I...

Glad to hear it! And yes, it DEFINITELY needs a disco ball.

I'm in for a summit.

Just out of curiosity, are you hauling it with the jeep? How's that working out for you?

Yep - it hauls, and this new (to me) camper definitely cuts the wind better than the old one. But I did get a hoody out of it...:fm:

Good thread-I was thinking of starting a "where to park my rig in X ski town" thread as winter approaches. I'm hoping to storm chase a little more this year.

I traded up from Blue Velvet to this...
