I'd do a pickup with a canopy, or an older blazer/suburban before I'd buy a truck camper. The difference in creature comforts is pretty small, specially if'n you aren't gonna be a professional RV-er. A good down bag with the wife as a heater is plenty warm, and you could get a little buddy or whatever kind electric heater and run it off 12v just to warm up the space a little.

You know, I thought about that as I could do just what you described with my Land Cruiser. But as stated below, having a bit more room for the pup, the lady and I with proper kitchen would be much more bueno and make her much more agreeable to the idea
That's more what I'm thinking. When you say pop-up, you mean a trailer or one of those truck campers that folds down low and then you can pop up for more space?
Oh bud ... that's a sweet rig, but I'm looking more for a ready-to-go package. While I'm all for a hobby, I'll need something that with only a bit of work, I'm ready for a 10 day swing chasing storms in the PNW.

We are getting our 18' Airstream worked on right now in Zootown. Getting new insulation, new wiring, new windows, new torsion axle, and a better heater for the winter. They are so light I've seem folks towing them with subaru's, the F150 tows it with ease. What's nice is that you can leave it at the campsite and still use your vehicle to drive around without having to secure everything for every trip. Friends of ours have truck bed campers and they are quite envious, its not real easy to dump them for a quick excursion. Although can't take it over teton pass in the winter and is not stealth, but nice and comfy inside...Another thing to think about is a lot of the campgrounds around GYE are going hard shell only due to bear issues...tents and pop tops do not qualify...

Buster, I know chinook made some (one?) in 4X4. A buddy of mine had a chinook, it was on a lifted F350 or 450 4X4 van platform. Had an ARB bumper and dualies in rear. The thing was awesome. He sold it in the t-town area about 5 years ago. So, I know there is at least one out there, and I assume they made more. Maybe they are as rare as a unicorn though.

Before we purchased the Tiger, we shopped Chinook 2wd units with the intent to have converted to 4x4. Most of them were V10's though, and with manual transmissions.
Nice rigs though.
Saw a Baja on the road between Cle Elum and the pass Friday afternoon.

Need help with any suggestions on a cup holder strategy for a van we camp in. It is a 1970 Ford Club Wagon Chateau. It is fucking awesome and has a 302 cubic inch engine that plows over passes, furnace, stove, fridge, sink, all work. But with the old engine compartment "Dog House Style", does anybody have any suggestions on something for cups, as morning coffee makes everything warmer. I don't really want a massive console unit there but I remember seeing old truckers with a snap bottom cup that basically snaps into a holder glue there. Suggestions from someone more creative than me?

A roll of duct tape works well.

That's a sick van! I've owned a half dozen vans and cup holders is always an issue. I have two solutions. One is the Rubbermaid cooler with four cupholder holes on the top that fits perfectly between the front seats. Left hand on the steering wheel and right is free to dig in cooler and pull out a beverage. This is my current setup and favorite to date. Older vans I've taken a small piece of 4" PVC, glued a cap on the bottom, then screwed it directly into the doghouse. Two of these make for some stylish his and hers cupholders. I rattle can some paint that matches the interior so it looks all factory.

Who out there has extensive experience with an Olympian Wave 3 heater at altitude in cold winter conditions? We just got one to use as an alternative to our forced air heater in our Six Pac truck camper to cut down on battery drain and noise while sleeping.
I'm wondering how much venting is safe, do folks generally run them all night, are folks having to also use their forced air furnace to stay warm in sub-0 temps?
