My experience with coils is that they don't settle much. An manufacturer worth their weight in poop will "scragg" the coils when they're built to ensure that they don't settle... If you tightened...

Pictures of the rig out camping... What a novel idea!!

Let's see, Weekend trip to Monarch pass two weekends ago...
This is the Bar-Cross Ranch valley.

Pulled over on the way so the...

I don't think the phoenix roof is very heavy. The camper I looked at recently that had the same lift mechanism, and the lift rods that you push on were bowed in the middle. I think if you put the...

Well, I've been busy in the camper... I ordered a Blue Sea 6-fuse box and used that to rewire what was once handled by three HUGE wire nuts. It turned out really well, and I highly recommend...

More importantly, you have an E350 van with a 5-speed manual trans????????? COOL!! :)

I don't buy the hype of cryogenic rotors. They are probably quality units, but I'm not sure the cryo does...

New addition to what's become known at work as the "High-capacity Assault Bumper"... Heading to Moab this weekend and needed a way to get my motorcycle there with the camper in the back. Putting...

My haulmark does pretty well too. It's certainly not breezy, or noisy, but the wind will rock the whole unit if it's hitting the camper on the side. I just make sure to park with the back of the...

Hey! We were there last fall, for Thanksgiving, and that same pile of posts was there. There was paperwork saying that there was an active mineral claim near that cabin, and just across the road...

Where's the dang "Like" button??? I'm in for a build Jack!!! If we find a diesel G30 van, SFA it, chop the cab, toss in a T-case, and put on a flatbed and voila, instant Awesome! :)

Just curious, but how does it drive with no front sway bar? If I ever get serious about going places in my 2500, I think I might ditch the front bar. Of course, it'll be a little tipsy with a...

This is a great idea!! Now I know where to put my Mag Light that's always rolling around in my truck!! Thanks for sharing!
And by the way, I used one of those small extinguishers once. You better...

I wonder if that bumper is BPA free? :) I would bet that with a good rinse, the bumper would be fine for storing potable water, as it's just HDPE, which is the same as pretty much every water jug...

Hahah... I bought my real Hi-lift so long ago that it was only $38 at Pamida. (I think I was in my 3rd year of college at the time.) That jack is still working fine, and has saved my bacon so...

I wish tire dealers would listen and provide feedback to Cooper, not just discourage people from getting tires in sizes that aren't "popular". I like my 285's, but I'd love something more like a...

And here it is!! I paid a little visit to SolarBlvd and bought an 85w panel, mounting brackets, and a SunSaver charge controller....

Wow, it's been a while since I put any updates on here. The forward rot repair is holding up well. I moved on to another project after that... Getting rid of what was once the bathroom and...

Hmm. I was going to say that what you're doing is like comparing a BMW X5 to a Jeep Cherokee... But it looks like Outfitter is making a really nice light and durable camper now at a fair price. ...

I waterproofed mine... And made them easier to find if they ever burn out. :)

Found a nice 2001 Phoenix pop-up slide-in camper on CL: http://boulder.craigslist.org/rvs/3672615294.html

I looked at it over the weekend, but it's going to be too small for my needs. Overall...

Hey, like the work you're doing!! Not to change the subject, but way way back on page 3 you evidently bought one of these:...

Looks late 80's early '90's to me. If the skin is flat, it's at least pre-91 or so I think. Looks like the outer skin is coming off the front corner... Have fun fixing that. Looks like the roof...

Lots of people end up with spacers under campers for lots of reasons. Many of them actually bolt the spacer right to the bottom of the camper so it's always there, but you could just as easily have...

Where in that .pdf do you see an AT in 255/85R16? I only see the AT in 195/75R14 on page 83. (Mail truck tire)
I'd buck up for some 255 AT's if they made them, as I really those tires! :)

Short answer: Not really.
Longer answer: Kind-of... They may rub the front of the wheel opening and the rear when you turn sharply. (If you use stock wheels, the clearance is better than with...

I'd like to get there some time soon too!! Very helpful and informative writeup!!
Just so you know, you could have put part 2 in your first thread... Just "Reply to Thread" in your original...
