Way back in the 1970's my Dad had a person who baught themselves a camper and shipped it out to France. Then, they decided to buy a few, and become a "dealer." I don't know how many they shipped over, but it is pretty cool to see the old picture of the one parked on the steps of the Eiffle Tower.

Well, now some nice folks, who live in France, have decided that a new custom Phoenix PULSE is the right camp unit for their Toyota Euro Hilux. So, we have been working on their unit for the last couple of months, and these photos are from when it was loaded onto a big rig, and sent is on its way, long trip accross the big pond. I understand that these customers are followers of this thread, and I don't want to spoil the suprise, so I can only show you pictures of this unit after we wrapped it up for shipping. You'll see it sitting funny on our work truck because we had no forklift, and had to manually lift and slide it into the trailer, starting from the height of the pick up truck bed. That was a Crazy day... Should arrive in Montreal on Monday, be mounted on their truck, and then the truck/camper rig will be loaded into a container and continue onward to it's new home in France!

Why do these seem to tall when popped down compared to others, just more underbed storage or is there something else under the bed?
How do those lift arms work to raise the roof, are those telescopic arms that are flat on the ceiling?

1985 4 Runner.... No Problem!

We have built PULSE pop ups on 4 Runners already... and we would LOVE to build yours! In fact, we enjoy this kind of custom work so much that we might be able to work out some promotional specials for you, when you're ready!

Well, we have been a little out of touch this last couple of weeks... sorry about that. My lovely wife and I took a trip up to Montreal Canada and just returned. We finished the unit that is heading for France. The customers have a Son who lives in Montreal, so they decided to ship their Toyota Hilux diesel 4 cyl Vego to Montreal, have the camper installed, then ship the entire rig back to their home in France.

Since they were going through all of that, just to get one of our custom made PULSE Pop ups, we just felt that the right thing to do was to meet them, and install their camper in person. It was a wonderful trip. Weather was perfect, the camper arrived JUST in time to be installed one day before our flight out of town, and also arrived with just a little bit of freight dammage from the Denver - Montreal shipment. After installing the camper, we had a fun 2 hour lunch with the great people, we spoke english (well, American), they spoke French, and we basically played sherades... Can't wait to see the pictures they send once the rig gets home to France in about a month...
so much fun!

Here are some pictures from this adventure....


Before the trip, camper ready to ship:



Before we wrap her up, we have to hit the scales... it comes out to 570 lbs!!



All wrapped up and ready to go.



The big UPS truck picks the unit up, and we head for the airport:





The view from our hotel room, 17th floor of The Intercontinental Hetel is AMAZING! This is just a picture of the Qebec flag flying attop of one of the many sky scrapers.



During the week, we wait for our call, because the truck is stuck in customs at the Montreal Docks... so we ride the "metro" and scope out the town.



This is my beautiful wife pretending to have a good time on our business trip.



Here is one of the big attractions, the Parc Olympic.



We ride the highest man made leaning tower in the world's inclinator to the top and see all of Montreal, birdseye view, beautiful.



After the Parc Olympic, we go accross the way to the Bio-Dome, a huge domed roof building with a full Zoo and aquarium inside. I think this was my Wife's favorite part of the trip, watching the zookeeper feeding the cute penguins.



Finally, on Thursday we got the go ahead to meet the customers and install the camper. When we arrive, the customers are very suprised that Cari and I are the actual "technicians" who have arrived to install their camper. We have exchanged over 150 e-mail messages and photos over the last 3 months, but they never thought they would actually meet us in person.... so, very suprised for sure! When we get over to it, the unit looks pretty good, but there is some damage, so the customers filed a claim with UPS, so they can get it repaired in France.



Then, we all finish unwrapping it together:

And install the jacks:



Once it is stablized on it's jacks, we check out the insides and demonstrate how everything works. A nice gentleman who works at the Public Storage came over to translate our english instructions into French for the customers.... good thing, thank YOU!!













Then I have to check the truck out, run the wiring, and ready it for installation:

Also, I like this little customization.. I find it funny that it is acutually written in english:



Then we lift it, and load the camper onto the truck:





Then, we removed the "invis-a-lift" jacks, put the studs back in the holes, and start snapping pix:







And, My favorite picture of the whole trip (besides the ones of my beautiful wife, of course):

Hello and good evening to you all,

We are the proud owners French of Camper built by Rob and currently still on holiday in Montreal.
Since the beginning of this year, we met most of the manufacturers of campers in France.Our priority was:
- Custom sizes on our Toyota Hi-lux.
-strength materials for the practice of off-road.
-quality materials and finish.
- Removable camper.
- And the price.
We could not find a camper on Tailor-made.The "pop-up"system does not exist in France and the prices are exuberant.
Despite all the difficulty related to language (we speak very little English. Thanks google translation for emails), we completed our project with Rv Coyote.
The truck left France by container in October 10 to arrive in Montreal on November 3.
After these "adventures" of the port and customs, we expect the technicians in a Public Storage, early in the icy wind.
And ...
We see Cari and Rob in person from Colorado .....
What a surprise and what emotion!
Damage, the champagne bottle was left at the apartment in Montreal at our son.













A lot of work and changes had to be directed by Rob, for the European standards, without changing prices.
Conversion-110v to 220v
standard sockets France.
We have communicated our desired dimensions and modifications by mails.
About 150 mails messages... Cari and Rob were always quick to answer our many questions and we are regularly informed of the progress of our project.

We especially appreciated the excellent communication and work done.
We believe that family structure, "a human scale" has best to answer to our numerous requests.
With Cari, we ordered four more additional hooks with straps. In France, the hooks are at the top of the bucket.
It can not be better.
The dimensions are perfect ... and we can put the tailgate on our return
The painting "dark silver" (Dodge challenger 1973 model) is terrible!
We look forward to regain our truck and go to a trip in the Spanish Sierras near our home.
We live in the south west (Basque Country), 10 miles from the Spanish border.
For 20 years, we have "buzzing" with a Pinzgauer 712 K,that we keep. To keep some feeling in the Pinzgauer all-terrain, we have equipped the truck with ARB air lockers, and ARB suspensions. We also like the tires "mud" Bfgoodrich.
With age .... the comfort of the "truck" / camper is more fun.





In France, many people will be interested by this camper.
When we tell our adventure, we'll talk about Rob and Cari, Coyote RV managers, telling them

In the STATES

ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE


Thanks Cari and Rob
