    Imperial Outdoors Xplore XR22

    Thanks for clarifying. I didn’t think it anything to do with the Canadian trailers and was not familiar with that company.

    Are you talking about the Canadian fiberglass trailers from Bigfoot RV as having leveling systems?

    Trail Marker Up and Out with Wet Bath by Rollingstar MFGing

    Out in SE Oregon last week and came across a fellow towing a rather large Grand Designs 5th wheel with 4 slide outs with a large Ram truck. What was unusual was the utility trailer that he had hooked up to the rear of the 5th wheel. He was returning from wintering in Baja and said he had been...

    Overview of RV Industry - Video

    I stumbled on this video from the "RV Nerd" guy who is tied to an RV Dealer (Bish's) in Michigan where he discusses some interesting trends impacting the RV industry and market. Total length is 35 minutes, but it's possible to skip ahead by viewing the specific topic in the scroll bar that he...

    Imperial Outdoors Xplore XR22

    I continue to be amazed about the small beds they are putting in the trailers. Frequently, they are not even full width "full" size at 54". Yet they frequently build the bathrooms with sinks, separate shower and a medicine cabinet. There's already one sink in the trailer, I don't need two...

    Hallmark Truck Camper Company files for bankruptcy

    No argument that there are some impressive competitors to FWC in the marketplace today. And, as all of you noted, those alternatives come at a price. FWC has been around for many decades, as have a few others. I first started researching popup truck campers in 1997. At the time, I focused on...

    Any pop-top truck campers with sitting room inside WHILE the top is down?

    I had 2 different FWC Grandees (8ft bed) for a fair amount of years and both my wife and I could sit inside with the top down. Sometimes we'd stop for lunch in route and, if the weather outside was dicey, we'd hop inside for a quick bite. Of course, no cooking. However, I'm only 5'8" and the...

    What truck/camper combo won't shake apart off road, i.e. Dalton Hwy?

    Actually, the AEON RV is not an EV. It’s an AWD Ford Transit powered by a 3.5L Ecoboost gas engine. However, its systems, are all electric with the exception of an Espar gasoline cabin heater. Although the heater does require electricity for the blower. Ford is bringing a Transit EV to...

    Who's building the best 3/4 Ton/ 1 Ton Gas Truck these days!

    I've read that Ford has developed a 6.8 L gas engine to replace the aging 6.2 L. I've been told it should be available on trucks this year. However, it is still not showing on the "Build It" function on Ford's website.

    2013 Tiger Provan Malayan LT F250 4x4 on Craigslist

    I actually was able to take a look at this rig first hand. I decided to pass on it for a variety of reason, foremost being that it was too small for my purposes. The living space appeared to be in good shape. Of course, I did not test the systems/appliance or take a test drive. The seller...

    What truck/camper combo won't shake apart off road, i.e. Dalton Hwy?

    You reference having experience with a wide spectrum of camping/exploration vehicles over the years? It's also been my experience that needs & preferences change over time and that is likely common for many others who've done this for a long time. So, given your background of experiences, I'm...
