    rubbermaid action packer

    I also have had great success with a peel and stick weatherstrip on an action packer. I had one bolted onto my roof rack for 9 months in Australia. It was subject to massive amounts of "Bulldust", several huge rain downpours at highway speeds, and temperatures into the mid 40's Celsius (113 F...

    Best coating for exposed plywood? Bed Liner? Full sun/heat exposure in a hot climate

    I highly recommend truck bed liner. I made a plywood shelf for my rear bumper that I had professionally coated in truck bed liner. It was a step and a shelf to support a propane tank and folding ladder. It withstood all kinds of abuse, sun and water with no signs of deterioration or fading.

    Clamshell Pop-Up Camper Design

    I like it! The concept is very similar to the XP V2 & V3 but using flat panels. I don't see any technical issues with building the lower half of the clamshell design from off the shelf foam/composite panels. The top sides of the lower clamshell will tend to flex a lot, but can easily be braced...

    Mustang as an overlander?

    I was surprised that of the 3, the Lotus proved to be the most reliable. I loved the acronym they mentioned though: Lots Of Trouble, Usually Serious. I had not heard that before.

    New FWC Hawk

    A few suggestions: A small 2 or 3 step step ladder is handy for access to the camper and also if you need to reach a roof rack, remove debris from roof, clean off a solar panel, brush snow off roof, etc. A small dust pan and brush (unless you got the built in vac option...just kidding). A...

    Ram 2500 over GVW with a FWC Hawk!

    I read the title to this thread and it really grabbed my attention, I thought your truck was 2500lbs over GVW with a 4Wheel Hawk Camper. When I read you are 100lbs over GVW with your 2500 series truck I relaxed a little. I don't think being 400lb over GVW is all that bad provided you take the...
