Actually thats my carport!
& I'm thinking about shaving off about 10 of 12 inches of the edge to make it easier to get that camper out when that day comes, I did give it a slight bruise when placing it it in there but once I buff it out, nobody will ever see it.
Its only a slight discoloration not a real dent or anything.
Cant wait to get crazy on it!
I'm already got lot of ideas running through my Head on mods & such.
I wanna add light to all sides in case I need it at night or hear some noise & wanna turn them on from inside to see what going on out side..?

Have any of you mounted motion sensor lights?
I've been mounting around my house lately & think it might be cool to add . with a beeper to let you know there is something going on outside?

Can someone tell me what I should expect to pay for a TC cover for this thing?

Once all is said & done I might just build a cover for it at the house but....

With the proper truck, esp. if you lift some of the weight off, it should be no issue.

I had a truck camper on a truck, for about 2 years, and never any issues.

Sweet! Go ahead and sleep in it right there. I don't think you have to worry about it tipping over...(big grin).

I figure lift the weight to give the truck a suspension break & then Maybe Its my excuse to still get my '65 Falcon Ranchero for a Home depot runner if I keep the Camper on the truck.

I'll probably sleep in it tomorrow night being I dont have the shore power adaptor, I forgot it at the guy house & I'll go get it tomorrow & then will make sure how everything works over night as if on location.
