RE: Cab over Camper shell?
Fourwheel campers sell shell versions of their popup campers for exactly your purpose. No exactly cheap though.

RE: Good greif.....
A fine bit of engineering in the hands of a skilled operator.
Wonder what they think the electric jacks are for -- wtf.

RE: Dometic Compressor Fridge Issue
Interesting in that I had exactly the opposite problem: it would turn of with the refrigerator good and cold but the freezer wasn't. Solved with foam insulation between the sections.
Don't remember that mine had a fan -- just convection. But I guess it could be that a circulating fan has failed.
Yes, the thermostat is (or was) in the refrigerator section, at the back just below the freezer -- part of the adjustment dial.

RE: Why do I need a DC to DC charger?
There's a lot of ridiculous advice in this thread. Maybe a little good too -- but I'm way too smart to keep reading when I see horse- I mean nonsense.

RE: Truck Camper Cable Entry for DC-DC Charger Wiring
I used one of these and the matching plug. I think it's called a 'tail gate' connector or something like that.

You're going to use a solenoid or equivalent - right?!, to disconnect the circuit when the truck isn't running.

RE: For all you carpenters
Reminds my of a construction worker I know, who wasn't great with English. He said "too short - very impossible to fix".
(not really - just start over with a new piece)

RE: Timbrens vs Stableloads
I like this approach as they enhance OE suspension and do not effect unladen ride.
I think you answered your own question.

RE: New to Truck Camping
The best you can hope in this (continuing) discussion/argument is to understand the factors in your particular situation -- and hopefully make a sound decision.
The two extremes for max load are: 1) believe what the manufacture says, and 2) real max load is the minimum of rear axle capacity / spring capacity / tire capacity.
I was and am a 2 man (within reason).

RE: Removing Contact Overloads
I don't know what they mean be 'contact overloads', either. But I do know that I did something similar on a similar truck, and certainly did not remove the bottom overload spring. In fact, I increased it's usefulness.
Top overload springs
My objective was to have the fully loaded truck ride at stock height -- which it did.

RE: Wilderness camping and gun safety
Never felt remotely unsafe on any of my deep offroad camping trips. But I almost always had the shotgun ready (at night -- not while driving), 1 to jack into firing position and 7 in reserve.
00 buckshot or rifled slug, depending on the area. Never fired a shot.
