RE: Beach Roamer Campers

They have been around for over a year now, they released a walk through of one of the bigger units: https://youtu.be/Bgvxh3gwqDs?si=i7WCxB1O4KbAiYOe Updated walk through on the units: https://youtu.be/YNoplsCcZMA?si=kNNPUridgphxEj1V

RE: Truck in front of the camper

"dry bath with slides" As already mentioned add DRW to your list of needs.

RE: Solar panel

I thought a picture might help, if you have a DC clamp meter you can monitor the output to your batteries from the wire that attaches to your battery hopefully if you have enough room. Link to pic of my setup

RE: Solar panel

Make sure your clamp does DC.

RE: Tie downs for 2023 Ford F350

Happy Jack worked great with the older steel beds, I wouldn't recommend it for the newer aluminum beds.

RE: Largest Lithium AMP Hour Battery - 2023 Arctic Fox 865

That is a sweet setup! Only thing you are lacking is a way to clean the greywater to make it drinkable again and you could stay offgrid for a long time!

RE: Large Truck Campers: how practical?

Off road has many different meanings so not sure what your going after but some of us have heavier TC's and enjoy going off the pavement and find it practical as you can't tow a trailer to those places.

RE: Turnbuckle advice

Keep an eye out on ebay or fb marketplace, some show up from time to time.

RE: Lightweight, 6'5 Headroom, shower, 90's-2010's, suggestions?

Have you looked at the Capri Lone Star yet? https://capricamper.com/models/lone-star/

RE: Lightweight, 6'5 Headroom, shower, 90's-2010's, suggestions?

Not in the years your looking at but Northern Lite made a taller ceiling in 2011 in some of their TC's. https://www.truckcampermagazine.com/news/heads-up-northern-lite-raises-the-roof/

RE: carfax for truck campers

Not a tow behind trailer with tires that requires registration, different beast which I like not having to pay every year for the privilege to camp.

RE: Rv loan rates!

With loan terms on RVs going out to 20 years people see the low monthly payment and sign the papers. Most don't care about the % as long as it meets the monthly payment they can "afford".

RE: Method HD wheels on beach

Not sure on exacts but the HD's with bead grip allows you to go lower and still carry 4500 lbs. I go down to 20psi on my stock rims on the front, will only go down to 22psi on the rears. BTW, are you getting bigger tires, I am interested in putting bigger tires on my rig so the differential isn't smacking stuff in the sand and so I can float better.

RE: How to keep a TC from being stolen when not on the truck?

https://www.torklift.com/blog/entry/how-to-protect-a-camper-from-theft The body of that article has nothing to do with the title. :h I guess you didn't read far enough. When it comes to camper theft, the position of the FastGun Wobble Stopper prevents another vehicle from backing up and loading your camper. Keyed alike locks are provided to prevent a camper from being stolen. With complaint of camper movement and worry of camper theft, Robert and Amy Taft installed the FastGun Wobble Stoppers on their camper.

RE: How to keep a TC from being stolen when not on the truck?

I will lower it down so it is more stable, that and a truck can't get under it. I have powered jacks. If someone wants it bad enough they can still break in and power up the jacks from inside if they find the remote and know what they are doing. If you are worried about that happening I would put a tracking device in the camper or an airtag at a minimum.

RE: Frame Stiffing to reduce Porpoising?

As already mentioned, the biggest thing for me fixing the front to back rocking was installing Rancho 9000's on front and back, I keep the front set to 5 and the back set to 9 with the camper on. I have a local concrete highway that would kill me before I put them on, the spacing of the dips was just right that would would have you feeling like you were in the ocean.

RE: Help - jacks are draining my batteries

Sounds like a converter issue, generator outputs AC, when running the converter should convert to 12v for charging batteries, I can have almost dead batteries and as long as I get the generator started I can use my jacks without issue and I have a heavy camper. I would put a voltmeter on your batteries and see what they are doing with the genny on and operating the jacks.

RE: Aluminum vs Steel flatbed

I couldn't believe my eyes with the one rig, guy had a Dynamax isata 5 out on the beach, said he was aired down to the 40's. Our sand is not hard packed like some beaches and he was floating good on it, like I said it really surprised me this past year seeing rigs with 19.5's out on the beach aired down.

RE: Aluminum vs Steel flatbed

do you know that 19.5s aren't very good for the beach? This is not true, I have run into many guys running 19.5 aired down on the beach with big rigs, and this is in sugar sand not hard sand, so it CAN be done, I couldn't believe it till I saw it.
