Trying to find a place for my Tacoma with a fiberglass utility shell. I have called a few places (not resorts) and have been told no to truck campers. My time at the rental place is almost over and I'm trying to find a place to stay. So far, my search for a small travel trailer has resulted in...

I have a fiberglass slide in utility body  on my 2008 Tacoma. It is unfinished fiberglass on the inside. What type of material should I use to line it for insulation and how would it be installed? I see fuzzy lining inside Casita trailers and fiberglass shells. Wondering if that would work and...

I'm looking at different propane tank options for my Mr Buddy heater and I have some questions. I'm thinking of spending the extra money on aluminum for the weight savings and non-corrosion properties. Is it worth it? Do they have to be retired like the steel tanks? I would like to store it in...

I have been thinking about a portable chuck box to keep my frequently used cooking and eating items together for easy access. I was thinking about a medium sized cooler to store the plates, cups, utensils, a small single burner cooktop. It would be of a size to be able to sit on the passenger...

I'm seeing the need for insulation in my fiberglass utility shell "home". I'm hesitant to glue insulation to it and have issues with the glue, insulation or lack of access for wiring or checking for moisture. Anyone ever velcro closed cell insulation to the wall/ceiling surfaces? I'm all about...

I'm going to be setting up a commercial truck body as a liveaboard capsule. I would like some ideas for building or buying a tool box to house a second battery, inverter and a couple of 12v outlets. I could put this under the sleeping platform and run wiring back to the truck battery for...

I want to build a go anywhere stealth camper and hopefully use my paid off 2004 Tacoma as a base. It's been lifted with larger A/T tires installed. Next upgrade is a limited slip diff. I work in the oilfield so I have housing most of the time. I want this rig to be be a go anywhere ( within...
