    How to approach a solo woman

    He could be clueless.....but fact is he basically chased you in an isolated area and that is damn concerning. I would be concerned EVEN if it was not an isolated area.  He ADMITTED he was following you! If he was just a clueless father taking a video of a strange woman dogs for his daughters...

    Installing tiedown hooks on camper

    it has 4 access doors but no hooks of any kind or even any evidence of any hooks ever being installed....which is why I was asking questions on what kind of hooks to use :) I think I am just going to wing it and put a bolt/plate just above the hatchet door. I believe a stud finder will help...

    Installing tiedown hooks on camper

    Truck Camper and Bounce

    Truck is a 2017 Ram 1500 tradesman single cab long bed.  Camper is a Capri maverick (I believe) that has nothing in it but a table that can be made into a bed....no tanks, no heat, no anything.  Camper weighs around 800 pound and my truck can handle a little over 1600 pounds.

    Installing tiedown hooks on camper

    Sorry if I was not clear but is a slide-in camper.  The truck itself has tie-down hooks in the bed but I would still need external hooks to attach the camper to the truck's tie down hooks...right?

    Reporting My 2nd Review, Living on BLM Land on My New Camper/Truck

    Wow! sounds like you have a quite a time and not in a good way! you can’t control how people react to you - some people are just jerks (nicer term then I am actually thinking). You can only control if you remain around them, listen to them and if you going to let them tear you down. You...

    Installing tiedown hooks on camper

    i was thinking about that but I had trouble finding mechanics that would do that for a price I can afford (I live in Los Angeles). I don't feel comfortable doing it myself so I figure the easiest DIY would be to install the hooks myself instead of putting holes in my truck. My plan is to use...
