Sorry, somewhere in the thread I got the idea you had a flatbed truck.

Ran across this pic of a flatbed truck with a cabover truck camper attached to it. I had other pics of it but can't find them now. Looks cool.

I bought one of those 5-day ice chests from Wallyworld a few months back and covered it in reflectix, put a 1" thick piece of Styrofoam insulation underneath and put a sterilite plastic tote inside for the ice to sit in. Haven't tried it out yet. BTW, there are self-serve ice stations near me...

While looking at the duckworks shower I remembered this is the site where I buy my Resp-O-Rator dust filters. They're located in the Misc. Tool section. The filters are designed for us guys with beards, who can't use a standard paper dust mask because of a poor seal against our hairy faces. The...

Another vote for the kill-a-watt.

I've tried a 5000 btu portable air conditioner in my camper shell and found it woefully inadequate for cooling on those high 90's days, even when parked in the shade. Would rather have had a small window unit, but no good place to mount it. Roof AC would be overkill and too heavy. I guess I'll...

Super nice! Like your heavy duty bumpers. Won't have to worry about pulling anything loose while you're winching.

When I had the standard fiberglass shell I made a rope loop and fastened it underneath the head of one of the bolts near the inside top of the tailgate. Once inside I pulled it to close the tailgate.

I may have lost a couple of mpg's after going to the taller shell. I'm thinking about installing a luggage rack on the cab of my truck with an airfoil attached to smooth the airflow over the extra height of the shell to try and recoup my mpg's. What was the problem with your friend's back...

Hey Rastaman, what did you decide to get in the way of a TC?

You're welcome. White would definitely be cooler. If my truck were white I would have gone white on the shell, but being dark green I didn't like the idea of a white shell. Having a shell that matched the color of my truck would have been my first choice, but that costs a lot more so I went with...

Here's my Leer camper shell. It's about a foot taller than the cab of the truck and gives me plenty of headroom when sitting on my bed. I'm 6' so I have to hunch over to walk around in it. Only had it for about a year and found out last summer that it get's extremely hot inside with the black...

Glad to hear from you again billy. You can save a fortune by installing your own winch. The local Warn dealership here wanted $500 to install mine, so I did it myself. I bought everything online and saved quite a bit more. I used the Warn Trans4mer system including brush guards to install my...

Hey Arizona, How's the build going?

Hope he has a beefed up rearend on that wagon or it's seriously overloaded.

US Navy 67-70 on board USS Kirwin (high speed amphibious transport), USS Dodge County (tank landing ship) and USS Conyngham (guided missile destroyer). Also, semi-shore duty with USN Beach Jumper Unit 2 (if I tell you what I did I'll have to kill ya).HA

That vent on your roof above the ac looks identical to the roof vents for refrigerators (like dometic). Probably the air intake for the sides of the ac, hot air is then blown out thru the back like a normal window unit. You probably have a similar vent above your refrigerator.

Welcome back Seraphim. How did your new TC work out on the big trip?

When I had a class C a few years back I installed one of these Cyclone Sewer Vents in place of the black tank roof vent and it worked great.<A href="http://www.campingworld.com/shopping/item/cyclone-sewer-vent/31992" rel=nofollow...
