RVTravel,  The length is 70" as stated in the original post.   -AK

I know this build is going rather slow, but I'm trying to juggle numerous projects right now!  I finally built a sofa / bed this weekend for the Transit Connect.  It is NOT my design, I saw a similar design here on the Forum and tried to copy that idea as best I could and modified it a bit to...

Sundance, I have been backing my Truck Camper since 2008, so far so good... no accidents! Cameras are nice but... technology fails. My top recommendation, in parking lots, minimize backing up. I try to always park where I can pull out forward. This usually means you will need to park out...

Sean, Thanks for the recommendation! -AK

I love Thermal Cookers!  I have blogged about them a few times... http://www.pocketfullofwanderlust.com/?s=thermal+cooker There are many great models available, Tiger and Saratoga Jack both make great cookers, but they are not cheap.  A very reasonably priced alternative to a traditional...

BigT,  I am hoping you can share some info on flooring and insulation from your conversion.  Do you have any recommendations, would you do anything differently? -AK

Last weekend, I finally got around to installing the "Hidden Hitch" on the Transit Connect.  It was a pretty easy install and will allow me to carry my mountain bike or a cargo box on future travels. -AK

Well done! -AK

Howdy, I was on a trip for the past 2 weeks to Yellowstone and the Tetons with my niece and nephew, what awesome landscape we have in the USA. We went in my F350 with Bigfoot Truck Camper and it was a great time. I must say, 3 people in a truck camper is a little tight, much better with only...

Steamjam1, I too enjoy the MPG of the Transit. -AK

BigT, I'm not sure what Kayak you have?  Mine is a 12" Wilderness Systems Tsunami.  I bought it in May of 2015, and really like it.  I have a Innova Safari inflatable that I have used for years but as you know, inflatables have some limitations.  I want to do some touring and the 12" length is a...

I finally got the kayak on the Transit Connect and I think it fits pretty well.  It was easy to load, it took only about 10 mins to load by myself.  Next addition is to add a 2" hitch receiver so I can carry my mountain bike. -AK

Next Step will be to add flooring. -AK

Hello, I have been on this awesome forum since 2011 and have traveled in a Truck Camper and Tacoma with ARE Cap for the last few years.  Both vehicles have served me well and I will continue to use them to see new places and seek new adventures in the years to come... but...  I have been...

Great build, Last week I purchased a 2013 Transit Connect with 70K miles and plan to start a similar build this week! I got many great ideas from BigT's build! -AK

Welcome Danny! This forum is a great resource! -AK

I often see newcomers to the forum on the fence about starting their "mobile lifestyle."  Many suffer from what I call.... Over-Analysis Paralysis,   Have you long desired to embark on an open-ended road trip in an RV, but always seem to find some reason why you can’t?  Do you always commit...

Raven+Squid, I think the SolarFlair is well made, it functions as advertised! -AK
