@Chorky I like the wya you think. This makes a ton of sense to me...I'm an overthinker by nature and I can't help but consider these things. These considerations are all super important but you're right in that you don't want to over think it. I feel like I need to do the best I can, reinforce...
@Jnich77 I totally agree, and I am working on trimming some weight in the cook set and in a few other places.
I do some backpacking, and i agree wholeheartedly that the backpacking mindset IS a great way to go into this. One thing that I found really helped me was making a list of everything I...
@tatanka48 I'm starting to think I shoudl have gotten a 3/4 ton, but now here the dillema I have...my truck is already paid off...it only has 100K miles and I'm confident it's got at least another 100k miles. I take good care of my stuff and do all the regular maintenance. If I keep this truck...
Thanks for all this info, this is super helpful!
@Ryanmb21 I agree with you...I got started in the camping game really late in my life...I didn't come from an outdoorsy family and only discovered the joy of camping in grad school. I've learned a lot and I've really refined a lot of my systems...
Hey All.
I've got a bit of dilemma that I cannot seem to consolidate in my mind and hopefully some of you know more than me and can clear this up. This involves vehicle payload, aftermarket accessories, and general vehicle safety. I won't belabor all the specifics of the different vehicle...
I've heard the same thing. I can't wait to get my hands on it. I've been doing the inverter thing too, and it works well enough, I suppose, but having a dedicated vehicle charging solution compared to the sketch inverter I've been using would be nice!
Thanks @gillbrak ! The one thing that I was worried about on those was the hinge? Is it just a pair of #10 stainless machine screws? Is there any kind of thrust washer in there or anything?
Hello!
I recently got a killer deal on a Dometic CFX75DZW and while I'm thrilled with the extra space and functionality, I'm not thrilled with its substantial size. Weighing in at ~70lbs empty, she's a heavyweight for sure. I've got a set of decked drawers in the back of my F-150 that I want to...
Hey Guys,
Thanks for all the info. Really helps. Glad to hear it seems to be working as advertised. Recently though, I've been trying to get in touch with some people over at GFC and haven't had any of my e-mails returned. I think there's been some miscommunications about production dates that...
Hey everyone! Trying to get some input on my suspension. The rig is a 2011 Ford F-150 XLT Crew Cab 4x4 Truck. Currently I've got a Halo Lift Coilover and Total Chaos UCA on the front which I'm pretty happy with. I've got some Dobinson HD Rear Leaf Springs on the back right now that I have mixed...
I put my deposit on a GoFast Camper last night! It got real!
After reading what you guys had to say and all the other comments I've read, it just seemed like such an obvious no-brainer. So it is ordered. If timing works out, I'll have it by next camping season; the first adventure will...
@rajacat that's AWESOME! I'll have to check back with you and see how you like it. I think I'm going to order mine next week. I spent a long time on the phone with them today and got a ton of information and I just feel like it's such an obviously killer product.
@crazysccrmd , that's exactly...
Hello!
I've got a 2011 F-150 Crew Cab truck that I've been using as my go-to adventure truck for the last few years. I've been messing with roof top tents, trailers, etc for a long time, and while I've had several configurations I've really liked, I think I want an all-in-one integrated...
Hey Everyone,
So here's the deal: I've got a CVT Mt. Rainier that I've been running for a few years. Recently, I switched to a low pack-rack on my truck which I love, but the Mt. Rainier is a little unwieldly. I'm thinking about down sizing to something Mt. Shasta Size (Tequi Kukenam 3, etc)...
