    I finally received my "missing" Fiamma awning crank, it's wild that the factory argued with me about it being in the camper when it was clearly missing. The awning will extend a couple more feet out (5-6ft) with the support arms secure to the side of the camper as pictured and it'll extend to...

    I spotted an Oliver Elite II (my dream RV) here in town earlier this week, I definitely got the feels upon seeing it. I made the following meme as it might ring true lol. Either way, they are a hard flex on us poors in our Casita's.

    I'm BACK!!! 2023 F-250 Tremor build

    I finally got around to messing with this factory winch install. Just doing some prepping before I plan to tackle the install early next week.

    PLEASE !!!! pick my new truck for our build

    I've had both but the Ford extended cab would be my choice. I'd favor the diesel if staying mostly here in the states, the 7.3 gasser if you want to take it abroad with less issues sourcing fuel. Sounds like an awesome build, best of luck with your decision.

    I had mounting plates welded to the frame front and rear, I just haven't attached the front jacks yet. But yes, these are a massive improvement over the stock 1500lb junkers they had on there far too aft.

    I was running behind schedule Thursday afternoon before I departed for the gun club for the weekend match. I get to the storage unit to hook up the trailer only to realize that the street side tire is completely flat once I got it off of the stabilizer jacks. Brand new tires from Discount, no...

    We added a 7" memory foam mattress and removed the large dinette cushions. With it being just the two of us at most 98% of the time there's no reason to need to convert it back to a dinette when there's the smaller two-seat dinette on the side.

    I'm BACK!!! 2023 F-250 Tremor build

    Small potatoes compared to some. My sister lives on a farm outside of the larger town where they send the kids to school, shop, do their activities etc. and she's consistently at 40-50K miles a year. Guys who hot shot for the oil field will have two year old trucks with 200K+ miles. I'd love to...

    Yea we moved to a memory foam before we ever even slept in it. We have three nights in there now and we have zero complaints in regards to comfort and our sleep. I'll do three more nights this weekend.

    That's with me actively trying to keep the miles down as well. I used to be a 35-50K mile a year driver, hence why I dumped vehicles so quickly.

    If I can get that kind of life out of it I’ll be a happy camper, no pun intended.

    The 25 cent paper towel holder, a bungee and two drapery hooks. Out of the way and it holds the roll to the side with tension to keep if from unrolling, it'll be easy to replace when empty as well. And a "man" add with the vacuum lol.

    eatSleepWoof gets a Winnie

    That's the rule I have in place as well. The toilet is for emergency's and middle of the night or early mornings only. I will always hit the dump station on the way out if staying at a proper RV park. Hopefully we don't have to do that very often.

    I'm BACK!!! 2023 F-250 Tremor build

    I am a few hundred shekels poorer today after having the oil, fuel filters and air filters changed this morning. Currently sitting at 12,200 on the ODO as of today. If the stars align and @Kingsize24 I can get together next I just might finally get around to installing the factory Warn winch.

    2024 Casita 17' Spirit Deluxe

    I had to take a few things to the camper before next weekends outing. Since the local weather didn't play nice for this weekends trip I just hung out in there for a minute admiring how much more space I have in this setup than in previous campers/trailers. It's a small trailer in the grand...
