    060s skamper roof repair

    I'll be trying to disassemble the Heco system this weekend. Unfortunately it seems to rain here every afternoon. I already removed the canvas from the entire roof since there was water damage from the fantastic fan and a lot of the foam insulation separated from the roof and was soaked. I...

    060s skamper roof repair

    So easy a caveman could do it right? Haha, let's hope so. Mine is a 95 065S. Just picked it up this past weekend. It has pieces of plastic end caps. Haha. Someone also added metal brackets to the outside and through bolted in a bunch of spots to stop the bending of the wood. It didn't...

    060s skamper roof repair

    Please do post pics! My bolt holes are definitely not aligned. Both corner pieces are tilting outwards. Someone in the past has tried to bandaid the problem with using metal brackets on the outside of the camper corners. But the center of the back board is still C shaped and is no longer...

    060s skamper roof repair

    Hey, I know this is an old thread but I just picked up a Skamper 065s with the same issues as you. The rear torsion brackets, should they be parallel to the ground when in the correct position? My corners are broken and pushing up because of the torsion brackets. Basically, if I figure out a...

    Tembo Tusk Scottle Recipes, Tips and Tricks

    Unfortunately I didn't get any good pictures but I did make some great food this weekend. Marinated elk steak tacos with pepper jack cheese for dinner and sausage, egg and cheese burritos in the morning made with elk breakfast sausage. If I don't get an elk this year and every year here after...

    GFC vs. Vagabond

    I knew the opening side and rear panels were going to be great but I's have to say that is probably the best part of the GFC. Camped all weekend and never once had to crawl into the truck bed to retrieve anything. Everything is accessible from the outside. This is such a convenient feature...

    Considering a Go-Fast Camper - Interested in real world experiences and reviews.

    Just got my GFC and this is my existing setup. However, I want a setup like you have. Looks like more usable space. Great job with the build. I wish 80/20 wasn't so expensive.

    Dometic CFX28 Wiring Help

    You were correct. I think I only added about a foot to the wiring to mount it to the back of my bed. It still works perfect with no additional mods to the wiring size.

    Exposed two friends to the skottle this weekend. Just cooking up some Jalapeno Cheddarwurst and wraps had them amazed. Even simple gets the point across. I love the skottle.

    Dometic CFX28 Wiring Help

    Ran the fridge all weekend and it worked perfect. Such a great purchase. I'm thinking the wiring into the bed will end up being about 5' longer than it it now since I had to do some crazy routing to get it to stay hidden in the cab. Shouldn't be an issue. If it is, I'll upgrade to 8 AWG

    Dometic CFX28 Wiring Help

    I ended up cutting down the wire and soldering all the connectors. It seems to have fixed the problem. I guess I'll have to see how it's going work when I add ten+ feet to the wiring when the fridge makes it into the bed of the truck. Thanks for the help guys.

    Dometic CFX28 Wiring Help

    Hey, I just hard wired my CFX28 by cutting off the cigarette plug. I ran 10 guage wire straight to the battery with an inline 10amp fuse. The problem I'm finding is that when the truck is off, the fridge will try to cycle the compressor and shut itself off. The orange light will come on and...

    Trekpak dividers

    I stole this idea too. Thank you so much for the idea. Also, Home Depot by me sells panels for $10 in black. They are around 2'x2'. Worked perfect for my drawers. Now I just need to find eva foam.

    Tembo Tusk Scottle Recipes, Tips and Tricks

    So, I've cooked just about every meal on the skottle since I've received it. Call it research and adding to the seasoning. I'm currently rearranging the entire galley in my teardrop camper to get rid of all the other cooking appliances I had built in. This thing is amazing. I became addicted...

    Tongue strength on off-road trailer

    I've built two offroad trailers on a HF base. On both, I ran a 2X2 full length tube. Thousands of offroad miles later and both are still perfect (Tongue wise). 2X2X1/4 is plenty.
