    Composite pop up project

    It's not like I needed something else to do, the shop is nicely full and I could relax a bit in the evenings, but I have a few guys I promised to look into the possibility of doing a raising roof for.

    European company misrepresenting products

    We must be doing something right for the Euros or the Chinese to blatantly use our images and claim them to be products of their own. I'm not sure if there's a business connection of if the Chinese factory in their link is hijacked imagery as well but it's all part of the package. Victorian, I...

    So a few years ago, I built a nice Ford F-650 to comfortably haul 4 people and sleep up to 6 for our families travels, we race cross country and hare scrambles plus do a lot of off road riding.

    HELP! Need a fender!

    My truck is a 1996 F-700 and I need a drivers side "quarter fender" "rear wheel house" or what ever you would like to call the broken fiberglass part in the picture!

    Slides

    I am seriously considering putting a slide in my camper, does anybody have any decent pics of the mechanisms under the military expandable van bodies? Or any other HD applications? I'm quite certain the RV industry stuff isn't going to cut the mustard. Thanks.

    Nice pop up

    Check out www.hallmarkrv.com ,they have what looks like a very rugged pop up. I like the glass body and the carbon fiber reinforced roof. Maybe a little on the heavier side but would work great on a 3/4 ton.

    I've been looking at several different RTT's and I'm leaning towards the Eezi Awn family model. It's the right size but how well is it made? I'd like something very durable. Is there something that uses insulated material? What else out there is big and high quality? Sorry if this has been beat...
