    New Alu-Cab Canopy CABIN full size

    Herbie, yeah I was thinking the same thing. The length changed and I am thinking the width at rail must have as well. How that change transfers to angle will be interesting to see. The unicorn video seems to show less…but so difficult. But we all have a guy, on this thread so we’ll know when he...

    New Alu-Cab Canopy CABIN full size

    Thanks for the responses. This is the reason I belong to the forum! Good intelligent cliffside banter. Yeah I get the points and love the ATT products as well. I agree the summit and atlas would be better for two plus configurations. The lack of cab forward usage does open up the opportunity for...

    Currently in Saint Petersburg, Russia waiting to get snow tires put on my Lada. Said hello over on YouTube, and thanks for the reply as I know how busy you are, enjoy the hot weather. Missing North America right now. Large gap in posting here, me too, very strange synchronicity. Be well!

    Removing rear seats to increase payload capacity?

    Come to read about removing rear seats to increase payload capacity on power wagon. See 100 posts about my super build overkill "name brand" is so super that it don't matter. Sprinkled with "well my truck" regurgitate physics and mechanical engineering learned in grade eight...why I never post...

    Comparison shopping: Colorado, Gladiator, Tacoma

    Been reading this thread with interest. Great discussions and insights. I am in the same boat as the OP. Perhaps different design goals but...I like the thoughts. I haven't had anything to say to date, so just reading. I agree with you about tattoos if you put them on your skin. One should only...

    Introducing the “NEW” Alu-Cab Canopy Camper

    Rin, My bad I searched Alu-cab and zip. Simple camper got me to pricing. Now I can ballpark some stuff.. The differences between the canopy camper and the K camper had me confused as they seem to be discussed here on the thread as one. I gots it now just needed more coffee. Anything on the...

    Introducing the “NEW” Alu-Cab Canopy Camper

    Rin, I like the build of this canopy camper more than the AT Summit. Lose the tailgate lose some weight. Important for the ZR2 Bison. The other details and attention to is cool. Two questions. You pointed to Goose Gear for the plate system. They make one for the Bison but will the slide out...

    Best Pop Up Truck Camper for Winter Use

    SG1 thanks for your vote of confidence. I had been looking at OverlandEx and debating an X10 or like build. I've spent nights in both Hallmark and FWC in the rain. To be honest, the FWC did go through an eight-hour raining sideways in BC Canada storm. The forest road was trashed and while we...

    Best Pop Up Truck Camper for Winter Use

    Thanks for the educated replies, Especially from BC. I am bouncing ideas off an HVAC engineer I happen to have at my disposal right now. It does seem the soft fabric causes more of an issue then. Probably due to temperature variations inside the space. I will read the link posted! Thanks to...

    Best Pop Up Truck Camper for Winter Use

    Has anyone addressed the condensation issue in soft-sided pop-ups or is there really "MORE" of an issue than usual when you put two moisture making mammals in an insulated box? I get the material choices can stop ingress of rain and moisture. They have been building inflatables for years with...

    The Road Chose Me: Driving a Jeep Wrangler 80,000 miles around Africa for 2 years

    Hey Dan you didn't drive through SL or Liberia. At least it looks that way from your website map. Redline went down the coast but you turned left and went around. Can you comment publicly what lead to the decision? To late now but one of my mates is basically SL Navy. LOL! I could have got you...

    The Road Chose Me: Driving a Jeep Wrangler 80,000 miles around Africa for 2 years

    Made me remember how much I missed Africa. Getting close to my operational area of SL and Liberia. Things are better but be safe and head on a swivel. You'll have more experiences with minefields in Mozambique. I was there in 99/00 when the Ottawa accord on land-mines was signed and it was fun...

    If a slide in camper had ...

    So similar to TuffPort that one of the pictures on the Hallmark site appears to be a TuffPort Mobile Treatment Unit on it's side. I worked in these in the earlier 90's and they have an internal roll cage and set up for transport, seatbelts etc. The TuffPort product is heavily used in British...

    How to make a cheap isolated dual-battery setup for $50

    Punched through a ton of rubber grommets that way without issues. If you're worried about water save that part till the end of the day. Pull your wire, add some silicon to it, pull it back and forth a bit, in the hole. Add a little more silicon engine side and go to bed. Let it dry overnight.

    Bear safety in RTT's and soft sided campers/tents

    As I said in my post. Developed in Africa to keep you off the ground and away from scorpions and the like people found that because the animals had been habituated to vehicles they pretty much ignored them. Game drives are conducted in open 110's and 120's, passengers open to the environment, no...

    Bear safety in RTT's and soft sided campers/tents

    I have tossed the idea of a RTT because the level of rain we get on the Wet Coast of BC. Not because of the Grizzles we have. If it wants in, it is getting into ANY production camper made. 99% of the time you have a shower in the morning without incident. 1% of the time you slip, brain yourself...
