I'm looking for a new tent to hold 2 to 4 people and a dog. (They don't all have to fit--this is to supplement a truck camper. ) The Gazelle t4 looks good. The size is right and I really don't want to mess with tent setup. Pop it and stake it is really appealing for overnight stays. The main...

My TC plugs into the 7 pin plug by the hitch. I want to use a hitch box that has lights and needs to plug into the 4 pin plug. My truck (2012 Ford f350) has covers on the plugs to keep them clean and both can't be open at the same time. (I don't even know if they could actually function at the...

Does anyone have tips for using an Omnia oven? What do you cook in it? I picked one up for our tiny truck camper and I'm not sure why. I have mastered baking powder biscuits on the home stove with it (first try!) and can probably handle anything from a refrigerated Pilsbury tube although I...

I have a Northstar tc800 with an exterior shower. Unlike many RV showers, the hose for this one (it's this, pretty much: http://www.overtons.com/modperl/product/details.cgi?i=96094 ) isn't contained in the shower box but is instead in the camper. Has anyone modded this stupid thing or found a...

Howdy! We usually have to use the dinette bed in our Northstar which means detaching the table. It's on 2 pedestal legs and generally a pain. Has anyone found a better option? Thanks! (I have considered replacing the table with a sheet of plywood that can travel under the seat cushions and...

Hey y'all! The campgrounds at Mineral King (Sequoia/Kings Canyon) are listed as "tent only" with no RVs or trailers allowed. I suspect it's due to the size of the sites and (even more so) the unfriendliness of the road to get in there. Anyone take their popup TC there? Any problems with the...

Hi y'all. Are there any popups with foldouts besides Northstar and Outfitter? (And why the heck are only popup guys doing this? Lance had one but it's discontinued, and Northstar has them in their hardsides, but they're popup people...). Our Northstar 800 might be getting too small sooner...

Howdy. I have a Northstar TC 800 and will be putting a large canoe on the factory-installed roof bars. The weight should be fine but I'm worried that the boat will act like a sail and peel up the roof at highway speeds. Obviously that is ridiculous. But is there any reason for concern? Is it...

Hi again. All the TC650 mods going on are inspirational. Made me look again at that silly "wardrobe" in my TC800. I currently have it full of plastic bags and pots/pans/lids. It's a little bit of a waste. Has anyone come up with a good use for this tall skinny space (besides hanging clothes)? I...

Hi y'all! Has anyone gotten creative and thrown up an extra bed over the dinette/couch in a FWC or ATC camper? I think these campers would be great for my family if we could find a place for kid #2 to sleep. Hallmark has an option for a bunk that looks like it could be copied somewhat. If ATC...

Howdy! I've been browsing the forum and learned quite a bit but I'm still pretty clueless. Perhaps y'all can find it in your hearts to direct me. :) I am thinking of purchasing a truck and a popup TC for a family of 4. The truck I'm looking at has a payload of ~1960 lbs. You can guess where...
