    2021 Nimbl Camper for Sale

    On my XP built rig, there is a sticker on the outside wall (but inside the camper) of the wet bath enclosure, near the floor and entry door. Has date of manufacture, serial number, estimated dry weight, and fresh water capacity. One thing to note on serial numbers is that it doesn't always make...

    2008 Earthroamer XV-LT $220,000

    Not all that different from normal exhaust work for the mechanical piece. I see the real challenge being: 1. Making sure you have the sensors, the associated wiring, etc and that they function properly. 2. Restoring the ecu/pcm tune to stock. I’m sure if you had all the correct parts in...

    Crested Butte, Colorado - Summer and Fall Tour 2023

    Great pics. Do you already live at high altitude? I’ve had 401 on my list for a long time….and then I look at the altitude and but on the back burner until I can spend a couple weeks at high altitude prior to. Live and have lived near sea level for most of my nearly 50 years. Sent from my...

    Thoughts for an Overlander in today's market? Suggestions?

    One thing I learned in my search for a flat towable but off road capable rig is that the turbo 4 in the Ranger is direct injection. Easier to control ping and therefore despite being a turbo, premium fuel is not required. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    2020 Ford Ranger questions

    I looked at the Zr2 Colorado as well. But at the time GM wasn’t offering automatic emergency braking in the Colorado or Canyon. Wasn’t going to make the mistake of not getting that specific driver aid for something the wife would drive as much or more than me. Might want to compare shock...

    2020 Ford Ranger questions

    We have a 2022 with Tremor package - better shocks and springs. We test drove regular FX4 packaged ones and the ride in the Tremor was way better. Matched a lot of what I read before buying, specifically that the mono leaf springs on the back and stiff shocks made for a fairly stiff ride...

    RAM 3500 cab/chassis Custom Build XPCAMPER NIMBL $87,000

    Labels say XPCamper built the flatbed. The predecessor company to Nimbl Vehicles. I have an XP built camper and flatbed on a 2015 RAM 3500. You won’t get an actual “weight rating” of the flatbed…especially since XP no longer exists. Nimbl might help you out with an estimate in that regard, but...

    D vs. E rated tires on F350 with Supertramp truck camper? Are D's OK to use?

    I recommend either going with the E or waiting until you can get actual axle weights fully loaded for the longest trip you expect to take. I know only 220 lbs difference per axle, but you’ll be surprised at how quickly it adds up. It might even make you consider an entirely different brand...

    Light for Vehicle Repairs

    Petzl headlamp. Actik Core is what I use. Have an older Fenix headlamp as well as one I got based on FB add that has a LED strip on the headband, but prefer the Petzl. USB rechargable battery or triple A's. Light only where you need it, and never in your eyes unless you look in a mirror...

    One ton truck Suspension modifications for camper

    Nothing happened other than I found my dream rig at a price I could just barely afford at the time. So the 2007 with apex 8 was sold to help pay for the much nicer rig. Newer rig is running Icon 2.5” remote reservoir shocks with something like 8 or 9 levels of compression damping. At almost 2k...

    One ton truck Suspension modifications for camper

    Here is my experience with a 2007 Ram 3500 and an Outfittermfg Apex 8: I had factory overloads but the truck still sagged a bit. I first added air bags. No more squat but handling didn’t really improve. Then I tried Rancho 9000 adjustable shocks. Didn’t seem to help much. Then I tired a hellwig...

    Does anyone here pay to have electrical upgrages installed?

    This. If you insist on having someone else do it, look for a high end car stereo shop. Ask to see examples of their work, particularly the wiring. If they use a quality crimp tool (hydraulic for large diameter high amp cables), heat shrink over crimped connections, take great care to route...

    SOLD -2007 Dodge Ram 3500 w/ Outfitter Apex 8 for Sale - La Mesa CA

    The same types of things any one that gets more complicated than a bone stock truck would encounter. Here are the issues I recall from an electrical standpoint: 1. There are 6 total overhead light fixtures - 3 on each side. There are 2 rocker switches at door entry that cut power to its...
