Many thanks, Bumpyroad, I did look at that review, I guess it is a small one, I wonder if there are any owners who belong to this RV.net?

Many thanks, at least it is self contained

Yongkie,

Is there a camplite dealer near beaverton? I was originally thinking popup but now I am seriously considering hard lite weight.

Try Funtime RV in Tualatin, call ahead if they have 6.8? Or Apache Camping, these are what listed? In the livinlite.com

The seat cushions are rather thin. That was my first impression when we checked one out. The exterior is stylish and appealing, but the interior was harsh. My $.02.

I don't have the 6.8, but I do have a CampLite.
While the interior is a bit spartan, it meets my needs. Other campers have more amenities. i.e. drawers & cabinets, bathroom sink, etc.
I knew going in what I was getting, an aluminum framed, no wood, light weight camper. I had a couple issues that required me to drop it off at the manufacturing facility. Their service was outstanding. I would get another one in a minute.

Jerry,

Did the issues serious in nature? You are not that far away from Wakarusa I take it. Could you explain more on your resolved issues? Many thanks.

The front panel where the pass-thru window is located was somehow installed upside down. The window instead of being even with the back window of the truck was above the cab!!! Considering everything I had special ordered about it I wasn't too surprised. QC should have caught it but didn't. I changed the door, added cabinets and even notched the lower front of the tub to overlap my in-bed aux. fuel tank.

Luckily I only live about 220 miles from them.

While I feel bad for those that have had wood rot, I feel confident, smug perhaps, that I'll not ever have any issues like that. Even bad leaks would have nothing to damage other than bedding, clothes & food.

Many thanks for the input. I am seriously looking for the 6.8

Hi we have the younger brother of the 6.8 the 5.7. Having a smaller truck weight was the issue. We had a couple issues which I was able to take care of. The factory did't do their best to help with the issues. I could sense going into this that this was the way it would be. We like our setup for being built in 2011. The newer ones have changed. The insides have less storage as far as the 5.7's go. They seem to be well built but only time will tell. I do like the fact that there is no wood no rot. I think if in a perfect world I would get the biggest one and plan my own layout. Good luck with your search. Bill
