IntroductionThis sticky thread is designed to capture a selection of trip reports members have created over the years. There is a lot of great stuff out there and it would be a real pity for it to be lost because people could no longer find it.Big th...
I have had ths camper for about 15 years and just bought the electric jack conversion kit. The camper is pre-wired to each of the 4 corners for the jacks, but then where do they go from there? Anybody have any ideas? I'm a retired mechanic and hav...
I see the forum format has changed since I have posted last. I have a 2005 Bigfoot 9.6 truck camper. The camper is covered and is under a carport with an open front. I winterize it every year with RV antifreeze. I live in the Northern Idaho pan...

It's been a few weeks since the old forum was shut down and this new forum opened up, but I only see a few old members have joined and not really much for posts (20 total members as of the last few days). I really liked all of the knowledgeable folk...
Fort Bragg on the Mendocino Coast of CA is one of our favorite Weekend getaways (actually I could stay there for weeks and not run out of things to do). For us it's about a 4 hour drive from the east side of the San Francisco Bay. We like to Stay a...
I am going to build a simple platform for my camper to rest on to take stress off the jacks when I'm not using it for longer periods. Please share any ideas. I think I'm going with cinder blocks and qty2 @ 2x6 sandwiched for the frame. Spaced maybe e...
So I clicked on my link to the RV.Net Truck Camper Forum, and this website opened. Where am I? Where's the truck camper forum? I found some of the recent posts here:Is this the correct path? Should I look somewhere else for the truck camper forum...
I am considering spending the extra cash to buy Interstate EFB batteries ($200 each) for the Northern Lite. I don't want to change the charging system to accommodate AGM or Lithium batteries. The two Group 24 just fit in the NL battery compartment s...
I've been out of the truck camper world for a few years but want to get back into it before I get too old to enjoy it. Looking to buy an older Chevy 3500 w/ an 8.1 gas motor. Want to make sure I can handle any camper I will find. Hoping to do just s...
Has anyone heard from Sleepy recently? He was a knowledgable old fellow and it was fun to read about his frequent TC Boondocking reports. He ventured over to FB a few years ago and that was the last i heard. Hope he’s still kicking around.Rick
We have been RVing for the past 17 years. We have owned 2 popups, a Class A and numerous Travel Trailers. We sold our Travel Trailer last month and are thinking about a TC. I have a F150 with the 5.5' bed and Eco Boost engine. Are there any small...
I always keep my camper ready to roll when I'm home. Truck fueled, fridge stocked, fresh tank filled and shore line plugged in. I do it for spur of the moment trips and the fact that I live in earthquake country.One thin I had been thinking about w...

Without going into too much painful detail, we had a mishap several week-ends ago. While working with sand bag crews on the Mississippi River, the truck and camper fell into the flood waters as a road collapsed. Because of a number of issues dealing ...
It does take some time and in many ways it's better than RVnet. Although my heart will always be in a truck camper I'm afraid I'll be leaving soon. We looked at a couple of Minnie Winnies and forest river Rockwood's. We liked them and are much eas...
