The latches on the two sliding side windows of my Outfitter Apex no longer latch. These are Hehr windows, and the latch is possibly "HH-1". I've looked at the Hehr site, this forum, and elsewhere, and it seems to say just unscrew and replace. So...
The frame under my 2006 GMC 2500 HD diesel 4x4, extended cab (2 doors) has rusted so badly that it cannot be repaired, so I have begun looking for a replacement. The bumper to bumper length of my truck is 20' 10", and with the Outfitter Apex 9.5 on i...
My Apex Outfitter is 11+ years old, and has developed a crack in the inside roof extending from the air conditioner to the rear vent. During hard rain there is some dripping around both places, where the AC and vent penetrate thru the roof. I've ...
In my 2006 GMC 2500HD diesel I have an AM/FM/CD player radio. I like to listen to music or audio books on long drives, but the CD player skips so badly on a moderately rough road as to be un-listenable. Maybe the truck rides rough, or maybe the ...
Last Thursday I drove from MD to Ontario. After crossing at the Lewiston bridge I pulled off at a truck stop for supper, with the intent of eating, then crawling into the camper to sleep for awhile before driving into Toronto. When I opened up the...

If you are referring to the spring-loaded cylinders, the HappiJacs have been on my camper for ~14 years and they are rusty. they get removed only once or twice each year. A couple squirts of PB Blaster over a couple days, and then a pair of 3/4 o...
When I had the roof of my Outfitter replaced I chose to NOT have a roof AC put on. It would have added 100 lbs to the lift, and if you ever haul anything on the roof, the roof AC is constantly in the way and a tripping hazard.
My mistake. Since I didn't know of the sale of the company, I assumed the poster was referring to the post-financial-meltdown of 2008. A lot of folks were in trouble back then. The Outfitter web site still looks the same. I hope someone who ...
In November 2018 I drove to the factory at Longmont and had them put a new roof on my Apex 9.5. That experience went fine, completed in 2 1/2 days, and I was on the road home. There must have been a dozen campers on the lot ready for pick-up, so s...
