Re: Northstar 850 sc Electric roof lift
I'd look into using a drill (after making sure the lift system is in good shape). People do that for tent trailers all the time. Not sure how the weight compares; they have shorter--but wider--roofs and a lot more weight in the sidewalls. I have a TC800 and would use the drill if I had rooftop AC and a bad shoulder. The new lift system is built into the cabinetry and probably hard to retrofit without gutting much of the camper.1.4KViews0likes0CommentsRe: easy on/off truck caps?
Getting a second truck (as described by JRscooby) is my favorite plan so far! :) Hehehe As a city-dweller I don't have a barn but I can set up some sawhorses in the garage and put a couple teenagers to work if I have to. This sounds doable! Appreciate it. Thanks all!767Views0likes0Commentseasy on/off truck caps?
Anybody regularly swap out a cap for a TC? Are aluminum caps light enough for two to handle? Any recommendations? (Shortbed F350) Thanks! (The soft caps (like Bestop) are nice but I'd rather have something a bit more secure and that I can put a boat on.)5.1KViews0likes21CommentsIs anyone familiar with the Escape trailers?
I'm still looking for something small. The Escape trailers (out of BC) are interesting--small, nicely appointed, and not too frilly. Similar to a Scamp but with better options. They look good on paper but there are no dealers and I've never run across an owner. Has anyone seen one? Owned one? Heard of them...? :) http://escapetrailer.com/ I'd love to hear from owners of any of them although I'm specifically interested in the 19 or 21' models. (The tiny 5th wheel is intriguing. I don't know anything about 5th wheels!) Thanks!1.2KViews0likes4CommentsRe: Lance 1995 bed size--never mind!!!
A very cool thing about Lance is that they have their brochures online, going waaaaaay back. Some of them are wrinkled up scribbled up photocopies, but they made a solid effort to get them up there. They may or may not be accurate, being brochures and all, but they're there. You aren't even talking about an old Lance from 1995, are you? hehehe.325Views0likes0Comments
