Re: Guidance Needed
The camper shell is starting to grow on me. I could probably just throw down a rubber mat that is easy to clean. I'm sure there are some storage solutions that could keep all my gear together and make it easier to transition from work to play mode. Some sound deadening/insulation on the camper shell and truck bed interior would make it a little more liveable.598Views0likes0CommentsRe: Guidance Needed
Great advice, thanks. Definitely came to the right place. The truck already has 10 plies on it. Gravel roads here are hell on tires. Kayteg1 wrote: What boat do you have? I used to own Cabin Cruiser, that slept 4 and it was all we needed for weekends at the lakes. With 5000 lb on the trailer, I towed it with SUV Our friend did own light boat, who with like 2000 lb had small cabin where 2 +2 could sleep. He carried porta-potty on it. 17ft Tracker Deep V. I have considered that, but generally boats with living quarters are not that great to fish out of.599Views0likes0CommentsRe: Guidance Needed

Think I'm going to call Capri and see how cheap they can build a Cowboy. They're pretty spendy fully set up.274Views0likes0CommentsGuidance Needed
I'd like to rig up my truck for some weekend trips to lakes in the area that are too far for day trips. I've done a little research and could use some guidance on the best route. I have an 06 Silverado 1500 5.3 4x4, with the standard 6.5' bed. A camper shell is the easiest and cheapest option. What turns me off the most about it is that I need my truck for work, and switching between work and play would be tedious. There are also no options for air conditioning, it's hot in Missouri. I like the idea of a slide in, the truck could go from work to play in 30 minutes, but it seems like the market is full of decked out monstrosities that cost as much as a small home. I do not have a need for an overhead bunk, a bathroom, **** tank, etc. Does anyone know if there are any basic bare bones slide-ins available?5.5KViews0likes24Comments
