Re: Anybody know what's going on with Happijac?
That sucks. I don't know how some people stay in business with poor service these days. I am currently in Japan and have been buying a lot online preparing for my return to the states and a new camper. If a company does not answer my email with in 48 hours I will not do business with them586Views0likes0CommentsRe: Grocery Shopping on the Road

I have been in for 18 years and I seldom shop at commissaries because the suck in every way, selection, quality and service and the price is not that much lower if at all.328Views0likes0CommentsRe: Truck Grill Guard
I did a bunch of research trying to decide between a Buckstop steel bumber (350 lbs with winch) or Aluminess aluminum (260 lbs with winch). I ended up going with the steel the weight savings could not justify the added cost, lack of durability and If repairs are needed more people I know are better at welding steel than aluminum. I also think the weight up front may help to balance some of the weight from the rear.368Views0likes0CommentsRe: Tie downs?

As flimsy (light weight) as truck bumpers are these days, I'd never consider it as an appropriate mounting mount for a camper tie-down. I see truck going down the road, and the bumper has a "twist" in it from using it as a tie-down point for a camper. I agree I want the frame mounted Torklift, but to complicate things I have wheel to wheel side steps. Torklift makes tie downs that will work with side steps, but I will loose 2" of clearance413Views0likes0CommentsRe: Tie downs?
Thanks for all the replies I am in Japan and my only resource is the internet. I transfer back to the states in a couple weeks and pick up the camper I ordered. When I ordered it I asked for Torklift fast guns and that is what is on the camper build sheet, so I can safely assume I will have a frame mount.412Views0likes0Comments
