Re: Gooseneck fifth wheel and a flat bed. Help!
Sounds to me like I need to scrap the idea of using the K20 and drag the powerstroke out. From my measurement at a local RV sales lot, I need to stay under 30' regardless due to my shed. If I get over 30', not only will I be buying a camper I will be adding on to my shed also. That being the case it is a 1997 OBS ext cab long bed f-250 with the heavy service spring package and the 7.3 turbo diesel. It is bone stock, nothing ever done to it performance wise. Still has the stock intake and exhaust. I know I have had a combined weight of trailer and load at 14K behind it and I know that I don't want to do that EVER again. Just a little piece of advise and I am sure I am preaching to the choir on this one, do not let family talk you into hauling stuff for them. There was a lot of lost religion when I got home.457Views0likes0CommentsRe: Coleman PUP no heater.
Very true on the not for long. I have a degree in HVAC technology and the second my wife said we I can just plug it in here. The electrical and heating side of me kicked in and said NOOOO. I just saw smoke before it was over with and I was told many years ago that once you let the magic smoke out of something you can not put it back. lol478Views0likes0CommentsRe: Coleman PUP no heater.
That was the thought I had. I don't see the electrical system of the camper being strong enough to safely support the heater. I see that you camped in one of these for a while and I looked a little more closely to mine last night and it is also a 1988 sequoia. Do you have and tips and tricks to add about the camper. We had travel trailers when I was growing up and I am in the market for one now. We have camped a few times in the PUP and like it but we would be a lot better with a TT around the high 20' range. I want to make do with the PUP through this and next season unless the deal of a lifetime jumps at me between now and then but I don't have a lot of experience with this one.477Views0likes0CommentsColeman PUP no heater.
Hello all, I am new to this and I am looking for some ideas. I have a late 80' Coleman pop up with a/c but no heat. I like to camp in the fall of the year and that is mostly when my work slows down enough for me to enjoy camping without having to carry a laptop and an air card. I am looking for a source of heat for the camper as my wife is very cold natured. Now with that being said if I can not find a good solution for this I will be selling the pop up and purchasing a travel trailer.3.6KViews0likes19CommentsRe: Gooseneck fifth wheel and a flat bed.

Well the upshot of that is that the truck has a 4spd instead of the turbo 400. The Biggest question I have is that fact of what weight campers I should be looking at. I am not scared to drag my powerstroke out of retirement if needed but I would prefer not to. My wife is the one that wants a fifth wheel and I would settle for what ever. Does not make a difference to me s long as it has and outdoor kitchen. Yes a I know that is a sad request but a man has to have his say.455Views0likes0Comments
