Fun trip to Mt Baker with my ATC Bobcat last weekend. The new snow on the rig was from about 6pm to 7am. One of my best ski days of the year!

WOW that's some snow on your Bobcat.
I bet you like having the "storm flaps"?
They sure come in handy for rain/snow/sun.
Looks like fun. Thanks for posting.

Glad your having fun JW
That's a load of snow on the ole roof there. Probably a dumb question, are those your wipers ,poking thru the snow, and why flip them up if that's what I see.
Thanks Russ

Makes it easier to clear the snow off the windshield, and also keeps them from freezing to the glass.

Hey Frank, I always run them in the winter do I don't really know the difference but I imagine snow in with the screen is a pain.

Hi- relatively new to Pop-up campers (Fleet shell on a Tacoma) and I have a few questions about winter use of these. I was up at Baker last weekend during the storm cycle and started worrying about the snow load halfway through the night. FWC says that the campers can handle about 1000 lbs which is roughly 4-5 inches of evenly distributed snow (probably less at Baker). It would appear that there is way more than that on your rig. Do you just not worry about it? Also, do you have a way of preventing snow from coming in through the Fantastic Fan vents when you leave them open or do you just not leave them open?
Thanks
Rob
