Yep, always put on at Minam in August.  Always low in Aug, usually around 500 cfs range on the Troy Gage.   Keeps the people away, but when the people are away, the animals will play!

Hello Shap and the WTW crew,

 

Great posting here about these little beauties of campers! My wife and I had been eyeballing a slide-in camper for the past couple years but they've generally been out of our price range, until last week when we pulled the trigger on a 1990s Roamin' Chariot in good shape! Anywho, it looks to be the same slightly-longer-than-6' version that you've got and we'll also be installing it into a 1st Gen Tundra Doublecab. I was wondering what your installation looks like and any tips/pointers you'd give us since you've got a bunch of experience using yours in similar conditions as we plan to (frequent chunky mountain dirt roads, summer biking and winter skiing trips)?

A couple of specific questions are:

1. How much lift did you build into your base unit because it looks flush fit on the bedrails?

2. Are you through-bolted or using tie downs? If tie downs, where are your mounts and are they reinforced?

3. Any other pointers for securing for rough roads and semi-frequent install/uninstalls (not going to leave it on full time)?

We won't be available to actually pick it up for a couple weeks but wanted to reach out for advice on fitting it since you've got the exact same setup it appears! Thanks and hope you're having a lovely summer!

Zach
