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

 

Hi Zack, welcome to WTW and congratulations on the new camper!  I just noticed that @Shap has not logged in since mid May.  You might try a private message if you don’t get a response.
