That's what I was thinking as well and easy to put stickers on if you wish to.    BTW, I love your signature - it reminds me of a cooking show or a restaurant where the chef (or waitress) describes the evening selections.  ...or maybe it's just my warped mind, in either case I loved it!

Anyone have recommendations for some carpeting I can put into the camper (over the vinyl) that is waterproof and will not let water seep through and onto the floor?  I can picture using the camper on a hunting trip where it'll be super muddy and rainy.

For a carpet I had something like this door mat.  I got mine from the laundry service we uses where I worked. I cut to fit. Just pull out and shake off.

Great looking rig.

 

For carpeting we are using an old set of bathmats - rubber on the bottom and carpet on top.

 

If you and the Mrs are sleeping above and the little one below, consider opening the corner of the window near your head for a little fresh air and condensation removal. A little fresh air helps everyone sleep better.

Mine were leftovers after they re-carpeted the medical building I was working at. Should last forever, completely waterproof, still I'd like to get something that would be easier to drag outside and shake out.

Another question...

 

I was told to use a pressure reducer if I connect the camper to a pressurized faucet.  I doubt I'll ever to that, but I want to have a pressure reducer in the camper just in case.  What should the pressure be reduced to?

Don't know what the actual reduced pressure is but the RV pressure reducers are pretty standard.  You can pick one up online at Camping World or even Amazon.  I had my camper prepped at FWC so it was ready out the door and a pressure reducer came with the ready kit.  Ive yet to use it because a prefer to fill the tank.

 

If you connect to shore water, it bypasses the water tank.

I bought one of the standard RV style reducers but it was still higher than what I expected.  I think it is this one:

Yep. That's all you need.  Many of the campgrounds with water have their own reducers as well. It still allows plenty of pressure to shower, etc.

Hey Bwh4x4,

Looking at your set-up pic posted at night with your LEDS on.  I noticed your waste bag is on the ground.  The one I bought from the company is very short and only goes down to the wheel well.  Lame.  How long is the hose on yours and did you pick it up somewhere besides the Four Wheel Popup dealer.  And thanks
