<br />Greetings<br /><br />I have been struggling to find a used FWC or ATC for my 2001 Tundra access cab(that is not priced like new). Have any of you used a wood frame camper like a Sunlite before you switched to the aluminum style? Did it work for light off road use, like the White Rim Trail...

Anybody ever ship an FWC? Got any advice The campers fit on a modified pallet, so they are easy to ship. I would recommend shipping in a container, this is more expensive but much safer for the camper as it can get strapped down inside the container. The loading and unloading could be...

well, I got the 03 double cab 4x4 with the 3.4L V6 Engine. With a loaded Bobcat, wife, two kids and dog we might be a little heavy and overloaded, but it does work. The V6 is nice and I usually don't go faster than 65 mph, usually less than that. Mileage without camper is about 18 to 20 m/g...

There is another option, heavier, expensive but so much faster and comfortable. I bought a few years ago a 15´ row boat from these guys: http://www.littlerivermarine.com/heritage-15-classic/ I had my family (2 + 2) plus the dog in the boat and could still row comfortably. These boats are...

Kodachrome: If you do not mind, can you tell me what you did to your Bobcat to make it ready for extended trips? Thank you, Darryl Sorry to squeeze in here, but the best and cheapest mod for me was this hanging storage thingy

I guess many of you have tried this before but I still had to post this. While driving through southern Mexico a few months ago I remembered this cooking technique from long time ago. Wrap your food in aluminum foil, secure it on the engine (choose location according to cooking temperature)...

Hi sledskiing, I got an 03 Double Cab 4x4 Tacoma with the short bed, the only option there was in 2003. The bobcat goes about 1" over the opened tail gate or about 13" over the bed with no tailgate. I installed air bags for the rear suspension and never really had any problem with the...

I have to agree with the others, and it's the way I went. 80 W solar panel with 2 batteries is the way to go. When I used this solar panel with a single battery I ran out of juice after about two days. But, my solar panel is installed under the overhang as a slide out and I have to fans, two...

After a bunch of reading, measuring and re-measuring I settled on a Norcold DE-0751 to replace the less than stellar 3-way Norcold that was installed during the FWC building process. This is the 'updated' model from the DE-0051. It uses a "hermetically sealed compressor" (I think it may be a...

I'm driving my 03 Tacoma, which might be a little overweight with 4 people, the dog and loaded camper. But going slow on my beloved Mexican roads, we still get 16 - 18 mpg. Without the Bobcat I get 18 - 22mpg. If there is a Taco driving slow on the highway, it might be me doing the turtle thing...

Cabezon ...porque su nombre es 'cabazon' pero su corazón es suave y cálido. Cabezon is the nickname I got a few years ago when working in Dominican Republic. It has something to do with my head, just don't know if it's related to its size or my "persistence", it could also be called stubbornness.

The surf was goood I noticed your routing....so I gotta ask, how was the surf??:thumb: Where did you start your trip from in the states? Gracias The surf was gooood, in Puerto Escondido and Zipolite. The gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean coast don't have any waves, at least not without...

I just finished unpacking the truck and camper, what an experience! We (wife, 2 kids and dog) left on July 7th for a tour around southern Mexico. Our start and finish was/is Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo (close to Cancun). The total trip length was about 2300 miles in 17 days. Truck and camper...

Cancun is getting better Little by little we are getting back on track. The pig flue thing was a huge success for the media and great distraction from the faltering economy. But I personally think it was blown way out of proportion. The weather is beautiful in general, just a few short showers...

DD without the camper it takes me now about 30 minutes to mount / un-mount the camper, so I prefer to take it down. With the loaded camper I get about 17 mi/gal, without it about 21+. So for me it's worth it to take it down. At the end we use the camper about once a month, so it's not a big...

Good luck in Missouri Good luck in Missouri Ben, I think you did the right thing, for you and your daughter. If you ever come down to Cancun, let me know and I show you the area.

Paradise is what you make out of it Those are awesome pictures. Its good motivation to see how well others are living. Interesting to see your set up. It looks like a Bobcat. I have a Bobcat on a 4x4 Tacoma Std Cab. Regards, Darryl Hi Darryl, it is a Bobcat with almost everything Ben...

More pics from the beach Here are a few more pictures. I really enjoyed the encounter on Sunday morning with this huge sea turtle. I just hope the nest can stay undisturbed and the little ones make it to the sea.

I guess you all heard it over and over again in the news, Mexico is right now not a very popular destination. Hotels are closing down, unemployment in Cancun area will soon be around 20% (or more), employees who didn't loose their jobs had to take up to 50% cuts in salary. So, what do you do in...

****, do these come with a gas station? What mileage do you get out of these monsters? I guess you don't have to worry about narrow spaces, you just plow through, right? But still, I think I'll stay with my little Tacoma

ATC Bobcat with Tacoma works for us We got one 11 YO girl and a 3 YO boy, the 4 of us went with our previous camper from Miami to Canada for 3 weeks without problems. Now we have the ATC Bobcat, our daughter sleeps on the sofa, the rest of us on the bed. I modified the sofa and the kitchen...

303 from amazon I buy my 303 through Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/303-Protectant-oz-Bottle-Spray/dp/B000GDB0J6/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=sporting-goods&qid=1238422459&sr=8-1[/URL] I just checked on their website and the do have shipping to Slovenia. What truck are you using for this camper...

C & B approach I'd be worried about loosing the rigidity of the slide doing that. The front brace does most of the work but the plywood does some as well. Good luck and use some test pieces first. ;) Hm, I usually go for the crash and burn approach. Some people learn through reading or...

cut out table Not sure if you've bothered to take the slide out in/out of the camper but its not the easiest thing to maneuver the rotation to get it out the door on a regular basis type thing, I can see someone being rushed or such over time potentially tearing the sideliner. Perhaps you have...

Multi use modules The first mod I did on my camper was taking the table out and installing slide out tables into the kitchen cabinet. The second mod was changing the sofa / bed setup. The original ATC setup takes up too much space when used as a bed. Now it is a little higher and closer to the...
