Something New Is Afoot - Building Our New Camper

Update 14 January 2025. We dropped by the ATC camper shop to have the guys inspect our final product. We shared with them how Julie is holding up the “technical end” of our adventures with apps on her smartphone. She monitors our battery health with Renogy’s DC Home app. The Iceco chest fridge is monitored with the Iceco app. We opted to use a Mopeka ultrasonic sensor. I installed the carrier for the sensor and the sensor on the bottom of our water tank. The phone app gives precise readout of water in the tank.
All that technology and camping won't be the same.
But it does come in handy.

Monte,
You sly debil. Division of labor is a smart management policy.
If you can get away with it.

I wouldn't be surprised if there are other status inquiries that, until now, were of minor importance. You may find you have been out-smarted. Julie seems to be pretty sharp. That could be a requirement for banjo maker management. Just saying.
 
And yesterday we were able to get that long awaited photo of Marty with the camper.

I'm curious what you like about the 2021 vs the 2003 truck. Did Ford do the right thing for you, or do you think the older one had better features?

I’m curious to see how Monte’s response will compare to my observations on making the move. I went from a 2007 to a 2019.
Now with 6000 miles on the truck carrying the camper in very rugged terrain - as the few members here who receive our Inreach location messages can atest - I can report we love this truck. Julie absolutely loves - me too - the complete Dobinsons suspension we installed. I expected to like it but never thought I'd be impressed. I am impressed. I will provide details when and if we return. The if is still in play.
 
There have been reports of 8 ft of snow in your driveway; Big Red was last seen hitchhiking to warmer weather, and the local bird flock has filed a complaint related to empty bird feeders.
No estimates yet on spring thaw timing. Have fun on your travels. :rolleyes:
