Yeah, I'm surprised there are not more options for a camper box that would just slap down on a flatbed truck or trailer. I've seen folks drop a truck slide in camper onto the front of a big gooseneck trailer and load ATVs or SXSs behind it. But all of those slide in camper units are designed to...

I would love that, but all of the one's I've found weigh in at something like 9500 pounds. I'm thinking of cutting one of the walls out of the lighter box and fabricating a slide out of Unistrut. To make my own slide out that does not add 7000 pounds of dead weight to the back of my truck...

That's pretty much what I was thinking, but now I'm looking at one of these 14 foot shelters, which seem perfect for what I need.

That must drive you crazy. I "think" what I've decided is to get the front drive components sorted, then I think I'll give a custom HVAC box a whack. I'm hoping to remove the stock unit, and build a custom (likely larger) metal box that holds a vintageaire (or similar) heat-air-defrost unit...

The hazards in my lmtv are activated by a toggle switch in the panel, which I'm assuming gets power all the time. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think changing the power feed to the switch would affect that. @dmetalmiki For me, my issue is not with forgetting and leaving the lights on. It's...

Yes, but at least it's possible to have tube bent to make it work. I've been looking for weeks and nobody actually has had the parts in stock. Who knows if they ever really will. At least if this bracket shows up, I think it could be made to work. If I wait for the other bracket and never get...

I'm looking to do something similar to my lmtv. My plan was to disconnect the always on power feeding the light switch ("F" on the cannon connector in my case), and replace it with a switched power source. I could then leave my light switch "on" all the time, and the lights would power on and...

Sure enough. That bracket goes right where the charge air lines are. Maybe they can be moved?

Well. Crap.

FWIW, I was able to find and order the crank pulley from my local dealer. Should be able to pick it up in a couple of days. AAAAnd. I found a bit of a different bracket for the A/C Compressor, not sure it'll work, but it looks like it should and it specifically says it's for the 3116. And...

Yeah. I think I want a 14 footer now too.

Man @TomTime, the more I look at that the more I think that's exactly what I need.

That's pretty perfect and nice. Thanks for pointing that out. It is a bit bigger than the 280, I'm not sure why it weighs 1500 more pounds though. I looked at several of the expandable van bodies or containers, but they were all super heavy... way too much to be lugging around on a lmtv.

I've found a ton of the 250's but scarce few of the 280's around. I worried about the weight of that m109 myself. Ideally, what I think I'd want is something like the s-280 shelter, but a few feet longer, to maximize the floorspace inside by allowing it to overhang the rear just a bit. I'm...

Thanks. I'm looking at all kings of stuff that might be made to work. I thought about lopping the axles of a camping trailer and sitting on there, but I don't think that would be rugged enough to survive actual off-road use. Conex trailers seem to be just too heavy to be practical. For my...

I thought of pulling a campground during late hours. Or sneaking into a pre-dawn hunting area. It'd still be noisy though.

Oh man. I like the camera idea. I might have to hack my remote spotlights for something like that.

I've been watching the auctions pretty closely. All of the recent ones have been pretty clapped out and banged up. I was hoping to find a decent one from another member here so I could stop watching and waiting for a good one to hit the auctions.

I like that controller. I think I have another style. I wonder if they are interchangeable? Also, this style also has a locking safety switch for the visible setting. that control if from this kit.

I suspect there's a story there I'd like to hear. Also, good to know if I ever need to make that call for a backcountry air rescue.
