Haha! Not this guy. Experienced Sprinter roof snow remover.
I tend to rake it off to the sides of the van, then move it away with a shovel.Haha! Not this guy. Experienced Sprinter roof snow remover.
I use a step ladder and shovel the snow of to the side. Finish off with a broom. As you can see I tend to let it accumulate.
wish i could remember who had the one leaa sprinter bumper stickers...
Hey @eric strt6
if you were to buy another truck camper what would it be?
I’m shopping for one so I can haul a tool trailer and build/live full time out of.
all depends on the truck long bed vs short bed. Srw vs drw. Keep in mind that the mfg weight sticker is going to be 750 to 1000 pounds lighter than reality. Now is a good time to buy used. I like Lance as they are easy for me to work on. I got mine used from Big Country RV in Bend
If I was going to live in it I want something with at least a dinette slide out. I do like my Lance 1062 but you need a long bed dually to carry the weight.
Then it comes down to tire load capacity. Subtract the scaled weight of the rear axle from the tire capacity.x 2. That number guides you as to what size camper you can load. Don't forget to add in trailer tongue weight.
I have 7350 lbs and a long bed to play with so most of anything will work. I was asking if there was anything new and improved out there other than what we’ve owned in the past, my search is pretty much down to a lance, arctic fox, host or eagle cap
I would look at a Lance 1062
You look at Bigfoots?
Interesting concept.

Damn, I'm disappointed that you have to tow it to the water. I totally thought it was drivable and you just drive out to sea.Interesting concept.

Still pretty cool
A few but slim pickens
Fix one problem and discover another.
I bought a used Malone Kayak trailer. The wiring was shot (major pinches and shorts) so I replaced the wiring harness. Thats when I found out most of the bulbs were bad. Fixed that but the marker lights weren't working. That's when I noticed that none of the truck camper marker lights worked but the turn brake and reverse lights do work. Had to think about it then it dawned on me the trailer and camper marker light run off the same fuse/relay in the truck. Now I just have to track that blow fuse/relay down. I have spares for both.

It was a blown 30a fuse for the trailer maker lights in the power box under the hood of the F350
still need to tidy up the wiring with some zip ties but everything now works

Had to contact Malone trailers. The guy I bought it from never put on the. Vin and tire loading sticker or kept the certificate of origin. Luckily Malone can use the axle serial# to track the Vin#. I justhadto provide a photo of the axle serial number and a copy of the bill of sale. As soon as the stickers get here I can register and plate the trailer. I'm going to mount a Thule cargo box in the center and take the oem kayak off and replace them with j mounts. It will be nice to not store any gear in the camper or car trunk any more.

So today was test drive day with the loaded Kayak trailer. Tight turns on city streets, speed bumps and 65 MPH on the highway. It tracked perfectly. I am so stoked.
loaded up all the kayak gear into the cargo box. There is still plenty of room for waders, fishing gear, and float tubes. If need be we still have the front cargo hatch storage on the kayaks.
If this was only on one of the 4wd platforms they do of this van..... it would be sooooo "FUCK YES TO THIS!!!"

One of the construction workers has a home built "teardrop" trailer made from a Harbor Freight trailer. Pretty creative.
This topic was in a convo the other day, a couple years ago it was huge youtube trend, peeps by the masses were running out to HF freight, buying this 1720lb capacity trailer for $600 bucks then investing thousands of dollars and thousands of pounds resulting in these things absolutely disintegrating on the highways and roads. After hitting 9 states in the RV last year you will almost certainly find someone with one of these in an rv park that is trying to patch it back together to get it back home or just junk it and buy a real RV. The wheel bearings on these trailers are a far cry from a bearing at all.
Anything from Harbor Freight is only a crude simulacrum of what it is described as.
