    This is so cool! I am so happy for you guys and can't wait to see the bumper on the truck! :thumbsup: Hopefully you have better and warmer weather than we did. Welcome to the SOS group I really like Eddy's products right @ovrlndkull.

    Side note: I already texted the dealer about our condensation issues when sleeping without the AC. I am hoping a roof vent fan may solve the issue if you have any other or an additional idea please speak up

    #sosconceptscrew Welcome to the crew! Great build quality and company. You'll be amazed at what comes out of that modest shop. @EddyRRT is an awesome guy too! Can't wait to see the bumper on the truck!

    That's not shabby at all. Loved our RPOD, great little camper. Still gotta get rid of my RDOME and the storage cover for it lol. Towing though mpg wasn't never going to be good enough as the difference was minimal between it and going bigger.

    We love the RDOME like adding a room on. Pretty good at defeating little, flying, biting, stinging, six legged, insects!

    Yep, we found it not a good fit for us due to our dogs but great otherwise.

    I've heard that filling some socks with kitty litter and keeping them in the trailer with you will help absorb condensation! Worth a shot.

    My wife picked up this Damp-Rid stuff from Amazon. It's supposed to collect the condensation. Not sure how long it lasts, we're hoping for at least one more weekend before it gets damn cold.

    This Damp-rid stuff is awesome. It's essentially the same stuff as the silica packets that come with stuff. I use it where I store the pew pews

    Yep I put one in for last winter and have one in now. There’s just not enough ventilation while we’re sleeping we wake up with confensation all over the walls. I may have to go with a roof vent with a fan

    Joe you're welcome to sit wherever you'd like but it's going to be cool and I can't run the AC unless I plug in to regular power it won't run off the batteries. :frusty:

    Thanks I think I like working on this more than the truck. If we have time I'll show you all I added and fabricated unless you already saw it in here. It's self sustaining and did well off road but I'd like to change up the suspension some and box at least part of the frame

    If it rains I can throw up the pop up and put a couple of wall sections up and you can sit high and dry. I just cut Lloyd his tubing and put it in my tool box I'm just trying to be ready. It'll be Friday evening before we get there hopefully about an hour before dark or so but we'll see

    Yes I'd like to discuss that I have been looking at the Timbren axelless axels. They even have them with a 2" lift. I already acquired a set of wheels to match the truck they just need to be cleaned up and painted. As usual it'll take a bit of thinking as I'd like to raise it some but I don't want to go so high it's too hard to get into. We will have to deffinately talk

    I hate it when folks don't live up to their deadlines. Hell I've had to pull over nighters several times in the past to ensure committments were met. A happy customer leads to more customers as well
