Iggy's $1 Taco

No major updates, but I had a chance to do something small to fix something that has been bugging me every time I camp.

I have a camp table and when I setup the stove I always have to add a few rocks around the corners to level it out. Having the stove level isn't a big deal but with the griddle all the oil or grease moves to one side along with whatever I'm cooking.

I drilled a few holes, added some nutzerts and now I have four swiveling adjustable feet!

 

How do you like that stove? I’ve been look at them.

 

These stoves are impressive. We run them on commercial river trips, use them 100 days a year, and hard. Some are 20+ years old, and still work great.

 

It's solid. Never had any issues. The burners are hot, so I always have them turned down almost to off so it doesn't use a lot of gas. Spendy, but you won't ever need another stove again.

 

Excited to see more updates on this pop up!

 

Are their any threads dedicated to the camper setup? It sounds like you may be putting them on the market?

Was about to pull the trigger on a habitat... would be interested to here / see more about them.

@Iggy

 

We are looking to bring these to market one way or another. No details yet, but I'm working on it as we speak.

 

Gotcha, thanks ... looks like a sweet setup. Someone needs to compete with AT and the habitat lol!

 

Connectors on connectors. Finally have a way to liquid fill small propane tanks for the heater free at work!

 

I almost bought one of those adapters. How does it work?

 

It works really well! I got the other adapter so I can fill from the liquid valve on he forklift tanks.

The trick is you also need some curved surgical needle pliers. I’ll show you how to do it.

 

id be interested as well

 

Where did you get those feet for the stove? I have little shims I made but that's a better solution.

thanks

I tried to PM so I thought I would try this. can you please provide the contact info for the tent portion of the camper? I have a quote from the camper manufacturer that doesn't include the tent.

Thanks!,
John

 

I made it. Currently there’s no tent manufacturer. I’ve said it before, the manufacture that made mine and @Overlanerd and a few others does not have a complete product yet. You will have make significant changes or take it back to them to get issues sorted out. So far all of the campers they have made are all different in the details which affect how the campers fabric attaches.

 

Thanks for clarifying

 

@Iggy, you may have noticed, but it looks like you've got an upcoming competitor...

Just thought you should know. My intent is certainly not to steer anyone away from this, as I would still prefer your design, materials, etc over that. But it might not hurt to move things along a little quicker.

 

Sub'd to this build because someone posted it on Hondo's page too.

 

Believe that I've figured out who is fabricating the topper. What is the status of contacting them?
