Just don't be like this guy

 

Word!

 

It would be nice to have a little space in there. 30” might be a little much but it’s so annoying so many expect you to remove the tailgate vs being able to close it

 

This actually just popped in the FB group today. First time I've seen a Yoho (like mine) in an 8ft ford bed. I could park a monkey in there!

 

Or two older CT90s

 

HAHAHAHA. Thanks for sharing that. I'm always watching my jacks, even on my Taco, and they aren't 4 feet behind the camper. Departure angle is always on my mind.

 

I would have been pure sick after that

 

Same. I'll keep the 450 as a street queen. Can't really air one down anyhow with the commercial tires they have to run. Not about to drop another 30-50k to run super singles. That money will go towards a nice enclosed the motos and sxs will live in.

 

I've been watching LMTV camper vids. I found a titled 97 with trailer and extra set of wheels/tires(it was a fire station truck). I want to go check that thing out so bad Would be an insane camp rig

 

problem is insuring anything over 14k GVWR. Have to do commercial or commercial for personal use, in most states. I don't want to spend 5-10k per year to insure a truck. We planned F550 originally, but chassis cabs are a no go in that regard.

 

2026 order banks opened in May, actually (stupid early). We are waiting til Oct to order, cause we didn't want to have a truck payment until spring, hopefully. That's when our Motos will be fully paid back. Average is around 6 months from order, could be shorter, could be longer, so Oct gives us some insurance it won't show up TOO early.

As for the Taco, it's just that rear diff issues. I just got pinged by my mechanic (who is actually on his way to race the Reno to Vegas), he said his shop finally got the parts and he is trying to make sure my 3rd is ready for pickup tomorrow. I need to get it installed and get the 500 mile breakin done before I leave next Friday morning for the dunes. it's gonna be tight, assuming I can get it tomorrow. If not, I'll be driving my parents Silverado, or my sister's Raptor, no camper though. I'll have to tent it.

 

Here they are tagged/insured as a RV Don't even need a CDL

 

Used to be, if you took a truck bed camper and bolted it to a truck it could legally be titled as an RV. Now they won't do that. You'd have to build an actual habitat that was permanently mounted and have it titled as RV. Then, yeah, you'd be fine on insurance. Absolutely matters what state you're in. CDL though, yeah, that doesn't matter at all. I can drive an 18 wheeler if I wanted, as long as it was 100% for personal use. But I'd be paying the insurance for it. I have a friend that runs a semi for 5th wheel towing. The truck is from the 80s I believe, but well maintained. It's around 6 or 7K for them to insure per year. but yeah, no CDL needed.

 

That's crazy. I checked on insurance here and it was less than $100 a month full coverage. I want to say a bathroom, bed, and cooking is what constitutes a RV here.

 

Same here, but it must be permanently mounted and re-titled as an RV. Until re-titled, it's crazy $$$.

 

Ah, I'm not sure if it can be removable or not here. I would be fine with a permanent mount.


This one is cool as shit though. Pretty cool vids too. He's impressive with his ideas.

Just did 65miles on the Klx this morning. Went and picked up a pair of Alpinestars gloves off FB marketplace for $20 bucks brand new. Crazy deal.

 

Nice score
