Trying to get a nice camper for my taco

My Turd Gen has been problematic but I'm not in a position to trade or sell it right now. We have a little one on the way and money is finding its way to fund other priorities. May trade if/when the new Ranger (2019?) looks good! Will probably give the Ranger a year or two to see how it fares. The new ranger will not look like the international version, articles have stated Ford is going to have redesigned body styling for the North American version.

Time will tell. But now we're getting off topic.

 

Hey cblow5, what kind of rack set-up do you have on top of your Leer? I'm curious about the rack and how your awning mounts up.

 

What is the max height in the middle on those aliners?

We looked at them 7 years ago and passed. Can't do a tent style pop-up, want A/C and security for dog. Kind of back to kicking the idea around, or going to an R-pod.

 

Casita!



got shower, toilet, hot water, fridge, cozy sleeping for 2-3, 2 burner stove, air conditioning, furnace, all in a 3500 lb gross, 2300 lb net 16 or 17' package. tows easily behind a tacoma v6 4x4, you hardly know its there.

 

Very nice. I will look at the Prinsu Toprac. I do have the Yakima rails on my Leer so the Toprac should bolt up. Is that a 6' or 8' ARB? Your set-up looks good!
The Cabrac doesn't work for me as I have an Access Cab. Thanks for posting up.
EDIT: looks like a 6' ARB.

 

Ha! Kodiak engineering

 

I just ordered a snugtop super sport. Should be ready in a couple more weeks. I throw up a picture when it's on. I was torn between the leer 100 xq and the snug top super sport went with the snug top because that's what I had on my old 2005 tacoma and loved the look of it. Kick myself for getting ride of that truck now I'm trying to get my 16 to look as good as that one did.

 

Alvord?

 

See what ya get for thinking

 

those slideins that fit a tacoma are REALLY tiny inside, just sayin... and even the ultralight FourWheelCamper ones are pushing the Tacoma's max payload, not leaving much left. We looked at a bunch of those.

 

Nice, I have almost the same unit but w/ the front deck instead of enclosed storage - haven't pulled it with the Taco yet though. Looks good.

 

Did you have the trailer out this past weekend, I'm pretty sure I saw you I was headed over to Tepui to get sheets for my RTT

 

Taxa Outdoors Tiger Moth

 

Bought with a Range Rider topper had never heard of them but it's a topper and have an air bedz in it. The wife and I have slept in it quite a bit. Not the tallest to sit up but like the looks of the clean line rather than a raised topper.
Working on a basket system to work with the mattress getting measurements to use with KB Voodoo basket system. Will have pictures when done.

 

last time it was out was for the Golden State Star Party at the end of June.... and next time its out, I'll be heading north to watch the Eclipse in eastern Oregon.

 

I was in your shoes, I was looking for so damn long that I was about to buy new... But after 6-7 months of looking around here and there, I finally found a used one for a steal.

I just got it all sealed up ( water proof ), and spliced the brake light to my shells brake light.. After all the mods I did, I spent a total of 95$ to get it in perfect shape( which includes the original cost of the shell which was 50$ ).
If you wait and look around for a few months, you will find what you're looking for. If you want it shiney and new, just know those things are expensive. Expect to pay 1.5-2k.

Camp-Inn Raindrop is my style.

 

I'm thinking about a Forest River R-Pod. A 20fter empty is a little over 2600#. They seem to be pretty popular in the mountain regions.
