I got the cheapest Harbor Freight hitch rack. Works fine but I did modify it a bit. It stuck out too far from the back bumper and when I slid the rack farther into the hitch, it hit the spare tire. I Cut off some of the rack hitch tube and drilled a new hole for the hitch bolt. I also got...

Ran my flippac in some heavy wind out on the NV desert. Enough wind to lift and fling my old heavy camp table more then a couple yards. Handled it well but just wondering if it would hold did impact sound sleeping. Faced a couple heavy Tstorms in Nebraska in my new Palomino Bronco and slept...

Hi Bucky... I did not notice any change in the ride of the Silverado with the Super springs without the camper mounted. With the camper mounted no real changer either except reduced roll/sway in corners. Truck handled very well. We do lots of back roads all without any issues. Tim

HI Bucky; I have used Super Springs on my S-10 and now on my Silverado 1500. I bought the 2009 1500 used this summer and picked up a Palomino Bronco in Indiana. The truck had the HD towing option. The stock springs carried the load ok but I went ahead and installed the super springs because...

Had the opportunity to do a run to Monte Cristo Mts. NV Was going to be a one night stop and then on to another area. Too much to see so ended up spending two nights there. Spooked up about a dozen Big Horn that later showed for an great visit silhouetted along the ridge at sunset. some...

Seems like we had more problem with head issues when we had our Chevy S-10 and FWC. Smaller door then the standard truck camper. When we had the FP not so much head banging as scraping the back when getting in. Both of us are 6ft + so figured that was a given. Now we have a full size Chevy...

Flippac SOLD Thanks for all the response on the FP. I is now sold and mounted and on its way to Wyoming.

Flippac last seen heading northeast up to Wyoming on a white Tacoma... More adventures planned for it. I head east Tuesday to pick up another pop top for my new truck.

OK...!! almost ready for rain. The SLO rain fly came in today :wings: so I try it out. Made for an interesting tryout since I had to work in the mud and snow that was left over from our last storm here in Reno. It worked so well I had to try it out twice...

White or gray will work for me. Of course I have a white truck. My plan would be to add a camouflage design to the fly with spray on fabric paint. Hard to get even close to stealthy with a white truck and blue tarp. I have used the spray on fabric paint on a couple of camping items and it...

I would be interested. I kicked around the idea of a better fly ie. one that would have more venting, would be light weight and pack well and was cheaper then the current one for the FP. I worked out some ideas with different types of Tyvek. Also found some "seam seal" used in sails that...

FWIW.. Found this posted today on CL. I do not know who is selling it and other then what was posted in the ad know nothing else about it. sale-gmwtv-1739420517@craigslist.org 1989 FOUR WHEEL RANGER II EXCELLENT COND EVERYTHING WORKING, FITS RANGER PICKUP AND OTHER SMALL TRUCKS. 3'-3" at...

Thanks abeaudin1971 and springsyeti for the reply. Will be waiting for the pics. The material I had planned to use for the fly failed my destruction test so back to a new search. I did find a nice 190T nylon 12X12 tarp with a 1,000 mm polyurethane waterproof coating for $25 which may work...

springsyti... I understand the FP fly is designed to be put on when the top is closed and then it is pulled over when it is opened. When you put on your tarp do you do it the same way as the fly? Is it very hard to put on the tarp with one person? Thanks

DIY FP rainfly Hey Younggunner.. I don't get out to your area much unless its a bike ride for a burger at Middlegate. Come to think of it I may have been there too often since they don't even ask when we come in and start grillin' the cheeseburger! Anyway the FP is on a 03 Chevy S-10...

Has anyone made their own rainfly for the FP? Seem like I read somewhere that some owners have used a tarp instead of the fly sold by FP. I got my FP last summer and since I live in Reno and most of the time I camp in desert and dry mts. so far no reason for a fly. Now however, I am planning...
