I was just poking around at the airstream site and noticed their
"basecamp" model.  Cute li'l thing isn't it?  Anobody here have one?

Drop me a note or give me a call and we'll arrange a get-together...

I am pretty new at this fulltime living in Montana fithwheel , as I
stated elsewhere.    Also I posted that we are quite happy with our
rig.  The recent events somewhat  challenged  this opinion of  mine.

I seek plans or a builder to make a poorman's RV power system.

I'm looking for a non-cabover truck camper and have searched the
internet with no luck.  Just looking for something about 7' wide and
10-11' long with a double bed across the front, a mini dinetter for

canopies getting ripped off by wind?   You cannot retract them unless
you pull in your slideouts.  Any helpful comments?   Well, at least
