WOW.....So O.K., I want one!

Barstow is a drive off. Good to deal with these days. Be sure you first stop at the gate office to fill out some pass forms, about 15 to 20 min. I watched Barstow close today and there was a lot of really good deals, you my friend were right at the top of them. Nice going. Nice Truck!

I got to play with one of those things. Everything on the inside I thought was way cool. The seats are that comfortable, the dash layout is much better, the roll cage is just to cool that there are no words for it. The outside looks.................well, that take a bit of getting use to, But...

Sounds like you are doing just find. It's just Herlong is not at all like every other base I have ever worked with. I had never heard of the 48Hrs clearance paperwork for background check. Hill, Barstow, Fort Collins, Reilly and every other base you just make a phone appointment and check in at...

Hope this all works out for you, dot every i, confirm everything in advance regarding the pickup, by phone and by fax/email. Last year I won a lot from Herlong, after jumping through more hoops than I knew there were, with Herlong rules that only Herlong has, the fiasco got so bad that I had to...

Well I was starting to think that I was all alone out here. Things have really started to get strange ever since around last June/July. Is it that GL is pushing info to the public so hard, or is something else going on that I don't understand. I guess time will tell.

BUREAUCRATS.......You just got to love them !

Welcome from the other side of the hill !

Thanks berserker, I had not seen that article, way cool. You are right about one thing, the $$$$, I have and will have more than $ 500 in Advil alone. Don't you just love it!.

Desert Demon, Good project you have in mind. The two schools of thought are, (1) drive the camper and tow the gear. (2) drive with the gear and tow the camper. One big advantage of number 2 is when camp has been set up, you still have the truck to use, and won't have to depend on a...

Bighurt, Sorry I can't comply with your request as well as I would like. The Deuce is mine, but most of the photos of the build up are lock up in a dead computer. The M925A2 belongs to Wolf Pack, who builds some of the coolest things you ever did see, but never takes any...

Steelwarrior, I am with John 100% on this one. Always have more than you need. I have a 4000/3500 Generator. When I am in the field I mostly use the Gen for an electric chain saw, however when running the gen, I also am charging camper batteries, truck batteries, portable batteries or any...

(Tamangel) Mike, good questions on the camper types. As for the deployment of a Trailmanor, it is hard to describe in print. However, if you jump on to You tube and look up " putting up a Trainmanor trailer " there are a number of quick vids that will show you better than I could ever tell...

John, I like the access door on the side of the bed. I was going to do that to my Deuce, but ended up changing types of camper. The job came out very good. That will prove to be a real plus in days to come. Kind of makes you admire a drop side, however they look a bit odd and are not as...

Hi Guys, was glad to see that this thread was still alive and going. Good to see John is still at it, and so many of you still have the interest in a campers camper, or BOV, or whatever. I have been off planet for a while, however not to the cause. I did get the Deuse (Teotwawki Explorer) pretty...
