Truck Campers Only, w/ an Overland & Off-roading theme

[Briski]

Nice set of steps. Like you said, it’s a small price in the big picture to make it work the way you want!

Cheers

All right! So if my $459 folding hitch step wasn’t expensive enough, how about another $189 for a 4th top step?

After getting the ST installed we found the extreme height of the Tremor on 37’s caused us to set the Easy Hitch Step at its lowest setting to make the first step doable…. Because the ST has a basement (huge sliding drawer) this made the last step way too long. The solution? Well Easy Hitch Step makes a bolt on 4th step that lives right up with the others and happens to land just below the door/ drawer but allows us to get into the camper with a normal final step.

So for $650 I now have the ideal steps for my camper. Joking aside it’s a shit ton of money but, compared to why I have into try camper and truck it’s barely a blip. It is absolutely 100% with it. It’s the perfect solution and my wife loves it. It makes the camper much more accessible and honestly safe getting in and out. It optional because most people wouldn’t need the massive height that these all afford. It also doesn’t affect clearance whatsoever and the hitch folds out of the way just like it always did. Complete non issue.

The steps now are at the following heights.

1st Step- 15.5”
2nd Step- 23”
3rd Step- 30.5”
4th Step- 38”
Camper floor- 47.5”

Basically beside the first step the rest are mostly normal step height 8-ish inches. I wasn’t being real exact with my measurements but you get the idea.

Better tune those steps to be the exact same in relation to each other or you might take a big spill, drunk or sober

Exactly, it’s a lot of money but we need to be able to get in and out. Super happy with how it turned out. Thanks for the positive comments.

Lol, I meant the ones on the truck. If you've ever tripped on a stair, it's because it was a quarter of an inch or more difference between that step and the last couple.

Lol, next he will need a handrail.

Ahahahahahahahaha. I almost just spit out my chili. I didn’t even notice. Hey if I’m going to be mobility limited I’m going to look good doing it!!

Better get started on a smaller "tramper" sticker for the chair

I do, but it is dark outside. Got the truck back after sunset today. Hopefully, the suspense does not keep you awake too long tonight

Oh no way? My timing is impeccable!!! I’ll be waiting with bated breath.

So Chris was finding himself running short on power during heavy work days in his ST…. He is doing some kind of upgrade to the power or solar part of his build. Not sure yet. I am looking forward to seeing it in action!

Ahhh, gotcha.

I am trying to figure out how to mount my 100w solar panels from renogy to my travel trailer. Has one of those epdm/rubber type roofs and I am not sure how much I trust it to not pull up if I glue rails down to it. Don't want to screw through it either, but I think that'll be the route I end up taking
Barely understand solar to begin with. Roofing, I get. Electrical/solar, not as much...

VHB tape, my friend. VHB tape. No glue needed. That stuff is dope. Clean the surface, apply the tape. Pull off the cover strips from the backside and attach rails or whatever is needed. I used this to install two steel brackets to my roof to secure my high-performance Starlink. Once it was all done, there was zero movement possible. Those steel brackets are not going anywhere. Now a steel cable with a lock secures the Starlink dish from falling off or theft.

The dish is attached to the roof with 4 x 110lb magnets. I "glued" 4 square steel plates to the roof using VHB tape. The steel plates do not move at all when I prey the magnets of them.
