Thanks ASD Dad, I will give that a try. I still may want to completely disable this "nanny"!

Hi All, How does one program the ECU so the throttle will respond if there is a bit of wheel spin? With the slightest wheel spin the engine will not RPM over an idle. This is a very dangerous feature when pulling a trailer and trying to start /merge from an incline onto a highway. I'm not trying to roast the tires or build a drift van for Chris Forsberg, just want the throttle to respond when needed.

Found it. This photo is before I started the camper conversion.

The rack I use is a Cycle Country Wedge-Lok 50-0500. It flexed more than I liked so I added two 2" x 2" angle supports from the front to the center tube and a couple of eyes. Two of the tie down straps I use are attached to the chain holes in the hitch. Made it a very robust rack. You can see a photo under "Laharview Farm Camper Build" post #18. Could not copy it to insert here... Slides into the hitch.

Read about others using the sliders so I added a sliding tray under the bed to stow the stove. The white pipe holds the side door screen and Fiamma Awning tool. Ordered a rear screen from Skeeter Beater today. Going to modify it a bit, will post when done.

One year later back in Ellensburg, WA for the last show of the season.

Very nice! Have a great trip.

Have the Coleman. Rarely use it but (no pun intended) works fine and easy to dump.

To date this year have spent 44 days camping and leaving Sunday for 10 days down the Oregon Coast. I consider mine a simple build (no plumbing, built in stove, etc.) and had planned on hitting a hotel every few days. So far we have not! Need to lose the full time job...

Hi, I used Rattle Trap Extreme, then a combination of foam board and closed cell foam, then finished off with Refletex. rear door panels ans slider come off easy for access. I did not (and would not) foam the archway. You will muck up any chance of ever getting to the wiring or adding wiring. I also added the Rattle Trap under the front and slider thresholds.

Looks great. Mine also is a simple build with a bed platform. Have done several 6-10 day outtings solo or with my wife and no issues!

Looking good. Keep up on the photos.

Hi Thomas, Sorry for the delay, been on the road! I used the factory threaded holes about halfway up and cut 4 short pieces from aluminum angle stock to support the cabinet bottom. And for the sides I inserted 4 - 5/16" Riv-Nuts (2 on each side). Also a bit of aluminum stock in the middle to attach the shelf. Very solid and no rattles. Best Regards, Mike

Got to believe half that is labor and profit margin. Would be nice to know how much is custom fabrication vs Titan parts. So far just the door Skeeter Beaters, CRL vent window, and full slider door screen.

Welcome! These are great tow rigs. I haul around antique John Deere Tractors weighing in at about 8,000 pounds with no worries...

Spent two weeks and 1,800 miles going through Idaho and Eastern Oregon. Only thing to add is a screen for the back door. Photo below is a BLM camp site on the John Day River between Mitchell and Ashworth Oregon in the middle of 45 miles of single track dirt road with two stream crossings. Weather was dry however if it rained 4 wheel drive (or chains I had) would have been required. Got to look into the parts needed to convert to 4 X 4.

Four days on the road and all is working out nice. The door screen is good however I will add magnets to the left instead of the stick on Velcrow. Only had noseeums (seeums?) one afternoon and it blocked them. We feed ours a little better in the West so they are a bit fatter! Will be home May 14th.

Will do. I should be handing out NV brochures and getting a commission. 2nd night on the road and this thing is a magnet at the campgrounds!

Loaded and leaving for a two week trip in the morning. Heading to Idaho and then the weather will dictate our route. This will be the maiden voyage after completing the build. I'm sure I'll find things to add/modify but she's done enough for now.

Welcome!

I looked at the Eurocampers but got stopped by the cost. The Bug Off was $59.95 and the site has a 10% off coupon so that covered the freight. Had the magnets on hand but they would run $8.00 or so. Really like the spring tension rod, fits the door opening nicely. And so far the center opening magnets close fine every time. Thought is was worth a try and will see how it holds up.

Hi radin2son, Yes. Only takes a couple of minutes. Already thinking on how make a internal screen. This will do for now.

Added a screen to the slider door opening. Looked at buying the material from Skeeter Beater but do not have the required sewing skills. So I bought a Instant Bug Off Screen in the 60" width and 80" length used in residential sliding door applications and opens in the center, www.bugoffscreen.com. It comes with a spring loaded rod that fit the top nicely. I put the rod in the lower pocket and the extra material seals up the top fine. I used the factory Velcro mounts for the left side. Then trimmed the right side a couple of inches long and used magnets to hold the screen. Works fine and doesn't take much to install (maybe a step stool). Along with the Skeeter Beaters for the front doors and the opening Drivers side CRL window I think I am set.

Sweet!

Laharview. My place is on a ridge overlooking the Puyallup Valley. At the head of the valley is Mt. Rainier, a not quite dormant volcano. So a Lahar is a type of mudflow or debris flow composed of a slurry of pyroclastic material, rocky debris, and water. The material flows down from a volcano, typically along a river valley. View means I will be able to sit on me deck with a beverage and watch the disaster. We have a very high tech warning system in place, tested monthly, so hopefully the valley can be evacuated in advance of an event. Also have a small Poultry operation, hence "Laharview Farm Camper Build".
