To open your stove vent... just drop in any rv dealer and ask them if they have any of the manual awning metal pull rods laying around. That's the perfect tool for that job but noone can figure it out since manual awnings are basically obsolete.

Loved the video! On your step out in the bathroom, I would make that whole section a platform that would hide that bottom drawer and make the top of the platform a lift up with struts, that way you could still use the drawer and create a new storage space. Please show us an update when you get it done with it!

We have owned six truck campers in five years and have never used the black tank saniflush system. We use Dawn and TwentyMuleTeamBorax to keep the black tank working like new we have owned four Arctic Fox campers and one Adventurer and one Northern Lite and have never had a problem with the black tanks. We now have a AF 1150 now which is gorgeous that we purchased ten days ago. A fox is a great camper enjoy.

great review. Thx. I like the moto mounts on the RV. Would love to see a vid of your mounts and suspension leveling. Motos are heavy. JUst curious what mods you made to accommodate.

While i dont own a truck camper, in 2015, under the advice my rv tech friend, i purchased a northwoods Arctic Fox travel trailer, its about to turn 10 yrs old, and im still impressed with the quality of this trailer, ive used it so much in 10 years, even living in it, for over 1 year.. other than replacing the stereo once, it's been flawless

.

Excellent video! Yours is a newer version of ours. My wife and I bought a 2012 AF 865 last year. We love it! And bought it for that awesome panoramic view across the back as you pointed out. One of the first things I did was install that bar on the door as well. I also use that outdoor storage cubby above the water fill for my bag of tools, it is a great space. Very nicely done video.

Thank you for the video. Will the air conditioning work off of the solar? Or do you have to be plugged in to shore power or using the generator? If it doesn’t, is there an upgrade you can do for the air-conditioning to work off solar and batteries?

I was curious about any available space under the dinette seats. I am aware it converts into an additional sleeping area, is there storage space? Thanks!!

I would highly encourage you to look at a Bigfoot Truck Camper 25C10.6E

For the bathroom step, make a platform with feet on the drawer side and a hinge on the bathroom side that flips up toward the bathroom when you need to get in the drawers.

Couldn't you dry your bathroom out by pushing air from your maxx fan through the bathroom?

Loved this breakdown….we have had our 990 for a year and will be heading to Florida for the winter! Love your list of things you have used!

Thanks for all the honesty information

Your door window shade, is good old Lippert, and I have now gone through two sets, as both sets have warped from the sun. The blinds mounting bar (plastic) has warped n wont stay locked in. You can pop the shade out by flipping those tiny little sliders u see on the frame, (two on top n two on bottom of each window frame) the shade can be mounted upside down. It's identical in its top n bottom mounting bar. You can also adjust the tension to make the blind stay up! It's actually a very simple design n if you pop the blind out you'll see! Anyway, the mounting bars is what warped on me top n bottom 🙄, so those little slider clips wont hold the blind in place. Both windows in my door so that's 4 shades. I just bought magnetic shades to sticky mount on the window frame, hope they work. Anyway, If they only made the mounting bars out of aluminum the dang things wouldn't warp from the sun! So be glad yours at least haven't warped. And I wish my side awning was electric too 🫤. Yeah we all have the 'it's almost perfect' syndrome of our campers lol. 🍻

Looks very good. Enjoy.

Why, would they place a light controlling and awning controlling unit WAY UP above the entry door where you have to reach??????? Any lighting or awning control should be down a t chest level.

His volume is too low - no sound from his mic

BAD IDEA I do not think that’srecommended by the camper manufactures and hard on the camper bottom box structure sense there’s no support on back of truck and camper

Great video and info. on AF 865! Looks like you have the short box version of 865 (has generator) on a long box truck. Any issues or thoughts on this configuration if we do the same on our long box truck?

The "overflow" keep our secrets secrete. Technology and yankees will be the end of it all.

Excellent review and tour! Good pace, great narration with just enough details. After viewing your video (serval times) I actually modify/changed the site I had initially reserved to what I believe will be a better one from what I saw. Thank you Great Job.

I have an rv thats a 30 foot long drive. Would you think putting it on the front of what is basically a 1999 450.

I just gotta say it, your woman is amazing. Such great organizational skill. Love it, I am seriously considering this camper and you all have put in so much to make it better by a long shot. The Northwood company would do well to see what modifications you all have done and put that in as options. I have been on the fence about the oven though. I love baked goods so not having it would be hard for me. I am not up on the convections ones yet so I will have to investigate a bit more to see if that will do or not. Again thanks so much for putting this our there. This is one of the very best videos about living in a camper I have seen.

No what else works, a trailer.👍🏼 I also carry water, gas, chairs, etc. Using a trailer also takes some weight off the truck. It’s just easier to pull the weight rather than carrying it on the truck. I used to carry my bike on the back.

What an awesome video! 💥💫✨ I loved the steam engine train🚂 and the family day trip with the hike back down the log 🪵 flume! It was wonderful to see it (definitely through your eyes - I couldn’t do that 🤣). Such a beautiful family 🤩

The was great to see ✨ Such beautiful scenery & the experience with the crab 🦀 catching 😊

👏 Thank you so much for sharing your travels to Norway with us 🤩

So how big are you weight wise. I’ve been looking at one of these and I’m 6’ 295lbs. If you’re close to 250 I think I’ll be fine.

what a great little day trip, nothing like the old steam trains and making memories with the family, makes it that much more special, so happy for you guys, glad you had the opportunity to go spend time and do stuff and make memories for the grandbabies

Lol, got a kick out of that steam engine. Only see those in museums now-a-days. What a fun adventure. 🍻

Love It! 💥👊🏻💯

Great setup! Definitely see what you were talking about tonight @Nantahala Hideaway, stay safe, enjoy the ride 🤙🏻😎

Packed in like sardines.

Lovely to see the landscape, beautiful area. 🍻

New to camping and have a spot reserved there next month. Is there a spigot at the dump station where you can hook to for fresh water tank fill?

Check out of full video on Catching Crabs and Hiking in Norway, titled Typical Summer Things to Do in Kristiansand Norway

A good year of catching crabs in Norway.

I'm about 75 miles from ocean

Nice

You and your wife are at Oregon Inlet Campground in NC

Beautiful! 🍻

Cute woman🥰

You sure are cute!!

How loud is the AC? We rented a travel trailer recently and it couldn't carry on a conversation with the AC on! Also I might have missed it but what does this TC weigh? Finally, when it rains, how much do you hear it on the roof? Thanks!

thank u for the walk thru,,, I live near by and this really helped me zone in on which sites I would like.. now going to see your Live Oak walk thru

This is more like what not to do. U should be flushing the tank out n using a brush to clean out the sediment when u change the anode rod. And if u keep water in that tank all year around then every 6 months u should be doing a flush n anode rod change. This is why i hate suburban tanks, vs aluminium (Atwood) dometic tanks. They are more work to properly maintain. 🍻

The manual for the water heater says some leakage is normal.

We've been camping here since I was a young girl (I'm 40 now). I have such great memories here. Such a hidden gem!

Definitely going there. Thanks for the tour.
