I haven't pursued the idea beyond the initial thinking. However, I think I will soon be doing a lot of repairs or a rebuild of the PUP (assuming I keep her and don't replace). If/When I do the repairs/rebuild, I'm definitely going to figure out a good way to give room for thicker mattresses...

We have never used the shower in the PUP and have very rarely used the toilet. As a matter of fact, I am considering removal of both soon.

Did you take the cover off while it was running and leaking? If its like mine, after it runs for a bit in hot humidity, I can see the water blowing around in the unit if it's not properly leveled. [2C]

Honestly, I wouldn't worry about it. Just keep a set of jumper cables handy (I always do anyway) and start it up every now and then. Worst comes to worst, you could steal the battery from your PUP to crank the truck in an emergency. I did that once when my battery gave out on a trip. It got...

I have the same issue. My rooftop unit is a Carrier unit. I have found that it is very picky on being level. If the PUP isn't perfectly level, then when the A/C builds up condensation inside, it "splashes" into the vent and eventually runs over into the PUP. I can look up through the filters...

Thanks for the replies and ideas. I'll certainly do a thread on here if/when I start the project. I am leaning toward doing this project for a couple reasons. First, I love the PUP and would love to have the opportunity to do the mods that I would like and end up with the "perfect for me"...

My PUP is showing her age and the effects of the humid southern climate. I already had to replace a section of the floor and now another spot is getting pretty soft. I also have several wall sections that have come loose from the floor & I suspect that rot is part of the culprit. The...

We frequent our local State Park (Fontainebleau State Park). It is only about 20-30 from home. We'll be there the 4th of July weekend, for example. There are 4 other State Parks within an hour or so of home. Between these 4 we spend most of our camping. When you can usually only go on...

I have an EZ-up that we put over the picnic table. It works great if there is not enough shade or if we're concerned with stuff falling out of the trees. I'm considering getting a 2nd one just for additional shade. I, also, have a hexagon screen tent that we use if there are bug issues. It...

I have 5 of these (or very similar ones), from Academy: We used to use bag chairs, but found that we were replacing them often because they just didn't hold up. We've had these a couple years and they seem to be holding up good. They fold flat; so they're easy to stack and transport; plus...

I'm thinking it is just the "resort" type campgrounds which are more set up for large MHs and TTs. I haven't run into too many other types that limit PUPs.

Nice choice of car!! I'm currently working on restoring a '66 Mustang (289ci/3 sp auto). Also have a '72 waiting in line. I have a Facebook Page following the restoration (slow going). PM me if you want a link to it (Cooldad's Mustang Restorations).

Gulf State Park - Orange Beach / GulfShores, Alabama It is very convenient to the beach (walking distance or short drive); but, not camping on the beach. They have their own beach area with a large pavilion. Other amenities: Pool Tennis Courts Hiking/Biking Trails Geocaching (day & night...

Here are the instructions from my Tekonsha Primus: Adjusting the Power to the Trailer Brakes (Prior to setting Boost) Once the control has been securely mounted within the 0 to 70-degree range, it is necessary to set the power needed to stop the trailer during a braking event. 1. Connect...

The first time and periodically, I set mine as follows: Pulled the trailer and stopped repeatedly for a few minutes bit to get it warmed up. Once the trailer brakes were warmed up, I drove about 10-15 miles an hour and then adjusted the setting I set mine where when using the manual engage...
