Woody , about 10 years ago I took a screaming ride on my banshee out of rcho st. inez over to the coast and vowed to return and actually stay for more
that 5 minutes. What do you think of going in w a 1ton pickup w camper ?
Thanks

rocks??

Sheesh Woody! NOW look what you've done! Every cardon hugging lunatic and his friends are gonna' want to go down there. (Tongue firmly in cheek here
folks.... don't want anybody to get their panties in a wad!)
Bajalero, your one ton should do nicely, but the camper is a maybe. There are some rough spots in the road, off camber and rutted, just waiting to
launch your cab over over your cab, if you know what I mean. Slow and easy would be the key.
Once again, well done on the report and the photos Woody. "Good on 'ya, mate!"

Hey Woody...what about the mechanical prob.
What kind of tie downs failed and how did you fix it? I've got to put new stuff on my new truck for my 1700 lb. Lance eight footer. Thanks...

Hey Woody-
I almost left for Baja yesterday but figured I couldn't leave the wife two weeks in a row...after reading your report I wish I had...maybe next week.
Thanks for sharing the adventures.

the attach points on the pop top where the turnbukle connects. both on the passenger side ripped right out of the camper. we found one of the
turnbukles and had to limp about 10 miles into camp where we substituted a short peice of chain for the other. that was after honing two pieces out of
our 4x4 pieces of firewood. the pieces of wood went inside the cabinets and were attached thru the exterior with 4" bolts we luckily had. oh yeah, we
didn't have a drill, so many attempts were made with a hammer and phillips screwdriver to bore holes without splitting the wood.
adapt, improvise, and overcome!
