Re: Phoenix pop-up camper for Bigassgas8.1L

My neighbor and I took our campers up to a nearby lake for quick overnighter. This was the maiden voyage for mine.

Everything worked great except I couldn’t get the stink’in water heater to light. Probably user error and I am sure the wind didn’t help either but got me thinking that I could have done without that option in the first place. It is no biggie to warm water on the stove.

Fishing was terrible as it was so windy but it was a good shake down and I found a few things that need tweaking before the next big trip. Ah, the rear bumper rework has already begun as well. My buddy and I pulled it off last weekend and open the end caps to weld the spindles in. I also added a wireless winch remote while the winch was exposed. We still need to build the actual tire and fuel can pieces but the hard part is over.

All of the better high mountain better are still frozen over so this place had to do. We usually hit lakes up in the mountains in the back ground.

Can’t wait for a real trip somewhere.
