    Best layout to sleep 2 adults, 2 small kids?

    I currently own a Quicksilver 8.0, love it for the leaving space for a familly of 4. Only draw back is when it rains, need to wait before mounting or unmounting the tent. Currently looking to put bigger wheels and tires, From the factory, you can order it with 15" wheel, so I guess it's possible...

    2015 Renegade Trailhawk

    TF-41 will fit A TruckFridge (TF-41) will fit in the trunk. ;-) The current issue we have is the odd bolt pattern: 5x110. There is no standard Trailer Hub with the same bolt pattern. And the wheel adapters are not legal here.

    Dodge ProMaster / Fiat Ducato 4x4 conversion - Dangel

    http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/115506-Nissan-NV-4x4?p=1476148#post1476148 Beside issue with the ESC, their conversion is not compatible with 16" wheels. Hopefully someone will fix those for the NA market and add a low range at the same time.

    Nissan NV 4x4?

    From what I could found on the Web, their conversion is not compatible with ESP and ASR. Not clear, if the compatibility issue is only in 4x4 mode, but if it's not enabled at least in 2WD than it would be an issue with Canadian regulation and I guess with the US one. The price would be in the 10K+.

    Quicksilver trailer

    We have a QS 8.0 that we tow with a Toyota Matrix AWD. It's well build, but it's an old design: snaps and bungee cords, therefore when it rains, setting it, can be anoying, and ventilation will be limited to about 1" per window. We have 3x 12v fan which help a bit, still investigating for...

    Alto Safari teardrop

    Well, I have seen one, they are nice and well build, At that time, we look at them, because we where looking for a hard panel camper, big enough to sleep 4, but fuel efficient. Still you need a car that can tow at least 1 725 lb + the equipment. Can it be an expedition trailer? Probably not...
