The suspension is original & the front gas tank is finicky about accepting fuel. Recently replaced: - Brakes ~10k miles ago - Alternator ~3k miles ago - Air pump ~20 miles ago (needed for california smog) - BFG TA KO2's ~8k miles ago Other than that, we've replaced fluids & wear parts as...

It was a while ago, but only ~3” iirc

https://reno.craigslist.org/rvs/d/1997-tiger-cx-on-ford-f250/6656022868.html I'm selling my rig -- lemme know if you have questions!

Where do you keep your spare? I've been grappling with that on my ford-based tiger -- I'd like the hitch to be free for a bike rack...

Hmm I had only eyeballed the space around the vents; the manual says 2" to the side vents and 4" to the back one. It's been working fine for a year+ but I guess I should brainstorm some ventilation improvements.. Good looking out! Back to BritKLR's rig...

I had to punch the counter out a bit to make the fridge fit, 2-3" iirc. I also added 1.5" rigid foam on all sides and rewired the power to the fridge so that the plug doesn't come out the front port.

I'm doing a restore on a tiger too! This is what I came up with for the fridge, which is a refurbished edgestar:

Our use is mostly on pavement, but frequently snow covered. The trails I've driven it on so far are light and rarely muddy. I've considered swapping tires in the winter, but it seems like I'd wear out a snow tire real fast with a vehicle this size. That said I haven't weighed it... A couple pics:

speaking of heavy trucks/vans, do you guys air down tires offroad? i'd like to, but it makes me nervous with a big camper

I need some guidance deciding what size tire to buy. I'd like to go as big as possible with minimal (or no) rubbing, and without a lift. These tires are 245/75R16, and the camper is based on a 1996 f250. It looks to me like there's space to go a bit bigger. But how big? I'm thinking 32s or 33s?

Ballpark cost estimate? I have none of the requisite skills...

TTB with leafs

Wasn't aware of that. When is it?
