    4x4 Mini-Motorhome conversions?

    I tried some searching on this but all I came up with were a few folks who were lucky enough to find one of the super-rare factory 4x4 Toyota motorhomes. This one is for sale by me: It's an '87 with 41K original miles. The Mini-Cruiser shell was built by a company called RBR-they're not...

    F-450/550 for work and play? (Building a custom removable camper)

    Last week I sold my F-350 Regular Cab :( because it really didn't fit my growing family. In the meantime we're upgrading to a 4WD Kia Borrego-it will be a good way to move the whole family around and do some mild overlanding until I can find an F-450 or 550 Crew Cab to use as a custom camper...

    Kia Borrego?

    I could only find one other thread on the Kia Borrego that started in 2008 just as it was introduced that petered out after news of its early demise broke. We are probably going to be purchasing one by the end of the month. As someone else here pointed out, resale values took a big hit because...

    Maximizing space in a mid-sized SUV

    My wife and I are looking for a Kia Sorento for her DD/our family vehicle. Right now it will mostly get her to work and get all four of us (me, her, our two month old, and the dog) to grandma's. This Christmas we'll be doing it in her Toyota Corolla-50 miles north to grandma number 1 on...

    Making an F-350 Regular cab more family friendly (child seat mounting idea)?

    My '03 Regular cab was great for me, my wife, and my dog, but now that the baby has come along, our only expo vehicle has become a lot less comfortable. I have a bench seat and though there is ample room in the middle for a child seat (and a latch anchor for the middle position installed at the...

    Good source for Isuzu wheel specs?

    Does anyone know of a good resource for specs (bolt circle, bore size, backspacing, etc...) on Isuzu wheels? I tried the only Isuzu forum I could find on the 'net and found nothing. Specifically I'm looking for info on these: Then there are these: I found them on a site from the UK so...

    Ford Escape owners?

    Judging by the search there are at least a handful hanging around? We will be in the market for one soon because my regular cab F350 isn't cutting it as far as room anymore. We'll be buying used (probably an '08 or '09 off lease) but want to go with the V6/AWD. I assume that AWD means that...

    Theoretical overland flatbed design for F-350 DRW Crew Cab

    I stopped for coffee on my way to work this morning when I saw my dream overlanding vehicle-a crew cab F-350, DRW, 4x4 with a flatbed pulling out of the lot. Since my family is outgrowing my regular cab rather quickly I've been putting a lot of thought into what will eventually become my...

    Campsite bug solutions?

    Anyone have any favorite products for keeping bugs away from the campsite? We have a favorite spot on a mountain pond that we like to go to and spend the day with the dog, but it can be a little buggy this time of year. I've never really thought that citronella candles were all that effective...

    As promised, here is my WVO filtration system. There are many ways to skin this cat and this is just one-look it over, get some ideas, make some improvements (but do me a favor and let me know so I can copy them :D), etc... I'll go over the main points first: Collecting oil - I prefer to...

    Flatbed camper size-is 118" long by 105" wide absurdly large?

    I was playing with some sizes based on the flatbed I'm looking at (81" wide and 100" long) and also did some measuring on my truck. The distance between the outer edges of each mirror (they're the extendable tow mirrors) is about 108"-a twelve inch overhang on the width of flatbed would be...

    GVWR, payload, and truck campers...

    I'm learning a lot fast here with regard to truck campers, but now I've turned my attention to the truck itself. I'm planning on buying a Super Duty crew cab longbed and swapping the bed for an aluminum flatbed. I was hoping that I was going to be loosing a bunch of weight but as it turns out...

    This one stumped The Diesel Stop-Actual weight of a '99-'07 F-350 SRW longbed?

    I'm looking for the actual weight (as in pounds, not "I saw three guys lift one once :p) of a SRW longbed. I'm looking at a Truck Craft aluminum flatbed for the purpose of using it as a platform for a custom built truck camper. I need to know how the weight over the rear axle is going to change...

    Contemplating building my own camper

    So one of the reasons that I came to ExPo in the first place was my (and my family's) desire to roam. I'll be selling my regular cab F-350 in order to trade up to a crew cab when the time is right so that I can make room for the one on the way and the few more that will likely follow. The main...

    Dumb noob questions about slide-in campers

    I'm completely new to the idea of a slide-in camper for my future Super Duty Crew Cab. I'm "spatially challenged" right now with my regular cab and hope to find a crew soon. In any event I have a few basic questions: I travel with an auxiliary fuel tank (toolbox tank) that would be very...

    Overland "Lite" Super Duty Crew Cab?

    In the month or so that I've been a member here at the ExPo forums I've learned a lot. Ironically I found this place just looking for information on crew cabs. The reason I was looking was because I anticipated our family (currently me, my wife, and our chocolate lab) outgrowing my regular cab...
