    Any Pro's and Con's regarding SuperWinch versus Warn

    It's worth mentioning I have a superwinch talon series and when using it noticed it wasn't braking well when not on. Emailed their customer support and they sent out a new winch after confirming invoice. That's great customer service and is worth something, especially considering the price of...

    Ski Bum Truck V2.0, F450 Rough Road RV

    Wow!!! Got so lucky by finding that before it went catestrophic failure! My vote is just the age of the rubber and probably not the best manufactured tire of the lot. I'm a little weird about tires and really have a hard time with anything over 5 years old. Oh, and if you want to get that...

    Ford F550 Flatbed Build for Existing Truck Camper (Driven to Adventures)

    Yeah, the price of building yourself is still costly in materials and especially time. Honestly the self build is the most desirable to me but I had to be honest about how much time I had available for the build. In the end I chose to go with a service body built by someone else. They run...

    Host Campers Reclining Sofa & Table Manufacturer?

    Does anyone know the manufacturer of the reclining sofa that host uses on their slide? I really like how functional it is for a seating area and am considering a renovation of my current sitting area.

    Got some major updates done the last 2 months! New Gel Coat, Replaced windows with dual pane & new teak matt floor. 11 year old camper was starting to show its age. It's stored outside in California, so the sun really does have its way with it. Decided to remove all the old decals, sand it...

    @Adrifters - F550 Surf Camper Build - Adrift Motorhome

    My diesel is a joy to drive, but VERY expensive to maintain. Oil changes, fuel filter changes and then all the sensors that go out on it with the emissions crap. Just was out last weekend and truck went into level 1 limp limiting boost to 20 psi because it picked up a def sensor high output...

    2013 F450 Lance Camper Utility Bed Build

    Got some photos of the Honda 3000eu generator install into the rear of the camper. Accessible from the front if you need to manually start it. Can slide it out to fill with gas or change the oil. If I'm in the desert and stationary and it was very hot I would consider sliding it out to run...

    Off-grid, full time truck camper (re) build journal - Driven to Adventure

    Wow thats a huge update!! I've been thinking of the Froli Sleep System and running some air from the heater under the mattress too, so funny to see your build mirroring so many ideas, except you've done them! Where did you get your Flori from? Have you tried it with the mattress yet? I have...

    https://www.etrailer.com/Tire_Chains/Pewag/PWE2255S.html https://www.etrailer.com/Accessories_and_Parts/Titan_Chain/TCMA3.html If you're going to do serious offroading they have an even tougher version of them rated for mud.

    41" Tire snow chains sizing

    Hoping the community can help me with this one. On my EV I have 41" tires, 335/80R20 to be exact. I cross matched the sizing the best I could and ordered some Pewag chains. Finally got them today and test fit them and wasn't 100% on the sizing. It seems they need a little more width...

    Adding Electric Element to Espar Hydronic D5

    I just talked to Jim @ Rixens, nice guy. I'm looking at adding a similar system with much of what he has already assembled as a kit. His comfort hot tank he explained does not need to be the highest in the system because of where the pump is located that there would be no way for air to get...

    COol update. Who did your access door for the filter change? It seems all this custom stuff always takes 5x longer to do than it seems it should.

    Off-grid, full time truck camper (re) build journal - Driven to Adventure

    I understand that and was part of the reason I chose to do my build that way. It's always the argument here of building custom and using it in 5 years or modifying existing and using it today. I've told my wife that something I want to do in my lifetime is build a custom rig, but I'll be...

    Off-grid, full time truck camper (re) build journal - Driven to Adventure

    Great build thread! Been considering an Espar and whether to mount it to the truck or in the camper like you did. It's odd I also have a 3 way Norcold, and it essentially cannot be run off of 12v. I installed a large inverter and runs off of that when I'm driving as the LP pilot always gets...
