We've actually had pretty good lucky with the Renogy system of a DC-DC charger and 100 amp hour battery, working great for 8 months. It's just thier app is terrible. We're out in the middle of nowhere Boliva, no cell, no wifi, and the stupid app wants you to login to tell you what your current...

So I picked up a TeardropsNW Ranger 2 years ago and its been great. I'm planning on taking it on the Pan-American next year. Colombia to Ushuaia. It has a Timbren 3500HD system. Seems like a very common suspension on this style of trailer. Does anyone have any real work experience with these...

In the planning stages for a trip through South America. Current plan for navigation is mostly iPhone based solutions as that seems like what the locals use. I'd like to supplement that with a dedicated device with a robust map set but everything seems pre-downloaded with US only and...

CVT Rainier Hybrid with Extended Fly. (ROOF TENT ONLY!! TRAILER NOT FOR SALE) $2,000 Purchased last fall and used for about 10 nights this summer. This was originally a $3,300 tent. This roof top tent was mounted on the teardrop trailer and stored in the garage. This is the hybrid version...

Our trailer's got 3 jacks that mount onto the weld on lugs. One at each back corner and one at the tongue. The issue is that when we've got the roof top tent deployed and 6 people sleeping in the rig you can feel any movement from other people. This type of jack attachment is great for ease of...

Picked up a 2019 Teardrops NW Ranger last year. Wanted something small to pull behind the Landcruiser. Looking for an expedition trailer that slept 6 was the goal and I think this will work! Honestly finding something that slept 6 and could haul 6 bikes was kind of amazing. Day I brought it...

Looking for a 12volt heater with a thermostat for use in a teardrop. Doesn't need much output, just seems like with a big Lipo/Solar system it could handle a small 12volt heater.

Anyone tried out a little 12 volt heater for a teardrop? I feel like with current battery capacity and solar there should be a decent electric heat solution. I don't need a 70 deg cabin, I just want something to go from 30 deg outside to 50 deg inside and maybe help with the condensation.

I flew into Utah and met up with some friends for a week in the backcountry. First week in September we started with the White Rim Trail, then Elephant Hill, then back in Moab for Fins and Things. We had great weather and perfect timing for the Milky Way. 3 vehicles, 2nd Gen Tacoma, Jeep CJ...

60ft Articulating Bus. No affiliation. Endless possibilities. http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/cto/4571091395.html *Come out and test drive it! This bus is bump key!* Selling our 2000 60ft New Flyer Articulating accordion Bus. This rare find was just recently decommissioned by King...

2007 Jeep Wrangler X 2 Door 35,500miles This has been a great jeep. Perfect for northwest trails. Somewhat modified, lots invested, ready for offroading. My family keeps growing. It's was a great size rig when it was just my wife and I. Nothing like cruising around with the top off in...

Late start to a build thread, but here it goes: After a serious road trip from Seattle to Utah and Colorado last fall I realized the 2 door jeep just didn't have the space for long trips with kids. We made it, but it was a compromise with all our crap hanging off the back. I started looking...

These are older than 25 years now. I know the odds of a finding well functioning 1984-5 are pretty slim. Would it even be worth undertaking? I assume you’re looking at similar requirements to the old defenders. Requirements so prohibitive you’re better off buying one of the handful of NAS...

Friend of mine at work. He goes back every year for about 6 weeks. http://kens-vietnam-adventures.blogspot.com/ He's writing a book about wooden boat construction in vietnam. It is amazing to photograph and catalog the traditional boats and construction methods before they are all gone...

We need a thread here to keep track of GPS enabled tablets to keep an eye on for overland use. CES is spitting out a ton of them right now. Notion Ink Adam - Old news but reviewers are actually getting their hands on them now. GPS, Daylight readable screen, Android...

I’ll be taking a trip to Utah and Colorado for about 10 days next summer. Are they any places where you can rent an off-road trailer with a rooftop tent and all. My wife and I camp with out 6 month old, so the backseat of the JK stays in and space is at a premium. For a typical weekend...

These look kinda fun. Certainly would be a cool jeep to travel in india. Assuming 'Rs 5.97 lakh' means '5.97 thousand indian rupees' thats only 130 dollars. 2.5L diesel engine, side facing rear bench seats, awesome...

Anyone using a droid or similar android powered phone as a navigator off road? I thinking one of these would take care of the GPS, topo maps, and cell phone.

I used to have a very basic GPS that took me to addresses I hadn’t been before. Worked for that but wouldn’t accept coordinates, geocaches, waypoints, tracks, routes, map updates. It also always stayed on roads so worthless on jeep trails. That thing finally broke. I’d like to get something...

So I’m getting an OR Fab Tire/Can carrier. I don’t really need 10 gal of gas most of the time, 5 gal gas 5 gal water would do it. I’m thinking of getting a new Blitz Jerry can, repainting it and putting a tap on the bottom so you can just open the tap and get some water out without having to...
