    Foxwing 270 Degree Awning, Portland OR (or OvEx PNW pickup)--SOLD

    Sold 6/7/22. Thanks for your interest. =============== I have an out-of-service, lightly used OzTent/Rhino-Rack Foxwing awning that some overland/expedition/vanlife type should be able to make good use of. It was on the XV-JP I now re-own for over a decade, but probably hasn't actually been...

    USED Engel MT60 DOUBLE COMPARTMENT portable fridge/freezer, Off-Market (Keeping)

    This was put up in conjunction with the post I had to sell a new SINGLE Compartment MT60, and I was thinking that I'd put the one that didn't sell into my Sprinter. But it turns out to make more sense to keep this one in the Sprinter where it has worked faithfully and sell only the new one . . ...

    SOLD to Tom for his Sprinter on 3/29/22 ================================== I doubt I'll ever use the a nice Motion Windows T-Slider window I've had sitting around, so time to see if someone can use it.

    Uncommon Japanese Aluminum Roof Rack, 44 x 53 Portland, OR SOLD 4/9/22

    Since soon after I started working on it in fifteen years ago, the Earthroamer XV-JP “Northwest Edition” has had an aluminum JAOS rack on the roof, However, with a recent change to the cabin roof design, I need to reduce the overall height and thus can’t keep the rack. It’s a very nice rack and...

    UPDATE 3/30/22: Enough of the stuff has sold so that it's not much of a sale any more. About the only thing still actively for sale is the new Engel MT-60 single compartment fridge that is linked in the next post. Thanks for the interest. I'll post up again if any other good stuff needs...

    Overlanding Sidecar on eBay

    I suppose this could have gone in the Vehicles for Sale section, but our Sidecar forum could use the traffic . . . That ever-popular time and money sink Bring-A-Trailer has made note of a Rokon Ranger factory sidecar rig that is for sale on eBay. It's currently inconveniently located (for an...

    Exceptionally Cheap Raising Roof Slide-In Camper (like FWC Grandby shell); Portland

    For most of their time in business, Four Wheel Camper, Alaskan and others aluminum camper manufacturers competed with the Roamin’ Chariot Company of Spokane, WA. Though their campers had merit, Roamin’ Chariot seems not to have made it through the Great Recession. I have one, however, acquired a...

    Public Service Announcement: 1/2 Price New Thetford Curve Toilets

    Useful Discount on a New 60-liter Engel Compressor Fridge; $950 in Portland, OR

    I don’t have much residual left from the XV-JP fiasco with Dion Krantz and Red Cannon Expedition, but I did get back an Engel fridge I bought for the project. Having no use for it, it seems sensible to see if any ExPo builders need it. The unit is the well-known and reasonably well-loved Engel...

    CAMPERMOG FANS: Videos of the old girl in her weird new life

    CoffeeMog (née CamperMog) is still selling coffee in Seattle. She gets a fair amount of coverage on Twitter (#mogsnotmugs; clever, eh?) and the Internet. If you are in Seattle, check at http://www.motofishcoffee.com to see where she is now and will be in the future. Anyway, I had someone e-mail...

    FREE TO GOOD HOME: Wrangler JK Front Brake Components--Westside Portland, OR

    Several months back, the 2007 XV-JP Wrangler got a TeraFlex Front Big Brake kit. It sort of seemed like something that heavy much could profit from bigger brakes, though I'd not had any problems with the stock setup. So I have the take-off front rotors, calipers, and stainless brake lines...

    100 SERIES CARGO AREA CONVERSION--Has found a good new home

    GONE TO A LOCAL LX470 OWNER, 11/1/14 Tom Petersen (RIP) used to say that in all of his late night television ads when he'd throw in some gimcrack if you'd pony up for one of his washers or vacuums . . . Free is a Very Good Price. What we have here will be a fantastic opportunity for anyone who...

    AND YET AGAIN: Paul and Mike Try to Build a Hard-Sided Do-It-All ADV Trailer

    Well, the days are getting shorter, Paul's vacation trip is over, and it's been six months since we finished the last project, so there's only one thing left to do: Rummage around to try to find something else ExPo-worthy to build. The best candidate we had was my...

    Camper Builder Darrin Fink (RUF) Gets Well-Deserved Two Minutes of Television Fame

    You could have knocked me over with a feather. I had the TV on in the background while doing computer work, and on this Travel Channel show Mega RV Countdown, they started talking about the "Ranch Hand RV" and there was Darrin with his old U1300 Mog Camper, driving it around his ranch. Darrin...
