    Expedition-Ready M416 for sale

    EDIT: **** SOLD **** Hello folks, I am moving to Hawaii for work and will have no use for my beloved trailer. I could put it in storage, but I'd rather she was out having an adventure with one of you fine folks. This is NOT a stock M416, it has been heavily modified for expedition use...

    Refurb Waeco FF-70 worth $350?

    Found a repaired Waeco FF-70 for about $350. Don't see much chatter on this particular model. The 45L edgestar comes on sale often at CA for $379, so I'm quite torn. BMonday

    Here's a source for used AGM Group 31 batteries (Seattle)

    There's a guy that sells used batteries that come out of hybrids. If the car has a battery problem, they replace all 6 batts, even if they aren't bad. The bad ones get tossed/recycled and the good ones are sold through this guy. They are generally about 1 year old when they come out, still...

    Any word on SPOT upgrades from v1 to v2?

    Everyone around me is buying new SPOT IIs, while I wait patiently for news of the promised upgrade path for existing customers. News was supposed to come out in November, but the month came and went with nary a word. Nothing in the November newsletter. Christmas approaches. Do I just have to...

    Replacing tired window netting?

    The zippered mesh in then panels that cover my Bedouin RTT's windows and doors is getting quite old and fragile. If anything bumps against it now it tears in a heartbeat. How would I go about replacing it? Do tent manufacturer normally have replacement panels available that can be sewed in...

    My m416 finally finished - and unveiled! (not 56k-friendly)

    I've posted some teaser images previously, but here's the Full Monty on my just-recently-finished m416 project. I had a great head start, thanks to Sergeant Grunt (http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7833), who had acquired the trailer from the Marine Corps after they trashed...

    Need landing leg ideas

    So I was out a few weeks ago for the first time with my fully-loaded trailer, and made a discovery: The landing leg is going to get me killed one day. Here's a pic so you can see what I'm talking about (ignore for the moment that it's bent forward in this picture, I've since fixed that)...

    Can I replace my ladder?

    I'm a big guy (6'4, 280#) and the little 1x1 tube ladder that is attached to my Bedouin tent doesn't instill confidence. Where can I get a sturdier ladder that I can bolt to my RTT? Thanks BMonday

    Do AGM batteries need to be in a vented space?

    My offroad trailer is still a work in progress and I'm not ready to unveil it yet. That said, my tongue box is a military surplus medical supply crate. Something like this: http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/cb.aspx?a=336762 It's largely watertight, and, aside from some mounting holes...
