    Advice on a Used Defender 110

    Hi folks. I'm doing a stint in Germany and have an opportunity to buy a used LR Defender 110 and am looking for some advice. I don't have any real experience with Rovers and normally drive Toyotas (FJ and 100), so use that as a reference. I've only looked at the exterior of the vehicle once and...

    Apple Tablet: iPad

    I do agree that the lack of a USB port is annoying. The adapter helps, but I think it should have been included. I don't know anything about the Slate and would most likely never get one. I am not a "tech" guy and one of the things I love about Apple is that everything is designed to work...

    "Family-sized" RTT??

    I have a 2200 mounted on my trailer. It sleeps my wife and I and our three kids, 12,10 and 8. My kids are all pretty big for their ages and we make it just fine, though I wouldn't like it if they weren't all family. We sleep four across and one at the top instead of trying to fit all five...
