Dropping the price to 20k $25,000 We are looking to sell our 2015 Turtleback. It has been loved by us since 2017 but we’re hoping for our 3rd child later this year so we’ve just outgrown it. We are moving onto a xpedition Camper Voyger. The layout of this trailer is a bit different but we...

We’ve been running a Turtleback since 2017, but our family is expanding from 4-5 soon with a 6 in the possible future. We’ve simply outgrown “Toby the Turtleback”. We were set on a Kimberly Karavan, but recently the xpedition trailers voyager has caught our eye. It seems to be next level...

I'm posting this up for sale because I just replaced this tent with a Bundutop. This tent is in good shape, but is not new. It has about 30-40 days camping. There is a small rip in the canvas on the front side of the tent at the hinge that happened the first time it was deployed but has not...

Hello, After camping in our Turtleback with some friends we now have another family wanting to join the community. They are a 2 person family with no dogs and they are looking for a hard sided (teardropish) expo camper. Right now it appears that the Off Grid Pando 2.0 is the top choice. Is...

Hey guys, my wife, son and I are on a month long adventure with our Turtleback trailer with CVT Denali summit extended RTT (SEE SIG FOR BUILD THRED). We love the trailer, but hate the clamshell tent design. This is our second one (first was mounted on a Jeep) and we like the room, but dread tear...

My trailer has a 50w panel mounted on the tongue box to keep the batteries healthy when not in use. However, while camping I have 2 folding Renogy 100w panels that hook to the same solar controller via a mounted SAE plug. I'd like to wire my remote panels in series to take advanage of the 24v...

I'd really like to add a XO Jockey wheel to my Turtleback as the tongue is heavier than I can comfortably lift. However, I'm honestly afraid of the trailer getting away from me since it doesn't have a parking brake I can throw if I need to stop it Anyone ever have a bad experience with a...

Here is what I've done in my RTT on my turtleback. Enjoyed the project, anyone else done anything similar?? My roof rack on my Turtleback lifts 18", this shows the rack in the up position. a 3/4" bulkhead fitting with a 3/4" cable gland keep the tent floor water tight. I can't run a...

I've building an expo trailer and it is equipped with 2 G31 odysseys, my tow vehicle is equipped with 2 G34 odysseys. I currently have a solar charger installed along with a shore power battery charger, other than the small battery for the emergency breakaway that connects to the 7 pin I don't...

Hey guys, as usual I'm hoping I can bounce my trailers proposed wiring diagram off you guys before I start wiring it up. I think I've come up with a reasonable layout and I believe the wiring should be straight forward, but anytime I can get a second set of eyes I'm very thankful. Please let me...

Hello to all the electrical gurus out there. I am a simpleton who needs some advice. I'm currently working on the 12v/110v wiring for my trailer (HERE and I can't figure out how to wire up the following items.) Victron BMV-712 w/ Shunt Powermania M230 Dual shore power battery charger Dual...

I'm going to be permanently installing my propex 2211 under my roof top tent and I'm thinking about using 2” schedule 40 PVC as ducting instead of the metal ducting it came with as I don't have enough length and it'll likely just get crushed. The propex puts out air around 190*F, well...

Normally, I'd be thinking of a PVC bulkhead connector with plenty of silicone, but my trailer has a 3-5mm gap between the tongue box and the front of the main cabin body so I'm not sure if there is a better solution. I need to pass a number of cables through while keeping it water tight. I'd...

I'm currently building my camping trailer and I've purchased a Xantrex 2000w pure SW inverter to power the 110v electrical system. I've always used smaller inverters for other projects and that got me to wondering. Do larger inverters utilize more 12v electricity to operate? Does an inverters...

When I found this 2015 Turtleback Utility model for sale on Expedition Portal, I knew it was the perfect platform for me to build off of. I contacted the seller, negotiated a wonderful deal and drove 36 hours round trip to North Carolina to pick it up. I'm the 3rd owner of the trailer and have...

I've just purchased a trailer with 5x5 hubs, I'd like to run matching wheels with my 4Runner. Can anyone recommend a wheel adapter, I've located some but I want to make sure it's a quality product since so much is riding on it... Thanks!

I'm currently running my factory lead acid starter battery and a PC1400 odyssey group 25 house battery. I've only had this combo for about a month and would now like to replace my starter battery with another odyssey. However, I've ready many times the batteries should match. Would I be better...

I wanted to share a project I've been working on for a few weeks. It's not quite finished yet, but it's to a place where I'm comfortable sharing. Things left to do include replacing the starter battery with a group 35 odyssey and getting 4x 50w Renogy Eclipse panels mounted in series to a slide...

This may seem like a stupid question, but I just finished installing my second battery and blue sea ML-ACR in my 4runner. I didn't install the supplied contra switch because I can't think of a time when it would be a benefit to isolate the batteries or combine them via a remote switch. Honestly...

Spent Sunday modifying my Easy Slide 150 fridge drop slide to house a pull out table underneath it similar to the Tembo Tusk drop slide. Just wanted to share the results. First I cut the front of the Easy Slide off. cut a few pieces of 1.5x1.5" 1/8" steel angle I order a piece of 10 gauge...
