2003 new style. At the time I had plans on traveling with it, soon after I discovered adventure motorcycles and was so focused on that the F150 was neglected. It has 70,000 now and is like new. I’d do a 70 mile trip to Costco with it occasionally but that was it. Well, I’ve become old and...

This will be my 4th trip to the Arctic. I’m leaving next week right after the Touratech rally. My chosen tires have been hard to source but I finally got them and just need mount them. Then my iPhone started having issues so made an emergency purchase. It should be here tomorrow. Now I...

I’m designing a light weight trailer with a low mounted RTT. I’d like to mount a motorcycle across the tongue close to the trailer. My motorcycle weighs 350 pounds. Have you seen this done before?

I bought a new 17’ toy hauler and I’m working out some of the problems. One issue is the bathroom door. I originally thought it was warped but it turns out the far (forward) wall is crooked. The bottom of the wall could stand to come out 1/2”. Its under warranty but I would rather fix it...

What is the proper TP to use while in a camping trailer? Regular, RV/marine type or the household stuff. 1 ply or 2? Were setting up our new RV, set a newbie straight

I'm new to this. Ive been camping off my motorcycle for the last few years and we just got a new camping trailer. I'd like to set it up for remote camping. It came with one 12 volt battery. Should I just add another 12 volt or go with 2 6 volts? My AC requires a 3.5 KW, could I get by...

I just bought a new toy hauler made by Coachman (Forest River). It's a 17' and I paid $20,000 for it. Should I go for the extended warranty?

I've towed a lot of things but never a camping trailer. I just bought a new 17' toy hauler that weighs 3,300 pounds empty. I won't take delivery for another month. I have a new 2018 Tacoma and a mint 2004 F150. I was originally thinking I'd tow it with the Tacoma as its good for 6,500...

I've been kicking this around for a few years now and decided to get serious about buying. I just found this thats about 200 miles away. I have both a F150 and a Tacoma to use as a tow vehicle. What do ya think? Good deal or not? I'd offer him $18,000. 2017 Casita SPIRIT DELUXE 17 - -...

I've been looking for a new truck for some time now. I came close to ordering the new Jeep JL but I'm back to the Tacoma now. I was looking at these a few months ago but lost interest when I heard about the transmission issues. Has the hunting/sluggish problems been resolved? I'm a longtime...

I'm a long time 4X4 guy but the last jeep I owner was a 1953 CJ 3B and that was in 1972. I'm nearly 70 now. I was looking for a new truck but the new Rubicons got my attention today. What can you tell me about them? I love to travel and explore. I get way out in remote areas. I was into...

I'm more of an adventure bike kind of guy, I've gone from Prudhoe Bay to Ushuaia. But now the wife wants a light weight camping trailer. We've looked at a few and just came across the micro Minnie. 1706FB model. On sale for $17,000. Looks well built but honestly I don't know anything about...

I'm 68 and looking to buy my last truck. I've had 4X4's all my life and have even hand built some very capable rigs. The line up goes like this: SR, SR5 TRD Sport, TRD Off Road, Limited, TRD Pro. I'm kinda thinking either the TRD Sport, Off Road or possibly the Limited. As far as options I...

My KTM 690 had an engine failure in Antofagasta Chile. I had spare parts with me and was able to continue but I questioned the reliability of this bike the remainder of the trip. The 690's have a reputation of failed rocker arm bearings. Late model 690 Dukes and the new KTM made Husqvarna 701...

The wife and I are kind of looking for out first camping trailer. It must be lightweight, less than 4,000 pounds loaded. We really love the Casitas but we would rather spend less as we're not sure about RVing. Our travels would be within about a 400 mile radius, around Pacific & Inland...

I'm looking for a good quality trailer to pull behind my new Highlander. My rig has a tow capacity of 5,000 pounds so I'd like a trailer around 17' and 3,000 pounds dry. There is an Eco a few miles away for about $10,000. The Casita trailers are around $14,000 when you find them. Are any of...

We are car shopping and were considering an Explorer or Subaru. We looked at but did not drive the Explorer and really liked it, we have owned Fords for over 35 years. We're very comfortable with Ford, gas and tires have been our only expenses, never had one in the shop for and reason. I...

I'm 67 and my technical knowledge/learning ability is starting to slip. I have a GoPro and a new Garmin virb (have not used the Garmin) that I'll use to document my upcoming 4 month long trip. I'll have my iPad and iPhone along also. I'm using 64 gig sa cards that will hold around 4-5 hours...

We're due for a new vehicle and were liking the new explorer. My goal is to get an all wheel/4 wheel drive that gets 20mpg on the highway. I think the window sticker says 16/20. Can I realistically get 20 on the road?

I've had many 4X4's over the years. My wife and I are now in our late 60's and need to consider something new. At this time we have a 2005 Ford F-150 4X4. Nice truck but it likes gas, normal highway mileage is 14-15 mpg. The bed is too high and is difficult to load. At this point I feel we...
