This shows some of the frame flex and 3-point effectiveness

Very cool Scott! Looks like a load of fun (no pun intended!)!

thanks for posting those pics, Scott...they prove what I've been saying in my last few posts in this thread...big difference between ER and the Host 270...one would be a fool to even THINK about taking the Host on those trails. (and it was never my intent to imply that the Host could do something like that)

Mmmm. ER love, made my day! The thing I look forward to most during my upcoming x-country trip is stopping by the ER headquarters!!

Hmmmm...would you enlighten me on rock-picks...I recall running into that term somewhere but don't really know what they are. ( I may not be the only one!)

They are bars or rods that mount between the tires at the top-aft (say 1-2 o'clock looking at a left rear wheel). If a rock gets picked-up between the tires, it will hit the bar (usually angled) and get kicked out before it can complete a rotation.

not to mention, they have a terrible reputation for shoddy construction in general and stuff breaking down frequently.

And how. We have a travel trailer that better than many, but still looks like it was screwed together by child labor, using the worst and cheapeast possible materials. Something like an Airstream is really nice, but then you're talking Earthroamer-like price point.

How do those cope with a flexy suspension? Or do they?
