The truck came with super singles and Hutchinson rims. Everything about that setup is garbage. Took both ball joints out in 40,000mi (on a 5500!). Never balanced properly. Front tires cup badly. Almost nobody will deal with the "split rims". Tires are at least 600USD each. Good ones are 1000+...

I have an Overland Explorer. Previous owners went from Canada to Panama and back. I travel seasonally to the southern US and have also gone down the Baja. I own a wildtrak Bronco on 35s and off-road with that as well. Weight is your issue. Any 4x4 truck with decent rubber will go a long ways...

I also swapped from super singles back to duals. I had Hutchinson rims with 285/70/19.5. Similar issues. Constant cupping of the front tires. Alignment issues. Never balanced properly. Ruined a sidewall on one and after the insane pain in the ass to get a spare shipped, fixing it beside a...

Does anyone have any first hand experience with the new Chevy / International 5500's? Currently have a Dodge 5500. Was considering a new truck under the camper. Chevy sure looks like the way to go for easy maintenance. Always liked the Allison transmission. Worried about 2 things: 1. Exhaust...

I may have missed it. But what is the total mileage on the vehicle? Sent from my Pixel 7a using Tapatalk

I think most of the posters here are coming close but missing one important point. Your heating source. There is an excellent reason to go away from direct-fired propane heat. Propane is a "wet" gas and burning propane in your RV creates a lot of moisture. For a real cold weather set up you...

Yeah awesome. Thanks for the tip!

Outdoors RV I own a 2013 25ft Wind River which is made by outdoors RV. I race dirtbikes in the summer up here in Alberta Canada. It's not a true "4-season" trailer but I have done a hell of a lot of Forestry roads, and back country camping with it. Besides a few minor issues the trailer has...
