Very interesting and informative — thanks for posting this.

For those withe the ARB Classics (and maybe other models?) the latch itself can be rotated up to keep the lid open about 2-3 inches. This OPs device is a nice solution otherwise, though.

Never built a camper, but I’m a long time woodworker, so strictly opinion here based on woodworking background: Since you’ve built several rigs with wood, you likely know it’s the structure that provides a lot of the strength. That said, soft woods are never the best for strength/longevity and...

Thanks for the feedback. My Truma was installed by AT Overland, so after I couldn’t find anything online or from the biggest Truma RV dealer in Phoenix (the parts guy said he wasn’t even able to order Truma parts, or at least the ducts), I contacted them online and a day layer Mario called me...

Any of the good aftermarket armor manufacturers will provide the necessary bracing on their skid plates to fit correctly for your model. CBI is certainly one of these. You’ll find that the aftermarket kid plates are far better functionally than the OEM version.

We like the area up there, and have been thinking about heading up again in the summer (only been in the early fall in the past). Haven’t been there since the CA fires started to be an issue. You mentioned some high haze, but there have also been some times last year and this when I look at...

Check out this thread. It’s all the same replies you may or may not get on this question: https://forum.expeditionportal.com/threads/project-m-competitors.244713/#post-3179013 Also: https://forum.expeditionportal.com/threads/oru-bruin-xl-vs-fwc-project-m-vs-tune-m1-vs-topo-rincon.248246/

You’re also competing with things like this: https://expeditionportal.com/runaway-campers-has-introduced-its-venturist-4x8-trailer/

Perhaps this tells you something? Any trailers like your’s? I think don’t think you're selling it quickly for exactly the same reason you are selling it period. Not where the zeitgeist of overlanding is headed anymore. Older population, more retirees, younger folks having kids, people...

@Bigc3031 did you ever do this? I need to find the 80mm ducting to redirect heat away from my Truma as it’s building up under bed platform and eventually giving me an overheat error. It seems damn near impossible to find any Truma parts in the US. Did you find any, and if so where?

Not exactly a sign, but it seemed about right for EP;). Found in the men’s bathroom of the Molly Butler Lodge in Greer, AZ

For the price of free bump, I get to tell you that I hate you for being able to park your rig in the garage AND pop the top in there! 🤣 Sure wish i could get mine into my garage. GLWS

Think hard about this. The hatch windows (at least one) are SO helpful in accessing the interior. Trust me, besides the ventilation, you’ll get tired of climbing in and out for every single little thing. You just can’t imagine the things you can access and do through the hatches until you...

Check Will Prowse’s Youtube channel. He does great teardowns and rigorously tested review. Don’t know if he’s done these though. But by the time you buy two of these, wouldn’t you just be better off crying once and buying a BattleBorn you can trust? They’ve been dropping prices lately. I...

No customization to event, but otherwise pretty great radio. We really like ours and it checks most of your other boxes I think. https://ccrane.com/cc-skywave-ssb-2-with-am-fm-sw-wx-and-aviation-bands
