    Escapade Campers MT-10

    All, I know it was a decision not taken lightly by Jeff & Briana, but the best for their personal/family situation at the moment. Here is a post from another member where you can download all the specs. From Mark Johnson: I started thinking that if people haven’t already grabbed some of the...

    I've never used the Plusnuts myself, but if they provide a solid mounting then I guess it should work. Remember that I used multiple ways of attaching the Pelican which houses the water heater and it has proved SOLID. Post #13 shows the mounting.

    Hhmmm, not sure without actually looking to see the alignment of the door-to-frame. You say "as if the door is sagging", does it look like it's out of alignment? Once again, can't give a good answer to you for that. If it was mine I would be looking at using a large rubber mallet, wood blocks...

    Installed new Timbren spindles today to compensate for my non-standard wheels. The wheels are a match to my tow vehicle, Toyota 4Runner, and facilitates only having to carry 1 spare for the combination. The new spindles brought the wheel 1.5” closer to the frame and 2” more lift for fender...

    Here is the new swing away rack mounted in the MT-10's rear 2" receiver to clear the galley door opening. Started with a RakAttach swing away from 1Up-USA and proceeded to cut it in half and weld in 7.5" more length. Stripped it and re powder coated it to look factory. Cut the MT-10's rear 2"...

    Replacement Timbren spindles arrived and I will be replacing the +2" lift extended width axles with +4" lift standard width axles. This will give me +2" more lift and tuck the wheels in closer to the frame by 1.5". By utilizing the same wheels/tires as my tow vehicle the wheels didn't quite fit...

    I am loving the MT-10 so far, went thru 2 other types before the MT-10 and am thoroughly impressed with this model. I did a 3 week out and back trip in it from Minnesota to California and back hitting Colorado, Utah, Nevada and it handled it like a champ. The frame and suspension system seems to...

    I put a 5gallon pail under the trailer to catch the sink run off. I also have 10gallons of water on the roof for the shower feed and can use that for whatever I need it for.

    1) The Pelican case has multiple nutserts holding it to the composite wall along with bonding and 6 thru bolts, (pic attached) I believe any one of those would have done the job quite nicely and with all 3 it makes it a bomb proof install. 2) The decals were sourced all over the internet and...

    Added a ladder to access the roof easier, the fenders are structural and can be used to stand on and reach things normally, but the ladder allows you to climb up top to access anything available on the roof which is also structural and can be walked around on. Ladder brackets were modified to...

    Added another battery to the tongue box for 210Ah available power, the plastic battery boxes needed a bit of modifying to mount, but fit very nicely. 200Watts from roof top solar panels feed the batteries along with shore power charging if/when available. 1000 inverter was added for ...
