I would be more concerned about no real forward facing seats with real seatbelts? Not sure how you can safely transport kids in the Sprinter Ekko

Off topic but what has been your experience moving from a Mode van to a trailer? And why the move?

Nice rig. You say you need more room, what are you going to get?

I feel sorry for everybody who lost money to these guys, I hope you recover. Trace everything and request chargebacks on your CC. Good luck!

Yes nobody cares about what I get and I can buy whatever I want. Thanks for the reminder but let me remind you this forum and this sub in particular is about sharing thoughts on trailers which is exactly what I did. You want me to answer your questions : I made a mistake on the fridge capacity...

I was reading through your entire message thinking you are the one who got offended as you go in length into defending the Pause. It seems you want to reassure yourself that you made the right choice. You see I do not have a Roam, nor a Pause, and I don't need to promote one or the other (like...

Personally, I do not get why the Roam Resilient Baja does not get more attention and I think your opinion seems a bit too negative, focusing on small details (such as that suspension is fox and not bilstein. They are ARB by the way). Many specs on this model far exceed the Pause. Also, I do...

@Dave in AZ I bought the Pecron 1500 because I could not fit the 3600 in my camper cabinet but I need more capacity. I do not want to have to switch cables daily with a LFP extension. Currently the Pecron 1500 charges with 2 solar panels in series (65V total) but I would like to charge from...

You conveniently quote and leave out parts of my messages to make up an answer that does not make sense. You say I am mistaken about proportionality yet you remove the part where I explain how it's not exactly proportional. You say I need a driving lesson because one should gear down driving...

Can you send proof of that? As an engineer, here is what I think: more weight increases the downward force on the tires which increases the coefficient of friction. You will have more grip on the F250 as a result, so the braking power is what will make the difference. If you double weight, you...

You justified that a semi is legal and has long stopping distance, so it’s not a problem to increase your vehicle stopping distance by a lot. My thinking is that first, it’s not because something is legal means it’s a good idea to do it. If you apply this to everything you can justify many many...

Yep. And SUVs with tents too. Weight goes up way more quickly than one would think. I had a Bronco, and with 2 light people on board (wife is 110lbs), outdoor gear, food and water, and a light (114 lbs) roof top tent we were 50lbs under GVWR. This is one of the reason we moved to a full size...

So because a semi truck is legal means it’s ok to drive a Tacoma 1500lbs over payload? If you apply this thinking for everything humanity is doomed, so thankfully not everyone thinks like you. Also, more importantly, I have had way more overloaded offroad rigs tailgating me and going over 80...

I would definitely not put this on a Tundra even less so on a Tacoma as you will be over GVWR with gear, supplies and people. It's a legal liability and a risk for you and others (breaks are not dimensioned for such load). What bothers me with all the overloaded overloading rigs you see...

Why not just offer a bed extension like Scout and Tune do? goes out of the way when not in use and let you sleep N/S if wife requires it or if you are tall. You mentioned 2 issues for not doing a N/S: - long cab over being not good engineering wise. Bed extension solves this. - small living...
