My wife and I've been looking for a 1994-95 Hiace. We are expecting another kiddo this fall which will make three. She wants a van but hates the current domestic options, which is why the Hiace is so appealing. She likes the 4WD and the seating options. Unfortunately, there isn't a lot of...

craigslist - i searched by brand name everyday. ended up with a brand new in box snomaster CL56 dual zone classic for $625. just have to be diligent

Nice trailer setup. I need to do something similar to your tongue box. Do you know what brand it is and where you got it from? Thanks, Will

Thanks guys. I'll adjust the min. voltage.

What @vtsoundman said. Hassle Factor is a good yard stick. When I camp solo I prefer ground tent or no tent and no trailer. Then my wife wanted to come. She prefers the RTT b/c she's afraid of cougars and bears and thinks she's safer up high. Plus, she requires the annex and floor be...

An update. I got a sweet deal on a SnoMaster CL56D. So it's a smaller footprint DZ but it is taller than the Dometic. Still, for the price I paid, totally worth the trade-off. Really happy with it so far. I camped one night with it and it's been on 100% of the time, wired directly to my...

Good to know. I am looking at the LP61 and LP66 from SnoMaster. Although their product lines are confusing and their website doesn't help answer a lot of questions. Like what do you give up going low profile? Whats the difference between the classic, expedition, and traveler series? I'm...

No, I don't want to sacrifice half the capacity for ice cream. But if I had a frozen section or freezer compartment, I could keep other freezable items in there, such as meat for the following night or frozen water bottles or ice.

So if I did want to keep ice cream or something frozen, could I reliably do that with a single compartment?

BLUF: Is the extra cost of a dual-zone fridge worth it? I'm in the market for a fridge. I've been squirreling away cash for a while now. I'm considering a budget, mid-grade, or premium model as noted below. I have a family of 4 and the fridge will live in the back of a 2007 100 series Land...

Posting this here since it's regarding the same fridge and it's a recent thread. I found a sweet deal on a Whynter FM-62DZ. Seller claims it was hardly used. I've asked seller to confirm it's still functioning, but it sat unused for 2 years. Does leaving a fridge sitting - not powered on -...

Has anyone tried latex...? For the mattress of course. Like this: http://a.co/dbd4X44

I commented over on mud as dubyahard that this is the same setup I'd like to shoot for. With two kids, I could keep the dog in the back on the drawer and all the luggage in the trailer. What do you think the box and base cost you, excluding the paint, slide and cage? How long did it take to...
