    Electric motor assist

    Two PTO driven trailers have been made for the military. There was a British prototype that never went into production and is now at the British Motor Museum, and a Swedish Military trailer that went into limited production. FotoValpen has a Swedish model he rebuilt and posted up on. The...

    Electric motor assist

    The best solution is to have the electric motors in the hubs, see hub motors here. They have already built a Mini using the same system, 0-60 in 4 seconds. If you use hub motors there is no axle weight and the inefficiency of the drive train is eliminated. The drive hubs can be turned on and...

    Mounting stock jeep rubicon wheels on my trailer hubs

    Two ways to address this. 1) Use adapters to move the rims outward. When you have the adapters made spec the center bore large enough to easily slip over the spindle. 2) Bore out the center hole of the stock rims. Best way to do this is to have a machine shop take care of it. The crudest way is...

    Brand New AT Flip-Pac

    Order to delivery time has increased from 8 - 10 weeks over the course of the summer. We just got notice that if you want it color matched to your vehicle add another week. Both Mario and I have AT FlipPacs on our trucks. They are really wonderful to camp in and with the twist of a handle turn...

    Trailer Suspension Conversions

    AT had set time aside between now and the New Year to develop a new specialized military trailer, don't ask me about it I'd have to kill you. :) But the project has been delayed until the new year. So we have some open slots for our fabricators to do some special work. As many of you know AT...

    Propane Furnaces & Hot Water Tanks

    If you are interested in a propane furnace or a hot water tank heat exchanger we are ordering them this week or the beginning of next. Both items are airfreighted from Europe, we typically order only enough stock for future orders, and maybe keep one on the shelf. We also only stock 6 liter...

    Why wouldn't I want to buy an Ecotemp L5

    Keep us posted on how it works out. Keep an eye on it during freezing temps, the pump and heat exchanger are prone to freezing.

    Why wouldn't I want to buy an Ecotemp L5

    I have used all three units, the portable instant unit may have been a different brand. The simplest unit is the Zodi Extreme, nothing to go wrong with it, the burner provided with the unit is junk so we throw it away and sit it on the stove to heat it up. Biggest problem is they are on...

    What multi axis hitch do you prefer?

    My experience with couplers has been that most people think the one they are using is best. No real way of convincing them otherwise, unless you lend them a different one to try. It's much the same way with coolers and fridges. People with coolers say they would never switch to a...

    JK/J8 Flippac rumor??

    It's a little difficult to get pictures of everything as the Habitat is moving around a little getting fitted for the production tent and other parts. The torsion bar works well opening and closing is a one person job. We are having new production torsion bars made at a forge right now, they...

    JK/J8 Flippac rumor??

    All the interior items can be ordered now. Depending on what it is that you are ordering turn around time is 2 to 3 weeks. All of the composite storage is made to order and needs to be coated. Fridge and stove slides are ready to be fab'd up.

    JK/J8 Flippac rumor??

    The stove comes with a hose and regulator. As the stove slides under the fridge regular wind guards won't work, we'll have to see about some stand alone ones.

    JK/J8 Flippac rumor??

    Access to the tent portion of the Habitat from the exterior was part of the original concept, and it is something we are moving ahead with. As I explain in the video the tent on this Habitat is not the same design as the production tent.

    JK/J8 Flippac rumor??

    The upper tent area can sleep up to 4 people. If you choose to get stage 1 and 2 interior builds the storage area can fold down do a sleeping platform. There are various choices here, any mix of the following is possible, the JK habitat, Stage 1 interior system (the rear drawer), Stage 2...

    What min temp & for how long before water systems freeze

    Very complicate subject that I have experience in but no empirical data. I've lived at 1525 meters for over 25 years so I have lots of freezing experience. Large volumes like water tanks have a lot of thermal mass, and the process of freezing gives off heat so in a closed space they are fairly...
