    We survived the Polar Vortex in our OEV Summit

    Nice photos and a nice looking camper. FWIW, I have an XP (now Nimbl) camper with a Webasto Dualtop. I and other Nimbl owners often camp in the winter and find the Webasto sufficient to keep the camper warm and comfortable. Granted, the temps are not usually as extreme as you experienced...

    Seems like a fair price as well.

    EarthCruiser/Core and Total Composites Partnership Announcement

    That is outstanding. For the sort-of-curious, what skills are required for the interior buildout? Put another way, how do you attach things to the interior of the composite boxes? Is this "just" finish carpentry, and do you glue or screw straight into the composite walls? Or do you need to...

    Thanks, that was a very nice video. I am looking forward to seeing the winter version.

    1978 Toyota Chinook Omega Vintage Camper 54k miles - 20R 4 speed $21,000

    That is $21K CAD. Only about $17K USD. Cool looking camper. I think I saw one like it this week in Utah; the weird shaped door into the camper caught my eye.

    camper composites

    They say of the small shells: "These usually units come in under 500 pounds." Aside for the lack of proof-reading, one wonders about the use of the word "usually" since it implies a number of such units have been built. I hope they are legit and ultimately successful, but their initial...

    SOLD! 2017 Kenworth/GXV Patagonia 4X4

    Wow that is nice. Looks like you also have a front winch from the pictures. Cannot tell about the rear. But, you might want to add that to your description.

    Build: Ram 3500 and Aluminum/Composite Expedition Camper

    One more thing on emptying toilet cassettes. I keep a box of disposable gloves (like nurses use) in the camper. These are handy for toilet emptying as well as other impromptu truck maintenance and repair. Emptying the toilet s not really a dirty job and if I ddi not have gloves I wold not...

    Build: Ram 3500 and Aluminum/Composite Expedition Camper

    In Episode 7 you ask for tips on emptying a toilet cassette. I cannot figure out how to comment on YouTube, so I will drop this here. The best place, by far, is a vault toilet, like at a rest area, campground, trailhead, etc. They are ubiquitous. We use our camper toilet much like a river...

    XPCAMPER (NIMBL) 2018 for Sale $189k, VERY lightly used

    Yes. We have an XP Camper and our daughter has slept on the dinette converted to a bed. She is a good bit less than 200#, but she is about 6 feet tall.

    Offgrid 4x4 Expedition Vehicle F450 Ambulance Conversion - SOLD !

    Ad says interior height is 5'10". Damn complete, comprehensive, well documented ads make it hard to find specific information. Took me 3 reds to find the price. Very nice camper.

    Winnebago EKKO

    I believe Nimbl recently announced they had obtained the RV certification, and those campers do not have propane. Maybe the regs have changed, given the increased capacity of newer battery systems. That Winne has a big pass-thru from the cab to the camper and no apparent way to block it off...

    Build: Ram 3500 and Aluminum/Composite Expedition Camper

    Great looking build; I am really enjoying watching it come together (and I also watched the Container House build series). We also travel frequently with bikes. So far we have been OK with the bikes on an external rack, but if we had to, I am pretty sure we could get them both into the rear...

    EC Bathroom Layout Question

    I have not owned or used an EC, but I have an XP Camper which has a similar bathroom setup, in that it does not have a hard door closure (it is a curtain). There is a vent fan directly above the toilet/shower, so odors while in use are not usually an issue, but the inside of the camper is a...

    2016 Tiger Adventure Vehicle Malayan HT

    Caveat: I have never seen, much less owned a Tiger Malayan. But, a couple of years ago when I was searching for a vehicle I did some research on Tiger's and lurked to Tiger Owners forum. I recall hearing that the higher-end Tiger models (Malayan and Siberian) had some build quality issues...

    Land Rover Defender 130 HCPU 4BD1T **SOLD**

    Yes, but the issue - at least for me - is it is too big a ticket item to buy sight unseen - and I cannot get up to BC to check it out (and do some paddling while I am there maybe, although that season is ending now). GLWS; it is a really nice looking truck. I am not hopeful that the border is...

    Whats next at EarthCruiser

    Thanks, I guess I should have figured that out by looking.

    Interesting. How does this differ from the current EXD model?

    Land Rover Defender 130 HCPU 4BD1T **SOLD**

    I love this truck. I have a RAM 3500 with an XP Camper and this would be the perfect complement. Who did the work on the Defender? Scully OffRoad in Sacramento did some work on my XP, and I know they mostly do Defender work. Any chance it was them?
