    What options do I have for a flatbed 'shell', with pass through?

    The motorcycle will eat up a large portion of inside space, you could probably fit a simple cot next to it for sleeping. "Comfy" is in the eye of the beholder. If you just need a place to sleep for a drive up to a destination like Alaska? Sounds comfy to me for such a short trip. Planning on...

    Alaskan Camper Build Up

    How does it drive down the road with the new tires? What Gearing do you have? Did the tires balance out okay? Thank you, looks pretty burly with the new meat, and hopefully you get some longer tread life out of them.

    MPG and Expedtion Campers

    How many Ford "scorpion " diesels do you see? I see Cummins as an engine builder found all across the globe, Bonus is the Cummins straight 6 cyclinder motor is less complex than Ford, easier to work on, and doesn't require the cab to be removed for major work. They do get better MPG also. This...

    MPG and Expedtion Campers

    IF you are considering typical domestic NA chassis, forget the ford and take a closer look at the Ram with Cummins, but for round the world trip I would probably avoid either. Here is one option available in NA, with no miles, non military...

    Expedition Vehicles: ridiculously overpriced or not

    I think it can be done a lot cheaper, a few options would be going with Total composites and maybe contracting out some of the interior finishings. The other would be the camperlogic build on here, which I believe he said prices would be more affordable.

    Insufficient Solar Setup?! Input Appreciated

    If you don't have the funds to remedy the situation then your only option is to remove one of the batteries. I have been full time off and on for 2 years now and removing a battery just so it can get fully charged is not an option I would even think about considering. I would probably work more...

    New Photos of the Earthroamer XV-HD ahead of SEMA

    What motor is in this truck? Is it the light duty Ford "scorpion" 6.7 liter? If that is the case it seems like a poor choice in chassis. Still can't believe they went with those Dometic windows either.

    GMC Topkick 4x4 Expedition Camper Build

    How are you getting the th XZL's? They are hard to come by new and used. There is Pirelli in the same size brand new for less than 400 a tire, another option.

    Composting Toilet — Report on 8 months full time usage

    I don't have experience with one, but I have decided to go with a Sepperette for my next build, in this system, the composting happens after it has been removed from the toilet. You basically bag it, and trash it in a biodegrable trash back and your done. Having to deal with the compost medium...

    Cirrus 800 Truck Camper

    Personally, I'd pay lance/artic fox pricing for one if I was in the market. They appear built really well, without the typical RV components like TPO roof instead using aluminum, also the Truma sounds a lot better than the standard units that get put in all the other mass produced RV's. I also...

    Subframe & Camper Box leveling while parked

    Honestly, rocks and blocks of wood are what I would go with and work with that to get the box as level as possible. It's cheaper and far simpler than installing some complicated air level system that introduces another point of failure, that's not something you want, especially if you plan to...

    Isolating Vibrations from chassis through subframe to camper box

    Camperlogic.com has a build thread on here. I believe he mentions going with a military m35 spring mount and I think hardwood on the frame rail, I am not certain so it would be best to contact them directly. The biggest difference I think you will find is the ability to air down your tire...

    LG Chem RESU lithium ion batteries - incredible!

    I saw a video on youtube of a guy who is using Nissan Leaf batteries for like 24Kwh! in a bus conversion. Looked interesting and something to consider for a lot less money than the LG Chem batteries. Have you found a price on RESU 10 48 volt battery?

    LG Chem RESU lithium ion batteries - incredible!

    I remember reading it on the install PDF. I believe a certified installer has to do the install as well
