    CTEK D250S dual battery set up

    Sterling is another option to those considering. They have 60 amp and 120 amp chargers.

    Flatbed and composite panel build on Dodge 2500

    Jeep, what wheels are those? And can they be swapped from front to back and vise versa with the different offsets? I understand the dually rear axle is of a different length requiring two different offset wheels to maintain the same track. Thanks.

    gas vs diesel

    4th gen Rams are very nice trucks, I don't think you will hear much complaints at about that generation, most reviews have been very good. I think you are referring to the Dodge 2nd gen, those trucks are almost 20 years old, and like was said by another poster, it's the Cummins that draws people...

    Truck Camper vs Van Conversion?

    I have a Northstar truck camper if you search the site you can see pictures of it. I think for the price its not a bad option at around 10k. It has a cassette toilet same that's used in an earthroamer, it has Seize windows, same also again as expensive campers. It has electric jacks and I can...

    Looks as good if not better than an earthroamer! Especially on the Ram chassis.

    Seitz windows - North American dealer?

    Seitz are double pane, they do scratch, but given the choice I would take them over traditional windows.

    Ram vs. Chev vs Ford (3/4 ton)

    Why get a truck and then overload it past its GVWR. You should be looking at 3500's. Yes there is a difference between Ram, Chevy, and Ford.

    Anyone ordered the China Sietz window copy's

    I have not been all that impressed with the Seitz windows that came with my camper. I like them, and didn't have much of a choice in the matter but I could see how the industry could benefit from something better or at the very least same quality as Seitz but at a lower price. They do require...

    Need Opinions on New Rig

    I think for up to a week long outing just about anything can be made to work. RTT would a "live beside" type of experience vs. a large truck camper or airstream "live in" Another option to consider if you need a bathroom and sleeping for 5 'inside' would be a large dually truck (they are 4x4)...

    Need Opinions on New Rig

    The problem with those options is they don't address the original posters requirements, specifically the ability to sleep 5, and toilet and shower. He mentioned that even a 25 ft. travel trailer is "tight" To the OP, I think you are going to have to make some sacrifices and the prices you...

    Ford Transit build out

    Have you made it to Central America yet? Do you have a blog? I know the Van is for sale and you obviously went a different direction but did you ever have a chance to to try out the Kingtec AC in the heat? how long would it run on your battery bank? Does it have sufficient cooling? I found...

    Guatemala and Back!

    I got back back end of Jan. for similar time frame doing a similar route, we didn't see to many overlanders either, was kind of surprising. Met a few at the RV Park in Teotihuacan Mexico, a couple of other random ones, but that was it. The usual snowbirds in the bigger beach areas. Traveled in a...
