    Jeep Wrangler Habitat Official Release

    DK: Picking yours up tomorrow and taking it to paint. The awning is still in process with NEMO, receiving some tweaks since the last blue colored prototype. There will be a provision for hanging walls that will be released later. We do not have a production date yet. We'll keep you posted on...

    Jeep Wrangler Habitat Official Release

    It's all about choices, options and compromises, especially when dealing with a relatively small platform Kermit. The Earthroamer XV JP is a discontinued product, about $125K. The ActionCamper is $53K + the Jeep. The Habitat is $7599. Opening the rear roof means losing the rear seat and the...

    I flipped my M416

    Ouch! Sorry to see your gear take a hit. Good that no one got hurt. A note on tongue weight, the generally accepted engineering guide line as set by the NATM is that 10-15% of the total trailer weight should be on the tongue. The 60/40 rule is also a good rule of thumb if you don't know your...

    Jeep Wrangler Habitat Official Release

    UMV has still to finalize a deliverables schedule, something that AT expects to have after we meet later today. As the production ramps up, there are still efficiencies that UMV is struggling with. At this point we have our NEMO tents in house and they no longer represent a delay. I am hoping...

    AT Comanche for sale

    I have decided to sell my Comanche. I bought it new in 1992 from the dealer and it has been my very faithful expedition vehicle ever since. I am purchasing a new Jeep Wrangler and I simply do not have enough room in the stable for the Comanche once the new Jeep arrives. The Comanche will be on...

    Max Coupler inverted

    Sorry, no lecture intended. I know the SAE J684 testing that gives the coupler its 6000 lb rating tests the coupler in its in normal operating position. If Chris endorsed the inversion, then it should be okay in your application. BTW, when did you talk with Chris? We thought that he was no...

    Max Coupler inverted

    TacoDell, you have put the system in tension rather than compression which is significantly weaker. I do not have the engineering calcs handy to tell you how much weaker. The coupler is rated at 6000 lbs and it was not tested inverted in the SAE J684 test. I am fairly certain that the coupler...

    Is purchasing a Hannibal in the US dead

    Hannibal has had multiple representatives over the years in the US. The ones that I am aware of were Rover Accessories, Hannibal USA, then Sierra took that over. There may have been others. The lack of consistency may be why there is is a lack of post sale product support.

    Jeep Wrangler Habitat Official Release

    You are correct that the general shape and appearance is generally the same as the first NEMO. Many of the changes are small things that improve wet and cold weather performance and add convenience: skirting, privacy panels, rear window operation improvements, new screening, 3 awning capacity...

    According to UMV the shells are on schedule with a delay from the forge for the revised torsion rods which are now due in 2-3 weeks according to the forge. Other than that we should be on track.

    Habitat NEMO tent 1.2 We just received the new NEMO tent 1.2, second article sample and we have to say that we are very impressed with the work that has been produced. The flat seam double stitching is beautiful and the extra design features such as mesh pockets and gear loft are very handy and...

    Jeep Wrangler Habitat Official Release

    Jason pulled out just before the nasty weather hits with his habitat installed with a UMV tent. Install took a few hours as we were being careful to make sure that we did not miss any details. It sure turned out nice!

    Jeep Wrangler Habitat Official Release

    I spoke with John at UMV last night and the first tent is completed and is shipping out to us today. We expect to have it in house early next week and we'll take a day to fit to the top and make any final adjustments. 4 people have opted for the UMV tents and those units will be delivered first...
