    There are three different sizes in the Fiamma F35: F35 Pro 180 6' W x 6' Ext (13.2 lbs) F35 Pro 250 8' W x 7.5' Ext (19.8 lbs) F35 Pro 300 10' W x 7.5' Ext (23.1 lbs) If you have a LWB vehicle, the F35 Pro 250 is a nice option. We have a client who fitted one onto his G-Wagen, it turned out...

    Reviews of the Magellan Crossover.

    I have the Magellan Crossover in my Comanche. I replaced an original Street Pilot. I like the ease of use for street navigation It has locked up twice on me. Once when I first turned it on and just the other day. It's easy to reset and locked back on satellites right away. I have had the unit...

    Tom Brokaw and Yvon Chouinard at Zeitgeist '07

    Agreed! If it were not for the internet, Martyn & I would have never met and Adventure Trailers would never have been conceived.

    Tom Brokaw and Yvon Chouinard at Zeitgeist '07

    How true. Those of us who have fewer resources at hand struggle a bit at this. As easy as it would be for me to turn my phone and isp off, they are my connection to our clients and hence the life blood of our company. that connectivity simplifes and complicates at the same time. I admire Yvon...

    Expedition Trophy 2007

    Just piping in to say that Scotty and I had a wonderful time at ET. We felt so honored to be in the presence of such an incredible group of people. Having never put on a clinic before and listening in on the others, we sure learned a lot. Kudos to the organizers who put it all together and kept...

    Chaser #1

    We are working on a room for the Horizon based on the Fiamma F35 Pro awning. There are a variety of components from their other models sold in EU that will work with some modifications stateside to make them compatible with both the Horizon, Chaser and vehicle roof racks. A prototype is in the...

    in-cab battery - AGM or gel?

    Only Valve Regulated AGM batteries can be mounted inside. The Optima Group 31 yellow top is not valve regulated. Lifeline and Deka offer this feature on theirs. In you decide to use an Optima 31 yellow, there is a vent tube in the center of the battery where the side meets the top that is for...

    Battery Poll

    We initially used Optimas in our trailers until we started to see cell failures. This may be coincidental but it started after there was a change of ownership at Optima. Since then have used both Lifeline and Deka group 31 deep cycle batteries in our trailers with 100% success. Both are valve...

    Where to buy "Aussie" style trailers?

    That's correct, we do rent trailers out. We have a limited supply of rental units so it is best to plan your trip as far in advance as possible. It is a good way to see if the trailer will fit your needs or not before making a commitment. If it is a fit, we credit up to one weeks rental towards...

    The S T I N K !!!!!!!

    I have found 3 things that help get rid of stink: 1 - Washing the offending object with cider vinegar...better to smell like pickles than...well...old baby you know what. We do this with our rental trailers that have fridges. 2 - Limes. When making margaritas, I always stuff one down the...

    Thule or Yakima?

    I have used both. Both have a great products. I used to tote my 14' sunfish sailboat on top of my Subaru Justy with just 2 Yakima bars. We opted to use Thule at AT here for RTT applications because the rectangular bar offers more surface area for mounting and hence less psi on the contact...

    Feral Green - California to Tierra del Fuego

    Some updates.... September 21, 2007 The last week in Baja produced more highs and lows for Feral Green than a UCLA football season ending with pepper spray. We found out the brakes on our truck were shot the hard way. Pushing them to the floor and realizing we were 14,000 pounds without a...

    AT Chaser vs. Horizon / Pros and Cons?

    Okay, back from 2 days of moderately windy conditions on the Monterey Peninsula to test the awning set up. It worked well. It was staked down at the feet and never budged. The side walls did not get deployed as I forgot to drill the additional holes in the case that are required at the shop...
