    Camping Lab?

    I picked mine up there yesterday, it arrived in good condition. Got it unpacked and assembled last night, the only problem being the zipper slider was squeezed shut and I could not get the zipper started. Some needle-nosed pliers fixed that. I hope to get it fitted to the trailer this...

    Camping Lab?

    AZchris, DarthBeaver and I apparently bought the last three that he had. If he is out of stock, perhaps he should have taken down the Ebay ad. My tent arrived at the UPS freight yard yesterday, and I am picking it up after work today. Unfortunately, I leave for vacation tomorrow and won't be...

    Camping Lab?

    Ha, that's funny! I guess we will both find out, I just ordered one through their website yesterday.

    Looking for a better tent.

    Um...did you actually check out the way these tents set up? I had a big REI dome tent several years ago, and these Springbars look like a breeze to set up compared to that pain-in-the-rear dome tent. Maybe dome tents have come a long way since then, but I still don't see how they could be much...

    Looking for a better tent.

    I have heard really good things about these: http://www.springbar.com/explore/tentmodels/index.html I was planning to get one before I bought my trailer and decided to go the RTT route.

    Camping Lab?

    Yeah, I'm in the same boat. That's really unfortunate. I guess I need to start shopping around. Anyone know anything about the CVT (Cascadia Vehicle Tents) brand tents? They look like another version of the same Chinese made tent, and the price isn't bad, even when you allow for shipping.

    Camping Lab?

    Just got a reply. He doesn't expect more tents until July.

    Camping Lab?

    Has anyone had any contact with Fernando lately? The site says that 2 of the 3 tent sizes are out of stock, and he is not responding to emails. I'm starting to wonder if I need to locate another tent source.

    Finally Finished Refurbing

    The box isn't very big, maybe 4' square or so. But I tend to travel light when I camp. Once the RTT is on there, that will free up more space. The ice chest and a couple of water cans can be strapped down on the front deck. That should leave more than enough space in the trailer box and...

    Finally Finished Refurbing

    When you say "milspec", do you mean actual military, or Mispec Offroad? Because it was indeed built by what used to be Milspec Offroad. His website is still out there, but he's not in business any more. Watch the website, though - last time I looked at it, it was infected with a virus.

    Its not military. It was made by a guy that isn't in business any more.

    Finally Finished Refurbing

    It looks about the same as before, because I kept it olive drab, but I finally got the last bits reassembled after disassembling, new brake drums to match the bolt pattern on the Tacoma, new wheels, tires to match the Tacoma, and fresh paint. Now its time to get a RTT on it!

    When pots and pans need to get bigger? Backpacking to trailer

    The trouble with something like that is, the non-stick coating eventually wears out, and then you end up with a nice set of pricey doorstops. Better to go with the cheap non-stick pans that you can toss when they are done.

    Has anyone done fiberglass over foam trailer?

    Google info on surfboard construction. Surfboards are basically fiberglass over foam. At least they used to be, maybe they make 'em different in modern times!

    What leaf springs are you guys using?

    Jeep YJ for me. Don't know if they are front or back, I didn't build the trailer.
