I’m still riding a ‘90s rigid mtb. I’m in my 40’s now and am looking for something with a bit smoother ride for mild to moderate stuff. No 5’ drops, probably. This is about $600 after shipping. Seems to be about 2-300$ cheaper than comparable bikes available at local bike shops. Good bike for...

Still can’t get a big fuel tank in a half ton GM right?

Just buy any full size. Get the big fuel tank, a locker, and the towing gears.

Can you recommend any such converters that can live under the hood?

That was the same problem I had with my ‘19 Ranger.

I cant bring myself to spend $900 for 2 lights. I bought some old school 100 watt halogen lights and just bolted them to the bumper. My alternator is over 200 amps, which is way bigger than they were in the 80's. I think the low draw of the LED's is a bit over hyped.

My grandpa would live out of a 13’ scamp when doing road construction out of state. He towed it with a diesel vw rabbit. I guess he was pretty frugal.

Besides obvious differences in cargo and people hauling I’d say the biggest difference is fuel capacity. You’re not going to find many SUV’s with a 36 gallon fuel tank. That can really open up options when you’re touring around with your trailer getting 13mpg.

Seems about the same as my Ranger with the 2.3 turbo. This setup got 14mpg using the recommended 91 octane for towing. That 18 gallon tank is real lame when you're trying to make time across the wide open states and you have to stop every 2 hours for fuel.

On a few different trucks I've used these "tap a fuse" to trigger the auxiliary lights' relay. I like that it doesn't require modifying factory wiring. You just have to go through your fuse box with a test light and see which fuse goes hot when your highbeams are on. There are several styles...

I'm sure olivers are good but they're not worth three times the price of a Casita.

I wish I could find a Casita listed for sale around here in MN. Maybe one with the twin beds. Until then our Scamp will do. We’ve got the deluxe with the solid wood cabinets. It’s way better than the Forest River crap I work on every day. The scamp came with tiny tires. Even going to the 205/75...

The real weight is on the vin sticker on the exterior of the unit.

Do you have the optional propane furnace? If so keep your battery charged from your tow vehicle, maybe add a second battery and you might be fine.

If you’ve got a factory seven way trailer plug you should have a power wire in there that is separate from lights and brakes. It’s usually ten gauge and fused at 20 or 30 amps.

I stuck some 100w knock off KC daylighter halogens on my truck until I find something I'm excited about. They're not any brighter than the LED's bulbs I've put in the stock highbeams. They're $12 a piece though. Hopefully they'll burn off the sticky snow that blocks off the led's.

You ever take it off any sweet jumps?

I believe these ELF busses are FRONT WHEEL DRIVE. They use some kind of independent suspension in the rear to get a low floor.
