We bought a 8'6" Lance camper used last year while I continue to plan our ultimate camper. Ours has a wet bath(shower, toilet and sink). I thought the shower was overkill but I soon found it to be great. Nothing like a hot shower after a day of snowshoeing in sub zero weather while we camp in...

Is that NidaCore for the walls, roof, and floor? If so what thicknesses are you using, it looks like a couple sizes? Thanks -Chris

Come on over to the east side of the Cascades. Plenty of space over here, and it's dry, by the Yakima area, and there is a fairly big powerboating community in the tri-cities(Kenewick, Pasco, Richland) area. Or Seattle is about 2 1/2 hours away. I don't have any extra space myself but I might...

I scored an old Catalina aluminum awning case of my parents Casita. It's about 10' long, and I can carry 8-10 rods with no problem. I used stainless u-bolts to attach it to my yakima rack on the roof of my lance, and I used a ladder lock from homedepot to keep everything secure. Works great and...

Please no. I spend a good one third of my day trying to explain to people the concept of disposable not serviceable. Who ever came up the freewheel disc brake equipped bike should be... forced to ride their own creation and see how well/long it works. -Chris

Did you just wire them straight into the existing reverse lights? Did you add a relay? Thanks -Chris

The IMBA just had a big get together in Georgia (I think). But regardless check out this link for some clubs that maybe near you. -Chris

Glad to hear it! I hope you enjoy the bike, and I'll warn you ahead of time that riding can become an addictive and expensive activity! -Chris

I might have all the parts you need to rebuild it, but you'll need someone with the knowledge and the proper bushing remover and installer tools. It's, probably, not worth the labor charges. We usually sell people with old 1" steer tube forks a rst replacement for about $150 with labor. Do you...

Your right. I was thinking 63mm but typed 80mm(subbed in a sid in place of a mag21). FWIW I was digging through the old shock parts bin at work the other day and we have a mess of old NOS rockshox parts... Collectors items! Here they come ebay. :wings: -Chris

I've never rode one, but Trek dropped the 69'er model from this years line. maybe it just didn't catch on? You have to remember that going to a 29" front wheel with a suspension fork is going to drastically change your headtube angle making it very slack. Your starting out with a frame that was...

Are those lights on the back of your camper wired into your backup lights or are they more like a porch light switch in the camper? I want to put some better lights on the back of my rig! -Chris

As I begin to finalize plans for our camper I'm trying to get specifics on some of the builds I have admired on here for awhile. Is the entire structure built with nida-core and then joined at the edges with fiberglass cloth and resin? I see the angled aluminum for the edges, but that's not...

Do you have an idea of what the interior dimensions of the earthroamer xv-lt are? I'm wondering what the measurement is from the front wall of the lower living area to the back(inside)DIMENSION A of the closet. And the width DIMENSION B. I'm also planning a possible camper build and I'm liking...

Now that is a nice ribbon of trail! That photo makes me happy. -Chris

Marc, It looks like you swapped out wheels. Did you goto some different tires also? Size? I'm curious as to how thick the hard walls are and are they a foam-cored material? This thing is rad! Thanks -Chris

New wheels about $120 and Avid mechanicals will set you back about $120 for both wheels. For a new intro offroad bike that can take some abuse and live to tell about it: I sell quite a few of the Rockhopper Comp Disc. They hold up pretty well to the very rough trails of the west and are easily...

While not ideal, there are adapters to convert the splined hubs to traditional 6 bolt. -Chris

Really good point. Just be cautious of older bikes that may have worn out drivetrains or etc. Like with the cars/trucks you see here on the Portal there are some great used rides out there, but they frequently need some love. -Chris

I think the 4300 rim brake bike is a better bike, for the same money, than the 3900 disc. -Chris
