I have been thinking about getting a full brush guard/replacement bumper for my 2019 F250. Normally, I would just go buy an ARB but they are not making one for the new F-250s. I mostly stick to fire roads, but my big reason for wanting a better front bumper/guard would be to prevent totaling...

I have a 2019 Ford F-250 Super Duty Pickup with a converted SpaceKap camper shell (build thread posted shortly). One last thing I would like to do is to upgrade the shocks/suspension for offroad usage. It is currently bone stock. What options would folks recommend for the heaviest duty/low...

I am trying to strategize the best way to install a dual battery system in my F-250 truck run a 110 volt plug from into to charge my ArkPak inside my SpaceKap shell, so it can charge via the interior 110 volt plug/alternator while driving as well as my solar panels on the roof. Also, is there a...

I have a custom fabricated steel hatch ladder from my Jeep Patriot I sold recently. I had the guys at Shaffer's Offroad in Alameda, CA fabricate it for me. Way better than Gobi. I will post photos when I get the chance. Also up on ebay at the moment. I'm looking for $500 and I'm based in...

I finally picked up my 8' SpaceKap and have it installed on my new F-250 (final build thread will be posted once it is all completed). Not an immediate concern but one thing I have been mulling over is the best insulation option for the SpaceKap. It might be a bit of a challenge to fit all the...

I am selling my trusty Autohome Columbus Small XL with standard rack mounting hardware, mattress ventilation mesh, and ladder/bag in the San Francisco Bay Area (East Bay). Overall nice preowned condition I'd say. I will post photos this weekend when I get the chance. The shell is very clean...

I have not been able come across this figure anywhere yet. Anyone know?

In my long process of looking at putting together a full-time truck camper (or van conversion) build plan, I wanted to reach out and see if anyone has experience with cutting/installing a full pass-through between the truck and cabin (say in this example a Ford F-150 and a SpaceKap Diablo) like...

https://www.tfltruck.com/2018/09/2019-mercedes-benz-sprinter-van-price-specs-gas-tech-review/ I'm a little bummed out that the 4x4 will not be available with the new 2.0L gas engine.

Decided to ask the marketplace for what I am looking for instead of the other way around. I am on the market for a 4x4 (or AWD) high roof (I'm 6'2") camper van and based in the San Francisco Bay Area. I'm looking for something with bulletproof reliability (if high mileage/older in particular)...

This is not intended to be a particularly productive thread (hence "rant") and somewhat hyperbolic, but I am trying to poke some fun at this topical absurdity. For the life of me, I do not full understand why the concept of a reasonably priced factory 4x4 or AWD van is so much to ask in the...

I just wanted to reach out to find out if anyone is aware of an aftermarket high tops for the Mercedes Metris? I called up fiberine, and they say that a high roof mold for the Metris is next up for them, but they are not likely to be ready until next year.

I recently put together the following: ArkPak 730 with BattleBorn LiFePO4 100 amp/hr battery in hopes of powering my National Luna 52L Weekender. I installed the battery in the ArkPak, changed the settings for LiFePO4, and charged it up. The ArkPak has a standard 50a Anderson output. The...

I'm planning on adding a 12 volt air conditioning system to my new rig to run on sunny days and maybe an hour or two at night. What is considered the current state of art for power consumption to output now in 2018? I have heard that the Earthcruiser guys use the Arctic Breeze systems which...

I have decided that in the end I have the budget for my new rig for quite a nice new power system. I know what my work circumstances are going to be like for the next few years (rarity these days) which will allow me long periods of working remotely from my new rig I'm building. I'm willing to...

Well, it would appear that the long awaited 2019 Ford Ranger reintroduction is upon us now: https://www.caranddriver.com/news/2019-ford-ranger-pricing-revealed Anyone on here planning on picking one of these up? Also, anyone heard about what payload capacity is supposed to look like?

I have been working on plans for the bed system in my new rig, and I have been going back and forth on how sophisticated I'd like to make a "bed leveling" feature. Since I will be full-timing my new rig and a lot of different settings (urban to remote) where it might be hard to find a level...

I am going to be converting an insulated SpaceKap Diablo to a camper in the Fall. One thing on my wish list is to install a roof hatch for the view, airflow, cleaning, access to solar panels and roof fan for adjustments/repair, and as an escape hatch (lol). Anyone have any recommendations for...

Does anyone out there have any experience on non-destructively and securely attaching flexible solar panels to a hard shell RTT surface with velcro? I'd like to avoid VHB and anything that would harm the gel coat if possible.

I just picked up a Dometic CFX-65 to replace my trusty ORCA cooler and seem to have run into an issue right out of the gate. It powers up with 120 volt wall plug just fine. However, it does not power up with the 12 volt cigarette plug at all (going into my Renogy Lycan which is functioning...
