How much are you willing to spend to avoid the hassles? Seriously curious.

150K? Sheesh. You could be right, but I'm thinking of half that price. You can buy a "for realsies" sports car for 150K. Might wind up fooling around with a female movie star after spending the dough. I'll tell you what. If China starts to import a Toyota chassis with a semi-reliable camper...

These rigs are seriously overpriced, though someone must be paying for them. I would love to have a 4X4 overland camper van rig. I'd be willing to pay "retail" prices for one: New diesel extended van = $50,000 ? 4X4 conversion = $5000.00 ? Cabinets, wheels, tires, appliances, suspension =...

You've built a very nice looking trailer. I wish I could find something similar for a JK.

You get points for that sir. This is probably a silly question, but were the beer cans swollen or punctured?

Kitchen Does this count?

I also have the "isothermic kit" for my Baroud RTT. It does make it a little warmer. But, when you get serious about being comfortable in the fall/spring..you will need a heater. :) Haven't tried an electric blanket though. Propex is the way to go.

I like it very much. No regrets about the price, and it's the first tent I've ever been able to sleep comfortably in. Mainly because it's just a big bed.

I took a look at the site...no fire pits listed. Pity. I'm interested.

Closing pictures I put some packing and closing pictures toward the bottom of my build thread. If anyone has an easier way to do any of it, I'd appreciate the tips. My build

Tent closing finally Only three more pics of tent closing technique: This is pretty typical of what hangs out: I tuck the sides and isothermic kit up and over the rear strut (which is now scissored): Then gently puch one side of the rear down and catch the hook (but do not latch): Do the...

More tent closing Sorry the thread is all jacked up. The portal is not behaving today. Can't delete the post above, so I'll just continue on: The "attached thumbnail" pain-in-the-*** bug at the bottom of the post above shows that everything is about 12 inches thick. Thanks to the down it will...

Packing the Baroud Space with the isothermic kit (winter double-wall kit) installed I told someone that I'd take some pics of the way I pack and close up the James Baroud Space and will post it here. It was hard to get "far-away" pictures while teetering on the ladder, but here they are anyway...

NOCO charging wires I ran the Bank 2 wire (for the NL Power Pack) under the carpet behind the rear seat: And had to add a 1.25 inch hole in the bottom of the NL to bring the NOCO charge wire up into the battery space without any wires showing after. It's not that I'm trying to be neat...there...

Shore power - battery maintenance Today I had time to install most of the NOCO. First I drilled a 2 inch hole for the NOCO shore power jack (which was a little nerve-racking): And mounted the jack. It is much more solid than I'd hoped for in the sheet metal. Keeping it close to the seam was...

I've been tinkering with the same concerns for a year or two (meaning that I've dumped thousands of dollars into proposed solutions). Bottom line, is that adding anything to the top of your Jeep (rack & or RTT) is going to dramatically change the fuel economy and ride dynamics involved. It will...

That is very cool!

Thanks sir. I live in a rural area and finding anything that is both good and reasonably priced for a JK on CL is a challenge. A couple of weeks ago I finally found a set of Rubicon rock rails for $80.00 and put them on. When I met the guy for the deal, it turned out that he was the same dude...

I agree with this, and that is how I do it too. Forgot to mention it earlier. I leave the rear about 8 inches open while tucking. Takes all the sweating, hurrying, and cursing out of the closing process.

I'm not too worried about the cost, but I do want maximum aH. What would you guys choose between Odyssey, Lifeline or Northstar?
