I go through < 2lb... so I guess you can't go by me.

A 3.6L Wrangler should be a lot better than 11 though, 20 at least on the highway...no? Fuelly says overall average ~18 vs ~22 for the diesel.

If going offroad, definitely the Aeon. I'd put a little bigger tires on it (VC says 265/75r16 (31.6") work with that lift vs 245). Better build, much more powerful engine, better ground clearance, cheaper maintenance... but less room. Aeon would still be lacking offroad compared to a truck...

Just sayin'... if they come for you and put you in a straight jacket, and stick you in a padded cell... don't let them know you did that. Tell them you were willing to pay 2x for a vehicle with all the metrosexual doodads. They might let you go...

It appears that the sleeping orientation will be 90 degrees (E-W), which means one person will be deeply buried in a tight space, and won't be able to pee without forcing the other to get out of bed. If you never need to pee in the night or go to bed late, then that can be your spot. Otherwise I...

I don't know about the NPR with a 4WD conversion but the 550/5500s turn sharper than any pickup. The added front track width allows this. Also, how much vertical space do you have in the berth once a mattress is in? It looks very tight. I hope you've tested that this is acceptable.

Only on slide-ins and they only do it because they have to. There is no floor attachment at all; the only thing keeping the camper on is those 4 turnbuckles. That 3500 lbs you mentioned is almost always pointed down; resting on the bed. TC uses 1/4" fiberglass tubing in the core, with a steel...

FUD Show me your work. BTW how is yours attached?

^Like I said. I didn't mean outside the Walmart, but inside...

Perfect for cruising the local Walmart, though...

If you turn your bars 90 deg, then the fork mount will inherently lack lateral stability... it will pivot around the axle. Yes it will be clamped, but there won't be enough friction there to stop the bike from moving. As I recall the bikes are mounted to the sides of the compartment... one on...

^Experience certainly helps! Got a photo? Lateral support? I have a feeling that VV's bikes are high $ and he wouldn't want them touching or banging into anything.

So... a standard thru-axle mount that attaches to a bar that has the eye-nuts on it? That would take care of the angle issue. Would still need to move the hooks up and down if you want the tire secured on the floor, but Ltrack would work for that. The rattle clearance would be less than...

What I meant by 5 series is Ford 550 or Ram 5500 pickups with GVWR in the 19k lb range, and over 2/3 of that on the rear axle. These are commonly used in the US for large offroad rigs. My Tundra is pretty balanced front and rear.

GVWR of >10k lbs. Why is this a 1500? Seems very odd. Looks like they are using that chassis, but it's ~2,000 lbs heavier than the V8 1500.

For a 1/2 ton...

(y) If I'm visualizing your description correctly, you'll need to get the angle exact on the fork mount, and it will be bike specific. Maybe if there was pivot between the mount and track? Extra lateral support would be needed too, because the fork mount won't provide that.

If you have two controllers you can mix voltages, but if they are all inputs to the same MPPT they should be 24V. Even then, variable shading, sun angle, and panel specs will make it less than optimal to put everything in one controller... but it should work fine. I use 24V (actually ~32V)...

As I recall ER certifies their rigs above the manufacturer's GVWR, which maxes at 19,500 lbs.

Buy it !!!
