    Our Kingdom Camping Trailer Build

    It's nothing fancy. I just wanted a port that I could pass the Starlink end connector through (it's an odd, squared off shape that's wider than the the cable itself). The port also had to be weatherproof. That's what they installed. I didn't want anything installed that was proprietary only to...

    Our Kingdom Camping Trailer Build

    Nice video. We hadn't seen that yet. We made a pilgrimage to Truma today to get a thorough review and overview of the Combi Comfort Plus system. They are a great bunch of people at the Elkhart HQ. Even the ones from Germany. :)It's way more capable than anything we plan on needing. You'll be...

    Our Kingdom Camping Trailer Build

    We've been living with some variable weather for the past few days in Indiana, so we have some initial thoughts. The box has such thick walls/floor/roof that it doesn't take much for the 12v AC to keep it cool. The envelope is also very airtight. The best test was the cool weather. We went...

    Our Kingdom Camping Trailer Build

    We are battening down the hatches for a few days of nasty weather before heading back to Idaho next week. We are moved into the new trailer and learning how to work happily with the reduced space! One thing that turned out better than we expected was skipping all the decals in favor of laser...

    Propane vs Diesel Heating Units

    I think diesel is an interesting choice if you have an RV with a diesel engine. That way, you already have a tank on board, and it's being refreshed on a regular basis. On a trailer like ours, you need to install a diesel fuel system. A propane line is just an easier, less expensive option (even...

    Our Kingdom Camping Trailer Build

    I think Jamin recorded one for Facebook. We'll get more up later. We've had some really long days for the last week and have seven more ahead of us before we get back home. I forgot how bad I70 in Colorado is (and the roads in Illinois). An offroad trailer is about the only thing that can take...

    Our Kingdom Camping Trailer Build

    It turned out even better than the photos and the specs on paper. It's a little bigger than the X195 and R1, but it's also $60k less with the same options. Pretty good deal!

    Any experience with Ember trailers?

    All you have to do is tour an Ember to realize how flimsy the construction and fit and finish are. It's made to look good and has some high end components (ie., Truma), but you're going to see quality and failure issues around these trailers for years. Especially if anyone actually tries to take...

    ...and don't forget to replace that spare tire every five years or so, even if you never used it.

    Pause overland trailer

    People have lost sight of the old saying "everything you need and nothing you don't need". There are also a lot of people new to Rv'ing who don't know what they don't need.

    I'm sure ROA upgraded the toilet in exchange for taking it off their hands. ?

    Our Kingdom Camping Trailer Build

    OK, we're getting about ready to move into this thing already. It hasn't been that long since we first started with the specs and Kingdom Camping started building, but after a while, all this "talk" is enough! We're ten days and 2,000 miles away from moving in. The big, beefy front storage box...

    Imperial Outdoors Xplore XR22

    I'm surprised that these high priced trailers don't give buyers a "budget" during the specification stage to choose and ship your own mattress to them for installation. We were able to do that with our Kingdom Camping trailer and picked out a sweet 10" thick gel/memory foam queen size mattress...

    I'm also very interested to see how the bolted-together aluminum frame holds up over time on the off road. I hope there are Pause owners who come here with honest feedback about what they like and don't like about the different models.

    Same with us. That's just one reason we ended up working with Kingdom Camping to build a dual axle off road trailer for us. At $100k, it's not cheap, but it's comparable in specifications to an Xplore X195 with Stage III solar. It also has that walkaround queen size bed so many of us want. I...

    Can't wait to get a hold of this so we can take some more interesting photos!

    Our Kingdom Camping Trailer Build

    , A good thing about the aluminum framing is that you have a lot of options for fastening heavier items. The space in this trailer is really flexible. You can design the central area the way we did, build a dinette, design a folding bunk bed or benches, etc.. You aren't forced into just one...

    Our Kingdom Camping Trailer Build

    We've almost reached the top! Most of the interior is complete and the next major work will be the "no maintenance" roof sealant, solar array mounting rack, solar panels, and 12v AC unit. The plan remains to reach Millersburg, Indiana in16 days from now to take delivery. Here are two interior...
