Being a new trailer, it will be interesting to see how it performs over the next year. You can do years of research, and believe you've specified every last detail, and the real world can still throw you an exploding curve ball. The X22 seems to have a pretty good resale value. After you go to...

That's why the high volume manufacturers are trying to get in on the "off road" action. Ember, Palomino, any trailer that installs a Curt suspension and calls it "Beast Mode", etc. They all see a chance to charge a premium and goose the profit margin. There weren't any dual axle trailers talking...

Tribe brand is written up on the ROA site but without any detail. RoamerX still has listed price of $110k, but you can't buy one yet. At least they finally removed RKS from their site.

There's just too much mystery out there about how these off road trailers are built. People make claims, but the videos and pictures they show never seem to tell the whole story. We'll probably be showing more about how the sausage is made than we should, and that will probably open us up to...

The The hardest part was finding five matching wheels that met the specs. We were finding two or three and then going back to the drawing board to look for a different brand/model. We finally succeeded on our 5th try.

And the beat goes on. The chassis is almost complete and above the floor work will begin this week. So far, we're still on track for a move in by April 1st. Our current New Horizons 5th wheel was a custom build 11 years ago, but we didn't have near the access to every detail of the build as...

We do "know" you. You just saved us a lot of portable grill research.?

What brand/model of grill is in that photo?

Just in time for camping season. Have fun at Snow Canyon.

That's a good thing. You never want your run of the mill basic screw to serve as a "structural" element. ?

Turning radius will definitely be an issue the owner needs to be constantly aware of. If you're towing with the right vehicle, I don't worry about tongue weight on a travel trailer. I'd much rather have extra weight on the front of a bumper pull rather than on the rear. I like that they...

Or it might be a trade in with ROA for the R1 he's getting. That might be a good unit for Eriestinger to look at.

It sounds like another useful upgrade, or at least something to pay close attention to, is to replace many/most/all of the exterior screws with stainless steel screws. The factory screws seem to want to work there way loose and corrode a little bit allowing for a bit of water infiltration in...

It looks like I couldn't make the video work. Check out the Kingdom Camping FB page for that.

Here's a quick update on our progress. The frame has completed its field trip to the hot dip galvanization tanks and is back in the shop ready for the CruiseMaster ATX installation and more. Here is a photo of some molten zinc action: There are more photos and information here: A Trailer for...

Discount Solar: A few very experienced "old guys" who excel at training and managing "younger" guys. ? I think a more accurate name for them would be "Fairly Priced Solar". They definitely aren't cheap!

Did you set up those pretty lights or are they on the trailer?

He's definitely up there as one of the best in the country for small space solar applications. He's the reason we were able to fit 1,920 watts of solar panels on a trailer that only has a 20' long box. Other good RV solar options, but with different business models, are Discount Solar in...

If you are a fulltimer, you need to either be very handy at fixing things or be very good at knowing how to locate people who are excellent at their chosen trade. Every time something fails on our trailer, we view it as an opportunity to upgrade to whatever the best product for us at the time...

Paris RV is an interesting place. They always seemed to have the best prices on Black Series and now are offering low prices on the Dweller. Maybe it's a previous year Dweller for sale with only a limited warranty? The lower price leaves some money in your pocket to fix things on your own if...
