I think the speculation from some experts is that if you have a wheel in the air spinning....and then it comes down & gains traction.....the sudden deceleration on a vehicle of that mass makes the driveshaft twist up. A comment on the video is that this rig didn't have lockers, so wheel spin...

I mean, yeah. If money was no object I think this is the rig that both my wife and I could agree on. Pretty much all of the advantages of a hard-top, plus the advantages of a popup. With a nice finish as well. I guess time will tell on the durability.... Both of us own Tigers.....fyi, so that...

I'll admit to feeing a little cheeky when I commented on weight this morning....... but seriously: Is the Nimbl also over payload on a 3500? Probably? But it is removable, so they aren't technically responsible for you choosing to overload your vehicle...... The Basecamp: weighs 2950 Dry...

Looks like a 1-ton......so still overweight for the platform? Guess time & truck scales will tell.

Separate question, but you can remove/remount the Project M? I figured it just sat on the bed rails/removal & replacement over time would make it not seal well.

Yeah, we are tinkerers, so this is Camper #4 for me (Vanagon, Chevy Express home build, Transit home build, Tiger). We are just wrapping up a switch from 440 AhAGMs to 400 Ah Lithium in our Tiger.

I messaged the seller on FB. I guess they were going to move onto a truck/trailer combo, but in the end they couldn't find anything that they liked as much as the Tiger, so they opted to keep it.

A few points to clarify on the above question: 1) we live in Flagstaff, not Phoenix, so keep in mind our use-case is more similar to Colorado. 2) we have the Nomadic Cooing 3000, which is theoretically 11800 btu, and is mounted above the galley. Thoughts: *The limiting factor to A/C in a Tiger...

The Ford based ROSSMONSTER in the OP is at Overland Expo with a "show price" of $275k. The Dealer owned ROSSMONSTER linked above (Chevy platform) has been marked down to $250k. Curious to see how long this continues for.....

I hear that, and I'm late to the party on this so I'll defer to your judgement. I've got an f350 Lariat and that is the most luxurious vehicle I've ever owned. But to me: well made seats, well insulated vehicles (for road noise & being able to listen to stereo at a reasonable volume), simple...

I got $87k on the builder for what was basically the TrailMaster w/ Leather heated seats and a safari rack. The TrailMaster has a lot included....opted out of other stuff ($1200 for a light bar) because realistically I'd rather select those myself for less $$. So, it doesn't seem too outlandish...

Who knows. Been calling for rain all week, and it kinda all depends on where in Flagstaff you are. Hasn't rained at Fort Tuthill for more than 10 mins in the last 5 days, but the peaks got a soaking yesterday. So, if that continues, maybe a little rain to keep the dust down, but otherwise it...

Here you go: https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/our-kingdom-camping-trailer-build.237165/ Looks super cool, also checks a lot of my boxes as well. Just searched, and they are not listed as a vendor at Overland Expo Flagstaff this year (maybe he just goes to the Colorado one), unless...

Will be there Saturday......but its really only because I live nearby. Good luck to all. Victorian, always happy to see your rigs in person!

Chainsaws usually have an inherent length due to their (2) handed operation. I've got a Stihl MS250 with a 16" bar, and a Kobalt Electric with a 12" bar, and while the Kobalt is lighter, the length of the body is almost the same, and most of the "savings" in length is made up by the bar only...

I'll chime in on this one. Previous Transit High Roof owner. I one of the primary advantages of the Transit/Sprinter is the higher roof. In a regular/low roof configuration, the E350 or even Chevy Express, is, IMO, a better chassis. More "truck-like" body on frame, more wheel options, better...

I don't find it surprising at all..... Provan's been making Tigers for years, and you really can't find much info about them at all on social media, youtube, here (like actual user experiences). Granted Provan appears to do no marketing, no social media, and does brisk sales of 35-50 (?) units a...

I guess that is a good point about Tail Swing. I've driven 40' buses over mountain passes in Colorado. Those have a long wheelbase, and a long overhang (10+ feet). What was the most difficult, though, was the rear tires tracking inside the turn on a long wheelbase vehicle, and 90% of the time...

Ugg, thanks to me looking at this I'm now getting FB/Instagram advertisments for this thing......
