    Best full-size 4 season composite trailer?

    Actually all that you mention has been the norm for decades in the very few places that exist out East. But keep perpetuating the CA myth it keeps people from moving here and we have to many people here as it is.

    Best full-size 4 season composite trailer?

    LOL You definitely don’t go the places I do. I have seen many places get trailers banned. Specifically in places where old timers avoided being during whats now called Red Flag conditions without international news notifications. The few trailers pulled into those areas were stock trailers that...

    Best full-size 4 season composite trailer?

    CA uses its economic power to influence product change. CA banned 2stroke marine engines sales then we discovered water contamination with gasoline fuel additives and then banned them in our lakes, we got some pretty nice 4stroke stuff right after that. CA has banned cheap dirty generator sales...

    Best full-size 4 season composite trailer?

    To be the other side of the taking trailers into remote slightly challenging locations. Many of these places will likely see a ban on trailers beyond 4x6 ish in the near future. Why? Because in some less challenging locations they already have due to number of people frequenting the area and...

    Adventure Vehicle advice for a growing family?

    Yeah Boelkins comment definitely a major thing to listen too. Keep in mind base camping and cool Airbnb are very similar in some ways. One has way more accommodating aspects than the other. And if you get COVID price crazy on vehicle crap you likely spent 15yrs of amazing Airbnb base camp $ and...

    Truck Cap Aerodynamics: Wedge vs Standard

    The Oregon back roads guy actually did a mod that totally changed his cap in a great way. 1/2 the rear full barn door he made fixed with a bump out to give him extra bunk length that also would help structurally for the twisting challenge

    Truck Cap Aerodynamics: Wedge vs Standard

    The big slab /square rear side of all caps and other squared off back side vehicles and trailers share similar drag issues. Its a little of the frontal and a whole lot of the back side. Note the defusers truckers deploy on the back of their box trailers. You want a measurable improvement at the...

    Best full-size 4 season composite trailer?

    I’ve been involved in building fiberglass sailboats. Yes I have seen Oliver trailers and how they are built. The shell is chopper gun spray in like all cheaply mass produced glass stuff.

    Best full-size 4 season composite trailer?

    Escape and Oliver are built the same way only Oliver puts a internal shell inside theirs. Mehh looks nice but basically makes it impossible to fix vs Escape uses a soft liner. Casita uses carpet glued to the wall. All of them are chopper gun spray in chopped glass mat. Escape definitely adds...

    Snow chains for offroad use.

    Definitely figure out your clearance. The Zcables are decent today for low space needs, but they definitely are not as durable as chain. So keeping the spin out to a minimum ie managed at low speeds is important for not shredding cable style stuff. He checking tension a few times definitely is...

    Does Anyone Actually Use Their House Water for Drinking?

    Activated carbon is what we call T&O filter. Its only for taste and odor. In fact it’s referred to as a live basin filter media in the water biz. Yup stuff living in it, but harmless stuff.
