    Recovery boards for hella heavy truck?

    x2 for the fiberglass- heavy and the grit will cut through any strap, but peerless for traction and even some bridging.

    Building a Chinese expedition truck, possible ?

    Wow! Super compact! Will the front seats swivel around? I've seen some good examples of using a temporary enclosure for the shower & toilet so the area can be enjoyed when those functions are not required. These generally have a waterproof floor or pan and curtain walls that can be closed for...

    Fridge only or fridge/freezer?

    With a freezer, one tupper is many! I've found a fairly compact, square, Ziplock brand tub that I use for a mold. Meals get frozen in parchment paper in the tupper and decanted into a bag in the freezer, no space wasted on edges or lids. When something needs defrosting, it goes back in the tub...

    Which USED CC LWB Frontier to Get?

    The pre 2010 SMOD (strawberry milkshake of death) is real, but hasn't and won't happen to every frontier. My 2008 came with a stock transmission cooler for towing, never required the very simple bypass. Testing the coolant for hydrocarbons will let you know if there is any cross-contamination...

    New amazing Hymer Camper!

    Wow, they actually made it for sale! Surprising how similar it is to the concept vehicle. Really cool design and some amazing elements, I expect these to be copied for decades--

    Collapsible springlike coffee pour over

    I've got something similar, works well, but the water gets cold moving through it. Cold or windy mornings make tepid brew. Really cool to fold flat though... might check out the silicone one⬆

    Vagabond Outdoors Drifter

    UPDATE: had a chance to stop by the shop today- I live not too far away from Benica, and I was getting fairly worried now that TC has washed their hands of Vagabond. I had some time so I showed up un announced to ask after my two hundred teens reservation and the $7k deposit on it I put down on...

    Vagabond Outdoors Drifter

    With somewhere around 100 unbuilt campers and a minimum down-payment of $5k, plenty of folks stand to loose a lot of money if Vagabond throws in the towel.... Strange though, with that sort of order book, getting investors to step in and institute actual management seems possible, whereas going...

    Vagabond Outdoors Drifter

    It's looking like it's still only one camper a month, on average, since lockdown started years ago--nothing out the door this year since March! One should imagine that Phil is probably as communicative with his suppliers as he is with his clients (investors?), no surprise that he can't seem to...

    Securing Portable Toilet in Shower Pan?

    Well, not sure why you asked us, that looks like it does exactly what you need! It may be what other folks need too--nicely done.

    Kinda cool but not 4x4

    The point kinda has something to do with the thread title. Airports are traditionally flat--if that's where you camp or bug-out, be my guest.

    This is a great piece of kit for a dual battery setup and a good deal with shipping- GLWS

    Gladiator Pop-Up Pass Through Camper Build

    I've had a dual battery setup for a few years and it works well for what I do, which is mostly desert camping or at least trips with plenty of sunshine. The 2nd battery is a 110ah AGM mounted sideways inside the frame-rails below the driver's seat--not sure if you would have room for something...
