    15 used Earth Roamers

    Good news, I saved over $735,000 buying my Terrain Tromping F-150.

    Bought a 2018 LX570

    So, that's the issue, I never had the Ecoboost, I've always had the V8, 5.0! Some may like the 6 bangers but I don't think it belongs in a truck, apparently I'm right, get a real truck, a V8, otherwise a larger diesel. So skeptical? Nah, just questioning the broad statement implying all...

    1997 Mitsubishi Fuso Canter Television Van 4×4 (BaT)

    Be nice for a Ham on field day. If you're over 5 foot 4 inches tal you might not be able to stand up back there. Talk about stealth, you could probably park at the police station and no one would bother you for fear of being interviewed.

    ITTOG's Truck Camper Build (was 6' x 12' Trailer Conversion)

    I like bags, pouches, containers that can hang or snap on or velcrowed up to hold stuff. Boxes are fun too, they can be hung on walls and taken out in seconds with a rack system. Red and black look good!

    Gladiator - Good/Bad?

    Most likely, the initial plan is to make consumers think they are getting "new, improved, special features while setting them up for break downs and shop time. Example, did you know a newish Jeep Cherokee Trail Hawk requires a special 12V battery that costs over $200.00, a good, $140.00, 12V...

    Bought a 2018 LX570

    Nice, but have owned F-150s for over 25 years, never had an over heating issue, that's hard to imagine with that small camper. Next, I've never been anywhere where my F 150 was too big, it always fit where I drove it.

    ITTOG's Truck Camper Build (was 6' x 12' Trailer Conversion)

    I'd go with the topo map. The bear with the gun is one of the most juvenile things I've seen as a wrap! But, then, 12 to 16 year old boys might think it was really badazzzz. As to carpet on ply, 3M clear glue does the trick and keeps auto/indoor-outdoor carpet on walls for years. I saw my old...

    Cargo trailer conversion.

    Been there, doing that. A standard production CT can last decades, 24" c, floor bracing is fine for a bike and PPC with a 3/4 ply floor. Mine is a standard "Razorback" trailer built in Arkansas. I bought mine used and at a steal of a deal, like new for $2,000.00 and I got it just to haul my 1800...

    I Found it in the Woods

    The 30th was 25 years ago! And about that time I found true love in the woods. :)

    Great trailer for two, a center island queen bed is a must for us.

    expedition VW beetle

    I traveled/camped in '68, '69 in MO. in '73, 74 in Europe and '80 along the Gulf of Mexico. You can trick out a bug to go where no Jeep would dare, floating down a river. Bugs are cool, besides, they are quicker than those giant condos on wheels.

    Overland Solar Tracking System

    Well, my AC is currently buried in the garage, so, no, off hand I don't know what the power requirement is, just that my 200p unit will start it and run it, after that it depends. I might suggest you take your product to the yachting world where weight may not be as critical. I didn't see the...

    Overland Solar Tracking System

    I'd bet this would be something that those piloting $500,000.00 and up rigs bite on, maybe for a few full timers that have smaller systems that need to be optimized for a more reliable system. Very few here will have a system that warrants a tracking system. Where did you get your numbers to...

    Budget for truck and habitat

    A budget is made to manage financial aspects of some activity or function and is devised after considering income, expenses and assets on hand along to expend on that matter. So, someone stating a dollar figure really means nothing, except it may reflect their financial position, since they...

    BIG, Cheap and Looks to be a 4WD Van for $1500!

    What did the owner perform ? It could make a difference to a buyer.

    Best hoses and connectors for plumbing a water system?

    Use PEX, especially for cold weather applications. Yes, it takes a special tool to clamp the connectors/fittings shut, mine was $70.00 at Lowes. Fittings are not weak points if properly installed, problem is, it takes some practice, time and patients to crimp them evenly to secure the joint...

    Snow Camping

    Snow camping? I guess that could be a thing. Go to upstate NY around Ft. Drum where the snow will be 12 to 18 feet deep and temps run around -35 to -50....then go camping, staying in a vehicle is cheating, get out there a dig a snow cave! Have some real fun....

    Anyone used commercial carpet tile in RTT?

    I suggest you find auto or better yet, marine grade carpet in a roll, install it with double face tape. Perhaps a bit cheaper, go with indoor-outdoor carpet on a roll, I would not use glue on tiles over metal for outdoor use.

    Combining Portable and Fixed Panels

    Most likely you can't connect ecoflow generators "together" as each has it's own charge controllers that limit charging and inverters that limit output. Some units allow "pass through" operations, generally used for emergency backup or with medical equipment, check with the maker. Not only do...
