    No lithium since shipping from overseas would have been a lot more. 350 watts of solar and 240ah of battery life. We have the freezer instead of a fridge which works well for us since we get our proteins delivered frozen. We are getting a plug in fridge the same size for the next trip to keep...

    Have you considered the Conqueror Falcon. All in including shipping, and tax to the west coast looking at less than 50k. https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/High-Quality-offroad-caravan-rv-mobile_1601068047001.html I think ROA offers these as well, but not sure.

    Oh not at all man. You've made your thoughts on anything not US built well know. It's clear you think US built FRP boxes are the way to go, you bought one. I prefer all metal construction. Different strokes for different folks.

    I paid 29k all in including shipping and all the fees for using an importer and transport. Only pay $45 for 5 years in California registration due to the size. I had no concerns since I did my due diligence and everything ended up as promised. Can't see the quality difference being worth...

    I had the same issues with weight since I tow with a VW Atlas which has a 5000lb tow limit. I went with a unit from a Chinese manufacturer called NJSTAR. There's a thread on here where myself and 2 others have order one. Not sure how big the kids are, but if they are still small it will work...

    There is a cover that goes over it as well as a rainfly. It is held under tension with stainless steel poles and mounts on the fron. Tested it in the rain on a trip, no pooling at all. That photo is just the front bed extended.

    I don't take any of it personally at all. If my unit sucked I would be on here slamming them and telling others to avoid at all costs. For warranty work they either ship parts if its an easy fix, I had a bad hinge on a cabinet and the sent new hinges and a new cabinet door just to be sure it...
