I picked it up through https://cruiserbrothers.com/ who were the US distributors back in the summer of 2018. I think they moved to https://longrangeamerica.com/. I felt it was a game changer when I was towing the trailer as it finally put me back in the 300+ mile/tank range versus the ~200...

Misc. Lighting and Wiring: You can never have too many lights, right? I plan on adding some LED strip lighting to the underside of the awning bars but those would only be usable when the awning is deployed. I stumbled across these...

Those look pretty neat but I'm likely going to something more permanent attached to the bottoms of the awning arms so they just get packed away with the awning. I've done similar in the last on the ARB bag awnings but I'll have to give options some consideration.

Yep - That's what I was told after we unboxed mine and found that the table and shower mount was backwards. While I understand that customization can interfere with assembly line efficiency I can't agree with not making a "US Package" that would have the reversed door swing, reversed shower and...

That's a bummer for sure - it was going to be a breaker for me as I wanted the fridge and cook setup off the passenger side. They were hesitant to do it but said they would otherwise I was just going to order the RHS awning and find a way to mount it myself. That said you might have dodged a...

I think you guys will like the camper a lot. I got mine installed in late January and have been working on it pretty much non stop with all the warm weather we've had. The build thread (https://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/alumescapes-alucab-canopy-build-thread.213277/) is running...

Solar: I have had success with Renogy products previously and decided when I moved to this platform that I'd step up to 200W of solar from the 100W I previously ran. This should make up for the increase in fridge size from the ARB to the CFX 75 and overcome some of the inefficiencies with hard...

Thanks, I ordered my flooring through www.bigfloors.com as it was the best deal at the time and shipping was free. So far I'm happy with the garage style flooring over anything else. From my notes it looks like the fridge bolts were stainless M6x1.0. I used 60mm long ones to go through the...

Since getting this thing in January I've been taking advantage of the abnormally warm weather to chip away at the build list. First thing first was to do some cleanup. Being an aluminum camper with carpeted finishes on the inside meant that during the building and journey across the Atlantic a...

So I have already been using the Tacoma for travel since new and in mid 2013 I began fabrication of my own offroad camper trailer (see build thread here). From spring of 2014 to the fall of 2019 fall I've used this setup to travel most of the eastern seaboard and into Canada covering roughly...

The Truck: Truck is a 2012 Tacoma DCLB. Some things fitted over the years: - Blue Sea ACR and Dual Duracell 35/85AGM - ARB front bull bar, 9" round LED's, Rigid SAE pods, Warn 9.5xp-s with in cab control - Cali Raised LED side pods and windshield mounts - Wet Okole seat covers and Weathertech...

I ordered in September and they could not/would not flip the door, and I believe their main objection was that the locking arm and door strut bracket would need to be re-engineered. I was able to order with a RHS awning and having the shower cube and table slide under the overhang reversed...

I hear you man, I was so disappointed when they went the way they went with it. I'm glad there is now a work around to it because I wasn't looking forward to updating to a new server and updating all my build threads!

Looks great Sam, glad to see this still coming together!

Well I hadn't realized how long it'd been since I put some updates on here so here goes! Trailer is still treating me great and it's still getting tweaks here and there. In the last year it's been primarily little things like adding stickers from destinations and a little map of states visited...

Certainly, here are a few from the truck and trailer: :beer:

Quite right, I've notice the reduced output more on the Tacoma than the trailer so far - I'm fortunate that I don't have much in the way of draw in the trailer other than the occasional use of lights and recharging phones and camera gear. I did pick up a fixed 100w and folding 100w renogy setup...

Thanks! It's always good to get positive feedback and contribute ideas to the forum!

@Ruined Adventures - Tried PM'ing you back regarding the Vehicle-Dependent Expedition Guide but I think your box is full? Anyway, you're welcome to swing by and I'll give you the tour! We can play the time by ear, I've seen where they posted up the seminars and demos and such but for the life...
