A few years ago when we were looking at a slide in camper FWC was on our short list but a couple of things made us go in another direction. First the pricing…yes the base price was pretty reasonable but by the time you added what several other manufacturers included in their base price you were...

Just spent the last couple of hours catching up from the last time I visited your post. As a recently retired General Contractor I have to commend you on the quality of your work! I haven’t seen anything that I would have done differently. You have certainly found a slice of heaven there...

6 of us including the bush pilot flew onto the beach at Katmai which is actually state land and therefore legal to fly into. We walked as a group with no guns or any other protection…..just us and the bears. ‘They have never been hunted and are not afraid of humans and we’re actively engaged in...

We love bears too! Here’s a cell phone picture of a griz we took last summer at Katmai NP in Alaska. We counted 40 grizzlies in one large meadow which is affectionately called the bear garden. You have to fly in but it is well worth the expense…and yes he was that close!

We are going to South Texas mid April for a few weeks but will be in our other expedition vehicle (F-350 with a Hallmark camper). We hope to go to Canyonlands and Zion NP’s in September With the Glad. We have airbags in our truck camper because we don’t keep the camper on it full time. It has...

Not currently an EV owner but becoming interested in the concept. Our electric company leased a Nissan Leaf for members to borrow which we did last week. It was very interesting but a couple of issues would need to be resolved before they obtain mass market appeal imho. 1. The biggest issue...

Subscribed to your channel! As a Gladiator Rubicon owner we are building out our rig for extended overland travel as well and chose the Alu-Cab canopy after having used it on our Africa trips. I think you will absolutely love the Alu-Cab camper! One of the main benefits that we both will have is...

What a great history lesson! Thanks for posting.

Great trip planning and great discussions all around. ‘We are building our Gladiator for extended multi country trip (central and possible South America) and appreciate the discussions so far. We took a 15,000 mile trip this past summer from VA to AK and back and found the saying “keep it simple...

‘That’s great news for those that want one. I would assume that they will have a larger fuel tank as well. I think Ford’s new Bronco with a 6 cylinder twin turbo option pushed Jeep a little faster than it may have liked. Either way competition is good for all ofus.

Sending a pm with questions..

Another thing to consider is that in most trucks (not sure about the Ram) with the 8 ft. bed you get a larger fuel tank and that translates to longer range. The range came in handy on our recent trip to AK...

When I built my F-350 out I went with air bags primarily because the camper is not on the truck full time and I wanted the truck to ride as close to stock as possible when empty. We have used the air bags to level the truck with the camper on it and it has worked amazingly well. We went to...

Another fan of the Toyo AT3’s here. I have 20” wheels on my F-350 srw, cc, lwb truck with my Hallmark camper and fully loaded I‘m about 10,500 pounds. Before we went to Alaska this summer and knowing the issues on the Haul Road I decided to upgrade my tires to the 295/65R20’s above which have a...

I’m originally from NH and was there last weekend but not in our overlanding rig. NH is a beautiful state in the fall as long as you can avoid all the tourists on places like the Kang.!

I have a Hallmark Everest (8.5’) on my F-350 cclb with a 2” front lift on 35’s and am able to to many places people don’t think I can. You should be more than fine.

Well as said above everyone will have a different answer. Dan’s Wrangler is an amazing Vehicle but is primarily for one person. If you are thinking of taking your spouse, like me, then a Gladiator Rubicon is hard to beat. I’m just starting to outfit it but should have it done by next spring..
