    TetonX Hybrid

    Hmmm... that's 5" taller than me... I've got the 2" lift version of the Timbren suspension (which is apparently 3" higher with the Hybrid weight) and don't often hit the awning. The flip side is that the counter, sink, stove, fridge, ... are also higher. A lot depends on the slope where you're...

    TetonX Hybrid

    The original doors that they used were standard teardrop doors which are generally 26" wide and 36" tall. The new (Arctic Tern) doors are 27" wide and 43" high (24 1/4" x 40 3/8" opening). I have no problem getting in or out as long as I'm paying attention - we have grab handles above the door...

    My tank also has M0102 stamped on the handle - but no 006062.It's got a sticker inside the handle that says it's a Flame King YSN011 and that it's an 11 lb tank. It's in a Powertank holder on a TetonX.

    Best way to secure a Max Coupler hitch when leaving the trailer in camp for the day

    I drilled out the hole in the coupling pin and put a padlock through it - prevents someone from removing the pin when I'm in a parking lot somewhere also. My Max Coupler is bolted to the trailer - can't be removed. I generally run a chain through a wheel and the frame also.

    Always glad to help where I can. We're heading out tomorrow morning for a week, so I probably won't respond until after that.

    TetonX Hybrid

    One other thing we noticed last week in Moab - keep the solar panels clean. When we got in to Moab, the solar panels were only generating 20 watts. I figured out that they were dusty, so I used a windshield cleaner at a gas station to clean them off and they went up to normal output. By the...

    We've got three 100 AH BattleBorn LiPos located in a metal (tight fit, so probably couldn't be made out of an insulating material) battery box inside the tongue box: The inverter is on the front wall under the bottom shelf forward of the water heater and furnace (more difficult to get to, so...

    TetonX Hybrid

    The Hybrid has a door for storage on the drivers side - opposite the sink/stove drawer. But you have to be careful not to put stuff in there that would interfere with the hoses that supply the water to the sink: I wanted to use that space better without interfering with the hoses, so I built a...

    Regarding the battery... Just got back yesterday from Moab. We have 3 LiPo batteries and 200 watts of solar. Based on our usage, we could definitely last through 2 days of completely cloudy weather and could probably last through 3 days. With sunny days, 1 battery will be totally fine - it's...

    Do people really take their off-road teardrops through gnarly trails?

    I suspect it could be done somehow - the bed extension we have is basically a table that sets up next to the lowered table and provides a platform for the foot of the bed. The legs that they used would be too wide, so they'd have to support the extension differently somehow. Talk to Lindsay...

    Do people really take their off-road teardrops through gnarly trails?

    The space is just a hair over 18" wide after accounting for the furnace exhaust vents which stick out about a quarter of an inch or so from the lower front wall, but they're not in the hamper space directly. I'm 6' and my wife is 5'9" so we worried about kicking into the window screen while...

    Do people really take their off-road teardrops through gnarly trails?

    With the bed configured the long way (North-South?), there definitely isn't room for a porta potty: However, if you have the bed configured sideways, I think there is plenty of room - I believe the bed will end where the arrow is pointing in that case: Because we left the "hamper" mostly...

    Do people really take their off-road teardrops through gnarly trails?

    It's been great - we just spent 10 days in it and didn't feel claustrophobic at all - generally nice weather though. The Kitchen setup is amazing. My wife is vegan and I end up eating the same thing as her most of the time. That means making a lot of stuff from scratch and carrying a lot of...

    I also believe that the price of the 5200 lb version is the same as the price of the 3500 HD version? I didn't have to pay any more to get the 5200 lb version.

    Do people really take their off-road teardrops through gnarly trails?

    I have a bigger problem with low branches and narrow spots than with the actual terrain for most places I go - at least in forested areas - these pics of our TetonX Hybrid are in AZ between Prescott and Phoenix valley - I do have a battery chainsaw (rarely) and a tree pruner (always) I was...

    TetonX Hybrid

    We had the "hamper" left open and set up to enable indoor bike storage. It's worked out really well although if you want air conditioning, it won't be an option. The bikes are held down with Rocky Mounts Driveshaft through axle mounts and a track that's intended to be put in a truck bed that's...

    I thought that the HD versions of the 3500 lb Timbrens were the same structurally as the 5200 lb models and that the only difference was the dampeners being tuned for different weights? I have the 5200 lb version on my TetonX because of the 40 gallon water tank. I know they didn't have to...

    Inciweb has actual fire details. Lots of acreage burned, but all pretty remote or being blown away from civilization. North Rim of the Grand Canyon is inaccessible. The road between Fredonia and Vermillion Cliffs (House Rock Road) is closed due to the Magnum fire. Roads between Phoenix and...
