    SoCal Tear Drop Owners! Post up!

    I've read this thread and others, including some reviews about So-Cal Teardrops and have a couple of questions about real life use. First, we come from our fourth season of using a heavily modified pop up tent trailer, that has a water system with pump, heater, matching tires and wheels and a...

    SoCal Tear Drop Owners! Post up!

    Well, after freezing our badonks off this last week in Utah, we now have a May pickup date for our 510 xs (?). Our tent trailer is just peachy during the warm months but the R-1 insulation factor is just no enough even with our Propex heater. R-16 just sounds more robust from here! It will...

    water or no water.....?

    If you're by yourself, you don't need much water. My woman and I like the expedition style of camping... out in the middle of nowhere, taking day trips and coming back to fresh cooked meals, easy clean up and simple showers. We can go nine days without a refill.

    The Need for a Lock and Roll Hitch When Overlanding

    There are several recent threads regarding Rock and Roll, Max Coupler and Pintle hitches. They are easy to find. I started with a ball hitch but found on Red Canyon Jeep trail the trailer was binding and I was lifting wheels all the time. That's all I needed to know, I went with the Max...

    The Reality of Handling Trailers in the Back Woods

    Twice, I have had to find a slightly wider spot, disconnect my trailer, turn my truck and trailer around and rehook. Now, I try to walk at least a portion if the terrain looks narrow or very unused. But, we have gone to some really cool places this way and this summer we will be going to a...

    Jumping Jack Trailer Rebuild

    I have a Jumping Jack that I have added five inches to the frame and the matching wheels added three more, so I could install my water tank underneath. Depends on what you need it for. Mine was twofold, the 32 gallons of water so we can stay out for extended lenghts of time and the clearance to...

    Pintle vs Lock&Roll vs Max Coupler

    I just had some yahoo back into my yoke side of my Max coupler and bend it. I've had it almost four years without a single issue. The good news is that I can buy just the upgraded yoke, which I hear is even better.

    Pintle vs Lock&Roll vs Max Coupler

    The reason I went with Max coupler was at the time, I was able to get three keyed alike hitch pins. L&R hitch pin was smaller and I liked being able to lock my trailer to my truck.

    My piston has been removed long ago. I use a prop to keep the lid open if needed though, I usually just turn on my system and am done.

    ElectroDacus Lithium Battery Charger

    I think we are a whole are so used to excess that never have to suffer the lack of space, panels or etc. Make your usages and systems as tight and energy efficient as possible, use what it takes to get there.
