    Light update; this light is a great addition to my camper, I like the fact that its LED, and a nice bright LED, the motion detection is great, we sit at the fire and its nice and dark, when we need to go inside to make another cold beverage, get up and the light turns on to pave the way. It...

    here's a couple of iphone pics from today with my other expedition vehicle, The lake will fill up to the tree line. In this pic you can see the sandy delta fan in the lower left, we camped further to the right of that spot, almost as far as you can drive.

    The lake is surrounded by mountains, and at the far end is a glacier that is constantly sending rocks and avalanches down the mountain, this echo's around the valley and through binoculars is an impressive thing to see. On one of my exploring trips I ran into some bones, it took me a while...

    Jones Lake Here's another little trip report. The last two weekends my wife and I just needed to get out of town, and didn't want to travel too far, so we loaded up to go to a BC hydro controlled lake for a little R&R and fishing. I am going to say we are the first to camp up here this year...

    Cool Unimog Camper setup in Surrey Parking lot!

    Advantages of Fuso 4X4?

    Lastly, as has been stated many times on expo, the vehicle choice is a very personnal one that has to take many factors into consideration for one specific person (you), the choice will be made with what suits your specific needs and wants with many compromises along the way.

    Advantages of Fuso 4X4?

    3. CC is more luxurious, comfortable, CO is a work truck. 4. Cost, CO will be less than CC, from what I have seen, almost half the cost, maybe that explains the luxury factor. I am not so sure about the extra protection, depends on what you hit, but I sit above the hit zone for most vehicles...

    Advantages of Fuso 4X4?

    Thats a darn good start, to add a few; 1. CO, or more so the FG needs a suspension refit, so be prepared for that. 2. Power! CC has way more power, so if warp speed on freeways is your thing, well than go with a CC.

    Water Storage Freezing Question

    Many people are using an hydronic system to heat their campers, if using this method, running a line through selected tanks to warm up the liquids a little bit could be used, otherwise, tanks need to be internally mounted, it would also need some insulation around those exterior tanks.

    Our GXV Build

    Charlie, how often have you used your winches? Sounds like you advocate having one, is it worth the expense, weight, cost? I have mildly looked at getting one but am just a little hesitant to go for it.

    Ive checked your trip reports out, they are epic! especially in those trucks, not sure how comfy they are. The vent system in that pic is not one I will be staying with. I will have the vent off the right side tank be independant, not interconnected with the fill/vent from the left tank, this...
