This is a great price for a proven expedition platform. An excellent opportunity for someone who wants an off-road capable, self-sufficient, and extremely comfortable camper.
Thanks for sharing this. We are shipping our US registered truck to Europe next month and I also looked into the POR vs 3PMS tire designation for our tires (MPT-81). If you are able to read German, this link confirms what the Continental rep told you. I printed the page and will carry it with me...
I wasn't aware of that magic, but that fills in a huge gap. I wasn't able to wrap my mind around where the extra energy was going and had assumed it was lost to heat. But the MPPT magic seems to be the answer I was looking for. Thanks
Seeking commentary from those who understand solar better than I do.
Givens:
4x 190w solar panels
Each panel rated to 9.3a and 18.6v
MPPT Solar Controller
12V A/C unit draws 18A in Eco Mode
Question: is it preferred to wire the 4 panels in series or combination series/parallel when...
I have seen this rig in person. It is thoughtfully built and impeccably maintained by conscientious owners. The low mileage and excellent pedigree make this one a really good buy and a great opportunity in my opinion.
As an owner of an XPCamper, I just would like to offer my $0.02:
This is a VERY well-built and thoughtfully designed setup. These owners have been meticulous with their maintenance and upgrades and this is a great opportunity for someone who wishes to explore domestically or internationally...
Comments comparing Overland Expo to Abenteuer & Allrad in Germany for those who are curious and/or have considered going.
The annual Abenteuer & Allrad show in Germany is often called the biggest and best overlanding show in the world. Having been to Overland Expo West multiple times over the...
Update now that I have about 13,000 miles on my 275/80/R20 MPT-81 tires: I had previously stated that I was running them at 55psi in the front. That worked great until we had a really hot drive through the desert. Ambient temps around 115deg plus full sun to heat the road surface. With the tires...
Asking $600obo. This ad is for a set of 5 Cooper ST/Maxx tires mounted on OEM Dodge Ram steel wheels including Dynabeads in each tire. Available for local pickup in Orange County, CA. The steel wheels have an 8x6.5" bolt pattern for Dodge Ram. Or discard the wheels and remount the tires on your...
I run these tires at 55psi front and 75psi rear for highway and 25 front 45 rear for mixed trail use. I intend to
follow the advice of others: rotate often check for wear regularly. This is for the “smaller” 37” size.
Digging up this thread from a few years ago. Can anybody who is using the Continental MPT-81 report on how they are wearing? Assuming you are rotating regularly, how many miles are you getting out of a set?
For those who are not familiar, there is a German company called SOG that makes a retrofit for Thetford cassette toilets. My installation was for an XPCamper V1, but I thought this would be useful for anyone else who has a Thetford Cassette toilet. I highly recommend this upgrade. No chemical or...
Just wanted to add my $0.02 to this thread. We have had our V1 for about 6 months. Like a few others have mentioned, we had a few issues early on that required a second trip to Grass Valley. However, Marc and his team have stood behind their product and they worked diligently to resolve the...
I never actually weighed it, but the Land Cruiser 80 had no problem towing it on trails. That's not a very strong engine so I never felt like the trailer was too heavy. It would feel really light for anyone with a V8 or even a modern V6.
