    Fuso FM260-Based Expedition Vehicle

    Should we read this as the vehicle is looking for a new caretaker? Reading your post leads me to believe it has a soul and needs more than an owner.

    Sale Pending! Award winning f550 based full custom camper. $225k

    As everyone else has said, great looking vehicle with obvious attention to details. Given the sliding nature of the top, how does it do in below freezing temps? for example, what could you reasonably keep the inside temp at if the outside temp was 20F? How about performance when -10F Thanks much

    Earthroamer - Living full time questions

    i haven’t been there yet with the ER quality was never the question for me. It is more about how many of my boxes does it check if workmanship was the only criteria I would just go buy a Bentley or Rolls Royce. But unfortunately they don’t satisfy some of the other needs :)

    I know whatever the choice, I will learn where I went wrong. So to minimize that I am taking a deliberate approach. Ask, look, learn. The custom built is definitely in the running. there is an outfit in Minneapolis that is on my way home. Gonna see if they are still building and stop by on...

    Removable front winch mounting

    Here is the mount for my front receiver. bolts directly to the frame With 8 bolts. Pretty beefy! The side pull could be a concern, but a couple snatch blocks keeps everything centered even if the anchor isn’t. Also, please tell me why a 175amp connector isn’t enough?

    Earthroamer - Living full time questions

    Looking at the LTS. There is a nice pre-owned on the ER website. Right now I am trying to pair down the trappings of everyday life to fit a Roamer lifestyle. Trying to figure out if 3 bikes, SCUBA gear and a few pairs of skis can fit. Looked in to “bulletproofing” the engine and seems like $...

    Removable front winch mounting

    this is what I did to my rig. i installed a new mount that attaches to the frame. The mount had a welded 2’ receiver on it so it is as strong as the frame. Then purchased a portable mount for the winch. I’ve used it a few times and have had no worries about strength. Mind you, I haven’t...
