    Expedition Vehicle selection thoughts?

    I wouldn't take Zybane or his comments to seriously. Mundo4x4Casa He is obviously ill informed. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Nice pics.....

    Expedition Vehicle selection thoughts?

    https://www.hino.com.au/500/4x4/ The Hino 500 4x4 bare frame would be a good starting point. (Serviceable world wide.) Add the coach of your choice. Should make a good world traveler.

    questions about Flatbed loading/mounting

    A good idea if your camper is designed for it. On your old school unit though it would not be advisable as the floor of the camper is more than likely stapled to the sides of the slide in portion. If it were me...... I'd repair the corners of the camper then use them for the tie down points as...

    What makes a Unicat worth more than a Earth Roamer?

    Verkstad If you had bothered to read the post rather than just Trolling through it. you would have noticed the rather veiled request for credentials. I'd have never mentioned them otherwise. Beyond that. It looks like we went to the same grammar school. I must have missed you at the reunion...

    What makes a Unicat worth more than a Earth Roamer?

    I have been in and out of the rv business for 40 years . Hold several patens and am educated as an automotive engineer. I also have a build thread on this sight and many more build threads on other related sights to back up my opinions. Been doing this a while . How about you? You are correct...

    What makes a Unicat worth more than a Earth Roamer?

    "mk216v What do you consider "the best"???? I would consider it a rig that perfectly suits my porpoise and life style. If that were an E R or a U C I'd own one. Neither is willing to building what works for me." IMHO a rig MUST be serviceable in the field. An example would be an experience that...

    What makes a Unicat worth more than a Earth Roamer?

    As a builder and owner of many custom rigs. Some that I built , some built by others I'd have to disagree with the two of you. s.e. Charles . Comparing a hair cut to a expedition vehicle is a bit of a stretch but here goes. If you are using a barber that needs your help knowing how to cut...

    How long before we see a Earthromer for $150K?

    I love the coment that 100,000 miles is nothing .....:LOL: These things have transmissions differentials , transfer cases and brakes. All wear the same as any other vehicle. 100,000 miles can be the end of an un maintained rig. Weather the engine runs well or not.

    What makes a Unicat worth more than a Earth Roamer?

    I have to be honest. I am not fond of the software dependence of the Unicat. I think long term it will prove to be detrimental and is totally un necessary. I hate the idea of climbing over the dinette or others sleeping in the lower bunk to access the upper bunk. I agree that in Europe The...

    External ladders and safety

    Verkstad Any legitimate Expoguy knows this???????? Just a bit arrogant wouldn't you say. Not to seem argumentative or point any fingers. But Just what makes you think that you are any more """"" legitimate""""" Than anyone else? Some of the most well traveled and respected members on this...

    External ladders and safety

    This is a perfect example as to why rear ladders and rails are a bad idea at best. There are no less than 34 screws shot through the skin of this poor camper to support the ladder and rail system. 34...... This is typical of the majority of ladder installations. Now the average adult human...

    Flatlander’s attempt at a RTT trailer build

    Interesting build. I like the idea of repurposing the commercial trailer. And the use of beer for incentive. Should be a wonderful rig to tow behind your ( nice ) Jeep.

    Using tool chests or file drawers as cabinets in a van or RV build?

    As usual Paul has sage advice. Less is best. My wife is a collector of Tupperware. I have seen the woman stuff more plastic containers into a camping rig than a battalion could use. As to the tool chests..... Steel is real man. But as many have stated. Noisy.
