Hi. I hit send too soon on my last reply to you. I asked my wife if she missed the Newell. Her answer was "no!" And it's because of the RV parks. There is absolutely nothing like being out there in a remote place all to yourself. The interior measurement of our box is 20'. We have all the space...

Hi. I just talked to my wife and asked if she miss Congrats! There is nothing like being in the middle of nowhere. Send me pix of your finished unit.

We've been off grid in Canyonlands. I see the great ExpoPortal community has answered your questions. So, an update. It’s been nearly three months. I think all the bugs are out. What do we like, don’t like, would change? The living space is great. We have 11 feet of counter space in the kitchen...

The cabinets are by Harn in Asia. Here are a couple of photos. We have three large pull out pantries (photo shows two of them). We’ve had the rig on some very rough and rutted roads. Absolutely nothing moved inside. Everything slides in and out and fits like a glove. Faces are a laminate...

A short video of our rig at the top of Schnebly Hill

More is better. If you have room for 50 gal, go for it.

Correct. We did not opt for a 5 gal cassette toilet. The 26 gal, if used mainly for #2, works out fine.

We would have died without an AC. It’s 99 in Moab right now.

A cassette toilet has 5 gallons capacity. 100 liters is 26 gallons. Wish we had more but I had to give up something else.

100 liters each

We've been on the road for three weeks. Ironing out the little bugs. Our first off grid trip was to the top of Schnebly Hill near Sedona. Did it in my Jeep about 4 years ago. Road has not been maintained and was rocky. But we made it. Found a nice spot near the edge. Next off grid place we went...

I normally wouldn’t worry about an extra 80 kg on the rear of my 6x6. However, my two spare tires are part of my rear tail lift. Getting rid of 80 extra kg of weight would give me a lot more options if I decide to add a small motorbike back there. Thanks for the tip.

That might be number 638 on my “to do” list. So many little things to go over. Still packing.

Fresh Off The Boat. Nearly two years but finally here! Picked it up at the dock and then drove it to get a wheel alignment place. The rig was stretched 31" and never aligned. Want to take care of those expensive tires. The drive TO Los Angeles from Palm Springs in a one-way car rental took 4 1/2...

Cleared customs before ship even docked. Got it duty free because of Australian Free Trade Agreement.

It arrived in port yesterday. They are unloading the ship as I type this. We were hoping to get it Tuesday morning but might not be until Wednesday morning. The only good thing while we wait is the weather in Long Beach is 75 degrees versus 118 in Indio. In other good news, it’s all cleared and...

Overall height is 13’ 2”. Agreed on 2nd spare. When we drove through Namibia with a Defender and only one spare, the drive to the next service station when we got a flat taught me TWO SPARES at all times in remote places. Our rig is scheduled to arrive one week earlier than predicted which is...

It’s a large rubber square tube that is flexible and twists as the mount/chassis turns in opposite direction. We had a secure lockable door installed over it on the inside of the box.

On its way to the port of Brisbane. Next stop Long Beach CA on June 22. I hope they send the gray rig and not the yellow one.

SLRV just sent me a still shot of our unit out in the field doing a video. Hopefully should have it all edited in a couple of weeks and I’ll post it then. Looks good in the ruts.
