    Trail Marker Up and Out with Wet Bath by Rollingstar MFGing

    Looks awesome! Can’t wait to visit your turf one of these days. I too wonder how people are brave enough to take these giant “off-road” trailers being sold these days. I’m chicken enough just driving some trails even without a trailer.

    Boreas Campers EOS12

    Yeah, a few inches shorter would have been nice, but I wouldn’t have wanted them to sacrifice usability when the top is down. Would have also required a shorter entry door, windows, etc. Once you go with off road suspension and clearance like this has, I can imagine it’s really hard to keep...

    Boreas Campers EOS12

    We already have an electric hotpot for inside and may get a portable induction burner for occasional use. We use the second bed setup for our daughter so we don’t want to loose the table but I’m going to mount a marine seat slide on it to move it five inches over to allow easier passage. Don’t...

    ARB enters the fray

    Not available in the US at this point, so US pricing is just notional. Made in Thailand though, so I imagine they plan to sell elsewhere.

    Alternative AC option

    90% humidity is when you really need A/C. Like all swamp coolers, this might work ok in dry desert heat, but won’t be very pleasant if you’re actually in humid swampy climates. Why they call them swamp coolers is a mystery. That’s the one place they are useless.

    Arkto Campers-Shakedown, Update

    Agree. That’s one of the things I love about our EOS as well. It’s perfectly livable with the top lowered. We camped at a really noisy Hipcamp one night and lowering the top was the only way to sleep. I can even sit and work at the table no problem and the John is even usable, though using...

    Pulling a Heavy Trailer Offroad - A Good Tow Vehicle

    Ok. More power to him. Still wouldn’t do that with an Oliver.

    Pulling a Heavy Trailer Offroad - A Good Tow Vehicle

    If you go with the Oliver then you shouldn’t have to worry about getting stuck off-road because you’d be crazy to take one of those on anything but the smoothest of dirt roads. They are not off road trailers by any means, despite their presence at overland expo.

    How much water is enough?

    We have 50 gallons and went through it in 6 days with three of us. We each showered twice and used a lot washing dishes. We could by with less, but I wouldn’t want to.

    Imperial going for the mainstream crowd

    Seemed like a strange place to see an ad for such a niche product.

    Boreas Campers EOS12

    I’m considering putting a slide on the table so we can slide it over to one side when moving around. We used the extra bed and it worked great, but sometimes you want the table out of the way. Also going to add a bunch of net storage on the walls and. A soft “cabinet” for clothes to sit on the...

    Imperial going for the mainstream crowd

    Big second page ad in United’s flight magazine.

    Kingdom Campers?

    I’m sure Jamin, the owner, would be happy to provide any info you need. Contact info is on their website. This is a tiny boutique builder. We’ll be in the ground before you will spot a used one on a lot.

    choosing is tough - analysis paralysis

    There is a long discussion about Olivers elsewhere in this forum.

    Portable solar recommendations

    Flexible panels stuck to the roof are usually pretty poor performers and get worse as they heat up as there is no air circulation under the panels. Zamp obsidian really are better in every way, which is why solid makes like Boreas use them exclusively, but for portable I think the thin panels...

    Lance Enduro

    It doesn’t look too bad. Awfully tall, and some no-name and lie range components, but maybe.

    Mission Overland Approach

    Have they said what kind of power comes with these? Inverter? Grey water? Nothing in any of the specs.

    Overkill Campers

    Having worked for PE owned companies, I wouldn’t take that as a given that a company will be around in the future. They are just as likely to wreck the place and sell it for parts, or merge it into oblivion as they are to help the company prosper. They also can sometimes lose the personal care...

    Overkill Campers

    Man, this is awful, and makes me so appreciate having bought from a company that only required a very small deposit for an expensive trailer. These large deposit deals are just so risky. I’m amazed at the tone deaf nature of their communications, or why anyone would trust them ever again.
