Yeah, I spent some time researching Oliver’s before I lost interest in ever staying at a campground again, and learned some more at expo east just out of curiosity. Doesn’t make me an expert by any means, but Escapes are clearly the budget product in this category and don’t really compare...

Oliver brought a trailer to Expo East, so maybe they’re hearing more interest in off grid and forest road camping from their customers. Like so many others, wouldn’t be surprised to see them sell a lifted beefed up X version. If I just wanted a very well built four season rv for pavement and...

GFC is offering the superlite again if you want the lightest rtt available. Loved ours but just sold it since we don’t need it anymore.

Curious what your concerns are about the new xplor's? They would seem ideal for your requirements assuming price isn't an issue. I don't think you can really fit 4 in the current Kingdom unless you're talking two little ones. Maybe their new bigger rig might have more room.

The trick with the 20’s is not to air down unless on the beach. I’ve done all kinds of stuff on my crap Adventures and they are still going. Won’t buy them again, but airing down on 20’s is risky. LR instructor told me not to bother. Doesn’t add much traction on 20’s anyway.

We couldn’t decide either so did several trips renting sprinters out West and small off-road trailers in various places. We like to hike and bike and often have to reach trailheads away from the camping location. Also like to head into town occasionally for a meal, or explore a region from a...

Maybe fact that TetonX has no interior bath makes it easier to get under 8ft. The EOS and approach are substantially very different trailers than the TetonX hybrid.

Exactly, $400 or $500 seems like a bargain for this. Certainly not worth the risk for a life critical part for a $200 discount.

Looks like cruisemaster manufactures in Oz. They also list three patents on the coupler and have done extensive testing and certification and offer a two year warranty. Personally, I wouldn’t trust that eBay hitch as there’s no telling how it was made as it’s clearly an infringing knock off...

How much do you save over a Genuine cruisemaster? Apart from not wanting to support design and maybe patent infringers, there’s no way to tell if that coupler will hold up or cause a catastrophic accident someday. Is the discount worth it?

Just putting pipe insulation on exterior water lines will only help for so long before the cold gets through. You’ll need some kind of heat source or enclose and condition the space where the pipes run. Heat tape, heat mats for tanks are the main options. Or just keep a cooler full of water...

Interesting about the torsion bar and highway driving. Maybe it’s needed with the shocks conqueror uses, but I’ve found our Boreas with cruisemaster suspension to tow incredibly well on the highway, and stable as a rock at 75mph. Maybe more a function of cheap shocks and poor dampening or some...

Given how long it took them to get to this point with the Approach, I’d be amazed if they made any major changes like those required to get under 8ft. We were hoping our EOS would make it under as well, but having seen it now, I’m glad they went with higher walls and less canvass than the...

The lower you go the more canvass you’ll need up top. Already a lot of canvass and pretty low walls on this.

Very lightly used GFC Superlite for sale with GFC ladder and Superlite spec'd air/foam mattress and standard mounting hardware. $2200 firm. Pickup in DC area available now. Lightest RTT made, only 80 lbs. Forget the winch and crane. Two people, or one strong one, can easily install and...

Our 2021 XT is still for sale at $33,500 plus some available options to choose from. Available in the mid-Atlantic, but can be delivered to Colorado in a few months when I head to pick up our EOS. DM me if interested in more details. EDIT: Deposit received, pending final sale.

I doubt you could fit 37" inch tires on the XT. It has lots of travel on the suspension, but it's got 32's on there now, and maybe you could go to 35's, but I don't see 37's working. You could contact Boreas and ask though about that and bolts, but that sounds like you'd have to change...

it’s simple. They aired down on 20 inch rims and then rammed it into a rock under acceleration. If they had attended an LR experience class they would have learned that LRand their instructors advise against airing down at all on 20’s unless you’re on the beach. There is little advantage in...
