Great idea having the refrigerator and outdoor kitchen not under the awning. Guess it never rains on these people, or they just scoot inside when the weather’s bad since they brought an entire house with them. Riveted aluminum frame overlanding? Really? One good hit and the trailer is...

Here’s a guy who probably wished had at least a rough road capable conveyance. https://offroadportal.org/recovery-in-nevada/?fbclid=IwAR0ABUjB4AaVw3QrbDENBMxTg1T9djyJNAgqzRXNLPSo02mGlfakSpTnafg

Yes, I was looking for that in-between size. Basically bigger than a squaredrop, with a little room to stand up, bath, and well insulated with heated tanks. Small enough to take on the beach without getting stuck, and fit down the occasional trail that gets a bit gnarly if only to avoid ever...

You probably captured the distinction perfectly. There is definitely a need for “rough road” capable RV’s that won’t fall apart on washboard but don’t need to do anything more. If someone wants a luxurious interior the size of a small house, I guess that works. I tend to wonder if many of the...

Yes, saw that one too. I wonder how many of those giant black series or Opus/dweller ever go any further than a KOA. If you can’t manage a recovery, probably no business going off road, and I can’t imagine recovery on one of those monsters. I just don’t think anything over 4,000 lbs should...

Couldn’t agree more. I don’t get these large off road trailers with their RV-like interiors at all. I kind of see the line at 4,000 lbs for an off road trailer so am getting the EOS. Also don’t understand why you’d want a living room, tile backsplash and porcelain sink in something you’re...

Sounds like an amazing, and large trailer. I was hoping Kingdom would build something smaller one of these days. Something that could go anywhere, smaller than their current offering but larger than a square drop. I consider their current offering too big for off road in my world. Guess I’ll...

I'll probably try and find a high quality coated nylon. I have several Slingfin tents for mountaineering and would love to find some of the same high quality material they use on their flys, but might be too expensive...

Thanks but not sure I want to hang a hunk of vinyl off the awning or pack that up. I think I’ll find a custom tent maker somewhere who can cut and sew walls out of high quality tent nylon.

We have the 23zero 180 with walls on one side of our square drop, and while the quality is outstanding, and the walls can take heavy winds, the family finds the heavy LST fabric way too dark and the space underneath downright depressing. Can't say I disagree. We don't camp in the desert where...

Taxa mantis is one option.

We’re stepping up to the Boreas EOS-12 and are selling our beloved and like new 2021 XT with a bunch of extras and upgraded battery. This is the first year with cruisemaster suspension and hitch. Can deliver this superbly built off road trailer to Overland Expo East or pick up in DC area. PM...

Charging a laptop is our main reason for an inverter. Would be lost without it.

I’ve got a Boreas XT for sale (see my ad) in DC area, but it’s a good bit above your price range. Have GFC superlite for sale as well.

SOLD

Lift rods, wheel spacers, changing wheel ET, etc and anything that changes suspension geometry or forces generated on parts will have long term downsides. This should not be news to anyone doing mods. One of the reasons for subframe lifts vs lifting rods.

I think the 195 and Roamer1 are the same thing now. Maybe Roamer1 is ROA’s rebranded version and 195 is Imperial’s product name. They seem to use either to refer to the same trailer now.

Couldn’t agree more. I don’t even know what best trailer in the world means when these are all just boxes with more or less the same type of third party technology assembled this way or that way. Yes, solid construction costs more, but they are basically making these things “luxurious” to...

Thanks for your perspective. That’s kind of what I’m realizing. I would take our off road square back on a slightly beat up forest service road, but would never dream of taking it on anything resembling a rock crawl or even some of the moderately difficult stuff I’ve done. Just too scary...

That is a big ****** trailer. Do you find you actually take it off-road anyplace where the Oliver couldn’t go? I would be terrified to take something that big on anything much worse than my gravel driveway.
