    SRW 450 Mountain Build

    If the water sits, a drop of bleach in the tank might help prevent bacteria from forming. It would then be filtered out in the system. If you had a website or something it would be awesome to see a lot of details of the system with schematics etc. I had written off a recirculating shower for...

    Servicing Ford trucks in Africa, Asia?

    Another thing to consider is the ease of repair, many repairs on a newer Ford chassis are done with the entire cab off, sure it can be done with the cab on, but that adds hours to the repair. The next issue is the availability of Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel that is not found in many parts of the...

    Refrigerator Advice Wanted , Please!

    I have a Novacool, but I haven't been impressed with the build quality of it at all, but it is also about 4 years old. The seal around the door does not seem like it seals that well, the insulation seems like it could be thicker, I have had the door open and all the contents spill out a few...

    SRW 450 Mountain Build

    Interesting on the shower. I guess I would be really curious how it works long term and if I find it worth it in the end. I could see it being expensive to run if you end up having to change the filters often, and also a pain in ass too, but if it works? Absolutely awesome. Please keep us...

    Boxes by adventure trucks (GXV's new line of trucks and DIY kits)

    I was quoted some prices for Outbound Windows from the US dealer RRE Global/Boxmanfaktur and the prices they gave me on the Outbounds after shipping/overseas tax brought the price to damn near the same as the KCT's. Not sure if they were just marking up the hell out of the windows or what but...

    XPCamper goes out of business, files for bankruptcy?

    At 100k for the camper, it's kind of on the expensive side for most people no?

    2020 Ram 5500 DIY Composite Panel Camper Build Thread

    There are some benefits to a dually, increased stability, capacity, and safety in the event of a rear tire blow out. I think duallys get put down pretty hard on this forum, but if you are hauling heavy, most of your miles will be paved roads anyways, if you are on gravel roads, simply slow...

    2020 Ram 5500 DIY Composite Panel Camper Build Thread

    Curious about this new tread compound on the mpt's. I always thought from what I read that they didn't have the best wear characteristics but maybe this new tire fixes that. Either way, I did see them for a really good price new on Ebay.

    Refrigerator Advice Wanted , Please!

    To combat the temperature issue, I would think you would want a unit with dual compressors. Not sure if your ventrifrigo had that or not but some unites just use a single BD-80

    Heavy Duty Wheels

    Are those total weights? The tires should be able to handle that load, it's only 3000 lbs per tire but probably doesn't leave you much room. Some possible options. 1st stick to tires with a 3 ply sidewall, I don't think the Nittos have that. I know the new Yokohama x at is 3 ply if you want...

    GXV Turtle almost ready to hatch ?

    Care to give a longer term review of the Separett weekender toilet and how it has been working out? I am trying to decide between the Weekender and the other available model.

    Long flatbed on a short bed truck? Head of it?

    I went with a captive spring mount for my flatbed, for similar reasons IdaSho mentioned, but my ram is a cab and chassis so it has a different frame design than the standard pick ups, so it might not be necessary? Something to consider though.

    Long flatbed on a short bed truck? Head of it?

    How much are they asking for it? I'm not in the market since I bought a 2018, but curious how much less it is than what I paid new.

    Long flatbed on a short bed truck? Head of it?

    Careful of how much weight you put behind the rear axle. Being a short bed that will be easy to do. Personally I would just go with a regular cab long bed and add the AEV stuff if that's your thing. I think the Ute flatbeds are overpriced anyways

    Fan, temps, and pets.

    I would do two max air fans. One at the front and one at the back so you can push air in with one and pull air out with the other. With some good insulation you should be okay but definitely test it out to make sure.

    AEV Prospector XL Flatbed Adventure Rig

    Yes, I wonder how much the offset of the wheels on that Earthroamer played a part plus the weight of the camper in destroying the shaft. I would bed if it was a stock dually on 19.5's it wouldn't of happened.

    Sorry I should have been more specific. I was referring to the sidewall.
