    Samsung galaxy lite 7" 8gb

    Thank you gents for the education. I have a Zenpad Z10 and just ordered the RAM mounting kit from Amazon. I'm hoping to transition away from a laptop to a tablet due to the space constraints. Frankly, I love my laptop but it tends to encroach into the passengers space a tad in the 80 series...

    free standing canopy suggestions?

    I use an EZ Up with four solid walls or four mosquito net walls and love it. I have the heavy unit that is probably close to 50 lbs or more and it's very sturdy. It lives in the Kamparoo and that's about the only time I'll set it up at a basecamp. I think the mosquito net feature is the best...

    Making a cup of coffee stormy mornings

    I don't own these. Copy/paste from my post above: Ok, I can't believe I'm suggesting this but the OP's desperate plea for help warrants an appropriate response. :rolleyes: A friend of busted out his Makita drill battery powered coffee percolator on our last camping trip :eek: After thinking...

    Making a cup of coffee stormy mornings

    The fine gentleman reached out to us with a request on making coffee given the crappy weather, particularly, during wind events. I provided a solution that works at ANY wind, from any direction and quite possibly during a hurricane [emoji16] Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

    Side Note on RTTs for Dads

    Nice story and pics. Thank you for sharing. I agree, my RTT is loved by my daughter who is now 13yo. I like the idea of setting it up so that she and her friend can giggle in it all night long!!!

    Timbren Axle-Less: important info for those building

    This maybe a little over the top for some of you but I carry a IR temp gun in my tow rigs for this reason. They're inexpensive these days and gives you objective data. I tend to use it for trailer and tow rig hub temps after a PM of some sort. Just a quick sanity check. One time we're...

    Importing an Australian made off-road trailer

    It's very nice to hear your view points from the other side of the pond and your trailer is simply, what do they say over there "bees knees"? ?

    Timbren Axle-Less: important info for those building

    This may or may not matter but here's my .02 cents worth. My Kamparoo is around 2200 lbs and rides on a set of 225 75 15 LT "C" rated tires. This thing has leaf springs and a Dexter 3500# axle with brakes. This is a whopping 29" diam tire and yet it has higher ground clearance than my...

    Looking for First Ready Made Expo Trailer for Under $10k?

    Agreed with what's been said; used popups are coming up on CL all day long for good prices. This might be a good, inexpensive way (less than $6k) to get into this style of camping and figure out how to proceed moving forward. I know a buddy who got rid of all cabinets and plumbing on his popup...

    Shiftpod tent

    A guy in our LC club has one and it is rather nice. When he goes by himself, he aires up a double size air mattress that's about 24" high. There are usually a chair or two inside, along with a small table. So, I guess it's shelter as been said already. Additionally, the thing stays nice and...

    $200 5KW Portable Diesel Air Heater

    Hiya fellas, Just stumbled across this thread and read the whole thing over lunch. I have an Espar Airtronic D2 that I bought from Fleebay 10+ years ago and it came out of a 18 wheeler. The thing went into the Kamparoo, just like how the Webastos are installed in the KK campers (same...

    Slipper vs shackle

    My Kamparoo came with slipper springs and I was a tad incredulous but they have performed flawlessly. All be it a tad noisy but a solid performer through rock crawling as well as Death Valley's hours of washboards at high speeds. Mine has no shocks either which I thought was a little weird. I...

    Looking for First Ready Made Expo Trailer for Under $10k?

    I like this the OzTrail tent on this trailer. The trailer is just a box, nothing to write home about but the tent is elaborate and roomy. If you're base camping, this tent would work well. But if you're moving daily then I think you would get tired of setting this tent up. Still if the tent...

    Importing an Australian made off-road trailer

    This is particularly evident with our USA "overlanders" who keep insisting on designing their trailers with cheap, noisy generators. [emoji35] I camped with a fella who uses an electric 12vdc drip coffee maker, 12vdc electric oven to heat up food in containers that his wife put together and so...

    Importing an Australian made off-road trailer

    There are some really well written dialogue on this thread and I have enjoyed reading them. I especially love to hear the viewpoints from the Australians on this "overlanding" culture that is in the fledgling state in USA. I for one can't justify the $$$$ for a box with wheels that basically...

    Timbren Axle-Less: important info for those building

    I am curious if the trailer in question was marketed as a standard, on the road trailer. Because if the trailer is being used as "unintended" then the trailer manufacturer can bow out of the liability issue. This sucks no matter what. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk
