Yeah, same old bs. Didn't realize it was German website, since the text was in English. Let's not blame Google for this! Whether it's called mosquito netting or screen in the windows is not the point. It offers about as much protection against ANY insect as waving at them. As far as questions...

Sounds like you got the answers you needed. I agree that you must have a substantial leak in the vent to have found that amount of moisture ranging from the ceiling carpet to the mattress. I've got a CVT hardshell that I've had since 2012 that has set on my roof 24 x 7 since then, out in the...

I think I found a major component to my battery charging system. The Redarc Manager30. Kinda pricey ($1200), and probably overkill for most small off road trailers. Not needed if you don't want or need a shore power connection. This component has already been well tested in Oz and here's a video...

So, as I mentioned earlier, the trailer came with brakes, however the PO had not wired them up to be used. I had a Voyager controller that I pulled out of another rig. Googled it and printed out the owner's manual and schematic for wiring it up. I had the brakes working for the trip to Utah and...

My current water system is simple and consists of eight 3.5 gallon Waterbricks which calculates to 28 gallon capacity. I ordered a spigot with them and thought - wow, my only issue is going to be switching the spigot to the next Waterbrick as I drain them. Wrong......what I didn't realize is...

Rin, I have some questions about the Alu Cab Shadow wall kits that were sold through OK4WD. I purchased a Shadow awning and wall kit back in late May/early June of 2017 and as you might remember was quite dismayed that Alu Cab did not provide a back wall to provide for insect protection. I'll...

Yes, they do: Awning Material The acrylic-aluminized fabric weighs 260g/m². This material is lightweight, waterproof and tear-resistant. It can easily be pulled tight, and provides shade and weather-protection. The Aluminium coating reflects the sun so that the temperatures are about 5°C cooler...

Yeah, my Alu Cab walls attach to the awning with velcro, but the different sections of walls zipper together in the corners - at the poles. That plus the velcro loops provided to secure the walls to the poles make for a stout setup - provided that your awning poles are secured with the tie downs...

I share your curiousity! When I purchased my Alu Cab Shadow, I didn't look real close at the back or vehicle side of the wall kit and just assumed there was a back wall. Why else would there be screens in the windows??!! :unsure: I asked Rin at OK4WD why there were screens and he checked with...

Not sure if you're aware, but the biggest difference between most, including Ostrich, is the frame of the Kinsmen is steel. Almost all others are aluminum. If the Kinsmen was available when I was looking, I'd have went with it over my Alu Cab. I've got the Kinsmen shower which is also steel...

I have the Kinsmen shower and your solution might work on a completely calm day, but would be a disaster with any wind. Even the Kinsmen shower needs to have the lower corners staked down with any wind, and they have provided the loops to do it. BTW, the Kinsmen shower sets up in less than a...

I don't know, I've not seen a comparison or discussion on fuel efficiency, but I guess it's a concern. Given the fuel mileage with my tow rig, even empty, I honestly wasn't concerned. But, I guess it would depend on what you've got mounted on a trailer and how aerodynamic the loaded trailer is...

On the driver's side of the trailer is what looks like a very short awning enclosure and is in fact, a shower/toilet privacy enclosure made by Kinsmen. It's a nice option to have when camping with a group. It's extremely easy to deploy and works with a portable toilet and shower system. I have...

Early May, I was signed up to do the ROF Rimrocker + Kokopelli run and headed off to Moab to join the group. But due to lingering deep snow in the high country, muddy roads from snow melt and wet weather hitting the route at that particular time, the group changed plans and we ended up meeting...

Last month (April 2019) I found this trailer on CL in Bend, OR. Decided not to wait up to a year to have a hard side / teardrop style trailer built as I had originally intended and purchased it. The Land Cruiser was just getting too full and impossibly inconvenient for trips. The object is...

Interesting! If you go to awning enclosures page on their website, it's not listed. No search function either...... Maybe they cancelled it.....bummer!
