Mounting the bag over the awning I ordered a R.H. side Shadow Awning with the wall kit. It came last week and I'm in the process of pre-installing the Shadow on my '94 Land Cruiser. By this I mean, beefing up my existing Yakama (gutter mount) System. It's actually going quite well - better then...

At first, I thought this sounded like a good idea. Then after some time went by & I started thinking about overlanding and what is the main thing your fridge requires...POWER! If you're camped in a spot for more than a night, running the fridge is going to require recharging your battery. If...

Thank you! That is good to hear. I'm really checking this trailer out and trying to find any weakness. Seems like it's holding up to any faults that can think of. I plan to put an order in for the Lead Dog Extreme Offroad 5 x 8. I think that the kitchen is going to be the toughest challenge to...

I was looking at kitchen ideas. I like the pullouts, but the Lead Dog doesn't have the configuration to allow much of one. Then I got to thinking, being as the kitchen is in the rear of the trailer, it's susceptible to catching dust and dirt being kicked up on dirt roads. How well does your rear...

I commend you on your enthusiasm, but a simple question...how do you get in & out of it? With your pop,fold or slide outs that take up all 3 sides completely, and slideout bathroom/kitchen combo in the front, I don't see an entry/exit door. Not sure you're gonna want kitchen & bathroom so...

Depending on how tired I am would determine parking at a Walmart with my hardshell RTT. Also what part of the country would be a big consideration. But in those circumstances I would never use earplugs. If my body needs rest bad enough for me to consider Walmart - ok, but it would be my last...

You must be using your phone for EP (Expedion Portal). Yeah, it's convenient, but there's so much that is missed - like locations (if they're posted). I'm in Eastern Oregon. John Day would show up on a map, which is in Grant County. Canyon City is the county seat and that's where I live. It's...

Yeah, the kitchen concerns me, also. I'm trying to imagine & plan ahead of time how to set it up. I already have a National Luna 50L Weekender fridge/freezer in the back of my Land Cruiser. Like you suggested - it might be a good idea to just leave it there for trips away from camp. Also, it is...

Nice! I'm glad you started this thread. I plan to get one ordered soon. I like the under floor storage. What do you use the propane for - cooking? Anything else? I was thinking maybe a heater - if there's such an animal for this small of a cabin. Why did you get the spare option if your wheels &...

What worked for me, and might work for others is a pet tether. Can be purchased at most pet supply sources - even the pet section in a large store, like Walmart. Pound in a couple of inches and use tent hammer handle for leverage to screw it in the rest of the way. In loose sand I'd screw it all...

I'm pretty much decided the 5x8 Off Road Deluxe is what I want. Need to get some details straight and finances in order. I should be contacting your company soon to order. Thank you for your answers and help!

Interesting to read what I missed! What beach was that you were set up on in the pic - San Cosme?

Perfect, the 6 on 5.5 is what's on my Land Cruiser. Does LD still provide the wheels & tires for this option? I now see the LnR hitch option on the list - thanks! The option list has lots to choose from, but other than the 2 I just asked about and roof rack, I'd just be interested in the base...

Regarding this statement: "Jeep lug pattern Others available" which is actually not on the option sheet, but is the last item on the Hiker website list: "5×8 Off-Road Deluxe includes:" -- I will be towing with an older '94 Toyota Land Cruiser 80 Series. Is the older Toyota 6 lug pattern...

Still a long ways away, but thanks! Out of curiosity, how much is required when order is placed? I'm aware that you'll need a sheet filled out with all options requested. Hiker emailed me their option list. Yours may be different, but process is probably the same. TIA for your help!

I contacted Hiker in CO by email from their website and was told there were no 5x8 Off Road Deluxe models available in CO or Las Vegas. They said soonest I could get one built was late Sept and that was if there were no priority changes, large orders or setbacks. And that was if I ordered right...

Glad I found this thread since I'm considering this model trailer - either Hiker or Lead Dog Off Road - they're the same. You've really done well and sparked a lot of ideas that work well! At 1st glance, I disliked the side swinging rear door - it should swing up to be out of the way. Plus the 2...

Amusing thread started by a false claim for improving the RTT & link to same...lol Yeah, what a let down - the only parts interesting to me were the comments that supported RTTs. If you don't like RTTs - fine. No one knows the imperfections of a RTT better than the owners. Talk about keeping...
