    Warning!! DBL Designs - Install Issues & Dishonest Business Practices

    Wild stuff indeed. Crazy because I have two buddies who have had polar opposite experiences with their work in the past. Sad to see this happen. I hope you do pursue legal recourse, it's the only way to put the squeeze on someone unwilling to take care of their mistakes.

    I'm BACK!!! 2023 F-250 Tremor build

    I have a set of King 2.5's from Accu-Tune with their custom Adventure Tune on the way. After talking it over with a few friends that have both I felt like the Kings were the way for me to go for a couple of reasons. 1)They are cheaper than the Fox by nearly $700/set, 2)They have a slightly...

    MDC XT16HR ISLAND

    I have seen them on the lot at PrincessCraft in Round Rock/Austin and it appears that they are still a dealer. They have a few with $15-22K discounts at the moment as well.

    I'm BACK!!! 2023 F-250 Tremor build

    This ugly thing has been lying around for nearly half a year now so I figured I should install it and give it a shot. Not gonna lie, it's growing on me rather quickly. This should help cut down on the rock chips/dings and bugs.

    2024 Casita 17' Spirit Deluxe

    I had an Airstream in the family, I wouldn't touch them with a ten foot pole, what an overpriced turd. But hey, that's just me. We love FGRV's and I don't care for slides nor do I need a full dry bath, that's way overrated IMHO and for how often (or little) I actually use it. It'll be an Escape...

    2024 Casita 17' Spirit Deluxe

    The exterior accessible interior space found on the Oliver's and Escapes is a large part of why we would like to upgrade besides the obvious increase in width and length which translates to more interior space. You lose most of the exterior accessible interior storage when you move to the larger...

    2024 Casita 17' Spirit Deluxe

    Agreed, the full-time attached cord sucks and should've been ditched by them decades ago. I made a big stink about it (along with a few other things) when we took delivery of ours last year and low and behold this year all of those are now standard or options, go figure lol. I am replacing the...

    2024 Casita 17' Spirit Deluxe

    Yea I'd agree, that's more of a $10-12K trailer depending on condition.

    2024 Casita 17' Spirit Deluxe

    That's a great price but I have to assume it's at least 10 years old at that price?! And no one can tell you what to do with your money because everyone's situation is different but all I know is that you can't take it with you and you're alive and well and willing to travel now. Don't let...

    2024 Casita 17' Spirit Deluxe

    Fair point, they are much cheaper as well. I will give it some consideration.

    2024 Casita 17' Spirit Deluxe

    I went over to the camper in storage this afternoon to check on a few things. Outside temp was 32F, inside temp of the trailer with it off was 44F. I was going to be there for 30mins or more so I figured I'd plug the trailer in and do a test on the furnace and warm my bits up in the process. I...

    Ram power wagon value?

    I am seeing anywhere between $9-15K off of sticker listed on inventory RAM 2500/3500's in my area. If I were negotiating with a dealer I would expect $10-12K off minimum before negotiations even began considering the current market and Stellantis being an absolute dumpster fire at the moment.

    2024 Casita 17' Spirit Deluxe

    Looking to install a 30A Smart Plug on the Casita next month. This will allow us to ditch the hardwired connection which I've longed for since day one. In place of the current small door that the hard wired electrical cord lives in we will be able to double the size of the opening with a larger...

    Balancing Payload capacity vs. Offroad

    Yes, it's on the '23+ Super Duty Tremors. I played with it once and it was very similar in application/performance as the same feature that was in our 200 Series Land Cruiser. While it certainly has its place and it's a nifty feature to have in your bag of trail tricks/options, it will certainly...

    F350 Tremor/ Supertramp “TRAMPER’s” build thread.

    I just ordered a Carli Trophy Hitch in order to be able to carry a 37" or 38" spare. I have been very happy with the 37/12.50/18 Toyo Rt Trails I've been running with a Carli level for the past 1.5 years but I will likely bump to a 38/13.50/18 Toyo M/T when it comes time to replace them.
