I am a few hundred shekels poorer today after having the oil, fuel filters and air filters changed this morning. Currently sitting at 12,200 on the ODO as of today. If the stars align and @Kingsize24 I can get together next I just might finally get around to installing the factory Warn winch.

I had to take a few things to the camper before next weekends outing. Since the local weather didn't play nice for this weekends trip I just hung out in there for a minute admiring how much more space I have in this setup than in previous campers/trailers. It's a small trailer in the grand...

As much as I love a FWC I chose to go trailer this time around for similar reasons. I simply need the bed for toys and it's nice to have a proper base camp setup and ready to go in a matter of minutes versus being forced to set everything up and take it back down every time I want to move.

No, the new “Land Cruiser” is hideous and insulting with its awful front end and four banger at $69K. The wife is holding out for year two on the new GX550 Overtrail Plus but odds are late next year before you can get your hands on one without an ADM and at $83K they are pricey for the segment...

I bet it’s just time for her to replace the torsion axle, they wear out in 5-8 years. The shock kits aren’t bad but I don’t like how they rest the upper tower inside of the wheel well. A furnace/heater is a must, I agree! So far we are extremely happy with ours. Enjoy your GF’s Casita...

I think towing in general is almost always better with a proper full-size truck as they usually have bigger brakes, a stronger frame/chassis and transmission and often times better cooling systems for that added stress. I would prefer to tow a load well under the max rating for a particular...

Ehh, I guess it all depends on how you use it. When boon docking I don't shower every day, a whore's bath with shower wipes gets you by for an extra day and when I do shower it's back to basic training type showers where I had 90 seconds lol. No water wasted in this house, err I mean camper lol...

I remember when these first came out, I wanted so badly haha. I flirted with a few M1101's but it was short lived and I agree, if you can adapt some of the hand brakes to your Chaser I think that would be a worthy venture. I would also consider an adjustable hitch or riser extension so that you...

I have a 25 gallon fresh water tank, I think that's plenty for the boon docking we plan to do. How big is it on the Winnie?

The first night in the camper was a success! We went to a local lake RV park so nothing too exciting but it was a pleasant experience. We realized a few things/items we overlooked as well as some stuff we already want to change and/or add. At this moment I have to say that I am extremely happy...

I agree, for a single person or a couple they are hard to beat, a third person when necessary can be done but it’s not ideal. You could of course forgo the bath and get the double bunks to sleep four and there’s the Heritage model that when equipped without the bath can sleep six but for 95% of...

It's nice to see you making some quality improvements to a retail trailer. I have a buddy with one and even though it is more of a mass produced stick and staple style trailer his has been holding up pretty well to boon docking off-road. I understand making concessions on off-road durability and...

Yea, the open air RV slots are damn near worthless to me. The Tremor is great, definitely serves the purpose I bought it for but not as nice of a daily. There will be another Cruiser in the garage in time, just have to see what exactly that will be haha. I still check in over there from time to...

I have done lots of towing with both full-size and mid-size SUV's and full-size trucks. If towing I prefer a truck, they almost always tow better than an SUV. I prefer a truck bed for the dirty, stinky, wet stuff I'd never want inside of my vehicle and no matter how big your SUV is, the cargo...

Thanks, it's just a boat storage rental. I have a few of them in that facility, this one houses the camper and motorcycle trailer along with a few kayaks and hitch mounted items. It's nice to have your stuff out of the elements completely and away from prying eyes. There's electrical hook-ups in...

It's going to look bada$$ in white.

Agreed, fiber glass was the only option in my eyes. There are some great options out there, Scamp, Escape, Big Foot, Oliver, Cortes, BackPack, Snoozy, etc.

I remember seeing my first one some 16-17 years back and I've wanted one ever since. It's just the two of us so it's perfect.

Between the lift and the new larger tires, 'Chancho' gained about 4.5" in ground clearance today. I am pretty happy with how it turned out, IMHO it's a major improvement in terms of ground clearance, approach and break over and just all-around looks. Four (4) new 7500lb jacks and mounting plates...

I recall it doing ok below 70 mph. Seems on the road at 70+ would give it a bit of waggle from time to time.
