Respectfully, your claim is inaccurate: the body does not have to come off the chassis, even for a full engine replacement. The 6.4 does demand more maintenance and attention, particularly for the generation of diesel owners accustomed to legendary 5.9 Cummins and 7.3 Powerstrokes, etc. which...

Any CA residents/others familiar with this rule? It appears to apply to CA truck&fleet owners with a truck(s) over 14k lbs that are older than 2011 model year? I foresee some extra space in the National Parks and other tourist locations if they enforce this on all campers traveling into CA.

Still available?

It can be rewarding to sift through a few pages of the chronological entries in the forum: when you're too focused on looking for something specific you will probably be overlooking others that can be valuable. However, and especially when looking to purchase a particular sort of vehicle amid...

Agreed. This would be a good policy and the result would likely be higher quality, more reliable listings than the current disorganized jumble. Perhaps give newbies with zero posts their own area to sell....or at the very least if they are brand new, their listing appears with a red asterisk or...

Even discounting the economic gloom, I'm not seeing anything too unusual. After a decade and a half or more in operation, there are a lot more Earthroamers out there these days, a few hundred at least and the company has been making and selling rigs at a high rate for the last decade+...

Nice looking rig, smart fusion of van and truck camper features. I just checked your website and also skimmed through this thread to find info about rear suspension with no luck, apologize if I missed a description or photo. Is this thing on leaf springs, airbags, etc.? ~What weight is on the...

That's a good driver....and note he's on the small 295/60r22 tires in what appears to be an 08-10 F550 ER. One shortfall in the ER design is the lack of a "gear garage". That said, you can fit a decent amount of kit in the rear gear lockers and storage boxes plus bike rack. My guess is the...

This makes sense particularly and perhaps only if you are swapping the vehicle after a couple of years before the uniquely American melange of cheap/complex electronics and "smart-clean-green" engine design kicks in.

Agreed. I have had a couple of them: Taco is a great little 4x4 truck but Toyota USA (and the rest of the compact trucks made in the US) seems to have little interest designing off-the-shelf small trucks that can manage decent loads on pavement let alone what is needed to go offroad. Earthroamer...

Whenever/wherever there is a cheap, abundant and cleaner source of electricity, these things make perfect sense, especially in urban areas. How is the RIvian on ice? Every time I see an electric car here in winter, I notice two things: it is clean (indicating it is kept in a garage) and that...

[bigger Chevy 6500HD rig] Decent enough looks, cobalt blue line-x must be the new black, though maybe they were just out of the tattersall plaid. Hopefully the chevy has good rear axles that laugh at [14-16k lbs], the carbon is robust and they've got thousands of miles of all-conditions testing...

Hopefully there were no casualties. Any details or perspective on the type of repairs needed? One would think attaching a box to a unimog chassis is more or less routine these days.

Intriguing?!

Though not in Australia, shipping rolls of tape might work and have some applicability for you: https://www.blueshiftmaterials.com/product/rocketape-rtpis/ I haven't used this product but have assessed aerogel performance in arctic conditions, it is impressive. This company or another like it...

It will be interesting to see if/when Storyteller figures out what they're doing and starts offering new trucks.

I know this owner and rig very well: both are exceptional. Finding a Sprinter equivalent to this one will not be an easy undertaking.

Doors always seem to be a truly difficult replacement. Buying an extra door and fittings is underlined on my "next rig" must-do list. Fiberglass would be really good if you or someone you hire can get it right. Depending on the strength of your hinges and hinge mounts, I wonder if it would be...

I wouldn't worry about bears, bigger risks are marmots and woodrats that are much more likely damage your rig and then your head explodes when you see the cost and time needed for the repair. Seriously, I would focus more on tire maintenance, road/weather conditions and two-legged threats if you...
