RallyeX, superb looking rig. Couple of questions: First, what color is your truck? How heavy is your truck? How are the G275's wearing/performing and what pressures do you run? Thanks and good luck on your travels.

Very nice looking rig. Is the motor deleted? Any particular reason for sale, ordered one of the new LTi's?

All of this likely goes without saying for most, but if you have chains and don't use them often, practice putting them on/taking them off (guarantee you'll save time in the long run). I chain up on two and all four (not a Fuso but it is a heavy 4x4 camper) pretty regularly. Here is what I do...

Maybe a good idea to have a couple of chainsaw file kits in your miscellaneous equipment list.

To answer the OP: because ER's camper is a substantially heavy (some might say Bismarck or Tirpitz heavy) vehicle and it only makes sense to go with Ford's highest weight rating "pickup truck" design. Depending on the year, the Dana 110 rear axle is rated to ~14k lbs. Most ER's have a rear...

ER's usually have about 90 gallons of fresh water (fyi: in a single tank on the pax side just in front of the right rear wheel. It's in a well-protected position, well insulated with about an inch of solid foam board insulation and has a large DC heat pad that clicks on at ~40F and lower to...

Intriguing rig. What is average hwy mpg? Is the rear seating Scheel-Mann as well? Thanks.

If you want to live in a 4x4 studio-apartment-on-wheels and your budget is <$300k, you might look at a new/used Outside Van and also a used Earthroamer. Outside Van is probably going to be far easier to get around in, has a ton of build options, and will probably get you anywhere in the wilds an...

Thanks for the good input Loup. I'm surprised that you need to replace tires that often, guessing tread wear is the main reason to get new tires? I've heard from several owners that MPT81's aren't so good in snow and ice which is a deal-breaker for me so the tire hunt continues. I've been...

Check out their website and go to preowned, it's been awhile but if you're talking about the little ones on the rear bumper, their trucks appear to use these: https://www.eberhard.com/details/folding-steps/585809-series I think they use powered amp steps or something similar for accessing the...

I am looking for a solar or battery powered lights in yellow and red to replace the proximity/clearance lights on a tall camper (trying to eliminate through-hull wiring).

+1 I would also appreciate hearing anyone's experience siping the MPT81. Would it diminish the already short lifespan of this tire much? I am considering MPT81 335/80R20 for year round use. I don't go offroad all that much but spend plenty of time on dirt roads and winter driving. I've heard...

"Diablo", not "disable" makes a good saw blade.

Check out USfloors Coretec plus/pro plus. With moderate DIY capabilities, marine grade sealant/adhesive and a table saw with a good blade (thin kerf, carbide tip or disable makes a good performance blade for laminate, the fmr works better for ripping) on your table saw, it's pretty...

Does anyone know of a manufacturer who makes a self-adhesive/no-drilling required solar light, in yellow and red, that could be used to act as [emergency/replacement] clearance lights on a truck?

Good info. If you don't mind me asking, what vehicle/weight are you driving, what type of roads/offroad and, what size MPT 81?

Any input much appreciated regarding use of MPT81 335/80R20 in a 4x4 camper in the 19-20k lbs GVWR: I have been looking at the MPT81 for a couple of years now and getting close to pulling the trigger on a set with hutchinson wheel. I've gotten some great info from various owners but one...

I really like these rigs and the price seems fair enough given the quality of the camper but is there no option for a crew cab with 4x4? IMHO, one limiting factor for EC seems to be the inability to carry more passengers. I asked Thinairathlete (who is selling his/hers on this site) about how...

Very nice EC, I have a few questions: Do you know roughly how heavy it is when you load it up for a trip (full fuel, water, fun gear, etc.) and how close to GVWR is this? It looks like it only seats two. How do you travel with kids/passengers? How is it on dirt roads, snow and ice (do you ever...

Wrong. Despite being colder and snowier than most states, it is nothing like the northeast/midwest on a car or truck: Montana doesn't use road salt. If you want to see a stressed-out Montanan, hang out just south of the MT-Canadian border and watch how fast the MT trucks race to a carwash to...
