    Newbie: Suggestions for well-built off-grid campers with a sitting/table area + temperature control? (under $25k)

    Chalets are supposed to be better quality than Aliner. https://chaletinc.com/ I sent them a request for more info today. Thinking of selling the teardrop and getting an XL1930.

    Earth Traveller trardrop.

    $10K for the 300 and $30K for the loaded 250# model (all carbon fiber). Pretty neat. Looks like you need to be short to enjoy it though. I see it appealing to backpackers that drive Teslas.

    Can I get some advice on what to look for? Camper for 2 people and a dog

    I'm taking a serious look at Aliners right now. Either an LXE (I'll turn the sofabed into a fixed king, put struts under it for storage) or an Expedition with a permanent bed. Just me and she with a dog. Which do you have and how have you modded it?

    Northern Teardrop Trailer X North 53 Overland - Semi-Custom Northern Teardrop Trailer Build - Alberta, Canada

    Yeah, my teardrop is significantly heavier than yours will be. I've got a 6x10 with a fully welded skidplate beneath the entire body. Boxed frame as well. This jockey wheel tracks perfectly on any surface. I got it after wrenching my back trying to move the trailer around in my garage after...

    Northern Teardrop Trailer X North 53 Overland - Semi-Custom Northern Teardrop Trailer Build - Alberta, Canada

    We've been teardropping for 10 years now and went through several jockey wheels before getting an Ark XO. It's an F22 in a field of Cessnas. https://www.kakaducamping.com/products/xo-offroad-trailer-jockey-wheel Love this --- might have to order one. Wish it had a sheath though...

    TetonX Hybrid

    It's the height of the awning that gets me. I'm normal height (6'5") and have to duck. Jason is shorter and just gets by under it.

    New RKS Off-Road Trailer That You Might Like!

    I agree; you have to duck-walk or crawl to the ************** to stand up. I'd rather have a full pop-up than a roof that you can sit on.

    Knife thread

    It's a great blade, super slicey, holds its edge. But I only paid $54 for for it. I'd wait for the price to drop. Aus10 is decent steel but not $90 steel. It is pretty though...

    Knife thread

    I have two Damascus blades but neither is that pretty. This is my everyday kitchen knife. Love it. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07HHWSPJH/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    Can I get some advice on what to look for? Camper for 2 people and a dog

    nuCamp makes a much better trailer than the Forest River lines. https://nucamprv.com/tab400-camper/ https://nucamprv.com/tab-cs-camper/ Amish built and cozy. If you call there and talk to Scott, tell him Hilldweller says hi. Very ethical and nice guy running that ship.

    Can we talk coffee brewing?

    I've recently been switching up my instants. I used to drink this in the summer cold but I tried it with hot water and it's great. I can get it at most of the Asian supermarkets around here for $3-$4 a box. https://www.amazon.com/Premium-Vietnamese-Coffee-Instant-Sachets/dp/B07N11MDGW No...

    Off the wall ham "history" question...

    We had a VFO HF rig in the 70s. It was big, like a dorm refrigerator big. None of us had a license so we just listened. You'd hear things from all over the world. I also built a CB from a Lafayette Electronics kit. 23 channels, tubes. When warmed up it was putting out 15 illegal watts ----...
