Good to know, thank you!

Thanks for the intel on the windows! In my searches around, I haven't found any other window manufacturer who offers any solution at all for people with thick walls. Whatever solution we devise, and risk we take, is completely on us. It's nice that Tern is at least attempting to recognize our...

If you rarely reach the limits of your shocks, ie: it's street driven truck, it won't matter much. If you do 4-wheel the truck, you should pick the best shocks and then install both appropriate bump stops and limiting straps. I never take anyone's word for the length of shock I need. Even...

Thanks for sharing that Mike. There are tens of thousands of homeless people in the US now, living in their cars. The number could easily be hundreds of thousands, since they are mostly invisible. A set-up like this could work well for them. I have built very similar set-ups for small cars...

I've logged a ton of ice miles, and I would definitely sipe them if I bought them. Les Schwab used to sipe mine, but I don't live in "Les Schwab Country" anymore. I'll be buying a siping tool soon. I'm interested to hear about noise, ride, and overall handling.

Please do a review for us! It looks interesting, and it is made in the USA by Cooper. It is 2 lbs lighter than the STT Maxx. I have run Mastercraft, and Dean , also made by Cooper, and they were really great tires. Cooper makes these brands: Mastercraft, Dean, Starfire, Roadmaster, Avon...

Nice rig, but I don't understand the 6' and 6'2" options?? Dometic windows? In your demo video, the blind is already going wonky. Usually that happens a month or two down the road with Dometics. Seriously though, looks like a very high quality build. Love the insulated soft wall and the...

I agree. It is definitely too close! as soon as the truck starts to flex over uneven ground you will get contact. That rack is close enough to cause a significant dent. I would leave at least 4 inches clearance

Nice Work!! If you really are a solo traveler, consider taking out the passenger seat. The possibilities for that huge space are amazing. I have had several vehicles over the years where I had the passenger seat mounted with quick release pins, so that I could drop in my solo unit easily...

If I had the choice, I would do the split gears. They do not offer them for my Toyota. I have 2lo in my truck, so I really only use 4WD in soft stuff. I know the difference is small, but I like erring a little towards the side of pulling with the front. In really slippery stuff, it helps...

I saw this at the Expo. Pretty neat design. I believe the cost stems from the fact that the production models will have molded components from some company that builds indy car bodies. The prototype was pretty rough, but it will be interesting to see what the finished product looks like.

I think the more you travel, the more you appreciate a hardside. For me there is no other choice. I grow weary of the set-up. I also travel year round in plenty of challenging weather. Another factor for me is stealth camping. I need the ability to sleep in my vehicle without any tell tale...

Another sad fact of life is that just about anywhere along most roads where you can pull over, will be a mess with diapers and piles. I suspect this community is far more responsible, but humanity as a whole is not pretty.

Dumping any of this on the ground is another matter. A little common sense goes a long way.

Seems ridiculous to obsess about poo disposal when we live in a world with disposable diapers. Millions of tons of diapers every year. They end up everywhere. The best toilet system I have used is a bucket with a bag and kitty litter or camp fire ash. I drop it in the first trash can I find...

Costco socks are good for the price, but my beef with them is that the dye lots are all screwed up. They have a dozen "shades of gray/black/blue/brown" that are just barely different. Matching them up after washing is a pain in the butt. I finally quite trying and just wore mismatched socks...

This is a good tip. The 2mm version weighs the same as .040 aluminum, but is much more dent resistant. It is super easy to work with. This product is made under a number of product/brand names, so check around. Diebond is one. A sign supply wholesaler will give you much better pricing than...

I travel alone. No one is going to be pulling me anywhere. The point is that things that we routinely trust, are often less reliable than the things we don't trust. Meant to say 10 ply, not 8

any good local metal shop can get it for you. Do not go to an RV supplier or you will pay double. I just bought 6 sheets of .040 polar white aluminum 4x10 for $126 per sheet. This stuff is already painted, and one side has a protective film to prevent scratches during assembly. The...
