Not way too much info at all! Clever fixes, and your experience as an engineer working on door sealing and environmental seals shows. I'd love to hear more.

These are awesome trailers. I have a 2017 XV-2 and have hauled it over 10,000 miles around America on extended trips. It's a trailer that'll be around for my kid and grandkid to use and will still look the same. All aluminum, huck-bolted, rugged as all get-out, etc.

A lot of folding panels, most I dare say, have an inline fuse in the cord before it hits the charge controller, so it wouldn't need to go through a fuse block, but it ain't gonna hurt. Fixed mount panels might be different.

There are three K470s that are listed as "bear resistant" actually; #40810, #40568, and #40678, but it's a great question if those are the only ones submitted. The 40678 is a pretty good-sized box, almost two feet long by over thirteen inches deep, so I can't imagine that it's only small sizes...

Mike, sorry I didn't notice the link to Zarges in your post. I have to say I absolutely love my Zarges cases for food storage. Easily the best containers I've ever used for food, or anything else for that matter. I just bought another one they had on clearance that I'm going to use as field desk...

There is this, too, the Tailgaterz Hang-n-Haul organizer: I have one, but never used it, going instead for a different way of storing stuff. You can hang it up while in camp, then remove and roll it up with stuff still in it, if you want, to store for next trip. I might dig it out for this...

Can't vouch for Alu-Box but know that three sizes of the Zarges K470 are "bear resistant." From what I understand, and for what it's worth, Zarges cases are the original aluminum travel cases. One thing I like about them is that the rubber seal/gasket is in the lid, not along the edge of the...

As rayra says, looks like the bottom of those, with the square that snugs up when the nut is tightened, fit slots in both the Frontrunner and Rhino-rack type platform trays. The top config? No idea.

XV-2 Axle Rating Feedback and Report Well, been back on the Maine coast for a few weeks after my mongo gear-gathering and off-grid trip and have some observations about the axle rating. I was on the road sixteen weeks and traveled just under 12,500 miles, hauling my XV-2 trailer over 10,500...

I have a couple Think Tank bags and find them to be the best overall professional solutions for a variety of situations. Here's their website: https://www.thinktankphoto.com/ Tripods generally get strapped to the outside of your bag and good bags make it easy to do that with a little pouch to...

Need help? Let me know if you need any kind of help cleaning up, restoring things, or of any other kind. I can pretty much build a house from the ground up. Though I don’t have all my tools with me on the road, I can scoot down there quite easily from where I am in SW Ohio right now. Happy to...

Oh my. . .what a terrible thing to have happen. Glad your Fuso did not sustain irreparable damage, but so sorry your house is a loss. I didn't get to talk to you at Overland Expo but was camped just over from you and was packing up my van and trailer same time as you were the last morning...

A few images of my trusty van from my most recent outing. . .08 GMC Savana Duramax A few images of my trusty van from my most recent outing, in no particular order; just over five weeks wandering for my gear-gathering trip and just under 8,000 miles so far, with a couple more thousand to go...

@Tintman - that is one awesome rig and one very sweet interior. If you did all or most of that work yourself, you have some mad skills, mister. Very cool, clean, and efficient looking.

Hey @Osmo79 - your sweet Vanagon is absolutely worthy as a follow up to others here. I like it a lot and have spent a lot of time wandering the Midwest and the California coast in the same kind of setup, though with no awning. As for switching to a diff vehicle for south of the border or not...
