As the title suggests. I cannot seem to make a decision on keeping with industry standard of LP, or go the diesel route, or some sort of combination between the two. LP: US industry standard lots of parts/appliance available - though not always good quality relatively simple can be dangerous...

I remember seeing some discussions a few years ago, but not quite sure where they went. Curious about others who have converted from drum to disc brakes on sterling 10.25 axles and what the end result (performance) was. Worth it, or no? I'm getting tired of having my drums just not working...

So from all the research I have done, I generally understand the following to be correct: IF the trailer axle width matches your tow vehicle, and the trailer center axle to hitch length matches the tow vehicle wheelbase, THEN in theory the trailer will follow in the tracks of the tow vehicle...

Starting (I think) to enter the final phases of custom trailer planning/design with the many sketches/ideas I have thought of over the last 2 years. The general idea will be building my own trailer from a cargo trailer, but not quite what most would see on google searches. This will not only...

Lets talk wiring. I'm sure everyone has gone through the struggle. You have a new radio, its installed, you want to mount the antenna....but how/where do you route the cable?? Many opt to either run through a existing hole in the firewall, while others just run through the door seal, and some...

No doubt so many people remove the stock bed for something different. Maybe a flatbed, maybe a service bed, maybe a bed mounted camper. I am interested in a flatbed with boxes to keep things modular, and to have a canopy built to sit atop for secure storage and keeping things dry. Items that...

As I continue working on my truck (see build thread if you wish), now that the moving situation has slightly slowed down, and the new schedule gives me a feel for what I really desire long term, I have been considering finishing my current truck build and possibly going another route. The truck...

Anyone ever come across din mounting plates? My local car stereo place doesn't have what would work and google seems to be failing me at the moment. I don't care for the factory supplied brackets. Look kinda cheesy to me, and something more 'police' style would be harder to steel too. Have a...

Ok all. So as I sit here in pain from lower back problems over the last several weeks, still waiting for ortho to give me an MRI I am contemplating things. Not able to do things like normal, but so far been given the 'ok' by the doc even though a lumbar disc issue is highly suspect as contrary...

Questions regarding antenna locations and impacts to overall signal quality/shape, and impacts to other antenna/signals. I have done some reading, researching, and questioning, but have found some conflicting info. So hoping I can get some clarification here before drilling holes...since...

I'm getting closer to getting front and rear bumpers. '97F350 CCLB (with shackle flip, so front bumper mounting is not 'factory'. Current thoughts. Front: Full size winch bumper from buckstop - considering the Outback - high potential for animal collisions and really don't want to destroy my...

Ok all, so I've done a ton of reading for, well a long time, and as parts of my build get closer I'm becoming no more knowledgeable as I had hoped for electrical systems. I'm no newbie to electrical theory, but for some reason this particular bit is getting the best of me. I am trying to...

Ok so question for you all. There undoubtedly is a lot of discussion on water heating types. Propane, diesel, solar bags, etc... Though I am still trying to figure out needed battery bank size for a variety of things, and what this means in terms of battery size, type, recharge rate...

So some questions for the community about electrical theory. I think I just overloaded and fried my brain with some engineering stuff for other things, or having a brain fart, but in figuring some electrical mods I seem to have confused myself. The general question regards wiring needs for...

Hey all. So this is sort of piggy backing of a previous thread, but I wanted to start a new one since its not specific to pop-up's https://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/camper-style-pro-con.193575/#post-2480140 After doing some looking and research, I'm back to the drawing board of...

As the title suggests. I have been noticing (in my area especially) a drastic increase in stolen full sized trucks. More specifically, 9th and 10th gen F350's with either the 7.3 or 6.0. Others have certainly experienced the same fate, but for some reason the Fords are getting all the...

Hey all, as the title suggests. I'm looking to hear weigh in's of different camper types. More specifically, standard slide-in vs. flatbed vs. custom's that will fit in a service/utility bed. I have long considered a custom pop-up that will fit in a service bed as I frequently carry much...

As the title suggests. I've done a lot of reading over the last few years, and have now just simply become overwhelmed with so many options and technologies - especially relating to HAM's. There seems to be some contradicting information, so I was hoping for input to sort it out, or at least...

Ok so looking for some input on various options for a fridge/freezer setup. I've been having ongoing issues with my trailers 3 way fridge, and cannot find the culprit, so until it has been fixed, I am in the market for a portable fridge/freezer so I dont loose any more food when the main unit...
