    Tribe EX500

    Well then give Tribe the following feedback. Upgrade to some name brand components instead of no name Chinese stuff. Doesn't need to be Victron and Battleborn if they are trying to hit a lower price point but this trailer still isn't cheap and when you see it on the Chinese websites for...

    Backroads Overland Trailer

    Doh! Another coffin on wheels. Not the style I'm looking for but looks promising for someone who is. Sent from my SM-G991U using Tapatalk

    Is it just when I go to the link or is there no pictures of this thing? What does it look like? Sent from my SM-G991U using Tapatalk

    Wombat Camper

    Thank you. I know I asked you this in multiple locations and I appreciate your answering in each. I understand your thought process. To some degree it becomes personal preference and there is nothing wrong with that. I wonder what the weight delta between the plywood and aluminum actually is? In...

    Wombat Camper

    Any future plans to move away from so much wood? I certainly understand using carpentry in the early days of the design as I am guessing it would be easier and cheaper to tweak the design as real world use potentially drives design changes. I'm just thinking the market will push towards less...

    Pause overland trailer

    100% spot on. Nobody is advocating irresponsible spending that puts the basic requirements of a healthy life for you and your family at risk but enjoying life while you can and when you can is important. If I have set myself up financially to responsibly afford a trailer payment now then why...

    Mission Overland Approach

    I hear you on the Garmin system. I would option that out if it was possible. For a trailer of that size and style I just don't see the usefulness or appeal other than being a fancy gadget. Is the Approach garagable height? I didn't really look that closely at the height. Sent from my SM-G991U...

    Mission Overland Approach

    I was just look at what I could find of the Approach. It appears to be an interesting option depending on your desires. Personally, I prefer the Boreas EOS-12, despite the Garmin over complication. I prefer the independent air suspension capabilities and I prefer the way the wet bath is setup...

    Tribe EX500

    I'm so confused by this trailer. If this was a phone call I'd be suspecting scam all day. LoL! Sent from my SM-G991U using Tapatalk

    Tribe EX500

    I suspect you can count on it having similar wall construction to other China mfg options. It will have foam sandwich panels around 1-1.5" thick. Skin will be either aluminum or FRP. Likely has aluminum framing in the walls although they may have gone solid one piece panels on the top section to...

    I'm not sure what is going on in that wet bath. I wish they would just simplify with a composting toilet. Sent from my SM-G991U using Tapatalk

    Tribe EX500

    I think the question for the owner is are their trailers manufactured in the China factory and assembled in AZ similar to OBI? That is the model most of these Chinese "knockoffs" follow such as Opus, Black Series, MDC, OBI, etc. Again, nothing wrong with that. Just a matter of transparency and...

    Tribe EX500

    They typically skirt around "US made" for the Dwellers too. I'm all for options and I am not opposed to some Chinese manufacturing but I wish they would just be up front about it. Tell me why, if you can, this Chinese product is better. How are they maintaining quality control? At least the...

    choosing is tough - analysis paralysis

    EPO, I'm mostly with you. I personally have zero interest in purposely camping in extreme cold temps but that's not the case for everyone. A full-timer like TreeFarmer definitely has different considerations to plan for. For me, my interest in cold weather capability only extended to late...

    choosing is tough - analysis paralysis

    DFNDR, definitely keep us posted on the EOS once you pick it up and get it out in the wild. I wish there was a bit more in depth detail about it available. I'm really liking it the more I think about it. I originally had written it off because I was avoiding pop-tops. You are right though that...

    choosing is tough - analysis paralysis

    I think the big thing about the Aussie built or inspired designs are exactly what ROA regularly highlights in that they are not designed for the full gamut of climates in North America. For some that will be no issue. If I'm spending this much on a trailer I would like the option to use it year...

    choosing is tough - analysis paralysis

    I have looked at the Reconn trailers. They do have a lot of cool features. I just have literally never heard of anyone out there actually buying one. I also assume you will end having to pay the import costs which drive the Aussie rigs price up even further. That's one of the big issues with...
