Hey, Frank! Thanks for the comments, I'm really looking forward to the build. It is a Radio body with some discussion by the “experts” of it being one of the VAMPIRE escorts. Doesn't really matter to me as it has received a significant amount of modification by previous owners...

Just chillaxing I see. Nice and peaceful...

This sounds more like a Land Rover problem...except all I have to do is show one of mine a bfh and something breaks. Best of luck in finding something simple to repair!

Ah, now that's living on the road (or off road) in style. Really well done (and a tasty looking omelet)!

Is the input too hot for something like this? https://www.mcmaster.com/#insulated-duct-hose/=1bs7911

So, I'll share my perspective, but thought his video by the fit RV team says it all on composting toilets. It is almost 30 minutes, but well worth the watch. https://youtu.be/vM71d8wMuUU Interestingly, I agree with all their negatives and would not own one, but we all have different...

You can get a cheap check valve and put it on the end of the vent hose. Allows air in, but not water out.

What a buzz kill...

That's a step to use to climb into the front seat. Yes on the roof. I've designed a pop top and am looking for a source for the insulated walls.

I didn't see the original poster as beating on flippers, more advising hobbiest to make wise choices in where and how they sell their prized vehicles. Frankly, vehicles are commodities and are sold as such. If a buyer negotiated a great deal and then “flips” it for profit, more power...

Based on various conversations, threads and PMs I have received, I've been doing a lot of thinking and planning for my next build. Originally, I wanted a reliable, comfortable overland traveler for my wife and I. We are both in our 50's, retired with four kids now all off the payroll! Over the...

Hey, at least they used stainless hardware! What a basic thing to get wrong. Painting or powder coating mild steel in an application with pivot of friction points (these latches have both) is a recipe for failure. As to the rave reviews, perhaps their quality has suffered recently and people...

Excellent article! Mine are 32, 29, 26, and 18 and most of the tips still apply! This year, for the first time, we will be kid free in our adventures and I'm hoping it is still as much fun.

They sell them on eBay: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F282623290451

Nice write up, thanks for posting!

When you shop for a bargain and compare prices looking for the best deal (as we are taught to do), we pit companies against each other and their operating margin. This promotes a series of compromises. These compromises show up as under engineered solutions (poor design choices), unsuitable...

Thanks, folks. Given where I plan on going, I'm looking for an insulated material. I'm thinking two layers with some foam insulation in the middle sewn together. However, I need to find insulation material that won't breakdown. I've seen some foam that within a few years is yellowed and brittle...

Real world experience, real world use. This is why this forum exists and threads like this, as disappointing from a product quality perspective as they are, are a real service to the rest of us. Thanks for posting a detailed review and while I'm very sorry to hear of your experience, the...

Thanks, Michael, that is great perspective and exactly the kind of input I'm looking for prior to digging in too deeply. I appreciate it! I too considered several approaches, including the four lift approach, which I rejected for exactly the reasons you stated. Compounding my challenge is the...

Once you thought you were done and gave the wheel a final spin just before lowering it to the ground, did it spin freely and sound normal? Your answer is why the beer drinking always waits until the job is complete, a reward for a job well done. If you have a pickle fork, you can try to get it...
