There are a lot of scamp owners on http://www.fiberglassrv.com/forums/ if you want more opinions

Right, removing the antenna gives you clearance, but good luck getting XM or GPS through an obstacle like a popup camper. The Onstar/cell would be just fine and relocating the antenna would be relatively easy, but in my experience XM and GPS are very sensitive to any type of obstacle since they...

The problem with the 2015+ Colorado/Canyon is that the antenna assembly provides GPS/XM/Onstar/AM and FM signals. The only ones of those I care about are GPS and XM (for traffic), so I would need some sort of way to relocate the GPS and XM antennas to the top of the GoFast near the front hinge...

With that much time before you need to make a decision, try renting first. Class C RV's are readily available in various sizes. A's and B/B+ like the Sprinter-based vans are available in some areas. Family RV in San Jose has them, as well as a couple of 5th wheels. You might also consider a...

Definitely not! I should have been more specific because I realize that some people's definition of serious rock-crawling terrain would be way worse than mine. I'm thinking about terrain that may require stacking rocks to avoid high centering, with approach and departure angles being the other...

Well, I used to go on some pretty adventurous trails in Colorado in my 2WD 1981 Toyota truck. Later I had a 1985 Toyota Tercel 4WD wagon, which probably had about 70 hp that I used to get up to the paragliding launch sites with 4 people and 4 wings on board. If it got stuck we got out and...

OK, so let's say you need something that can actually go off-road to follow your very experienced friends in some serious rock-crawling terrain. Problem is you have a full-time job and a life that doesn't leave a lot of time for building something up from scratch, or you just don't want to...

Check out Escape Trailers 19 for something that is above average in quality and would work with 2 kids and is the proper weight. There are people on the escape forum that tow them with a 4Runners. They are not suitable for serious off-road, but you could use it as a base camp on graded dirt...

What ever happened with the dual-battery tray? This and the air compressor mount are the two things I'm really looking to do to mine.

There is no Ford 6.4 gas engine. The F250's have come with the 6.2L since 2011. I had a 2012 F350 and it averaged 14.5 empty if I babied it, so not sure why you think the 5.7 V8 is worse on MPG. That seems unlikely but I don't have any stats to back it up. The biggest problem with an HD...

Sold

These were used lightly for 2 off-road trips and measured at 80% of new tread depth (13/32 vs 15/32). Never had a puncture and sidewalls are perfect. They are mounted on VW Canyon wheels right now, which you can have for free, or I can provide them unmounted. $400. Pm me or email...

So does anybody know when the ZR2 will be released? Couldn't find anything definitive.

I thought the new Power Wagon with a FWC Hawk would be an awesome overlanding rig. Add air bags and you are good to go. Here's a page with links to a Power Wagon and heavy Hallmark camper on the Overland Expo 2013 course. I know it is not rated to carry the weight you have, but the consensus...

Did a quick search but haven't found any discussion about possible availability for aftermarket parts for the 2015 Colorado. I would imagine normal mods would be tires, bumpers / front skid, sliders, and 3" lift. Looks like it is a bit lower than a Tacoma or 4Runner in the front at least. Any...

I've had both an Envoy Denali 5.4 4X4 (2006) and a VW Touareg TDI (2012). The Touareg has WAY more ground clearance (stock) and WAY better power and brakes. The brakes in the GMC are seriously lacking. The VW does not have a low range transfer case any more (since 2010), but it is an 8-speed...
