    Bush Company Alpha RTT

    Sorry, my comment was ambiguous; I meant to say the awning apart of the RTT appears it would really flap in windy conditions.

    Bush Company Alpha RTT

    Looks like a nice enough RTT, but that awning surely will be a noise maker in notorious western state's winds.

    Swing arm suspension?

    Just had Trail-Tailor in Redding convert the 6YO failed Torflex axle for OME 60-Series leaf springs on our Escape 15A. Even without the shocks installed yet (probably need to lose one leaf within the pack to be the right ride height and spring rate...then shocks and brackets will be...

    SOLD: PowerFilm F15-3600 Foldable 60W Solar Charger Blanket

    SOLD! Works perfectly, used it a few times and have since added solar panels to my rig. Super compact and lightweight. I was able to keep my Odyssey auxiliary battery charged running a 50L fridge. The connector is compatible with GM style Weatherpack so you can easily make up...

    Who has the oldest, still working 12 volt fridge/freezer?

    Bought my Waeco CF-51 in 2005 and it keeps on keeping on. I've replaced the goofy lid clasp mechanism a few times...and need to do it again now. But other than that the CF-51 has paid dividends and taken a tough pounding over the past 15-years.

    Swing arm suspension?

    Exactly. Nothing will be used from the RV industry LOL. Probably 60-Series length springs and good shocks as they worked really well on another custom trailer I had. I just don't have time to do all that right now...OTOH waiting 2-3 months for a new Torflex kinda screws us for upcoming trips.

    Swing arm suspension?

    ^ Per Connie Massie, Warranty & Service Administrator at Dexter Corp: She recommends the 3500# rated Torflex; said the rating is conservative and could handle 300lbs more (3800lbs) without issue. She seemed very knowledgable and discouraged me from ordering heavier rated axle. She said...

    Swing arm suspension?

    After experiencing what seems like suspension bottom out bobbing apart of a little trip last week I had the trailer weighed on a CAT scale: 2560lbs (with tow rig connected but on separate pad; so need to add back approximately 250-300lbs to account for tongue weight); below the 3500lb #10...

    Camp Tables - What are you using?

    ^ Nice find Robert! Getting ready to start on another camp table; this time for the Escape trailer. Starting with a 2'x4'x1/2" sheet of FRP which is incredibly light (the panel weighs ~4lbs) and incredibly rigid for its weight and thickness. It will also serve as our outdoor shower...

    Autohome or Roofnest Falcon XL

    I wasn't aware of the GT 360! The Autohome IT site doesn't list the 360 being available in XL but obviously from your info it does come in extra long. It looks like a very nice tent! I'd swap my Variant for one! I also swapped out the ladder that comes with it for a telescoping ladder...

    Autohome or Roofnest Falcon XL

    ^ GT is a nice tent. Better doors & screens IMHO than the Variant. And you won't be bothered by flapping fabric in bigger wind conditions. I had a local mattress shop make me a 4" cross drilled natural latex mattress for the GT and it was just super comfortable yet supportive. But heavy...

    Anyone out there with a 23Zero awning? Or other awning they love?

    LC: Mounted the awning on a Front Runner rack with brackets I fabbed. Escape trailer: Mounted the brackets directly to the fiberglass shell (top).

    Autohome or Roofnest Falcon XL

    Overall, I've been happy with my 8-year old Columbus small width extra long. I'm 5'10" and I recommend you get the extra long ("XL"). The perfect RTT doesn't exist, at least for my criteria. But the Variant is solid except for the following on our unit. The Variant I have came with velcro...

    Anyone out there with a 23Zero awning? Or other awning they love?

    @dangerbus 's looks like the bombdigity! Ditto above: What brand, etc., is it?! I have a 11 YO 8' Fiamma F45 on my LC and its been just super; I'd buy it again if I had to but even after TONS of tree branch scrapes and UNTOLD high speed washboard miles (150k or so on it since the Fiamma went...
