    Swing arm suspension?

    This from the Boler site regarding Dexter Torflex axle system: Replacing your Axle Over time the axle will wear out, the rubber elastomer will deteriorate with use and age. As the elastomer deteriorates the axle will start to sag, causing the trailer to sit lower, there can also be movement...

    Swing arm suspension?

    ^ I'm not seeing it on the chart you linked. For instance: Full load, 22.5º down and I'm seeing 1.49 to 2.31" of outer radius arm travel. They're just not a performance suspension system. They're cheap and simple and this is why so many typical RV trailers come with it. Ditto just about...

    Swing arm suspension?

    FYI & FWIW, Kimberley added, after user complaints of tippy-ness/suspension roll, an anti-sway bar to their indie set-up on the Karavan and Kruiser trailers.

    Swing arm suspension?

    Torflex(less): 2" of travel is barely enough for smooth pavement. Coupled with little to no damping and... I looked at Timbren, but once again it has minimal wheel travel and rubber for damping. Just another band-aid.

    How do you transport your fishing rods?

    Cross post from Storage Solutions post...this is a home-brew fly rod & reel case I fabbed (~$100)...works great.

    Swing arm suspension?

    Been thinking similar for our Escape 15A. Probably a 2021 project...but really hating the Dexter Torflex.

    What makes a good camp stove?

    I have owned and extensively used many different portable/"camp" stoves over many decades including several different Cook Partner stoves of varying sizes including my current 22. I like the durability of the CP's but one thing would make it even better (for me): Either a dual ring burner...

    I purchased this Magma 10-piece Stainless Steel Ceramica (non-toxic per Magma) non-stick nesting pot & pan set brand new from Magma several years ago and its served me well. Well, until we went induction. So I've replaced this set with the exact same plus induction. This set I am selling...

    Camp Tables - What are you using?

    I thought I posted my DIY folding camp table...but I guess not so here it is: I fabbed it almost 6-years ago...used honeycomb aluminum, laminate edge & top, aluminum legs with 4" height adjustment at each leg & air cylinder struts. Weighs 17lbs...and has been so useful I couldn't imagine...

    Snowpeak Home & Camp Burner

    Ok, at first glance this stove looks neat I guess. But unlike my Iwatani single burner you can’t leave the butane canister connected/stored together, so not sure how much space is really saved. And looks like lots of pivots/joints/moving parts... How about its performance in wind? Small...

    Maggiolina Fabric Removal and Reinstallation to replace zipper

    The zippers on my Columbus also went south...but I was able to get this to buy me time: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009MRFPKM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 And they work very well. But long term I'll probably need to remove the fabric walls and sew in a new...

    Cook Partner stove FAQ / Master thread

    That's my only quip with my PS stove: Flame spread. Years ago I spoke to them and they were considering designing a larger diameter, dual or triple flame ring burner, but I never heard any more about it. PS burners are already high pressure... I would guess 20k burners are going to...

    XPCamper goes out of business, files for bankruptcy?

    Fridge Straps?

    Rollercam straps. Been using them since they were intro'd. Nothing else in the cam strap and/or ratchet strap world compares for tightness and compact form factor. https://www.rollercam.com
