    Kimberly S3 Purchase

    KK has deducted 20% for North American buyers importing direct from AU KK because of the lack of a stateside KK dealer. That is the dealer margin. It seems like an inordinate gamble/business model based upon what surely would be low relative unit sales (given the price point; nothing to do...

    Alu-Cab Has Landed In The USA!

    It is nice to finally see some movement into well designed and constructed camping systems for the USA marketplace! I think we're all long tired of seeing what exciting products exist in parts of Europe, South Africa and Australia, yet very little, if any choice, in segments for real dirt...

    1999 Toyota 100-Series Landcruiser Custom Overland Build

    Page 1 Dave :ylsmoke:: "So that begs the question: Why am I selling it? My soon to be wife and I are on the heals of a major lifestyle change. I've purchased an '07 Chevy LBZ HD2500 with the expectation of ordering a Kimberley Kruiser next year for living out of both full time on and off-road...

    2016 Trail Tailor 4x4 Camping/Haul Trailer

    SOLD! Jason Reeves aka Trail Tailor (aka @reevesci on IH8MUD) and I collaborated on the design of this custom one-off trailer build.

    awnings for winds?

    When I pulled trigger on my current Fiamma Ti45 awning there were very few choices in the marketplace; almost a decade ago. It will handle moderate winds (15-20mph) with just stakes holding the feet down. For windier conditions I guy out from the top of the pole. I did buy the wall & door...

    Adding Topo and Trail Maps to Double Din GPS Deck?

    From my experience with my AVIC 8200NEX Apple really throttles down/limits the full interplay/integration from i-Device to the head unit. For instance: MotionX GPS can not be utilized for input from the Pioneer. The best that can happen: Mirroring from the i-Device that just allows the...

    Adding a pull out table under a fridge slide or drop slide

    Looks nice! Question: How much vertical deflection (and/or how much weight will the table hold without drooping) on the table at full extension using the flat drawer sliders?

    Oliver Travel trailers

    Thanks! Also, do you know if Oliver, as one of their many options/customization, apply a Rhino/Line-X type surface treatment to the front of the trailer to better deal with stone deflection from the tow vehicle apart of gravel road travel?

    Oliver Travel trailers

    ^ This! FWIW the Timbren axle/suspension systems requires significant structural framework for mounting. You (@davidv), apart of the ordering process, might want to ask Escape about this and whether or not it could be one of the custom pieces they would facilitate. I find, especially in near...

    Ideas for compact sink/shower/hot water system

    Had a Webasto 2000 on my former Kimberley Kamper and it would keep the fabric tent Kamper comfy down to freezing unless: I was over ~5,000' and/or a significant wind was blowing. Both Webasto and Espar have their ways/options for dealing with diesel efficiency/lack of at altitudes above...
