    Campfire in a Box

    It was time to swap out for new tires and I decided to try Cooper S/T MAXX (305/70R18 instead of my former go-to size of 285/75R18). I wanted a little more void, bigger lugs for less chunking (in theory anyway), better compliancy (hopefully not at the expense of carcass toughness because Toyo's...

    pot and pans

    Using the Magma ceramic non-stick coating nesting pan set here without issue. But I don't use anything abrasive in the pan...same here for stainless though. Wood and silicone get it done. Before pulling trigger I went back/forth on SS or ceramic non-stick and low water use clean up was the...

    Cricket Camper Trailers

    Ditto! The Horizon left me wanting...the Kimberely Kamper left me wanting...and the Karavan is close but at 2 tons and north it would be a challenge for some of the places I go and ideally want something mechanically simpler... I have been tempted, if not for starting another business that...

    Birth of My Kimberley Karavan

    Another vote for dealing with Kimberley & Bruce. The product is the culmination of years of product development and refinement. And since Bruce bought KK a number of years ago they've been on an aggressive R&D path...all good. You won't regret buying a KK...especially as Brad mentioned...

    2015 Sprinter 4x4 build begins

    I read somewhere, sorry can't find it now, the high top Sprinter's width was too narrow (relative to useful bed width for 2)? Quite possibly, as you state GR8ADV, the resulting COG might be an issue.
