    Building the AlumEscape

    Nice, very nice. I built a trailer with a similar suspension, it was to haul my jeep on, so much heavier load. The beauty of the airbags is the ability to adjust the pressure (spring rate, essentially) to the load. That trailer pulled silently no matter if it was loaded with 5000 lbs of...

    Jeep Renegade and its competitors

    yes well, I see this as an interesting potential. I am looking to replace my dodge Dakota quad cab as my daily driver because it just doesn't fit in Chicago. Too long, poor mpg. I have been considering the Subaru Crosstrek XV hybrid, and am now adding the Renegade (probably the TrailHawk...

    3 season tent or 0 degree bag

    I vote for a better bag (0 deg or lower), and a blue scratchy wool airforce blanket or 2. So if it's really cold, you're in the bag If it's not so cold, the bag makes a comfy 'feather bed', and the blanket(s) keeps you warm And a nice pad with either

    Post your Camp Awnings

    The more things change, the more they stay the same The car is 1953 (?)(dodge?) The year is 1959 Mom, Dad and 5 kids safely camping along the north shore of Lake Superior, MN, sleeping in the car! Dad eventually purchased a pop-up trailer, completely redid it, and we got more room. :)

    OBA

    I happened to be using this unit over the weekend and thought of this thread again. Couple of specs I thought I would mention, to compare apples to apples. 3/4 horsepower, 2 CFM, 100% duty cycle. Didn't snap a pic but it looks just like the puma compressor, could be rebadging maybe?

    Instead of Rear Tire Carrier

    2 things (my 2 cents I guess) -I've seen a discussion regarding this years ago on a rock crawling board. Those that don't carry a spare do carry extra tire repair supplies and tools. -Some organized events require a full size spare.

    OBA

    I liked the low rpm that the 110V units turn at versus the higher rpms the 12 Volt units spin at. Wound up fixing an inverter into the Jeep (handy for other things as well), and a Harbor Freight compressor by Central Pneumatics I believe the mfg was. This works well, I run 35" tires, and I...

    Pulled the trigger and joined the fridge/freezer club

    I've been looking into that unit as well. Mind if I ask where the good deal was, and how much?

    Camp Shower Showdown

    Yep, same here. I have a piece of a rubber mat with holes in it to stand on, doubles as a floor mat on the passenger side when not in use. Let me know how your bilge pump project goes when you get to it. I don't like relying on batteries, and tho the pressure of the 6V (4 - D's) is fine, I...

    wanted - collapsible wooden bench

    I saw a wooden bench at a friend's house but can't find one for sale (and he understandably won't part with his!) It would be great to add to my kit. Maybe someone has one and wants to sell, or can tell me where they got theirs. The entire unit is wood (teak, cedar, ?), the top removes and...

    Post your tents

    Finally had the chance Finally had the chance to setup and use my equipment together. I have an OZTENT RV3 and their screen room, but had never set them up as one 'camp' before. Granted this is just in my father's backyard, but none the less I had to learn what worked and what didn't. Much...
