    Agree 100% and here in San Diego, we have to spend A LOT of time on the freeways to get to anything cool. Moab is a 14 hour drive for us, so yeah... :)

    The super singles have their advantages for sure! For ME, and MY use, i think dually would be a better option. Only downside i see for ME and MY usage, is the loss of the amazing turning radius the Super Singles offer. The other downsides, i would gladly give up for a nice quiet ride.

    I am the original owner / builder of this. The flatbed is just high enough to position the bed area over the cab of the truck with enough clearance for the funky GPS/Sat Radio whale antenna thing. The camper actually sits lower than most, designed this way on purpose. Its an optical illusion...

    I wont speak for @StenchRV but i did see and check out his table mount and it was considerably more stable than the Lagun and i plan on redoing my interior with the same mount

    So here are the 2 different styles of valves On left is the electric ball valve style and on the right is the solenoid style i tried first and it was a fail. It developed a small but consistent leak about midway into the trip. This is on me, i didnt do enough research into how they worked...

    After these horrible noise makers wear out, i will likely being going back to Dually There are AMPLE horror stories of the Goodyears being out of round from new, and Buckstop literally warns of this on their website. There is no chance in hell i am going to take a chance at close to $1k a tire.

    Thank You Sir! That is exactly my reasoning for the updates. To help the next guy or gal with honest real world use and feedback to help them make better, more informed decisions and save them money and time. I find that's a HUGE issue here, and in the community as a whole, folks are either...

    Sooooo Just got back from trip living in the rig for 3 weeks with wifey, here is my two cents of what worked, and what didnt, and what needs adjusting: First off, HUGE thanks to Transwest in Brighton Colorado. FINALLY, after 3 years, got a real 2 axle, 4 wheel alignment, and the difference is...

    I had the honor and the privilege to meet with @StenchRV aka Craig and Angie recently, and check out the rig in person. Holy hell! The photos dont even remotely do it justice, whatsoever! HANDS DOWN, THE (not one of, THE) best DIY camper and layout i have ever seen, and i have seen a TON...

    Looking great! All your issues seems about on par with my experience with TC. Odd choice of door placement, now only option is removable stairs that need to be stowed. For my old lazy ass, that got really old really quick. I have no feedback on the Subframe hardware, that is quite bizarre...

    Its simple, some people crave and desperately need attention and social media likes. Hence, half the reason Overland Expo exists :D

    Big custom camper sightings

    Probably an "out of round" issue with the goodyears Lots of reports of them being hit or miss and many coming brand new out of round and unable to balance, even Buckstop themselves have mentioned this, and they sell them.
