    I have a small travel trailer and a utility trailer that it tows without seeming to affect it in any way - but that's only around 2500 lbs max that I've towed with it. I'm sure it would handle well over 4000 lbs without any effects. The roof rack is noisy between 60-70 mph, I will eventually...

    Quality Propane Tanks for Overlanding?

    Yeah the exchange services used to give you 16 lbs in a 20 lb tank, guess they decided to short change their customers even more. I usually go to one of the local RV service centers to get my tank refilled. The local Ace Hardware and Tractor Supply also do refills. It's not that hard to find a...

    This aerodynamic beast will easily get over 24 mpg at 65 mph on the interstates. I was so looking forward to a D300 Defender 110 but LRNA decided not to bring them in because they didn't think there would be a big enough demand for diesels here.

    I get around 14-16 mpg in city driving and 17-19 mpg on the highway with my P300. Its not great but its not horrible either - better than my old LR3 and I feel the power of the four cylinder is just fine. The differential gearing is lower in the four cylinder than the six cylinder Defenders...

    New Defender News

    The new Land Rovers were well represented on our trail ride last weekend in the North Georgia mountains. The Discovery 5 is a TDV6 in Namibia Orange - really neat vehicle. The three 110's are all P300 four cylinder petrol versions.

    All three are getting the winch kit - mine is sitting on the floor of my shop until I have a couple of full days to the install it. I think Bryan is in the same boat. Allen just paid the dealer to install his. The major difference between the three cars is interior colors.

    Our local land Rover club met last night for the first time in over a year and it seems that several of the club members have all been busy getting new wheels in their driveways. Three individuals - all chose white 110's with the P300 four cylinder engine.

    Tired of all the "crap" RTT's. So I made my own. - TERRAPOD!

    I was glamping this past weekend with the travel trailer but lots of people asked about the roof tent so I set it up for the tour of trailers day where everybody checks out your modifications. It was very popular since most of the folks had never seen one up close.

    tent camping weekend to 1 week camping suggestions and ideas affordable please

    Get a camping rug from an RV store or Walmart, they are thick enough to protect a tent floor and feel.good under your feet. They come in a variety of sizes and are fairly inexpensive.

    Tired of all the "crap" RTT's. So I made my own. - TERRAPOD!

    Just spent some time this afternoon adjusting the mounts I installed in the rain, building an auxiliary ladder track (due to how I elected to mount the tent slightly inboard of the roof rack side rail to protect it and getting a look at the vast amount of empty real estate that is still exposed...

    low/er budget camp stove review

    Well there is a candidate but it doesn't meet your cost requirements,,, its only a little over ten times your budget at $250. I bought my sixteen inch PS stove about ten years ago when they were merely expensive - haven't regretted it once. The good thing about the Partner Steel stoves is that...
