    Newbie: Suggestions for well-built off-grid campers with a sitting/table area + temperature control? (under $25k)

    I'd also second the idea of a modified Casita they have several floor plans Or an Escape 17A or 17B with frame and suspension upgrades. You could possibly find a used Casita or even a Scamp and mod it some. Unfortunately the market is a seller's one at this time, and in five years of looking...

    Newbie: Suggestions for well-built off-grid campers with a sitting/table area + temperature control? (under $25k)

    TetonX Hybrid maybe? There is a few guys with them here that could chime in. Not sure on price point. Mission Overland but would be well past 25k if I'm not mistaken. Trail Marker "up and out" or even the standard to keep it smaller. Queen bed on a lift. Can have table under, bed lifted up...

    What do you use for a truck gun?

    Is it the camera angles or do you have monster hands?

    Want to switch to an oversized wool blanket for my pop-up camper. Suggestions?

    Thanks to Covid delays we probably won't see our wool blankets until March. I'll have to squeeze in a few spring camps without the hot tent and try one out. https://www.macauslandswoollenmills.com/

    How to ID F150 max payload package?

    Wanabxtrm indeed has a rarity for sale. Even has the useful tailgate step. And camel interior!

    Looking For a New 1/2Ton

    Spoiled society when a 325 HP and what like 350 torque?? Engine in a 5500# truck is the "grocery getter". Honestly I sound more and more like an old man every day when I say, remember in the early 2000s when your large V8 3/4 ton could tow 10000lbs with a maybe 300 HP engine? And now a base...

    What a depressing read.

    How to ID F150 max payload package?

    And probably only seven staples, ten screws, and eight tubes of caulking holding that trailer together.

    Bronco Sport

    I'd rather they have made the current Escape look like Bronco Sport, and left it at that. Reminds me of the 2008-12 Escape lookwise.

    F150 with the Heavy Duty Payload Package?

    I don't know how bad the 3.5 are on fuel when loaded, by my associate bought a 2.7 EBF150 SCAB for fuel economy despite me telling him not to buy a half ton, and it's 16-17 l/100km average with about 1500# in the truck. That's a couple ladders, sloped aluminum contractor grade cap, tools and a...

    Overland Truck Build?

    HDPP f150 uses a 9.75 Stirling rather than the 8.8 super. Although other configs give u the 9.75 as well but depends. I think is 34 spline semi float?

    New Bronco

    In typical ford fashion they have names that are too similar. You have no idea how often people think I have a Transit Connect when I drive a Transit 250. And how many laypeople don't understand they are two entirely different vehicles. And here we are with a BOF Bronco with RWD based 4x4 with...

    Overland Truck Build?

    Just tried on the builder, apparently not I guess previous gen it was an option but no more. Reg cab 8' is shortest option. Supercab 6.75" has 3" longer wheelbase than F150 Supercab 6.5' box so other than turning radius difference due to solid axle etc and a taller rise height, should be useable

    Overland Truck Build?

    I second a 6.2 F250 and with the 4.30 rear ratio. I own a 12th gen F150 and just my topper, tires, skids, etc eat up 300# of payload (remember the garbage P rated tires that weigh 31# are included in the curb weight, throw on 55# tires that's near 100# gone) Reg cab Short box trucks are...

    Looking For a New 1/2Ton

    The half ton market depending on your trim of choice, is neck in neck Knowing your payload concerns you are stuck with 3.5 EB or 5.0 with the highest payload packages. MAYBE a 2.7 PP in the right configuration. I'm not interested in higher trims so the F150 has offered the best a la carte...

    Can I get some advice on what to look for? Camper for 2 people and a dog

    17' chassis Casitas, or Scamps if you can handle the old style interiors. 17B Escape has some more modern interior options ie not carpeted ceiling. You get tiny wet bath, room to sleep and stand up, eat etc, still reasonable length and width. That's generally a 13' interior and 17' OAL.

    Toyo Open Country AT3 Snow/Ice Performance

    Just think of it as providing a public service. Especially considering how wildly tire actual diameter varies between brands and published size.

    What do you use for a truck gun?

    The "Sig brace" That opens up a ton of short and handy pistol carbines if you don't have restrictions.

    Birthday gun for myself.

    Alright so the issue is the cartridge length. Almost all .38 are shorter than the minimum length listed in the manual, which I don't have infront of me. Cycling .357 seems to be pretty reliable. .38 is failure to extract and double feeds etc. The shorter case length causes it to pop out of place...
