Just don’t get caught out there in the flats if this next Atmospheric River really kicks our butt. Could be a gully washer out in the desert and at this point theres been plenty of warnings. Just picked up sand bags a little bit ago my self

^ yep I have three neighbors their old Yukon/Tahoes are being driven by the kids and have well past 230,000. All they do is change fluids, do brakes and toss stock sized rubber on every few yrs. Skip Toyota your budget doesn’t play in that game nor does it fit the parts cost to fix them.

your big Get a full sized Standard length SUV. Tahoe / Yukon, Expedition they make millions of them you can find one in your budget. parked side by side with a mid sized and they are basically wider and thats about it. Definitely superior regarding roll over given they are wider and definitely...

27yrs of Toyota SUVs this ^. Having said that the 4.7 in the 4runner is a great combo. However!! The 4.7 is still older design that doesn’t really put down power till 3000+ rpm. I liked it in my 07 Sequoia. Interesting little thing about the 07 Sequoia. Toyota turned up the wick on the 07 even...

Diesel is dead GM has a nice 2.7 also

I have family in Oregon they pay high taxes on stuff they use. In some cases more than we do here in CA. As for Oregon campgrounds they historically have had more and lower use than CA also. That is a big deal. However since COVID their usage is way up and they have struggled with keeping up...

I scratched the Mantis for several reasons, poor bunk space, low cost materials, super simple building method, super high cost. looked at the Winnebago Hike 1316 SB a few weeks ago. Hands down my top choice. Once the stupid RV market goes fully down the crapper I plan on picking up the Hike in...

You’ll hate it coming from a 1/2 ton with decent modern power. If your worried about reliability and just jumping to the most extreme reliability perception ie Tacoma to feel your reliability concerns addressed? Get a 5.3 Sierra and move on. Cost you less than the over priced HS kid Tacoma...

Your use plan as in park in one spot work in town then do weekend trips? Vs being mobile all the time not in any one area for more than a few days? The type of use plays into what setup works best. Trailers have pluses being able to park in a “trailer place” RV park- private side yard, private...

Three local families do 5 One is a standard Mercedes with a pop top. The other one is a extra long/tall Mercedes hard roof. The third is a Transit long/tall All three have AwD/4x4 etc. All three were custom builds. All three have rear flip down side cots over a full width bunk. The 5th in both...

All the boats with heat I have experience with all use diesel heat Espar. Which is pretty much the defacto standard in both US and Euro boats.

Maybe check with the county business registry and see if you can pull associated names. Then reach out to a local lawyer see if they can do a nasty letter requesting the deposit back for a small fee. We had to do something similar in Ann Arbor Mi with a real estate company running a pretty...

I wonder what the temps are near the heater? I don’t think 3d printing material does well in high heat applications. I would think Truma likely has some type of splitter that allows for flow adjustments given this seems like a typical challenge with any Truma setup

3500 is really difficult its just enough to get into heavier trailers but not enough to have a heavy small trailer. I was always looking for something that fell comfortably in that range never had much luck. Definitely an interesting space to build something if you can pull it off. Now my TV is...

Major bummer

Unfortunately our target area was in head line news during COVID as the hottest 2nd home market in the US. It’s definitely cooled off. A huge factor was free bank money buyers were crazy and hell its not their money its free bank money ??. The positives in our favor are no more short term...

To answer the truck question. It’s because thats what grandpa had when he passed away. The F150 was just sitting there low miles so let’s build a crazy camper for it??.

Have looked at that argument also. Especially since 2001 wife and I have had a on going joke. Just box that and mark it Cabin and toss it in the attic. We just did our lunch walk and we’re discussing our “cabin” buying strategy and window of opportunity it’s likely now thru end of 3rd Quarter...

Every airbnb we have done was with our two dogs and every place had a hot tub. We also have two kids. The only negative to airbnb is that our old haunts are getting banned. Meaning “residential zoned” are being made 30day minimum rentals. There are some places that are specifically open and...

Curt which I think is US designed and China made has a new trailer trailing swing arm setup being used by Ember RV. Its no doubt cheaper knock off version of the crazy trailing arm stuff the Australian/ Chinese trailers are running. Also Winnabago is using a new sorta combo / twist on torsion...
