    Need help: Which trailer works best for us?

    Taxa axle issues affected all the trailers!!’ Their supplier had multiple issues regarding parts that weren’t made to spec, etc. The overland model has a different axle and less issues but it also will not fit my garage.. Yes its ride height is higher making garage fit a no go for my case. I...

    Taxa is offering buyers $2000 rebate right now. Thats after you buy it. Meaning don’t let the dealer price your Rebate into their over priced price. Pre COvid loaded a Mantis was $34,000-$35,000. Then around 2021 the dealers went stupid and they were popping up in the $50’s??. The current AC...

    Any experience with Ember trailers?

    I think the axle and load ratings thing is largely driven by the Axle manufacturers. AND!!! The empty weight vs loaded weight with ride quality. My first hmmmmm moment was when geopro / Epro moved to a air ride suspension setup on their single axle 19ft toy hauler. If they had just a typical...

    Need help: Which trailer works best for us?

    My Aunt lives near Yosemite and has mentioned the park crowds definitely seem to be dropping off. My wife’s tech company just started rolling back into pre pandemic type stuff, travel, conference meetings etc. That company was one of early ones to send people to the home office. Office use is...

    Any experience with Ember trailers?

    Pre pandemic I was down to Opus 15 and Mantis. Pandemic NP crush I bagged the idea we took our tent on a trailer to private property a couple of times due to massive crowds where we wanted to go. Several local dads went full on COVID RV nutz. Couple are rolling custom built awd/4x4 vans with...

    Any experience with Ember trailers?

    I don’t think it matters what kind of trailer you go with. We used the super basic stock trailers to haul stock up logging roads because everything!!! I mean everything thats not welded on gets knocked loose. The best stock trailer everything thing was welded not a single screw or bolt and the...

    Any experience with Ember trailers?

    I think the van build business will ultimately lead to this idea in trailers. Modular components you buy your box, you pick your bathroom component big, small, hidden cabinet whatever, it literally just slides in and gets tacked down. Bunk, bed whatever selection gets tossed in, cabinets...

    Any experience with Ember trailers?

    Definitely with you on the rugged off grid RV must have a Ranch house or tiny home interior issue. I get the RV park house thing. But for the short stay get off the super highways, compact is preferable users. The house imitation furniture and ovens etc are just unwanted crap. Hell even the...

    Sort of. I’m convinced there are only a small number of hype buyers out there most are using money that isn’t theirs. RV sales has been in a tail spin for a while now. Taxa just sent a factory email $2000 Manufacturers rebate on Mantis and lower rebates on other trailers. They even say its to...

    Need help: Which trailer works best for us?

    I’m going to guess small high end RV business is like racing sailboats only profit with RV happens far sooner. By unit 6 you should be making money. In 2005 the new set of molds for my racing boat cost our owners group 1.5 million to get cut, faired and setup for new production. Thats just...

    What direction did you head when you outgrew your 4runner?

    I don’t really miss the drop rear window that much. But I will say this all wagon’s need a lift rear glass window at minimum. I do use that quite a bit. I never found driving around with the rear glass down all that great. Even my old ranger the rear sliding window. All of them get all sorts if...

    Spacekap Diablo Expedition Camper Build + F250 Tremor

    Definitely do foam panel / fiberglass glass. If you want wood toss a veneer over it. These caps are really cool. I got to see a heavily used one up close. For being a chopper gun spray built cap they are decently done. I was surprised how well the heavily abused one had held up. ?.

    The use pattern in the US of “most” rvs is parking lot living. Which means your space is basically whatever space is inside your RV. The typical RV spot today has grown meaning if you show up with a 19ft RV, your not “using” the full potential of your paid for parking spot. The US RV size and...

    Need help: Which trailer works best for us?

    Yup The old dudes dragging their dirt bikes behind crappy old pickup trucks with tin work caps on the bed for sleeping, junky utility trailers they’ve dragged up old wagon trails. Typically wear tighty whities and know when the trailer is a no go and needs to be unloaded, winched and hand...
