Off shore level boat its definitely rated for that. I bet you think a charter production hull is more of shore capable than a hull built for single owner use and fully proven in off shore racing and trans ocean trips? I race big ocean events and the “Owner” hulls by Elan are definitely...

$140,000 I can buy this boat and…. Same one they sell new today. Cruise Croatia for 2-3 seasons and sail it back to the west coast for $140,000. The duel carbon wheels cost more to replace than 1/2 the materials cost to build those trailers.

Yep using the Mantis size as a template I can see it being possible in 19ft and 7ish ft wide. With corner bed if your two up being able to slide bed section over for twins and middle pass thru would be ideal. The soft sided pop up stuff could easily be designed with a hard sided pop/fold up. Or...

If I were solo… This would still not be of much interest. Everything is outside except horizontal sleeping inside. I’d get a midsized truck with a very basic cap/pop up. Which could carry gear, be stood in, etc. Even my wife and I before kids Triathon trips and sailboat racing the midsized...

Definitely not. I’m watching Yacht prices in Croatia replacement of my 1986 sailboat with a 2021 larger by 4ft and super modern has me currently in the $130,000 range shipped to the west coast… A box on wheels for $120,000 with no engine and no 44ft mast, no carbon helm wheels etc yeah...

Arktos camper looks interesting I could easily rig a bunk bed for two kids on the bench. The problem I run into is ideal gear stowage preferably inside enclosed space. Taking me back to anything with a rear hatch or door. Many of the dads I know who bought the typical small bunk house have all...

Looked at it. Too small for family with two kids. Money vs out growing it doesn’t work. Bunk options could have been better thought out.

My negatives on the Opus? Made in China assembled in California (where I live). Heavy though not a TV issue for me at 9200lb capability. Its too tall for the garage so the short popup aspect mehh just unnecessary cost and weather weakness vs hard wall. Break or bend something on the suspension...

The soft sided stuff. I have a tent on a trailer has been an issue for me on our big trips so having hard sides or ability to use in hard side mode is important to my need. High winds in Utah were a definite issue with any soft sided stuff. Bear restrictions on soft sided campers was also a...

Is there a reason Taxa Mantis isnt on your list? Its the only one out of your listed that was specifically designed for your type of use. The negatives? Price was spun way up vs pre pandemic 32/34k loaded. Todays spiked prices at 32/34k it would be an acceptable option. Negatives for me two...

Bags started being a thing in 2000 ish. Ocean racing yachts started experimenting with them. Today they are actually banned ie not accepted as a water storage device for required water by many race organizations. The sailboat I raced was a veteran of long ocean races we had all hard tanks. But...

Avoid bags they definitely don’t handle road vibration vs chafing like a hard container. if you don’t need it very often? Just a hard can mounted on the roof rack of the car would be fine. If your OB was/is anything like mine you avoid adding weight behind the rear tires especially for ground...

There is a company that makes a 4x6 thats 2000lb rated that has a heavy tent like a jumping jack, but you roll it forward out of the way and are left with the trailer floor open for gear. I have the original Life Time tent trailer which is a mini Jumping Jack basically only two Queen beds vs...

They definitely got too pricey for just a tin can on wheels

There’s a tesla swapped SXS thats just stupid fast. Makes the standard gasser look like a model T

Already done by multiple Auto Makers. What makes you think Red States who claim to be anti GOV meddling in Business will force old Auto Makers out of business in their states? The states that have fought Tesla and others are basically a non factor in the Auto sales business anyway. Those people...

I like diesel power but can’t have one in my current use pattern. Plus as mentioned other challenges with the 1500 sized rigs like payload impacts and the fact that in mixed use the hybrid matches or beats the diesel, with 30amps of on board power is a huge advantage also. I were buying full...

Definitely way better than a Subaru which was my only option for 4dr compact/efficient some what rugged back in 2000.. Definitely a much need vehicle in today’s market. Would totally get one. Even FWD / hybrid for my daily property maintenance stuff and local kid hauling etc.

There are many versions of the 2L “many” The newer ones are pretty solid. All of them pretty much demand good OCI or they’re junk fast. But that goes for all the modern engines. They all need careful oil change intervals. If your bad at keeping the oci solid stick to ancient V8’s that will run...

That and the hefty transaction fee which you can avoid with the friends and family side
