Due to the fact that we travel alone more often than not, and that the achilles heel of our type of vehicle is mud/slippery conditions, we have a permanent rear winch. And we have used it. It weighs more than Thor's hammer so it's not like anything suitable for our weights would be human-...

Agree completely When we upgraded from our SMB pop-up Econoline the ONE thing we were adamant about is having a bed that's setup all the time and not something you have to take down/setup everyday. For just the reasons you note above and the fact that we are often away from our vehicle all day...

Yeah, I'm certainly NOT a Victron expert. I have - out of necessity - gotten pretty good at programming and troubleshooting Mastervolt equipment and I have nothing that requires a signal to do ANYTHING. All of my programming - using the Mastervolt software- happens through the dedicated cheap...

I know at least a few people that simply plugged a 120v battery charger into their rig and connected it to their truck battery so its charging/floating while on shore power. They simply dedicated it into the system, hid it in a far away compartment and that was that. Most new battery chargers...

This is more the design style I’m interested in following.

True. I was really shocked by just the difference here in the lower 48 the impact it makes just on the shoulder seasons alone - much less full on winter. The technology I'm watching with great interest - even though it's unlikely I will live long enough to see it come to fruition - is the...

Yeah, aside from when the truck is parked here at the house we really don't camp anywhere with plugins/shorepower but I ONLY use the collar-locking shore power plug that is more stout - for the reasons you likely encountered. But I would MUCH prefer that smartplug configuration if doing it...

We believe the best training we had for our current vehicle (which sports ~380 aH of battery and 98 gal fresh water) was having our SMB van for 12+ years with like 11 gallons of water and 100ah battery. Your early AGM experience will serve you well. I have done a host of electrical upgrades...

Negative and Inaccurate are not mutually exclusive perspectives.

Well, yeah…I mean who could fathom people that actually own custom built vehicles on various platforms might have an informed opinion. Clearly that’s beyond the pale. <eyeroll>

It's a pretty truck (mobile ads). I hope you find a buyer. (mobile ads) The community here (mobile ads) is dying (mobile ads), the number of posts (mobile ads) is going way down (mobile ads) and I can't figure out (mobile ads) why (mobile ads) Good Luck with your sale (mobile ads)

Would suit me fine if people sold all of them and went back to the city.....jess sayin'

As seen on social media….

Like I've said many times, it comes down to what you are wanting to do. While its not the 'purpose' of our rig, there are plenty of people who truly only really want to travel. Or to say it another way, they want to drive around (aka Overland). Which is totally fine but isn't our thing...

You see this with virtually everything anymore. At least anything outside. Hunting, Fishing, Overlanding....you name it. Lot's of causes for it I'm sure. In hunting I lay it at the feet of social media and the supposed "non-profits". But that's a different discussion. I contend it's one of...

I'm sure there's plenty of under-used big rigs out there, but I can say that in our case - miles driven doesn't equate to adventures taken and nights spent....

Until they discover a design choice that involves helium, or other anti-gravity capability, I’ll remain skeptical.

Ah, that explains it. Sigh. Sounds like I’ll have an adventure when I need to find 4 new G278s I took a giant chunk out of one of my treads while traveling a super rocky/uneven trail that I’m a little suspicious of right now.
