    ACELA 6X6 WITH SLRV EXPEDITION BOX NEW BUILD

    I think he was using the typical cassette as a comparison to the comment that his Black Water tank was smallish. Meaning, he was saying that a cassette is even smaller so they are happy with the tradeoff of a larger Black water tank so-to-speak. Maybe I'm wrong.

    ACELA 6X6 WITH SLRV EXPEDITION BOX NEW BUILD

    Right, I think what you will find is that perhaps unlike your experiences abroad, the US offers a wider range of climates at much closer distances. As a result, we try not to visit the desert in the summertime and if we find ourselves in a consistently inhospitable hot environment, we make...

    Switching from Ford E-Series to FC/cabover (like Sportsmobile to Earthcruiser 4x4)?

    ^^^^ Those were the kinds of calculations that led us to a cab over. It helped to sit my F250 next to a marked up section in our shop. the major downside was in height, the least critical, and most important dimension for our travel. easy decision for us

    Winnebago EKKO

    OK that makes sense, Thanks. So your dually has spent more/most time on gravel roads, which for the record ours has too. The "offroad" capability of our truck is a sort-of 'last mile' utility that allows us to press on over rough, rocky or extremely uneven terrain to cover the last bit and...

    Winnebago EKKO

    I am curious as to what offroading you have done with your dually. That term means different things to different people and I would be interested in how you define it (or rather use it) in that case.

    Pass-through really necessary?

    This thread is really just another example of how diverse the users and use cases for these vehicles really are. We would hard pass any vehicle that DIDN'T have a pass-thru and there's just as many people that wouldn't consider having one. If you are building one of these (or having one...

    Big custom camper sightings

    We saw an earthroamer just this weekend in central Idaho. We had two GXV trucks so they might have thought we were trying to gang up on them. Lol. It’s was cool looking.

    Thoughts on the Truckhouse Tacoma expedition camper...

    I can’t wrap my head around the size. Does anyone have interior dimensions? It looks like a hobbit house on wheels.

    Pass-through really necessary?

    We would never have one without for the reasons stated previously. I never noticed the reflection but you’re right, it looks funny. it IS water btw. We were camped right next to a reservoir.

    Kenworth K270/K370 and Peterbilt Model 200 4x4 Conversion and Misc Questions

    By far, the sound deadening and insulation cab project was the single most impactful project I’ve done to the Kenworth. It was a decent sound project but truly a game changer in the insulation dept.

    Switching from Ford E-Series to FC/cabover (like Sportsmobile to Earthcruiser 4x4)?
