    Rossmonster Havn

    Rossmonster introduces the Havn, a cutaway Sprinter. It's super similar to the Nomad Euphoria XL, but with a few key differences: - Different layout especially the rear dinette/bed conversion - 2 passenger seats But it is $10K more and: - 12V system instead of 48V for the Euphoria...

    Fan to mitigate dust

    Spent 2 hours eliminating all gaps in the tailgate with a seal kit, currently using a bed cover. No light goes through. With Utah dust, it‘s still terrible after offroading. Tons of fine dust getting in. Will have soon a pop up camper on the truck and I am looking at options because I don’t want...

    DIY truck bed plate

    I am looking at doing a plywood plate for my truck bed (F-150 short bed 67in L, 60in W). The issue is that I can’t find 6’x6’ plywood sheets. Am I supposed to buy 2 4x8 and join them together? This seems complicated with the limited tools and experience I have. This plate will be used for a...

    New truck build: RTT vs Wedge vs Pop-up camper?

    Recently acquired a F-150 Tremor 5.5ft bed to replace our Bronco + RTT setup (with pull out fridge/kitchen). Was super happy about this setup, except kid 1 is on the way and this will be too tight. We also did not like having to put the RTT on the roof each time we go camping. THIS IS OUR ONLY...

    Mid-size vs Full-size truck setup

    Can you help me choose? Use case: couple, 1st kid on the way, 2nd kid within 2-3Y max. Many 3-season weekends in the Southwest, as well as two or three 7-10 days trips per year. Decent offroad capability is a must (the goal is NOT to offroad, but to camp in remote places anywhere from AZ, to...

    Westfalia Wave

    https://expeditionportal.com/westfalia-returns-to-the-us-with-the-wave-camper/ Westfalia is back in the U.S. with the wave and a Euro design. I think it’s great, and the power offering is decent at 600ah if the price is right. Expedition Portal says “price to hover around $100K” which would be...

    New Tacoma vs Colorado vs Ranger

    Now that the 3 all new mid-size pickups have been announced, let’s talk. Tacoma: - Great look (subjective) - Reliability is not a big plus for Toyota anymore for me (tons of new tech, new hybrid engine, and the new Tundra got issues) - 2 distinctive trims: high speed desert running TRD Pro with...

    Cheapest off-road trailer for RTT?

    What's the cheapest retail trailer off-road capable that's basically a sealed box with a rack to accommodate a RTT? Cheapest I found was Four Leaf Clover but people on this forum have been having lots of issues with the owner so looking for an alternative.

    Best Bronco for overlanding

    Looking for the overlanding community point of view on this. I have a reservation for a Bronco (from day one) and I’ll have to convert the order soon. I am hesitating between going for the Big Bend (think of it as the Wrangler Sport S) and replace the 32 tires with 33s with the rear locker...

    Zone RV Expedition trailer

    I have not found much info on this but it looks great and unlike anything we have in the US today. I would say the TetonX hybrid is close but not nearly as refined, with less features. A well specced Hybrid comes at 30-35K (edit: more than that apparently) and this comes at 51K AUD (34K USD)...
