I own a boat and I went out far far more when I was just crewing on others boats. Lol RVs are nothing like a boat especially trailers. My last trailer rental. We drove 9 hours without dragging a trailer. Picked it up took 25 minutes. Hit the road for 50 miles and set up camp for 2 days. Then...

When my silly 22’s wear out I’m probably going to find a set of 18’s from the XLT and put normal truck tires on it. Though I will say these 22’s the tires are pretty decent just wrong for any off pavement use. The expedition does have active suspension but its not like typical 4x4 stuff where...

The expedition max is 20inches longer than the “Expedition” just like the Yukon vs the Yukon XL both are massively long super tankers they are not off road rigs beyond graded maintained roads. Tight parking lots? Lol good luck The standard length rigs are much easier to live with every day...

My choices for remote US National Park trips were Domestics and Toyota for the dealer network. Break down in Moab all three GM, Ford Toyota can get fixed. You won’t be sleeping in the back of a LC!! Too short and cramped been there done that and one of the reasons I switched to a Sequoia...

8 yrs in the LC - 7 yrs in the Sequoia and I simply could not go Toyota again. I have 700 miles on the Expedition now. Most of it lousy short trips carting kids around and I have a solid 18mpg tank. The Sequoia was 14-15mpg in this use pattern the LC was 12mpg. Friend has a 2017 LC and hes...

Lol funny I had a LC then switched to a 06 Sequoia for more room and better mileage/ range and better highway ability. And just bought a 2019 Expedition standard length. I have a platinum all the silly special named packages are just a Limited trim with silly stuff like black trim or Texas crap...

My neighbor went heavy package 8ft bed on the F150 for his FWC. His whole deal was both cost and mileage. I just talked to him this morning back from a 2400 mile trip yesterday. 18-21mpg trip average. His truck was last of the pre 10spds he said another buddy same setup only 10spd was posting...

My 06 Sequoia replacement 2019 Heavy tow package, 3.75 rear end, two spd transfer case, E locker rear end. 2nd row bench no captains chairs BS!! I’ll run the crazy huge 22’s till they wear out then maybe pick up some stock Ford 18’s for better tire options. The Platinum gets the wick turned...

Yeah don’t hook to the pin. Use a proper hitch attachment and strap. If you damage a hitch bracket which is typically through bolted in multiple places to both frame rails, chances are you probably have bigger problems than the tweaked hitch. Most damage on both ends happens with pulls that...

This tow company in Utah has a off road recovery service they use XJs and his approach is always snatch strap via pintle hitch. He beats the crap out of the XJ. The hitch seems fine

On our boat we have a 80watt solar panel and small two battery solar charger unit. That would bring your two batteries back up at a nice rate before going big on the Alternator

I’ve found that wood in cars ie passenger space is not good. Even way back in the day Auto makers found that wood trim needed an aluminum backing to help reduce serious passenger injury from splintered wood trim in accidents.

So you go pull the RV out of storage, clean it load it up, hook it up drag it somewhere for a night or two? VRBO we do that all the time especially for weekend trips, but occasionally we want to be in a Park and are on 9-12 day trips multiple locations which case rent a trailer or take our own.

Weekend? Who uses a RV for a weekend? I sure as heck don’t

Yeah go this route. Mine was similar cut the cig plug off used a RC car batteryplug

We do 2-3 trips a yr. Our trailer is a 4x6 utility trailer with tent that sits on it. The trailer typically makes 10-12 trips a yr in utility mode and 2-3 trips a yr in RV mode. It sat in my garage for yrs, now in the side yard. Fast rental mode. We toss our gear in the back of the Expedition...

Pull the fridge its a fire source the older ones have had fires start behind the fridge. Can’t recall if it was a faulty fridge part or heat and debris from the outside vent. But its common enough it should be a checked item every few yrs

I have a 12v usb puck I cut the cig plug off and wired it using a RC car battery plug. I just plug it into a lead I ran off our trailer battery.

Only time my kids did screen time during our 2900 mile 6 National Park trip was in transit. When camped they were busy doing camp stuff. Every night at bed time we read some sort of local thing about the area we were in. Only charging we did in camp were mom and dads phones.

Kid you not!! Rolling west on 80 about 12 miles east of Elko NV. Driver says uhh no throttle response, then Oh shhhh engine died were doing 75mph with a trailer... We coast about a mile before finding a shoulder we can safely get clear of traffic. Friend in back seat says “Siri - engine quit...
