JaFrench I’m curious about your feedback regarding if the Cricket has the space option to rig up kids bunks that are a little more stable and weight capable. My initial thought was as some light weight composit board as a bed frame attached to the top inside edge of the hard trailer side in the...

For the owners has the tongue weight been a problem in the 500lb max rated tow rigs? I’m curious about the double tip outs also. Though ideally a single tip out and a pop top like the Four Wheel Camper pop top for two bunks up high. This would support family of 4 bunking options. It would also...

Sailboat racing yr around trailering the trailering is the most damaging to the boats. Wide supportive bunks located under key hull structural points will prevent hull weight / bouncing and constant flex on the hull. Aluminum hulls do better than glass but both can suffer hull damage being...

Thats why I remove a tire on the trailer in camp. Better yet have a removable hitch.

When Subaru puts the Outback aka lifted Legacy wagon on the stiff global platform 2020 and plugs the DIT 2.4 into it. That will be an interesting rig. The current OB sits on a funny / odd interm platform that was super flexy 2010-14 due to wonky handling issues they added some stiffening to the...

Speaking from experience summer temps and pregnant wives do not go well together. I have two kids. And stopped there!

Any teen told if they crash / trash it a bus pass is all they get, treats their gifted ride like gold. Or they are walking and bussing it soon enough.

LoL tip. Send the wife to a spa with the girls and you go camping. Your marriage will last longer. After the kid arrives then take em camping close to home.

The mileage jump between the old 2000-2009 wedge body of the OB and the modern better cooling capacity 2010 and big mileage improvements of the 2010 and the space improvements makes the 10 a far better car. I have two 10’s a legacy and OB identical vehicles they’ve been flawless. Late 10’s -12’s...

As a side note larger capacity doesnt really sound like its needed. You just need the correct charging method to keep the batteries happy.

Ever smell a sled dog after rolling in fish meal? There is a reason sled rigs tend to go pickup with dog boxes.

Having leverage helps. State Farm yrs ago sent me a note they wouldn’t insure my sailboat any more after two claims in one year after 9 yrs of no claims. Of the claims was theft of gear and minor damage my boat was one of 4 hit in our secure club yard. The other claim was damage from unknown...

Billions have been spent on bad roads, bad intersections and new designs proven to reduce fatal accidents. If you think drug impaired vehicle operation has dropped? You must be smoking something ;-)

A friend spent a yr fighting with Toyota over a brand new suv went to court. He left with a court issued new Toyota of his choice. LOL. I bet Toyota has been lucrative for you.

Thinking the same as Tom ^ My sailboat sits on shore power 3 stage 24/7. Two Group 31’s deep cycle nothing overly special lead acid batts When my last charger failed the batteries were failing pretty quickly after. Shore power charger isn’t cutting it for some reason.

Auto makers gain lots of ability to redirect liability in lawsuits with the tech being used today. Smaller, more durable, better made tech will be the trend not less complicated. You can blame lawsuits for a large portion of todays complicated cars and the other part is emissions restrictions...

5 amp draw constantly? Whats your typical run time on the alternator? How often are you on shore power? And how long? Solar? To help cover day time load while parked off grid? Deep cycle marine grade is for sure better than the high amp short capacity starter battery design. Any other...

Looks like a Livintite tent trailer with added custom stuff.

Not bad
