    Eezi-Awn T-Top vs Hannibal Jumbo Tourer

    I just noticed today when comparing tents that the Hannibal Tourer tent (which is comparable to the EA T-Top with extended fly and lower room) has the ability for the outer wall of the lower room can be unzipped from side walls and raised up like an awning which is a really handy feature (see...

    Breakthrough Expo Kitchen product

    Thule just came out with a modular system for RV's that represents what I've had kicking around in my head to make next year after I return from overseas. I have a 10'x10' awning on the side of my 110, and an external rollcage, and I was going to rig up a counter with an integrated sink (or...

    Clothing color considerations for expo travel

    This thread was inspired by the discussion of the currently offered OJ ExOfficio shirt thread that is offered in a brownish olive color. luangwablondes had mentioned that the color was an attractent to Tsetse flies on the African continent. This made me think that there may be more...

    A heritage resume of accomplishments

    I hereby start this thread as a collection of my beloved marque, the "Muddy Oval". Over the years, we have all come across this story and that, where someone made history, big or small, in a Land Rover. Tonight, I read the story of the Darien Gap, which to this day, is considered the missing...

    Do all RTT's lack no-see-um mesh?

    Seems all the South African RTT's from what I can tell did not use no-see-um mesh in their doors and windows. I think it's odd that they would choose to not include that, given that no-see-um/sand fleas are found in wetlands worldwide. I'm going to be buying an eezi-awn soon, and have to face...

    Any good online sources for 10LB LP tank?

    I've googled for 2 hours and haven't come up with anything reasonable. A Manchester 10LB propane tank can be bought in places like Tractor Supply and Ace Hardware for around $60. Found a couple RV and rafting stores that are selling them for over $100 which is rediculous. Unfortunately, I'm...

    Eezi-Awn vs ARB III RTT advice needed

    The time is coming for a purchase decision between these two. From what I gather so far, comparing the Eezi-Awn T-Top 1400 versus the ARB Simpson III: both are about the same size owners of each praise them both seem to have good availability both seem to have good parts support the Eezi-Awn...

    Cheap Webasto/Espar coolant heaters for all

    I've started a thread based on research of what appears to be a not well tapped supply of readily available Webasto and Espar coolant heaters. I'm writing up my project and resource info on D-90.com. This is the expo winterizing holy grail made affordable. Instead of a $1500 install, I'm...

    Sankey trailer appeal

    I was just looking over some pics of a Sankey, and trying to figure out why Rover enthusiasts (like myself) find them so desireable over other kinds? Obviously they are a good off road utility trailer being ex MOD, but what is unique about them? I'm assuming it's one or several of the...

    Summertime in Baghdad

    Isn't it lovely? Took these this week when they blew in. They tend to last a day or two. When the entire sky turns orange, is when they are at their worst. Upside is it is dramatically cooler when the sun is blocked like this. I have had two people tell me this is like Burning Man, not that...

    Eezi-Awn 1600 on Defender?

    I'm trying to figure out if a model 1600 is too wide to fit opening to the rear of my 110? I have a hannibal roof rack, and the site says it's 55" wide. Paul at Equipt says the 1600 is 56-57" wide closed when mounted to open to the rear, so it sounds ok to me. His initial thoughts were it hangs...

    Defender in Kuwait

    I'll be leaving Kuwait soon on my way up north. When I left home, I thought I saw my last land rover for a while. Wrong! Nice little muddy oval treat for me on base parked at the Brit's HQ compound! Brit's call this a "snatch".

    Any reviews for the new ARB Fridge?

    I am getting ready to buy my first fridge/freezer. I had always planned on getting an Engle 45 until the new ARB 50 came out. Now I'm leaning towards that. The feature set sounds great, and I like that the redesign still has a steel outer shell, versus the plastic that Engle's gone to in their...

    My new safari door folding table

    When I started researching examples of these folding tables, there were so few to be had, that I thought I would share for posterity for others looking for ideas. Mine was made with the following items: 24"X12" 1/2" marine starboard lumber (purchase at West Marine and cut to 22" length)...

    Going to Iraq and need a good camera!

    I'm about to deploy, and don't really have time for extensive research like last time, and hoping some of you can help me focus on a few best in class choices for an outdoor oriented compact digital that I can take with me. My last camera, the Pentax Optio, did very well and survived the last...

    ExMoor Trim, the UK retailer for many Land Rover interior finishings, just picked up Melvill and Moon as a supplier of Rover seat Covers. http://www.exmoortrim.co.uk/#5256X0I have had my eye on them for quite some time, wishing they had a US supplier. Exmoor is also retailing their premier...
