I've got nothing to do with these, but this chap has done up a fairly detailed Youtube video tour of the camper: I eagerly await the 8' box version.

Perhaps in a Howling Moon, or Eezi-Awn ... but any of the Chinese tents that I've ever owned aren't made to take that kind of continuous use. The constant set-up and tear down would eventually do a number on zippers and straps. And bent aluminum tubing as your major source of "structure" just...

No shell for engineering reasons, or marketing reasons? Shells definitely seem to be a large part of this product demographic.

Interesting, but height seems far too high, perhaps even dangerous in a sudden high wind. It doesn’t look like much mechanical structure is holding that roof that far up in the air.

This is really ticking a lot of boxes, and seems to be redefining somewhat the pop-up camper ... made with modern materials and engineering, and capable of four season comfort in any geographical location. Two things I'd really like to see are a full size (8') version ... and even more so, a...

As the owner of a Partner 22", I'd have to say that a low-simmer isn't one of its strong suits. For a low simmer on one burner, I put a Lodge frying pan on first, and then the pot to be "simmered" goes into the frying pan. It acts as a diffuser without having to carry around a diffuser. For a...

Summer long campfire bans in B.C. seem to have become a permanent feature over the past few years, in that it's no longer "maybe" there'll be a campfire ban, but rather it's a given that there will definitely be a ban each and every summer. I use a Big Red with the fitted grill top ,and it...

Anytime you burn oxygen with carbon, you get carbon monoxide. So "yes" a candle is wax, and contains carbon, so will generate carbon monoxide through burning, although a single candle in a vented space isn't capable of creating an issue. Personally, I vent my roof-top tent whenever I'm sleeping...

In a roof-top tent, you'd be surprised how much heat a single Uco candle lamp puts out. Suspended safely and securely on a dedicated line, away from people, pets and the tent walls, the Uco beeswax candle will burn all night without smoke, and put off enough heat to heat the tent, and remove...

There's something about these that both past and present - just look so "right"!

I'm not enthused about overlanding truck campers that make a point in their marketing literature of highlighting that their chosen method of construction is to use wood and staples for the frame. I remain unconvinced that wood and staples are as secure in the long term as is a welded aluminium...

There are a few references here and there online pointing to the issue being related to the fact that a camper can be removed from the vehicle, and presumably sold in Mexico - with no record of the sale upon the return of the truck to the U.S. A motorhome, van, or licensed trailer can all be...

2WD Ford F-150 XL regular cab with an 8 foot box, the V-8 and the payload package can haul 3300 pounds no problem.

Unless I was pulling a 7000 pound trailer (which I'm not), or was at load capacity for my truck (which most pop-ups aren't) I find that using "Manual" is far more effective than using "Tow/Haul". I find "Tow/Haul" allows RPM to run higher than I like, whereas with "Manual" I can control speed...

Thanks for the link. That suit has nothing at all to do with coolers though, it's about Medowcraft apparently copying Yeti designs for mugs, tumblers, and drink holders. Medowcraft seems to have gone in their own direction with cooler design.

Where are you seeing that?

Teflon is terribly overrated for camping and roughing it, and can be totally unhealthy on multiple levels as noted above ... especially when removed from the fairly standard operating procedures of the typical home kitchen. Boiling water will remove stuck food from anything as long as you pour...

I was asking more as the question relates to vehicle dependent overlanding. Interesting aside though now that rafting has been brought up, some of the higher end outfitters servicing the Colorado will take your cooler over a week prior to the start of your trip, and will actually freeze three...

Ice box coolers that can hold ice for a week+, AND can hold enough food for two or three people for a week+ can get up around $500.00 (Yeti 110). Add to that the constant need for $5.00+ bags of ice, and suddenly an ice box cooler may not be the inexpensive alternate to a 12V fridge that it...

Does anybody actually need, or use an ice box cooler and depend on it holding ice for 14 days? For even 7 days for that matter? It would seem to me, based on reading O.J. and this forum, that most folks who undertake overland travel beyond 3 or 4 days use an Engel or ARB 12V fridge. I use a...
