    New Manufacturer: Cave Campers - 750 lbs, $<10k, high quality

    No, it's nothing of the sort like that. Maggiolina sell their own product to the public under their own name, the company doing the manufacturing for Cave Campers doesn't sell to the public, talk to the public, or have anything to do with the public. They manufacture camper shells wholesale...

    New Manufacturer: Cave Campers - 750 lbs, $<10k, high quality

    Too obvious of an agenda for my taste. When one camper company starts repeatedly badmouthing another camper company ... I leave.

    New Manufacturer: Cave Campers - 750 lbs, $<10k, high quality

    I thought his explanation was pretty clear. Cave Campers don't seem to be claiming to physically manufacture anything. They contract the physical labour out to suppliers. I doubt Tim Cook has ever completely assembled an iPhone, but ...

    Modular Otterbox ice chest claims 14 day ice

    I suspect that the handles are designed such as to not reduce the wall thickness of the ends of the cooler, unlike most other brands that utilize some derivative of scooping out the ends to minimize the handles profile. Scooping out the sides reduces thickness, thus insulation. But it takes...

    Modular Otterbox ice chest claims 14 day ice

    It's hard to tell in a photograph ... but the walls (and presumably the lid) of the Otter Box seem somewhat thicker than those seen on the premium competition. I agree that Otter Box tends to dominate whatever field of design they enter ... so it will be interesting to get some real-world...

    Can We Use A.C or Fan in The Jungle Safari Tents?

    15,000 BTU air conditioner in a Jungle Safari Tent is the minimum acceptable cooling system. BTW ... what do you propose to use to power this air conditioner you're going to put into all your Jungle Tents now that we've identified AC as a "must" in a "Jungle Tent"?

    AT Habitat coming to the F-150?

    That's an incredibly good looking Habitat as displayed on a full size pick-up! Do you have any more pictures of Habitat's on full sized pick-ups that you could post for our viewing pleasure?

    "New" RTIC Coolers

    Folks only seem insecure when they ramble on about this stuff. If you want a YETI, get a YETI. If you want a RTIC, get a RITC. Nobody really cares what choice a guy makes....nobody.

    Percolator coffee pot

    Exactly! I mean real "camp coffee" (grounds simply tossed into kettle over fire) has at least 1/8" of grounds in every cup! If you're drinking real camp coffee, that last sip is always followed by a scrunched up face, and a quick spit into the forest at the edge of the campsite!

    AT Habitat coming to the F-150?

    I'll re-send my contact info ... I use my first name online, but use my middle name in real life.

    AT Habitat coming to the F-150?

    Thanks for the additional details Martyn. It's always easier to "wish" for something than it is to actually be the guy who is being asked to deliver it :)

    AT Habitat coming to the F-150?

    I've contacted you indeed. I want to replace my roof-top tent with something more substantial. It's depressing to read that you folks consider 9% to be so low as to consider it a non-starter (I can read between your lines). That's "OK" though, as I noted in my post ... there are other 8'...

    AT Habitat coming to the F-150?

    8' box F-150 version of the Habitat please ... if one was available today, I suspect the line-up to purchase would be long (I'd be in it). There is a shortage of half ton 8' box overlanding packages right now, but I see many concepts coming down the pike currently, and suspect that whoever gets...

    Dosko Capmate Chuck Box Video Review

    certainly doesn't read like spam to me. you gotta' link to somewhere to watch a video ... in this case a link to Youtube, where 99% of the worlds videos live. i don't get how this is spam in any way, shape, or form. there's 100 Youtube links posted to the Portal every week ... what makes this...

    EarthCruiser GZL 400

    What is the "extension" actually comprised of were one to put this in a 8' F-150 box? Also, your photo in this thread appears to be the only photograph in existence of this particular model ... do you have more information, details, pictures, specifications, etc?

    RTT Electric Fan Vent?

    I'd do a check that the roof-top Fan-Tastic fan functions properly, and remains waterproof when it's running at a 55 degree angle. I may be mistaken, but they appear to be engineered to run in the horizontal position, as on a typical RV's flat roof. The Alu-Cab top (for example) is far from...

    RTT Electric Fan Vent?

    The Fan-Tastic Endless Breeze fan linked to above is the best fan I've ever used in a roof top tent. It's got the ceiling mount Fan-Tastic fan quality, but in a freestanding unit you can move around. I suspend it inside the roof-top tent, blowing out a screen window. It moves a TON of air, and...

    New Manufacturer: Cave Campers - 750 lbs, $<10k, high quality

    I may be mistaken ... but I think things like showers, multi-way fridges, queen size mattresses, furnaces, and some sort of full dinette seating are exactly what this camper ISN'T about.

    New Alucab Camper?

    I just stumbled onto this site, it's not the English version of the Alu Cab site, and didn't show up in a normal search for "Alu Cab Camper".
