    Censorship on Expedition Portal?

    Sounds like someone struck a nerve. I had seem the "Black Series Travel Trailers" thread often after clicking on "New Posts", but didn't pay any attention since I didn't know who or what they are.

    Roof Top Tents and wind

    My plan, is that if my rig starts swaying in the middle of the night and I hear banging, scratching, and chuffing...I will open a window and aim carefully with my bear spray...and spray the bear. If he comes back I might be forced to put a 12 gage in his nose and pull the trigger (I have no wish...

    HANNIBAL PRODUCTS AUSTRALIA (Read the fine print)

    Makes sense. I remember a time (20-odd years ago) when Sony was the cats' meow. These days...Sony is just another overpriced electronics device.

    HANNIBAL PRODUCTS AUSTRALIA (Read the fine print)

    I wonder if "Hannibal in South Africa" could chime in and tell us if the goods in the pictures are genuine, or counterfeit? Surely someone affiliated with them frequents this forum.

    Jeep Gladiator #2 with ALU CAB.

    I agree. Having a full-sized diesel with a larger Khaya would be just about perfect IMO. Especially a flatbed model with more access from outside.

    Bonehead question about starting batteries in old Ford van

    Do you fellows think a 4-amp NOCO charger would be sufficient for this setup...or should I spring for the 10-amp?

    Bonehead question about starting batteries in old Ford van

    I'll go with one start battery + maintainer then. I'm pretty sure that when I finally get around to the coach batteries I will give the dual 6V GC battery setup a try (that you mentioned in a different thread). I have all the space I need for them in the van and can afford the weight too. With...

    Bonehead question about starting batteries in old Ford van

    Well, I'm not sure that there is anything to be gained from dual starting batteries and thought it best to ask. The fact that there are two factory battery locations got me to thinking about it. If I do not install two batteries, then I can put the noco in the 2nd factory battery location. But...

    Bonehead question about starting batteries in old Ford van

    Yo! I've been sidetracked. The group 64 battery died in my 1987 Ford van and I can get a replacement at a prorated price. My question is, should I install two and wire them in parallel? There are mounting spots for two batteries under the hood, but ye old Ford manual says that the second...

    Moby1 Going Out Of Business? Has Anyone Received A Deposit Return?

    Has a single member of Vorsheers' management team ever been employeed at Moby1? And, does any member of the original company (Moby1) receive a single dollar of compensation from Vorsheer? If the answer to either question is yes....then it's organized crime.

    Jeep Gladiator #2 with ALU CAB.

    I'm thinking about picking up a Gladiator...but it will depend on what type of gear is available. Please post some detailed pics of the AluCab setup! I'm dying to know more about it. Thanks.

    Garmin Overlander

    It looks like it will PAIR with a Delorme...but you still have to purchase one separately. Way too much money. If it had the Inreach functionality built-in (meaning the hardware)...then maybe not too expensive. I don't know about everything else, but I'm done with purchasing TOPO maps. I have...

    Roof Top Tents and wind

    Lol, yeah. The bear might get me anyway...but I like to think that I will hear him coming when I'm on the roof. The point is that I don't worry about it when sleeping on the roof. When sleeping in my trailer-height RTT I do worry about it. It is a matter of debate in my area if we actually have...

    Outback as backroad camp vehicle?

    That's cool. Last time I looked they didn't make a kit for this gen of Outback.

    Outback as backroad camp vehicle?

    Make sure to post up some pics of that Front Runner rack once you have it installed! I think it sucks that Subaru is doing away with the 3.6. I have a feeling that our 3.6 will be the last Subaru that we buy (new...anyway).

    Sewing Thread....A discussion on making your own adventure textile gear.

    I really want a heavy-duty sewing machine with a deep throat. Have for decades....but still haven't actually purchased one. I deal with a local boot-maker (cobbler?). He has always helped me out, and he is cheap. Unfortunately he is also busy, so the wait time is something that I need to...

    Lithium Stickies?

    Dude...you are going to spend a lot of my money with these types of arguments. :) Weight is a big issue in my rig. Already over GVW, so LFP fits that need. How about size? Is a 100 Ah LFP battery physically smaller than the AGM equivalent (Group 31)?

    Propane tank under chassis mount

    Looks like a job well done. No argument from me sir! If a fellow wants to be sure that his tank will last as long as possible and can be filled anywhere, then buying a new one is the best answer. In my case the old van isn't worth much and I want to see how it turns out if I use the least...

    Propane tank under chassis mount

    Then you will be purchasing "as new". Let us know how that $500+ has been spent.:)

    Propane tank under chassis mount

    I have to admit that this very premise gave me pause when deciding if I was willing to purchase a new ASME tank vs. buying a used one. In short, "Will they fill it?". If a used tank is 20% of the cost of new, then I decided to take the chance. Could be that I lose the gamble. In reference to...
