Most cruising sailors pitch the wind generators pretty quick. Noisy... Did I mention Noisy? That and vibration. They are also really costly too. Go solar, its the cheapest route. As said once set up pretty much a life time deal with hard panels.

Hard cans are nice. But they dont pack small.

Once you go modern EV. Thats pretty much all you'll want to drive on a daily basis. Assuming your enviormentally smart and live close to work. Even plugin hybrids have a big value. My wifes plugin Fusion does weekends 100% EV mode. We just put solar on the house. Bought our own system hired a...

Failed tourque converter? I know they can cause stalls.

September is some of the nicest weather we get in CA.

Nemo Helio shower kit. Pricy but we love it. Probably the best camp gear item I added to our kit. Packs up in a cereal bowl sized zipper pouch. We use it to do dishes, and I use it to douse the camp fire also. Oh and its a great shower set up too.

I'm not a empty nester. We set up a base camp in one spot for several days and do day trips. Every empty nester I know abd those we meet camping all typically are on the move every day or so and are running vans or pickup campers. They might do local hikes or activites near camp etc. That and...

I think your travel style will play into if a trailer regardless of type is a good fit.

Leds are polarity specific. They wont light wired backwards. One possibility

The 470 is a great truck. I made an offer on one total cream puff one two days before we bought the Sequoia. Call your local toyota dealer have them email or fax you their history on it. Make sure the timing belt / water pump service is done. Outside of that great ride and really plush interior...

I like having the trailer given we set up a base camp for a number of days. Then do day trips and return to camp and dont have any teardown or set up. For road trips where your not in any one spot more than one night the trailer starts to loose its appeal. I think ultimately my ideal set up will...

I spent many yrs towing a very long tongue boat trailer easy to back because it hardly turned. Lol. I have the little 12ft life time trailer now. It took some recalibration on my part to back it, but short tongues make for backing in tight spots far far far easier given the trailer will turn...

Just got back from 7day trip up the North CA coast. Two parents, 4yr old, 7yr old, 3yr old doberman + trailer in the 2.5 Subaru OB. We set up our main camp 5hr drive. Then did day trips. We didnt pack bikes left em home. 21.5mpg average towing 65-70mph rarely over 3000rpm. All in with day trips...

You guys would like the PT Skiff. 600lbs dry 20hp, 65 mi range on 5gallons. CG rated for 6. And a wood kit!! I want....

Run the numbers! We've used them in the sailboat racing world for a long time now. The issue is special menthol type fuel you need to carry. And they are for the most part trickle charge systems. Very low output. Most overlanders have a big power appetite or have large spikes in both charging...

Boat itis affliction I see. I have the same issue. Though one of mine is 9000lbs and isnt road legal. So that limits my cruising range.

Grr edit wiped out my post Original lifetime trailer is two queen bunks each side of the 4x6 floor. 900lbs empty.The newer one might be two singles check on that. The original Jumping jack is same exact idea but 6x8 with queen sized bunks 1200lbs empty. This is another option exactly the same...

Lots of votes to figure out the MDX. If your doing epic big trips multiple times a yr then chances are you'll be thinking about what sort of set up fits the family interest. I'd go MDX with small trailer for a season or two and see how it goes. We did 5 trips last yr one long trip 7 days and a...

Picked up a Costco LifeTime trailer. Love it. Great family camp rig, great house project dump run trailer. Small footprint.
