I watched a couple YouTubes this morning on the Ramcharger specs. Yes, as of now, it's a city truck but imagine a Rebel version! I do hope RAM does this ASAP as it probably satisfies 90% of the off pavement tow crowd. 690 miles non towing range, 2500+# payload in a 1500 sized package...

I'm looking at both Pause and Bruder as options. Since I'm Canadian I know what a kilo to pound conversion is . But I'm wanting to be sure when Bruder says "Weight: 2420Kg" is that Dry like NA manufacturers quote all the time or is it max? If max weight, how do you calculate net carrying...

I get it, lots of opinions incoming. But that's what I'm looking for. My use case: Daily driver ~90% of the time, mostly city, occasional non tow road trip. Weekends/holidays it'll pull an off road capable ~7000# trailer up the highway down some crap forestry roads and sometimes up some...

I googled a bunch but couldn’t find anything. Anybody got a link or video of a Sprinter 3500 chassis being flexed? You see lots of MAN or DAF or Stevenson etc, but I can’t seem to find a Sprinter cut away. I’m looking at the new Sprinter based Winnibago Ekko but have questions on how flexy...

I’m sure this has been asked but darn if my Google skills can find it. Idea is 1 starlink account, 1 modem mounted inside, 1 main roof mounted dish and then a spare tripod dish for when trees/obstacles prevent the ideal parking spot (IE shady) from good solid roof dish connection. Idea is some...

1) Food storage - lots of videos saying “lots of storage” but what about fresh/frozen capacity? 2) PakaYak/SUP storage - anyone have dimensions of that back garage with a freezer/fridge in there? Looks like a decent amount of room??? 3) Gas vs Diesel - if my plans are North...

I’ve been googling around and haven’t found what I think probably exists. And that is a hitch mounted box that contains a propane bbq and maybe some storage that is also well sealed and can swing out to use as a camp kitchen setup. I’ve seen swing arms with baskets and I’ve seen stoves/sinks...

Tumbling ideas around my head. Assume a F550/5500 crew cab chassis truck with a custom frame mount. Something like a Total Composites box on top and proper SRW conversion with something like Liquid Springs and 2" lift and 42" GoodYears etc. Use case: casual off road - bad forestry roads...

I'm not talking full axle articulation or such, just lots of wash board, occasional drainage ditch where a "regular" truck would sanely go. I'm concerned the flex of the truck frame will mess with the slides. I realize I could go Full 5500/Total Composites custom etc. But want to strongly...

I know GXV has a cube that have has a vertical pop up that is hard sided. I believe there is a german one too (can't remember the brand). Love to learn of others. If you know a hardsided pop up plan or manufacturer I'd love to look at them.

As we discuss our proposed build one of the things that I think we'll need to decide early on is which end does the bathroom and bedrooms/dinette go? Assume a drop down over the bed dinette decision has been made. Option A: Bed/dinette at the rear. 3 walls for windows for viewing and airflow...

I realize many of you will think I'm nuts... but since we are looking at a longer rig and my wife will not ride on a motorcycle I wonder if a JKU properly lifted to match the 6x6 might be reasonable? Anyone with a larger overlander tow a TOAD? It doesn't appear so but I might as well ask....

We are planning out a build. Looks like a 6x6 class chassis is likely. But since I'm still researching and questioning things I have a couple basic Q. EU has a 7.5T weight limit or you are into commercial/restricted territory? Easy to get around or a really bad idea to overshoot 7.5T? Along...

Hopefully this is allowed here but the linked article is about a poor family whose rig bogged in the outback...

Please pardon the coming flood of newbie posts. I'm just starting down the design path. I've watched enough YouTube and read enough blogs to excite me. Now it's on to figuring out want vs need. Btw I'm coming out of the power boat and Class A RV world of experience. So, first question...
