Yep, looks like a Hartal door. aka 'Satan's Hatchway to Hell' The single worst piece of hardware on our truck by a very large margin.

I hunt "a little" (snickering) and switched to Kennetreks a while back after giving up on Danner and trying Meindl and Zamberlan. I have three pair- a "low top" hiker that I use for general duty and simple hiking, an uninsulated pair of "high tops" for early season Pronghorn and Deer and then...

4 years ago you could get a loan for one at roughly 3.5-4%. Given that my meager portfolio is running at around a 10-12% avg for the last decade I wouldn’t exactly consider it deranged. But that’s just me.

Ummmm........uhhhhhh........

A roof hatch that doesn’t suck? If so it will be the first in recorded history.

The whole expense-related argument is confusing to me because how much you paid for a rig really has no bearing on your overlanding/outdoors/camping experience. This assumption that anyone who has a spendy rig is a rich newbie gets tired. I get it all the time and I would LOVE for someone to...

I wish I was shorter, some of the trucks out these days like this one are pretty cool but I'd have to crawl on my knees to get in them.

The reality is that even with your excellent recommendations (diff locks and deflation) the absolute Achilles heel of trucks like ours is slick/muddy/slippery conditions. Even for the most miserly and weight conscious operators, locking diff and deflated tires help but will be no match for...

Yeah, we only take ours to RV parks and public camping.... :sneaky:

I'm sure there weren't any steep arroyos, trees or areas requiring steep departure angles or breakover clearance tho... ;)

30 feet long. Boy Howdy.

Speaking of overweight, how's that Taco Truckhouse Camper getting along? lol

I kinda thought the Expedition Forum here was the de facto "potential" owners group for these vehicles. That's how I used it when I was researching. Howard - is the ECOG independent and run by the owners or is it hosted/paid for/intertwined with EC? I got the sense it was the latter -...

Without access to said company's detailed financial statements, intimate knowledge of their production schedule and personnel and direct experience with their after-sale support (which some current owners could attest to but would be anecdotal) - - any commentary on your areas of inquiry is...

Yeah. It’s a shame the owners didn’t create and join an independent owners forum to store all that valuable information. That would have been smart.

Federal Vanlife Loan Forgiveness Program?

I feel really bad for the people that have put down money - likely in some cases a LOT of money- that will likely never get the money or the vehicle. That could mean financial ruin for some people. Hoping for a good outcome for them.
