Haha, all good. I appreciate your respectful reply! 😊
I'm not mad at all Americans (just one or two). The Canadian in me wasn't targeting you as an American, but it was what made me feel that there was an injustice in you roasting other people's trailers without doing the same to yours. I guess...
I don't have a trailer in this race. You didn't hurt my feelings, but I'd have been PO'd if anyone googling my trailer could come across such a one-sided negative post.
I'm not ready to embrace AI just yet, but Gemini sent me an unsolicited email promoting the release of a new version. Just for...
Well, you also used AI to compare the Xplore to the Pause/Reboot in another thread. I don't want to compare myself; I just thought it exposed your biases even more when you pretended to poke fun at things you have contempt for and then didn't balance things out. I guess I was too subtle.
I'll second Hiker Trailer. They have lots of models/variations of squaredrops. I've owned one since 2019 (Mid-Range 5x8) and while I haven't taken it on anything more rugged than gravel, it has held up very well to the PNW environment. Some don't like the wood construction, but the offset is...
Why the lower roof at the front? Teardrops offset the lack of a stand-up interior with a lower overall height, but that is lost in this design. Looks cool, but you adding a disadvantage without the offsetting benefit.
Also, what is the track width? the outboard wheels might allow the axle to...
Oh, there is a market for these. Probably a small overlap of excess cash and excess testosterone, but there must be a few.
"Dude, my big brother can beat up your big brother!"
"No way! But so what, my dog can shred your dog in a fight."
"Get real. Anyway, my dad can kick your dad's ass!"
"FO...
From their site; "Backroads Overland Co. was started with the intent to better balance the value for customers looking to get out doors with the help of an overland camping trailer. We were driven to turn out a top quality product for a much greater value. We are so passionate about the...
Very ambitious! Glad to see that you planned for some sleep in Fresno on July 15! :ROFLMAO:
I'll keep an eye out on July 10 in Vancouver: I live near the Steam Clock. Safe travels!
This does not seem to fully fit the symptoms, but if it is a manual transmission, there is a safety switch that won't allow the starter to engage unless the clutch is depressed, even if it is not in gear. I had that switch fail and it took forever for the dealer to diagnose it. All the electrics...
That is such an awesome story, @phnttom thanks for taking the time to write , edit and share! Reading the excitement in your narrative reminded me of my own teardrop (squareback) purchase, and interactions with Dale, even though I didn't buy one of his trailers. I have followed your posts with...
This idea doesn't quite fit the "turn key" objective, but usually the perfect trailer does not exist, so there may need to be a compromise somewhere... Hiker Trailer's square-back trailers are value-priced (in my opinion; I'm a satisfied owner of a Mid-Range 5x8). Using a bare-bones trailer as a...
