I guess a Vespa and a Unicat and everything in between can breakdown there's bound to be some cost differential in getting operational again. The most reliable rig I've seen, because a diesel 70-series LC isn't available in the US, is a combo of training, expertise and a gravel bike with some...
This could take years....or months. Unless it is an emergency, DC shuts down for most of December. It will depend largely on the economy, the health of the EV market and maybe most on whether or not folks decide they want to work&win together. It's hard to fault Rivian when the US goverment...
Good observation though the photo distortion makes it seem dramatic. I'm not an EC owner but as far as I've read, Earthcruiser hasn't had problems and documented failures with their axles/wheel bearings/etc. WIth any of these vehicles, I would get good answers to the following:
(1) What are the...
Have to admit this looks great and offers a more livable seating arrangement. ER fit and finish is always good and these newer ones appear to be pushing up to the level of some of the fine, and equally/often more expensive, European campers though available American diesel offroad trucks do not...
I'm not an EV owner [yet] but wondering what is a proven / no brainer garage EV home-charging system (for 1-2 vehicles) currently available? I have some PV solar that can help but largely powered by the grid in a relatively cold, dark, northern rockies environment. The vehicle(s) will ideally...
Very smart and no doubt there are folks who have been waiting for something like this. It is always great to have a North American-made product available.
If GXV has indeed been completely absorbed, it will be interesting to see how Storyteller (a) weathers the current RV market and (b) maintains the quality and reputation of GXV. Offering a few different models should give them an edge over a good deal of the competition, particularly if they...
Fisker, the person, has designed some great looking cars. He is one of those entrepreneurs who seems to have 9 lives. His companies over the years struggle and run out of gas when the investor largesse is expended and art & design slams into reality. These are tough times for EV...
No big deal: Earthroamer went into Chapter 7 liquidation bankruptcy in 2009 and then reemerged like Houdini after some quick restructuring. The only minor issue was that owners up to that time lost their Earthroamer warranty, beyond that, they started up like nothing ever happened and have been...
I've not seen a description of what is different about the hybrid variation and why they aren't having problems, perhaps they are manufactured differently and/or separately?
I will wait a few years to get a newly designed vehicle&engine and a big fan of the early adopters who bravely buy these...
Your question is tough to answer without any context: mileage, history, etc. In my opinion, the condition of the truck and camper is a more important topic than the engine. These things are not cheap (unless you are used to maintaining a private aircraft or yacht). E.g. if it is an 08 ER with...
I don't know if Ford (and Ram) provide a different axle for SRW in 450/550 or just use some kind of an OEM spacer/extension?
At least some expedition campers have in the past taken factory DRW F550 axle and then extended it (e.g. Dana S110 and 130? on Earthroamers) to result in a camper-width...
