Thank you for sharing this incredible trip. We are also in NOVA, plan to do this maybe next summer.

Hi friends, hope you all are doing great. Here’s our story: we have a gladiator rubicon, we love it, but the payload is very low (1039) to tow our trailer (3700 dry) plus all our stuff, gears and our whole family of four. We need to keep pretty minimal if we want to get on the road and also...

Hi it looks awesome! Do you recommend any dry camping spots (we have a trailer 21’) or trails for a gladiator? Thanks.

Those photos are extremely helpful, thank you.

look forward to meeting with you and Dave!

Thank you FordGuy1, we are very excited to join the Kimberley’s family. Hope to see all of you guys someday :) Yes, it meets all of our requirements without much sacrifice, we feel we will almost own a piece of art:)

we went with his show t Thank you friend. We checked some used Mantis, and it was sold way cheaper than new, and even the previous year’s model sells cheap. We are a little concerned about their resell value, combined with the potential quality issues, we talk to Dave again, and luckily he was...

Friends, I guess it will the final update, that we just put a deposit on a “literally” brand new Karavan. After countless hours searching and debating, we pull the trigger at last, this is it! We are super excited ? Maybe in less than three months, we will pull our dream trailer behind our...

Good to know. :)

mantis has the battery compartment inside the cabin, so should be fine?

But we want 23 model, with the new flex room and collapsible bathroom. ?

5.1 is comparable, I believe.

We will think about the bunkers later, now they are four and six, should be fine. As for the price, we looked at a bunch of different trailers, US made and AUS made, nothing hybrid in that price range, sadly

Thanks for the tips. No, I don’t think so. We plan to upgrade to lithium batteries and add inverter through the dealer.

Yes we are looking at the Overland edition. The price had gone up so much, but still a lot less than Karavan. Might not hold the value as good as it, but we are fine.

Yeah, according to the research, the Cricket had suspension issues for the earlier models, but mantis should never had one, and the current suspension works well. I will double confirm that, thanks for your reminder.

Thank you. We are thinking about that too. Also our dealer said they might be able to do something, just not sure how well it will perform in extremely cold nights. anyhow our family agree to make this sacrifice while all other boxes checked ( looks like so) with 50K+ more cash in our packet...

A quick update friends, we researched a lot about Taxa Mantis, it seems that fits us very well. Except water tank is not available for use in winter, but people saying the cabin is warm enough for 10- 20F with or without pop up. More than one owners in their FB owner group used it for ski trip...

Hi thank you for your suggestion. We would love to stay with our small kids in one connected space though.
