Yes it would fit, but not with a secure mounting point. Using a thru axle fork mount at a 90 degree turn isn't possible without a shim or some kind of attachment since one side is drastically lower than the other, necessitating a taller area. I've noticed lots of 'garage' space used where...
He's building a different version on the MB 170 3500 now. Either with a twin bed setup in the back, similar to the EKKO or a larger platform. I haven't seen the floor layout, but a few of his recent short videos on YT show the larger panels being laid out.
Looked it up. Wasn't something I was familiar with. Pretty cool though. The MTB storage, having to take apart the headset every time is a bit of a pia. Same thing would be needed using the bowen flatbed garage. It's not wide enough for a modern MTB without some disassembly.
isn't everything a compromise? If I wanted better off-road capabilities, sure, gimme a F350 with a bowen flat bed, and a supertramp LT. Or a used Rossmonster Baja (there's one for sale right now) Both would still cost more than this. The ability to store bikes inside is huge for some...
a E350 is being worked on by U-Joint for Nomad right now. 37s, axle swap, regearing, etc. Have knowledge that another model is being developed on the 170" sprinter chassis.
congrats! (y)
25" that is road racer territory. :cool: I'd be terrified riding down my backyard trails on that! Makes sense for smooth roads, since there's no obstacles and things trying to throw you off course. Wide bars = stability and increased leverage on rocky terrain. The downside...
A few things are being changed to the production model after conversation with Steve. One is widening the garage to 32" I mentioned that most bikes now have a 780-800mm bar. Wouldn't have placed a deposit without that change. The cab being locked off I can live without. Will come up with...
I'll have to report back on how it is. Placed my deposit on Sunday. Checks a lot of boxes for me at the cost. Perfect for 2, a dog and lots of gear. Will make a few mods like the long distance gas tank, but nothing crazy at least to start.
Walls are composite, built by Lemker & Harris...
Appreciate the response. I've driven those areas in UT before. The camper I'm looking at is permanently mounted to a F550, can't get the weight down that much. Average about 40-60days on snow a year with 7-10k avg miles in those conditions, driving into them intentionally. Will likely look...
Considering a overland purchase that's on MPT 81s, but the tires give me pause. Have driven van based campers in the past, and exchanged out the AT tires for true winters. Looking at the tread pattern, the lack of siping concerns me in hardpack snow conditions. I'm sure they'd do just fine in...
