I love this trailer & am considering it. But seeing it behind your full size pickup, I wonder if it's too big to go behind my 2005 Jeep LJ. Would appreciate your thoughts - and maybe a width measurement - I haven't found one of those yet.

Just found this thread. Looks like my wish list is similar to the OP's: Queen Mattress Can sit up inside. Heater 3 Season insulation Outdoor full galley (or indoor, like Cricket) - with water storage that won't freeze Porta Potti inside Off-road-ability: Imogene pass or so. 3500 lbs, wet or...

belloinsella, what more do you know about this overland edition? When / how much? How did you hear?

DaveInDenver -I'm far from an expert here but have been doing a lot of research, off & on. From what I can tell from the APRSDroid website & knowledgebase, the serial input compatibility is not guaranteed. Allegedly it varies from tablet manufacturer to tablet manufacturer. Bluetooth serial...

Thanks for the info. From what I can tell, this is optimized for HT use, not for vehicle use - am I seeing that correctly? I would love a 12v input, no on-board battery (or GPS) required. May have to build my own.

Thanks. That's a pretty slick solution for an HT, with the battery power. One cable hookup is nice. Now what I need is a one cable serial to USB solution to get the D710GA to the Android tablet. (Does APRSDroid accept GPS input through the USB port?)

<Old thread alert> Old Jeeper, new ham. Want APRS also, with Kenwood tm-D710GA in the LJ. Want APRS displayed on Android tablet using APRSDroid. I've read & read all afternoon but can't find out how to connect the serial data out of the Kenwood D710GA to the Android tablet. I've got the...

I appreciate everyone's comments. I looked for an actual weight thread - would love to see photos of certain rigs w/ actual weights. Is there such a thread somewhere I haven't found? <I guess this has strayed a long ways from the original overhang question, but I really appreciate everyone's...

Thanks for that - confirmed my suspicions. But your comment on the modified 1/2 ton made me curious. I did some weight math & looked at the weights. Maybe I over-estimated the 'stuff' in my numbers below, but I also have no weights for people, dogs, and diesel fuel. But here's what I show...

One last question: To Dually or not to Dually? I've been looking at only SRW, but the F450 in that other post looks stout, and sweet, with lots of storage. Frankly, I'd be concerned DRW's would be way too wide for a trail...but from the dimensions they are narrow than the mirrors, and the...

Runt - thanks for the props for Phoenix. They're on my list to consider when I'm looking to order one, but I gotta tell you - it's really hard to get an idea of what they have from their website. Kinda like looking at the web version of a blank piece of paper. I'm not good at envisioning just...

Thanks. I just called them. Problem #1 is that the listed dimensions of the dinettes on their website are wrong. :ylsmoke: I also found out the bathroom sink intruding on the shower/toilet space is primarily driven by the cut-out in the sides of the camper to allow for the wheelwell & bed...

Guys, your experienced feedback is invaluable. The more I hear you, the more I think I don't want any overhang past the end of the truck. As much as I'd like the extra space. (I'm willing to be convinced otherwise....would use a Superhitch by Torklift & their extender...) Especially with real...

Gang - thanks for the help. Couple of follow-on questions. Hopeless Diamond - no issue on the photos. Any estimated how wide & how deep that potty compartment might be? Two of you presented perspectives on towing with the extension hitch. I would think flat tow would be the toughest, and yet...

Thanks for the help. Yours was one of the ones I was looking at, as it turns out. Is your truck stock height? It looks like the K2 has a similar potty as the Everest, but maybe a little narrower? If you wouldn't mind, I'd like to see some photos of that area if you have any.

Thanks Marcus. Something doesn't add up about the dimensions, but I'll call Hallmark tomorrow to confirm. If you look at the floorplans of both the 9.5" Cuchara & the 8' Ute, they show the same bathroom (with no dimensions) and the same 67" dinette, even though they are 18" different in floor...

Thanks MTCK. Can you & the wife sit in the dinette w/o bumping knees? Would you mind revealing the length of your respective inseams? Mine is only 32" (long torso, short legs) and the GF's is 35" - no way can we sit there together. That's #1 problem to solve. Then bathroom.

Folks - I could use some advice from the experienced among you. I've owned on-road RV's before but would like to do some camping out on some Jeep trails with a little more creature comforts. I'm familiar with 3/4 & 1-ton trucks, and have owned both, but haven't taken them on anything more than...

Thanks for the compliment, Happykamper - I somehow missed your props. The Jeep is SOLD
