I had a 16' Scamp and pulled it with a Dodge Omni, I'm not at all worried about pulling a 1,500 lb. trailer with a CRV.

I've done some welding but as I said I want aluminum for the lighter weight, not steel.

So what trailers do people use to build their own small tear drop or other campers? I won't be building an adventure trailer for rugged or off road use. Gravel road, yes, but not the Rubicon Trail!

I was looking at the aluminum one for the lighter weight, to help keep me under my 1500 lb weight limit.

Sorry I didn't reply, haven't been on here for years. I think the gararge is about 4' high and 4' deep. Has worked out well, just have too much junk in there so takes time to get the motorcycle out!

After over 9 years in my Isuzu truck camper I'm considering downsizing to a small SUV and trailer combo.

Hi, i was very active on here about 10 years ago when I built my custom camper. I put a Shadow Cruiser truck camper on an Isuzu NPR flatbed. There is a complete build history in the Isuzu/Japanese truck forum. It has served me well and have been living and traveling in it for over 9 years now...

Jerry, The traditional Japanese toilet is a porcelain fixture mounted in the floor, you stand on it and squat over it to use it, there is no seat. Some Japanese, especially those who haven't traveled abroad before, will stand on the seat of our style toilet and then squat down on it rather than...

Hey Jerry, l sent you an email Vic

Hi Jerry, First chance I've had to sit and look at you pictures, they are fantastic! Sounds like you are having a great time, looking forward to the rest of your trip. I just got to L.A. last week, will be here for about a month before heading north to Tahoe and east to Minnesota for the...

From Gatsma: "Fridge not liking modified sine waves huh? How did you know this? Did it just quit, or what? After all the time you've traveled with this rig so far, is there anything you would have done different on the build?" Sorry for the delay, tried to answer this awhile back but lost my...

Thanks! 610 watts with 6 Trojan T-105 golf cart batteries, a 2000 w modified sinewave inverter and a 1000 w. pure sine inverter (had to add this because the refrigerator didn't like the other one after awhile). Vic, now in Seattle and soon heading south for the winter!

Started with this Modified it and put it on this Don't know why this pic won't show up, sorry. And ended up with this (after 4 months) Cost about $25,000 including a used box truck, used camper and solar system (added after the above picture). See my signature for a link to the...

Sorry, I haven't been on here much in the past two years, been having too much fun traveling - and hiking, biking, and climbing mountains! I just got back to Bend, OR this afternoon, after climbing Mt. Rainier yesterday. It was a great climb, but was very tired! Went with a friend from here, we...

Hi Jerry, I'm at Lake Tahoe right now, will be here till next week sometime, then heading north again via Reno. Have to get new batteries for my truck, I'm using my camper batteries to keep it going for now. Do you know how far west you will be going? I plan on following the Pacific Crest Trail...

Scotty, l'm happy with my '08 Honda CRF230L. They recently came out with the new model, which is a 250, I think with fuel injection, mine has a carb.

Hey Jerry, Glad to hear you are back on the road again and the truck problem was quickly taken care of. I must be near your (old?) home, I am in Charles Town, WV right now. Went into DC yesterday and visited the Capital building and listened to the nonsense in the House and Senate for a little...

Wow, glad you didn't get stuck! I'm in New York, spent 2 days hiking in the Catskills, heading to the AT in Massachusetts tomorrow, to bag the state HP. Enjoy Moab! There is a neat back road from near Moab up to the White Rim drive or the Island In The Sky entrance to Canyonlands.

Great mountain pics! (As I sit at Walmart in Indiana)

Hi Jerry, I am near Moorhead, MN right now, plan on leaving here in the morning and going east, I think to the North Country Trail near Park Rapids for a day or two, then on to Paul Bunyan State Forest near Walker, both for hiking, then down to Crosby for some mtn. biking. (all in Minn.) That is...
