Doh! I'll have to check this once I am at home ... stupid GFW.

Maybe we look for 2 trailers, one to build out and one to live in for a while. We've traveled extensively and lived on motorcycle back for months at a time so living and cooking rough is not a huge hardship for us. However, I understand your points and will take them into consideration. The...

Hey people, So I was recently in the USA again (I live in Shanghai, China) and saw hundreds if not thousands of 'bumper pull' and 5th wheel trailers in the month I was exploring Yellowstone and the surrounding areas. I have been planning a large build with a 20' composite box on a 4 point...

I was thinking that BajaSurfRig was asking about timing. As in how many years in the future are we looking until this is a reality...

Automotive diesel emissions engineer here... A couple of points here regarding diesel tech. 1. Diesels are great for many reasons but are getting really expensive. - Common rail systems are operating at 2200+bar so the pumps are very pricey and can be delicate - Injectors are being driven...

Our initial plan is for 1.8kw of solar and a 600ah 24v LiFePo4 setup. We would be using an induction inside and are considering either a gas option outside or continuing the induction route. A single 'burner' outside and a dual inside. Our hab will be about 20' long and will support 2 humans...

I have noticed a few huge dollar build manufacturers (Unicat etc) will have a small drawer based outdoor kitchen module thing. Like a drawer that pulls out of an exterior storage compartment and there you have a small work surface, sometimes a sink, and a cooking surface - gas or induction...

It kinda helps that I am diesel aftertreatment calibration engineer and many of my customers make these things. I am currently working on a van with a 2.8l diesel and bringing it kicking and screaming up to CN6 emissions standard. We have about 4 or so of the latest DFAC trucks on site that I...

We have looked at those, the cost of them can be much higher than we really want to spend, the 'hassle' of building them is part of the fun. Further, we have lived in a traditional RV and are looking for something a bit different. The roads here while not needing 4x4 and huge ground clearance...

Well.. We currently live here. I have traveled many places here in China for work and will be leaving in a fey days for another 3 weeks on the road. As for a guide, I think I can offer some ideas on why one would want one. The road sighs, menus, rules, etc., are all pretty much written only...

Oooo... I like that. Change the color maybe...

So, Current challenge here is how to get a bigger license category. I currently have a C1 category and think I need either a B1 or B2 category (Middle passenger vehicle, or Heavy Goods Vehicle). I have our HR looking for a school for me. If this goes ahead... I'll do a basic build log.

Hey Tern Overland, Yeah, we have found the same thing. The products here are either superior quality for the same price or a lower price for similar quality to what we could get in the UK and the US. I suppose since most things are made here. We would be leaving the vehicle here in China...

Since labor is so cheap here... we'd be paying a company to insulate the truck with the spray foam. For the sheet insulation, the body style is congregated much like a shipping container. Mater of fact, for all intents and purposes, the boxes are shipping containers minus the corner locks...
