    Apogee Adapt-X folding utility trailer, cool design, big fail in the execution

    Autohome RTT hardware upgrade for safety - replace those scrawny u-bolts!

    Lemsteraak, That is very interesting, I was wondering if the small u-bolts were supposed to be the "fuse" or weak point in the mounting system. My Yakima cross bars have some plastic parts in the brackets and I have no doubt that they will separate off the factory Land Cruiser roof rails in a...

    Is the roof tent trend over?

    I just bought a new Maggiolina - I sold my Oliver travel trailer (for more than I paid seven years ago) and now I have the ability to just stop at any side spot in the back country for a night or three, if the weather is decent. I am past dealing with inclement conditions. My dealer told me...

    Autohome RTT hardware upgrade for safety - replace those scrawny u-bolts!

    More pics. This shows the RTT as first installed by the dealer (who shall remain nameless). After modifying the hardware, I slid the RTT rearward 2” from where it was installed (see the small black mark near the rear crossbar) to reduce bug buildup under the front lip. I removed...

    Autohome RTT hardware upgrade for safety - replace those scrawny u-bolts!

    FYI I am using two old school round Yakima crossbars with Yakima Rail Grab LowRider towers. I fabricated two strips to act as spacers using 3/16” x 2” wide 6061T3 aluminum, this allows the fiberglass to clear the steel Yakima brackets!!! Without spacers the fiberglass would be badly damaged at...

    Spotted FS in Montana 97 F-350 7.3 4wd rescue truck 30k miles/ $20,000

    I spotted a craigslist ad for a pristine potential expedition camper, for sale in north Montana. NOT my ad. I bet the “only 30,000” were hard miles. I would want to see some regular and complete service records, for sure. It has single rear wheels, yay! From the appearance and glossy paint, I...

    Hema vs Gaia

    If you leave the app running at night, do NOT let it go to sleep or run in the background, the downloads are way WAY faster. If your screen is bright, dim it down. I downloaded 30 GB of data in one night. The only feature I like about HEMA is the base road map. I like how easy it is to see my...

    EarthCruiser GZL 400

    Have you installed a GZL 400 in a Ram 2500 Power Wagon? Did you feel it needed airbags to supplement the soft factory rear springs? I tow a lovely Oliver travel trailer right now behind my Land Cruiser 200, but I really like the idea of a simple slide in camper in a 2019 PW. My only big...

    EarthCruiser Overland Vehicles

    Hey, what is the latest word on the new GM 6.0 liter gas V8/ Allison 6 speed drivetrain option? Will that be offered in the 4wd model? Will it have a real transfer case? I love these rigs but I am never going to own one with a small diesel and dual clutch tranny. Thanks. John Davies Spokane WA

    Keeping dirt out of the coils of an RV refrigerator?

    This is probably a little off topic, but I hope I can get some suggestions. You folks are experienced with dust.... I have an Oliver Legacy Elite II travel trailer that I take on dusty dirt roads. It has a conventional RV refrigerator and the coil compartment is getting heavily loaded with...
