    What PortaPotti / Camco portable toilet (or similar) has biggest seat and bowl?

    I know you said you didn't want the battery operated pump, but I love my Curve! Good height, big bowl, large black tank. In fact, I own two!

    E-bikes?

    Am I missing something? The latest I can find seems to indicates e-bikes (as long as being pedaled) are allowed in National Parks on bike trails.

    E-bikes?

    Add me to the e-bike camp! Just bought myself a Rad Rover fat bike and love it! I went with RAD after reading a lot of reviews of the customer service. While not the perfect bike for what I want, the price/performance value is spot on. I will be using it mostly on logging roads and easy two...

    UJOR Build Thread

    As a snowmobiler, I've often thought of converting our 24' Class C to 4x4. I currently use a beat-up truck camper on my pickup in the winter, but it would be nice to have something a bit bigger. 9 times out of 10 a person can get to the sno-parks with 2wd... but I like to be prepared for every...

    The Lunchbox Build... 4x4 chevy shorty van

    I'd caution people to just delete their Photobucket accounts. Even though the pics don't automatically appear, if you 'right click', you can open them in a separate window. I've got pics shared all over the web too with Photobucket and am not a happy camper either.

    Fred the Van. The More We Explore's Adventure Van Build Thread

    To me, white looks unfinished. Like somebody just tossed it on and said "good enough!" Body color is fine, or even something contrasting. (Leaving it white even on a white van looks bad since it likely won't be the same white.)

    MG Metalworks Van Build

    Funny! I can't imagine anyone following this thread ever considered you wouldn't make this happen. (You should have known my Grandfather; different generation, same methodical mind and skills!)

    The Lunchbox Build... 4x4 chevy shorty van

    Been following along since the beginning and just wanted to throw in my "congrats!". Very cool. Always wanted a full-size 4x4 van. (My [stalled] project is an AWD Safari van that won't be anywhere near as capable as yours, but will suit my needs.)

    $5k SUV Showdown: '91 Burb,' 01 Burb, V10 Excursion

    My vote would be for the Excursion. The IFS on the newer GM is a red flag for me if the truck is going to be worked off-road as I've read the parts wear quickly and they don't stay aligned. I've got a V-10 in a 99 Super Duty and I'm sitting at about 173,000 miles with no real issues. These...

    Great writing! Thanks for sharing!

    Looking for some help in choosing a vehicle. SX4, Sidekick, Vitara, or CRV?

    I have an SX4 and enjoy it very much. Mine is an '09 with a 5 speed manual and I picked it up in 2014 with less than 20K miles on it. Mileage hovers around 26-28 mpg, better in town than on the highway at 75. Doesn't have the greatest suspension travel and with low clearance and no low range...

    2000 GMC Safari AWD Hightop - Campervan Conversion | Project Recap

    Very cool! I've got a '96 Safari AWD Conversion that will eventually be built in this vein. I bought mine brand new and paid $24k for it! :sombrero:

    I find the front drive interesting... Can somebody point me to some info on the system used in these vehicles?...

    Roam About with "Big Hank"

    It's all good. I'm not a big fan of blogs in general, and then to come here and be pointed off to different blogs just kind of turns me off. I've always appreciated the trip reports posted to this forum and others I follow. I guess I just like to find all the content in one familiar place and...
