    BAE Systems Titan XD 4400 + Bliss Mobil 15' w/ Extras - $525,000 (Boulder, CO)

    Havent ever met or spoken to the seller but we have a 15 foot bliss mobil and have driven a bliss through 17 countries on 3 continents. I can attest to the quality of the bliss box and the ability to move between chassis. -40F and its warm and toasty with a shower inside. Anyone would be very...

    Bliss Mobil - Base Vehicle Advice

    In my experience it depends what work needs to be done. We had a starter blow up in our Hilux last week on a beach. Called a mechanic in town 40 minutes away and he showed up with a new GD-6 starter and on the sand had it swapped out in 15 minutes. That’s simply not going to happen with an...

    Bliss Mobil - Base Vehicle Advice

    Back anout 6 years ago was in Death Valley with a buddy and ended up camping with Perky Mog (before they sold) and they ended up getting a tumor the size of my head on the inside of their tire the next morning on the way out of the canyon. We said we’d help change it and they argued up and down...

    Bliss Mobil - Base Vehicle Advice

    Yep the Chinese keep paving everything! It’s getting ridiculous now definitely not like the good days when it was much more adventurous and gravel for thousands of k’s. Yep I’m familiar with travelin Tortuga. The kalahari sand is good it’s the black cotton soil that gets ya but I’m not sure...

    Bliss Mobil - Base Vehicle Advice

    Nope! Never driven a cabover. I thjnk your right I need to get behind They also make it very difficult to find somewhere to test drive one. I have a buddy who is a Fuso mechanic in Canada and he just talks about how they drive like a bus and no cab comfort and I would be so much happier with the...

    Bliss Mobil - Base Vehicle Advice

    We looked at those two chassis as well as a complete EC. We ended up going bliss for hard sides and we like the high bed and interior layout better. EC’s are great vehicles though. The Straya was of definite interest to us as it fits what we are looking for much better than the Monterra from...

    Bliss Mobil - Base Vehicle Advice

    Super helpful. I’ve had a lot of these thoughts one off but great to see it put down to paper like this. Agreed, the price difference is shipping to every continent and lots of beer and food and fuel. It’s definitely a completely unknown and new to me platform. I feel like I’m trying to talk...

    Bliss Mobil - Base Vehicle Advice

    We have a 13 foot Bliss Mobil unit on order for a few months now. Having to decide on a base vehicle soon. Havent decided if it will be mounted in the states or overseas at the factory. We have narrowed it down to two base vehicles but are completely stuck between the two and would welcome any...

    Kenworth K370 6X6 with BoxManufaktur Habitat & Torsion Free Subframe

    Euro V doesn’t require AdBlue. Definitely an issue in Africa or South America to have a vehicle that requires adblue. Basically unworkable. I still have a question about LSD vs ULSD with Euro V but they seem to function great from the people I’ve talked to traveling with them and haven’t had any...

    Kenworth K370 6X6 with BoxManufaktur Habitat & Torsion Free Subframe

    The 2022 Isuzu FTR is actually using a Cummins B6.7L not the four cylinder with an Allison 2550. I believe the power rating is almost identical to the Paccar in the KW. Can’t compare cabs though don’t have experience with the new FTR. Agreed nothing compares to the KW 6x6 without significant...

    Kenworth K370 6X6 with BoxManufaktur Habitat & Torsion Free Subframe

    We are doing a Bliss Mobil box as well. We looked at the Acela but did not choose it for a couple reasons. Mainly it was driver fatigue/comfort and loud noise. Someone else with a Bliss box and Acela said they use ear plugs on the Highway that sounds horrible. It also significantly raises the...

    I know someone is doing it, not sure who. How does the FTR compare to the Kenworth as a chassis?

    OEM RHD US SPEC

    That was my question/goal billibob, not to import any vehicle but to purchase straight off the lot from a dealership here in the states. I know that Jeep sells 0 mile factory brand new RHD vehicles in the states (mainly JLU but i've seen RHD gladiators, theres one in Illinois right now). But...

    OEM RHD US SPEC

    First off, not sure if this is in the correct section but I think it is. I'm interested in info on vehicles for sale in the US direct from manufacturer in RHD. Any input would be appreciated I've tried to search but haven't come up with much. I know that rural mail carriers use multiple vehicles...

    2021 Overland Explorer Vehicles (OEV) CAMP-HBE pop-up flatbed pickup camper (renamed the "Hudson Bay" for 2023 model year)

    That makes sense. The FWC Hawk has underbed storage while retaining the same dimensions I believe as the Camp-HBE however requires removing pillows to put the top down. However you can throw them on the dinette chairs and once you get to camp just put them back on the bed. A lot harder to do...

    2021 Overland Explorer Vehicles (OEV) CAMP-HBE pop-up flatbed pickup camper (renamed the "Hudson Bay" for 2023 model year)

    Quick question, I’ve looked through your review and all of the videos and still can’t find the answer @chadx. Does the bed have an under bed storage for clothes and shoes like the FWC’s? I love everything about the HBE and considering purchasing one sight unseen but the biggest and only downfall...

    Total Composites Heat Options

    Hello, I am about to pull the trigger on a Ram 5500 C&C 84” CA with dual 370 amp alternators. I will be putting a 12.5’ (interior) total composites box with no cabover on the back with 45 degree front and sides. The Ram C&C is going to be the 6.4 petrol engine. I would have chosen the Ford F-550...

    Opus Owners in Cold Weather

    Opus Op2/Op4 owners how cold have you had your trailers with the furnace? Do you empty your water when the lows get to around 32F or do you push it a bit lower? The nice thing with no interior plumbing would be just the concern of the tanks freezing and cracking. Does the furnace work pretty...
