I just looked at that camper and it is very nice. Little expensive for my taste but for a traveling family it looks awesome. The specs are similar to what we have posted here. Heavy half ton and up, short/long bed, and only 1331 lbs starting weight! Figure 2-2500 lbs fully loaded with no rally...

I cannot speak for other apps but I have had great success and ease of use with OnX. There is a downside with all apps. For OnX, and I raised the concern with the design team, is that the content view settings do not sync across devices. Ie: Plan/develop on laptop, save…open phone/ipad, and you...

Rented RVs in GA for 2 years. Any questions give me a shout. Outdoorsy, rvshare, rvngo are all like Airbnb but with a huge catch. Insurance. Keep in mind that if the renter is using personal insurance and not a commercial brand like we used (MBA), in a claim event, they are most assuredly...

To correct your assumption. I didn’t say it was a date “game.” A dart on the wall is a target that you shoot for, or base your calculations off of. Regardless, a vehicle can handle up to and sometimes more than the gvrw. It’s all about safety for you and those around you. Ask any DOT...

Agree with “go with the flow.” I use OnX and have been happy so far. The last 2 trip routes were planned out and were very accurate when you do the research!

Thanks Jim. My OP was Nov 2024 so I thought it was a dead prospect of getting a reply. In the absence of guidance, I created my own documents based on my use case.

That stinks about the tranny. But the Starlink roam plan is a solid pick over any Sat Phone.

Finally arrived!!

GVWR is a dart on the wall. But whichever way you go. AIRBAGS......I hauled RV's with my F350 for 2 years with a max weight of 16k lbs and a hitch weight of almost 3k lbs and those airbags were awesome....

If you have a 1986-1997 Ford F250 or F350, you most likely a Dana 44 front axle and a Sterling 10.25 rear axle. They are fairly easy to identify by the pinion setup (high/low) and the axle cover. OP stated that he wanted to swap out for a solid axle yet it already has one. Here is a guide to...

I keep it simple on the road and at home. A water boiler and my favorite Cafe Bustelo Espresso coffee is amazing. No pod trash, no clean up just coffee!!

First, I don't own it. It was a surprise rental upgrade. Second, this is just my observations of driving it 2100+ miles on a vacation to the TN mountains near Knoxville. Pros: * My wife kind of liked it, mainly as she knew we were going on mountain roads and that made her more comfortable on...

Love the K5. Drove many Army CUCV’s. I drive a ‘14 F350 CCSB 6.5’ bed with a utility topper. Personally I would stay with the shorter bed. Think turn radius. For me, full size overlanding is more fun! I can carry everything I need for repairs, self recovery, life support and still have room...
