I might suggest two batteries, but it depends on your power needs and the amount of solar where you go. In the east with lots of trees it can be difficult to get sun in the summer, for example. Another choice is solar panels: permanently mounted or portable. Each has advantages and...

Bungie cords. Not very elegant, and not very convenient.

Agreed. We just returned from an 8-week trip. Halfway through the propane tank was refilled and it was down less than half. An it was last filled last fall! Now, a propane firepit seems to be a different matter. Those who travel with a propane fire pit usually connect them to a 20-pound tank!

Mine stay on the tow vehicle because we often leave the trailer as a base camp for a couple of nights and go off on excursions during the day. Then move on to a new base camp. So the traction boards stay with me, not the trailer. But that's just how I camp. (Sorry for the late reply.)

Dark and cold and wet! That is miserable. We don't use the furnace much, but there are definitely situations where it makes all the difference in the world!

I think you’re going to love the adventures you’ll have with the OGT!

Well, I have a 2019 Expedition with the original, "smaller" doors and we don't have any ese of entry problems. In fact, when OGT started making the doors themselves, I thought, "why do we need larger doors?" Point being, I don't think you'd have any issues. Unless perhaps you are enormous. Now...

I'll chime in with my experience. I run my 2019 Expo on the road with 30 psi in BFG KO2 tires. (Fully loaded, no RTT.) No issues with trailer bounce. Offroad, of course, the pressure depends on the trail condition, but around 18 psi is typical. The Timbren suspension is fine. The new suspension...

I can’t say that I’m surprised. Thanks for the info - appreciate it.

In the Feb 2022 Video Off Grid Trailers Presents the OGT Evolution Series By Fabtech Motorsports, OGT says in the comments "We are currently working on a retrofittable options. We will release details on that soon." I haven't seen anything further on that topic. Did OGT decide against it?

Many differences between the 2018 Expedition and the 2022 model. Some have been already noted, but here's what I can recall: Larger doors, lighting package, provision for A/C, inside cabin bin doors that open down (not up) and can be used as shelves, furnace on the side box with the water...

5 or 6 years ago I spent a few days in the North Maine Woods at a sporting camp. Most people got there by float plane, but you could take logging roads, which I did. The gravel roads are active and maintained, but it's very remote. I've been thinking about going back for some disbursed camping...

You're going to love it! Looking forward to the pics. Got some trip plans?

Beyond the food, water, shelter recommendation, I'd add emergency communication (like a satellite text communicator), safety (a good first aid kit and education on how to use it, and a fire extinguisher), basic tools, and recovery gear.
