    Skersfan's New Shuttle Pod Trailer Build...

    Taking good care of her !! We took it to the convention last October in NC and spent two weeks playing on the Kentucky Adventure Trail with it. This year we have used this teardrop every other weekend since April. We purchased 10 acres of timber near the lake and are working on the land as...

    EXCELLENT Customer Service at Discount Tire

    We have ordered three sets of tires out of the California Discount tire and have always been more than pleased with their service and knowledge. We were excited to get a couple of local stores but they have turned out to be idiots (seriously). We have since then order several more sets from...

    The OFFICIAL Overland Expo EAST 2014 Thread!

    I agree that not having Expo East shirts cost them a bunch. We came with extra money just to purchase sweatshirts and other clothing there. Many vendors just weren't prepared with items and were b/o many things we looked at. They either planned it last minute and missed shipments or didn't...

    How could gnats get into fridge with lid shut

    Maybe the lid wasn't completely closed. There have been a couple of times that we thought ours was closed but realized the back didn't snap down all the way, it's something we have to really watch for now.

    What is the holy grail of camp cook books?

    I just purchased a GSI hard anodized d.o. myself. My tennis elbow can't handle the weight of the cast iron do. Heard good things about it. I seem to find misc. recipes online and print them out so I end up having just what I know I'd fix in a folder. My own cookbook.

    Overlanding ~ When a Black Cat Crosses Your Path

    Some trips just seem to be .... if it can go wrong, it does. It make you really appreciate those trips when it all goes right. Making the best of any situation is a life lesson that my kids learned long ago and always find that silver lining. Hopefully everything will get fixed and you...

    Day trip food storage

    If you are talking non-fridge stuff, we use good old rubbermaid tubs with lids. Used them for many years and so many sizes available.

    Anyone try one of these before? Rhino-Rack Foxwing Car Awning 31101

    We have two on the trailer we purchased from Skersfan. It gives full coverage this way. His direct orders were to take very good care of it and to stake them down no matter what. He said they can withstand all most anything if staked down correctly. He also sent stakes long enough to kill...

    Elk Mountains, CO- Finally

    Nice photos. Nice to see the difference as we've also never gone to Elk Mtns. I'd be concerned while pulling our off road trailer on those snow closures. Did you have to back up until you turned around on those ?

    Moby1 owners?

    .... And Expo East people would be ??? Not customers if they never get to see them. Disappointing, as we really wanted to see them also.
