    Smittybilt Overland XL RTT-New product.

    Not sure what the complaints are about the ladder but it's fine. Not sure what an upgrade would be or what it would accomplish. IIRC, i have read that rungs can be hard on bare feet? Maybe a little padding of some sort for bare feet? I did buy some skid tape but haven't applied it to the rungs...

    "TrailTop" modular trailer topper building components

    corners & 8' footers would be my first preference but also being able to incorporate 30° and 60° angles would be great too. so for me being able to custom design around separate pieces would be awesome. I'm more interested in the trail dog type ground up vs. a tub start thanks again for keeping...

    "TrailTop" modular trailer topper building components

    "In other news... I've been contacted recently by two parties who have expressed interest in bringing the TrailTop components to market. Neither has fiberglass manufacturing experience so they'd be outsourcing the molding work to a fiberglass shop; both have expressed interest in packaging...

    portable propane BBQ?

    picked up a Blackstone 22" griddle set from Walmart this summer and we love it. cook just about everything on it, Japanese steakhouse to waffle House and everything in between. Walmart has the 22 with hood and stand for a great price. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

    Father and Son’s Off Road Expedition (Overland) trailer build v2.0

    whatcha gonna use seams? roof and side wall. trim over silicone caulk? I can never find the trim seal piece that I see on nicely done trailers. I know it's probably a standard rv product or maybe custom by shop. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

    Replica Pelican Trekpak drawer organizers: DIY

    I do like the skudo material being a bit sturdier & ridged than regular coraplast. Coraplast will probably be just fine and alot easier to source. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    I'm referring to a simple 5k -8k btu home window units (~$100+) with a sheet metal fabbed shroud with supply/return flex duct or semi perm mounted unit thru the wall that you can slide in when needed. Of course, they run by genny or shore but they're super cheap esp. end of season and some...

    Aluminum Framed Trailer vs Wood

    I have zero experience but I've heard complaints about roof mounted a/c units and the noise levels. Personally fond of separate standard a/c units (5-10k btu) that are piped into the camper and used as needed. Fall/spring/winter camping just leave it at home. Pretty easy to add ports and duct...
