    Megatron - New turnkey expedition vehicle from Supertramp, Elevation Off Grid (EOG) and Liquid Spring

    Really curious about dimensions, and interior of the habitat buildout. It looks to be reasonably shorter (a good thing) than other F550 based offerings.... I also wonder about the front glass. Forest roads would always be a concern, and not to underestimate how much stuff gets thrown up...

    Rec-Specialties Moab - At Overland Expo East 2023

    Looks like there is an interesting trend of builders creating RV's that kind of look like and have some functionality of an Overlander, but really aren't engineered for the task (i.e. GRID, RexRover, maybe Truckhouse, etc...) Unfortunately they are also starting to creep into the Overlander...

    StoryTeller Overland GXV Hilt

    I am always curious about Liquid Springs vs Kelderman. What are the tradeoffs and benefits between the two? It sure seems like it would be easier to repair Kelderman in the field rather than a hydraulic based system...

    EOG 550 Loki v Earthroamer

    Is anyone considering the GRID offering out of Canada? Aluminum shell....and no idea on how it's mounted...but interesting design. Grid Truck Campers (gridtrucks.us)

    RexRover... another 1/2 ton based big luxury overland camper rig (F150) for $350k

    Besides the GVWR concerns, the amenities you get with a SuperCab F150 aren't as nice as a SuperCab F250/350. (Just thinking about the freeway miles part of a trip...)

    Wilderness Vans - GRID chassis cab

    Overland Explorer Vehicles ( HOME - Overland Explorer Vehicles ) is building a Summit model that is akin to this GRID design. Its a bit less finished and uses composite panels instead of the aluminum frame, but similar size and functionality.

    Wilderness Vans - GRID chassis cab

    Good point. $280K Candian is $207K US as of this morning. Wonder what import/export fees would be?

    How do you handle your high-mounted spare?

    Anyone consider a sailboat boom vang? They are designed to deal with tremendous pull and usually have a stop built in so when you are cranking on it is less likely to drop? Just a thought... Medium Boom Vang | West Marine

    Port Renfrew Winter 2022 Camping Trip

    Great post! I stumbled upon Point Renfrew with some buddies in the 80s and have not been back in 30+ years...it was awesome then and looks just as wild and worthwhile to visit again. Thanks for reminding me of this treasure :) I think it is gone now, but there was this harrowing suspension...

    Total Composites Slide In Camper Kits

    I wonder if the 8ft version would counter balance the N/S bed extended cabover additional weight?
