Look for a DoubleCab Tundra if possible, their is enough room in the rear seat for a human, and you get a decent sized box. A few suspensions tweaks (you can choose how economical or gonzo you really want to get), and you'll be just fine. Fully loaded for adventure, we are running about 2000...
Firestone airbags on cradles on my Tundra, with a Four Wheel Camper. I've upgraded the leaf springs so I just have the airbags at lower psi's to assist with heavier loads. Run the airbags separately, so you can use them to fine tune your camper level when camping.
Well, I don't know how my experience specifically relates to "overlanding", but I will say that I have been purchasing and installing AGM batteries in power mobility equipment, and servicing power mobility equipment, for over 25 years now, and their is absolutely no question their is a...
I guess everyone's opinions are just that, so here's my anecdotal one. I currently own a 2014 Tundra which carries a Four Wheel Camper full time and has been taken over thousands of miles of rough roads (Dempster Hwy, etc) and in the past 4 years the truck has not let me down once. Power from...
I have nothing to add, other than nice rig. I've been poking aorund for an F-450 and Northern Lite camper combination for a little while now, and Imp retty sure I noticed that camper on the online classifieds here in Canada a couple months ago. Pretty nice, enjoy the trips
Interesting feedback on the truck seats. As funny and simple as it sounds, seating is close to #1 on my list when looking for the next truck. We tend to drive big miles, and our next setup will be looking to be driven even longer miles, and seating for me is so important. I'm not quite as tall...
Tundra with a Four Wheel Camper on full time. I have 35" E-Rated Toyo ATII Extreme's and I keep them at 55psi. When we hit gravel roads I will sometimes air down to 35psi (if I'm not too lazy to stop). I have not taken them down below 30psi with the camper on, and seem to have good traction...
Thanks again. Yes, cabin fever leads to arguing technicalities pretty quickly. At least it seems to stay pretty civil here. I'm curious if you have thoughts on the difference in payload between the original dually setup, and the newer super singles. If' you've chatted with anyone with...
I've been poking around at F-450's and I was surprised by the number of people that picked an F-450 over and F-350 daully solely for the benefit of the tighter turning radius.
July 2018, we were waiting at the Salmon Glacier viewpoint for the fog to clear so we could see the Glacier. I got bored of standing there like a tourist and wandered across the dirt road and walked right into Middle Earth.
Our battery supplier here in BC says orders to RV dealers are insane, about the busiest he has ever been. I was also chatting with a local RV dealer a couple weeks ago, their lot is bare, they've sold everything they have and can get their hands on. They are advertising to place deposits on...
We use our furnace in the Hawk all the time (and will be this weekend for sure). Its one of the reasons we moved up from having a rooftop tent, the ability to extend our camping season and camp comfortably in inclement weather. I have a 3-way fridge, and run it on propane all the time (except...
