That burger looks good, but that horizon is magnificent! Well done on all counts!

Do not forget Inka https://forum.expeditionportal.com/threads/issues-with-inka-outdoors.195198/

Oh, there is a market for these. Probably a small overlap of excess cash and excess testosterone, but there must be a few. "Dude, my big brother can beat up your big brother!" "No way! But so what, my dog can shred your dog in a fight." "Get real. Anyway, my dad can kick your dad's ass!" "FO...

From their site; "Backroads Overland Co. was started with the intent to better balance the value for customers looking to get out doors with the help of an overland camping trailer. We were driven to turn out a top quality product for a much greater value. We are so passionate about the...

That is a pretty awesome blue, but in the earth-toned wilderness of the real outdoors it would be just... wrong. In my opinion.

I disagree. I think it should go the other way. Either that or the lowest part should be inside. :p

Very ambitious! Glad to see that you planned for some sleep in Fresno on July 15! :ROFLMAO: I'll keep an eye out on July 10 in Vancouver: I live near the Steam Clock. Safe travels!

This does not seem to fully fit the symptoms, but if it is a manual transmission, there is a safety switch that won't allow the starter to engage unless the clutch is depressed, even if it is not in gear. I had that switch fail and it took forever for the dealer to diagnose it. All the electrics...

That is such an awesome story, @phnttom thanks for taking the time to write , edit and share! Reading the excitement in your narrative reminded me of my own teardrop (squareback) purchase, and interactions with Dale, even though I didn't buy one of his trailers. I have followed your posts with...

Sweet combo!And a pretty awesome backdrop. Well played!

Those are awesome looking wheels! I bet they will look amazing on a sage/grey/green trailer!

This idea doesn't quite fit the "turn key" objective, but usually the perfect trailer does not exist, so there may need to be a compromise somewhere... Hiker Trailer's square-back trailers are value-priced (in my opinion; I'm a satisfied owner of a Mid-Range 5x8). Using a bare-bones trailer as a...

I recommend calling your credit card company and giving them the details. I did that with Amex before I put a deposit on a custom trailer in mid 2017, before the Inka and Moby disasters, to avoid those very scenarios. My builder even said they would charge extra to put it on a card, but when I...

I have to agree. I can easily picture this thing hitting a mild bump, the suspension or the floor collapsing on one side, the trailer tipping over to that side, taking the tow vehicle with it, and spilling a huge mess all over the road. I'm no expert but I can easily see your trailer weighing...

I have a Hiker Mid-range that I picked up last May. I'm no overlanding expert and this is my first trailer, so I don't have a lot to compare it with. Nonetheless, here are my observations: - Hikers are very simple strong plywood boxes on a decent frames. Perfect for my needs, but not insulated...

Where is "here?" Looks like a fantastic spot. Foreground feels like a lake, the ferry hints of ocean.

Thank you very much for the update! I'm so glad you got your deposit covered. I have been following this thread closely, not because I have a horse in this race but because a couple of years ago I used a credit card to put a deposit on a trailer for this very reason. It was before the Inka...

My first trip with my Hiker Mid-Range 5x8. China Beach Campground, Juan De Fuca Provincial Park, Vancouver Island BC.

I have been contemplating this, even though I don't have a Foxwing yet. I found a dealer in Canada that will import the Drifta poles: Kakadu Camping www.kakaducamping.com Matt seems to be a good guy, why not contact him? I also have a workaround in mind to modify the poles that come with the...

So I ended up getting the Gas One 3900 dual fuel. I got it at a reasonable price for Canada. I liked the high BTU's and ability to pop in a butane canister in a pinch (i.e. failure to plan = empty propane tank, or too lazy to connect the hose in crappy weather...). Partner eventually offered...
