Hey all, it's been quite a while since I've checked in. I'm going to a wedding in California near the end of January and plan on taking my time heading back to Colorado. I still have my little red cargo trailer that I'll be traveling in ( it's held up to well over 30,000 miles of travel now) I'd...

So Bob has a thread going in the Misc Vehicle section about the Wee Roll trailers. Wondering about the value of buying a partially finished cargo trailer especially for people who can not finish there own due to lack of skills, physical limitations or other reasons. It got me thinking. Is there...

I'm not crazy about the Promaster chassis, or some of the construction like fiberglass insulation. But I really like the layout of this van. Are the Promasters really wide enough for a 6' person to sleep sideways? Or did they just use scaled to size models to show it off? ...

Well, sometimes life just happens and you have to roll with the punches for awhile. First, a couple weeks ago my wife was hit by a hit and run driver. She was amazingly calm when she called me, and thankfully unhurt. When I got there her Ford Escape was spun backwards in the ditch with the whole...

My wife was watching a cooking show the other day, and I happened to catch a portion where the cook made a steak rub using equal parts ground coffee, seasoned salt, and white sugar. It was so simple I thought even I can do that! I tried it the other night with some cheap flank steaks that were...

So quite a while back Bob asked if I'd do a review of my Kifaru Tipi. I had planned to do it right away, and I could give you all a lot of excuses, but you know what they say about excuses - something about babies an diapers and what they are full of! So any way, here we go.  My Kifaru is the 8...

With all the posts on shuttle bus designs, I thought some might be interested in the bus in the link. http://tinyhousetalk.com/1996-gmc-bluebird-bus-conversion/ Some of the ideas could probably work in the larger step vans also. Most of us probably can't afford to hire a "decor designer" and...

So, just in case you don't think you can haul enough weight on a medium dual sport to take a long trip - I weigh about 230 lbs, and in that box are the hubs and new rotors for my son's F250 4x4. I estimate they weigh 150 lbs. With that much weight up high it was a little wobbly stop and go at...

So I've been back from RTR for a week now. I had quite a few people there want to take a gander at my trailer, so I thought I'd finely get off my duff and post a thread about  it. I make no claim as to it being any better or worse than anyone else's It's just an idea I had and so far I've been...
