Starlink prices vary wildly. I was just in Borneo and one our guides had his house via Starlink. His cost was around $50 USD per month. So it's about pure ability to pay and competitive market. I don't have a problem with that.

Why not a 2500? Generally speaking the $$ aren't that different but the hardware you get is. On a rainy weekend that extra space will be huge. Regardless the turning radius/break over etc is a huge concern if you go on tight roads. My vote is a 2500 with 8' and call it a day. But it's not...

This spec is huge! Average 25W, Snow Melt 60W 12-48V 60W USB PD 100W+ (with Starlink USB-C to Barrel Jack Cable Accessory) no more 48v to 12v BS to manage around.

100% agreed on adding power lines, what I think needs to happen is better range which needs different battery chemistries. We talk about large fuel tanks to get longer range. Same needs to happen for batteries. IE ~400 mile range is fine but that's ideal super clean range. Not some 5MPH...

I wouldn't expect much traffic here for Fisker. It's a mall hauler not a "real" truck. Similar to a Explorer/Atlas etc in use case. Having said that capital (or more correctly servicing that capital) has got a lot harder to get and keep in the last year. Lots of companies that relied on...

Sounds like a fantastic trip. I assume the suspension bridge is Lynn Canyon and not Capilano? (pick the former not the latter). Capilano is a tourist trap, Lynn Canyon is every bit as beautiful and free.

One could argue that EarthCruiser would have filled all your operational needs above and from the outside looking in, also the financial warranty point. So as Waveslider noted, we as outsiders can't make any real assessments. 2 months ago I would have said EC was stable and would survive...

I use lists for this. Plan on PC and get rough drive times. Then on the day of, use my phone to plan the actual route with the stops. otherwise Google gets all fussy and messy. Easier to plan start to big break (lunch or hike etc) then the next stop(s). only challenge is you have to have...

I tend to use google maps but save waypoints on their own lists. You can have 100s of waypoints on a list then build a day by day on the day of and see traffic/construction etc. You can share lists with others then they build based on waypoint order in their device of choice. you can also...

The irony of using a Mr. Bean gif. Rowan Atkinson is apparently a huge Land Rover guy. Tells a story of picking up parts and being asked does he know he look a lot like that guy who plays Mr Bean :)

I live in Merino wool. Light, never stinks. Lasts forever. But $75 for a t shirt does hurt. Darn Tough for socks. 19 days in Madagascar- 1 pair of socks and 2 underwear. No stink for real.

If you have the $$ Unicat has a few options :D There is one with a SxS in a garage that lowers down like an elevator. The challenge with length vs people space vs toy space is a series of big compromises. Do I want my bed to smell like fuel? Is my road into the area so bad that a trailer...

I don't think you'll regret a 1ton chassis vs a Tundra. Regardless of logo on the grill. Who's your best local dealer? Ford or Dodge/Ram? Around here the Ram dealers are melting away and really only Ford is seamingly sticking around. Seems all the Dodge lots are becoming condos. Ford...

EarthCruiser has only built just over 100 or so units in North America. EarthRoamer much more but not 1000's. It's not like these things roll off assembly lines by the dozen every day. If I'm a buyer at that level, I'm going to be pretty detailed in my purchase. Part of that is the financial...

Interesting discussion on order of tool choice. Reminded me of my now ancient life guard training: Reach: lay down and reach for the person Throw: toss a line/ring/recovery to the person Row: take a boat/sling/and don't get wet yet Go: Finally get wet and swim Tow: that one is obvious. Point...

I get the deck plating removal. But how often when you travel now, have you felt the need to remove the habitat? I get it at home when duty calls etc. But 500 -> 5000 miles from home? Could you not simply just remove the decking and use nothing while the habitat is on? Seems the least...

I spent time in one Friday. Front seating is very flexible. Quite comfortable and as long as your kids won’t kick they can’t touch ;)

Go find a Winnebago Solis 59P and see if you envision living in that small a space with kids when it's wet and raining. Not saying you can't or shouldn't but that's not a lot of space to move or have privacy on those days like today. If you will be outside more than inside then sure, people...

I googled a bunch but couldn’t find anything. Anybody got a link or video of a Sprinter 3500 chassis being flexed? You see lots of MAN or DAF or Stevenson etc, but I can’t seem to find a Sprinter cut away. I’m looking at the new Sprinter based Winnibago Ekko but have questions on how flexy...

Umm, as an ex 86.5 CJ7 owner and a 97 TJ owner…. It’s not the same. TJ rides so much better. But I could sit in the CJ engine bay and do work. TJ is black box magic, the CJ is old school carb. TJ rides so much better but it’s still a Wrangler - short wheelbase, high clearance fun truck. The...
