  1. DRAX

    Heading back to Colorado (San Juans again, but open to other areas) this summer, looking for new places to check out/camp.

    I'll preface by saying we're obviously going to explore areas that look cool/interesting as that is part of overlanding, so I'm not necessarily looking for exact destinations but general areas/roads that are worth checking out. We'll be heading out there probably mid-July or early August. Our...

    I wish I could! :) We're still getting things organized, I'm sure I'll make it out for at least an overnight shakedown trip sometime soon though.

    New trailer arrived over the weekend, it's still all new and clean. I want to get out and use it NOW.

    New England coastal route/camping? (NY -> ME)

    Thanks, will do! That is definitely a beautiful route as we drove it from Saco to Ellsworth in 2019 when we visited Acadia NP. We love the Maine coast (and the inland areas that we visited), personally the coast of Maine is one of my want-to-live-there destinations but I don't think I'll be...

    Thanks, that's what I thought.

    New England coastal route/camping? (NY -> ME)

    We're finally getting around to deciding where to go this summer. My daughter is missing the ocean, my wife wants to see the Statue of Liberty since we didn't make it last time we were over that direction, and I'm wanting dispersed camping and staying away from busy campgrounds. I've been told...

    Towing/tongue weight

    It sounds like you're looking at an aftermarket hitch? If so, the only thing that matters is that the hitch is rated for at least what the vehicle itself is rated for. The hitch rating is not telling you how much you can tow or what you max tongue weight is or what your vehicle's payload...

    Off Grid Trailers (OGT) brand Owner's Thread

    First big trip will be to Overland Expo West, other than that just some shakedown overnighters here and there. Then this summer who knows, seems like we'll have to vote on going back to Colorado or Maine. I haven't checked out what Maine has to offer for dispersed camping yet, though.

    Off Grid Trailers (OGT) brand Owner's Thread

    I would think/expect that brand promotion wouldn't be allowed, like if the folks at OGT came on here trying to get people to buy their trailers then that would be a no-no and I'd agree with that. While I'm here, my OGT Pando 2.0 shipped today and should be here Sunday or Monday. To say I'm...

    How do I Plan for a Year-Long Roadtrip?!

    If I were going to do a year-long trip or go full-time then I would form a rough plan for where I want to go, the time of year for each area, etc and then figure out the gear I need to be comfortable for the typical climates but also be able to handle extreme cold snaps or heat (survival mode)...

    Off Grid Trailers (OGT) brand Owner's Thread

    I don't see why not, that falls in line with that this subforum is for. Discussing factory-built, not homemade, trailers. This singular thread is for OB forum members to discuss OGT's trailers. Seems like the most relevant location on these forums for such a thread, no? :) If not then there...

    Off Grid Trailers (OGT) brand Owner's Thread

    Um, this subforum is specifically for factory-manufactured trailer discussions, Off Grid Trailers is a brand of factory-manufactured trailers. Your post is a bit nonsensical given the context of this thread and where it was posted.

    Off Grid Trailers (OGT) brand Owner's Thread

    Subject could be updated to state "Off Grid Trailers (OGT) brand Owner's Thread" and maybe update the original post to clarify. I get what you're saying, though, and it's understandable for folks that don't know this is a brand, so some clarification wouldn't be unreasonable.

    Off Grid Trailers (OGT) brand Owner's Thread

    Cool trailer, however this thread is for Off Grid Trailers (OGT) brand trailers, not "off-grid trailer" category.

    What's your campfire in fire season or no campfire areas?

    Ultimately, you need to determine what is freezing and causing your low flow problem. If the regulator is freezing then the higher flow from a 5LB tank won't matter (yes, they can have a higher flow rate due to the larger valve and orifice). If the problem is that the "high" flow rate from the...

    Nitrogen "Blend"

    It actually isn't more temp stable than air, "air" and nitrogen expand and contract the same with temperature changes, what makes the difference is what was mentioned previously; Moisture content inside the tire. If you had 2 tires, one with 100% dry nitrogen and one with 100% dry air, with no...

    Ham radio

    @WAA96 You mentioned safety as one of the reasons for having a radio, and while having multiple methods of communication available (cell, ham/GMRS) is always a good idea those won't do you any good if there's no signal or nobody on the other end to pick up your transmission. If safety while out...

    OB number

    Also, just to be clear, joining the forums doesn't make you a member. You get your number when you pay for an OB membership. It can be a little confusing for new members because there are 2 types of members; Forum members and OB members.
