    What do you use to store all your gear?

    For soft, bulky items such as my RTT annex, floor savers, awning extensions, sleeping bags, pillows, and even clothes I use the North Face Basecamp duffles. I’ve had various sizes of them for years and they’ve never let me down. They’re not waterproof, but I’ve had them strapped to the roof rack...

    What do you use to store all your gear?

    I'm considering an aluminum case to use as a pantry box for my camp kitchen. The tallest item in my kit will be 12" and I'm thinking somewhere between 40-60 liters volume should suffice. I'm looking at these two boxes...

    Thanks! I thought that might be the one you used, but wanted to confirm.

    Show Me Your Chuckboxes/Camp Kitchen Setups

    Where can I find a paper towel holder like this? I just got a King Charles chuck box and this would work perfect!

    Kansas Members??

    Let me know if you want to hit some trails and camp. Even if it's just county roads, I'm game.

    Lets See Your Solar Setups For Camping

    I was going to ask this! I didn't want to assume that the batteries charge from the 7-wire plug. Luckily, the Land Rover kills power to the trailer if the ignition is in the off position, so I don't have to worry about draining the tow rig. Thanks so much for taking the time with your "long...

    Any Ketogenic “Keto“ Overlanders?

    My wife and I have been following the Ketogenic WOE since Oct. 2017, but we haven't camped since we've been on Keto. I'll be following this thread for more info on following Keto while overlanding.

    Lets See Your Solar Setups For Camping

    I actually have about 24" of rack space in front of my RTT where a permanently mounted panel would be perfect. I may end up getting one of these Overlandsolar panels: https://overlandsolar.com/collections/off-grid-cabin-solar/products/100-watt-sunpower-panel-osm100 The ability to charge my...

    Lets See Your Solar Setups For Camping

    Road, I think you may have already answered my question, but I was wondering about if your panel has it's own charge controller. From what I'm reading here, you bypassed the panel's controller and used the Zamp on your XV-2. I figured I would ask you , since we've got similar setups. I'm on the...

    Kansas Members??

    I thought that was odd myself! Oh well, I usually end up traveling West towards the Rockies anyway, or East to the Ozarks. I'm always up for a meetup; I live in Lenexa.

    XVenture XV-2 Expedition Trailer

    I've added matching rims and tires with my tow rig. I'm using 18" PD1881 Compomotive wheels for Land Rover 5X120 with Goodyear Duratrac 265/65/R18 tires. Mounting the 5X120 rims required wheel adapters to convert from 6X5.5" to 5X120, which is a story unto itself. Let's just say that after...

    XVenture XV-2 Expedition Trailer

    Thanks Road! I'll be updating this thread with pics and asking for advice along the way! I love the idea of a XV-2 meetup somewhere!

    XVenture XV-2 Expedition Trailer

    My wife and I have been drooling over the XVenture XV-2 trailers from Schutt Industries for years. We finally decided to pull the trigger and make the purchase. I ended up getting a great deal on a trailer that was used as a demo model. Here's the specs: 2017 XV-2 Deluxe Plus Package 22-Gallon...

    Member Introductions *NEW MEMBERS INTRODUCE YOURSELF*

    I hope to see you there! We will probably hunt up a few gentle trails when we are there. Schnebly Hill Road is always a good one, very scenic.

    Member Introductions *NEW MEMBERS INTRODUCE YOURSELF*

    Long time lurker that finally joined up! I've been wheeling for years in Jeep, Hummer, and Land Rover. Finally settled into Overlanding, which I find much more enjoyable than rock crawling or mudding. I'm signed up for Overland Expo West in May 2018 and I will be bringing my 2011 LR4 and 2017...
