Thanks! Indeed, everything is a compromise and sometimes it takes a couple of attempts to zero in on a setup that should work the best for someone. This trailer is the biggest purchase we've made for something we've never seen in person, only going on what we've heard from other owners...

Things are getting real now, just got the final invoice email today and have 2 weeks to get them the money. Eek! Starting to get pretty dang excited, though. Being self-contained with easy setup and the ability to go "anywhere" has me all antsy. For me, I think this will turn out to be the...

Sounds like the OP is wanting to use VoIP modes to talk back to home? The other options would be communicating through something like the WIN System (linked repeaters), or maybe even something like EchoLink? Specifically asking for "internet connected repeaters" doesn't say what service...

The only problem with that is that phone/tablet cameras take such good pictures and make it so easy to share them that it's hard to convince them to use a dedicated camera. Honestly, our best solution to the issue is to just go places where there's no cell service so she's forced to put her...

Welcome to OB! Might I suggest taking some time to become familiar with the forums and the different sub-forums. In this case, you'll find a wealth of information in the Communications section. https://www.overlandbound.com/forums/forums/overland-communications.65/

I must say, it's pretty exciting to think that we should be getting our trailer in about 2 months. Maybe it's just me, but crossing over into the new year and it no longer being "next year" that we'll be getting the trailer makes it feel much sooner. haha

Will be following your progress/discussion on this. My wife and I plan to full-time (or do some very extended trips) in a couple of years or so, but we'll be going the route of an off-road trailer. We thought about the 4WD ambulance or similar route as well as the pop-up truck camper, but what...

IIRC, this YouTube video is about the truck in your first pic. I'm assuming you've watched it already, but if not then this will give you some insight into that build and the owners.

Yeah, I can see being in Oregon that it would suck not being able to camp for that long. Here in Illinois the winters and terrain aren't exactly conducive to camping and we have to travel a little bit to get anywhere good, plus it gets super cold here, so honestly we're not missing out on too...

We got our first build delay of 3 weeks earlier this month, so now the trailer is estimated to be built the last week of Feb. That both sucks and is fine, we weren't planning on getting the trailer until March or April anyway so it's still sooner than anticipated but also sucks because I'm...

We put our order in for an Off Grid Trailer "Pando 2.0" back in August and expect to take delivery around March. That was after looking into the Meaner Bean, the composite Teton-X, and the Boreas XT.

Just paid the confirmation fee today to lock us into the production schedule, estimated build completion date is Feb 4, 2022 but delays are likely/expected as supply chain issues remain and I see folks having their builds delayed by 5 weeks recently.

Oh, we put our order in just shy of a month ago. I knew the longer I waited the longer the wait would be as more orders come in from people wanting a trailer for next season. :)

In the second pic is that...a cracked weld? Looks like a crack right down the center.

Check out one of the Bean trailers. Meaner Bean - Off-Road Trailers | Teardrop Trailers Made in Utah | Bean Trailer You may have to end up mounting an RTT on top to fit everyone comfortably, but I think you're going to have a hard time finding something that checks all the boxes and comes in...

I would start looking at teardrop-type trailers and avoid any mass-produced trailers as they simply aren't durable. There are also larger off-road trailers from companies like Black Series. Just be prepared to pay a pretty penny for a durable off-road trailer, they come at a price because...

Looks like this was posted before it was complete? No links and an incomplete sentence at the end. Whoops!

Looks identical to the Alpicool and Costway fridges available on Amazon.

Well, Starlink is a totally different kind of satellite communications service. It doesn't compete with the services the chipset supports that Apple may end up using. Starlink is for satellite internet access from fixed locations, whereas satellite comms via services like Globalstar (the one...

1500 * 1.25 = 1875Wh / 12 = 156Ah, not including efficiency loss from the inverter itself. So plan on 200Ah. If she thinks she's going to recharge 200Ah via solar in a day then she's going to need a lot of solar. That seems like a HUGE investment just to power a pressure canner for 75...
