  • Guest, we will be conducting site maintenance August 4th and some downtime is expected. At this time Rally Point and the Member Map will also become an app-only feature for long-term security and stability. A few days after this maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.

Any posts made yesterday on the temporary backup may be missing, so if you created a new post or replied to an...

    Best price on a TemboTusk?

    Anyone bought a TemboTusk Skottle and have a recommendation on the best price retailer? Do Overland Bound members get any sort of discount? @administrator @TemboTusk

    Cricket Trailer

    Deb and I spent eight hours at the Cleveland RV Show yesterday. Some of those places are nicer than our home, and we were in one that the show savings were more than we paid for our house! One of the neater ones we saw was a Cricket Trailer, a really solidly built 1500 pound camper that sets up...

    Ohio Roll-Call!

    Chime in, Ohio members. Let us know where you are, and where you're from. I'm Steve, and I live a ways west of Cleveland. I grew up in west-central Ohio, on my grandfather's farm near Bellefontaine. Deb and I are retired, and now empty-nesters during the school year. We used to car-camp, but...

    Comments and Discussion on the new Overland Bound Landing Page

    Michael, What a surprise to see the new landing page for Overland Bound. That's a very nice layout, and looks professionally done. I realize it is brand new, and a work in progress. I thought the members might use this thread to comment/discuss their opinion, and let you know of any platform...

    Let's talk about the weather...

    A rainy day is the perfect time for a walk in the woods. ~Rachel Carson I'll admit it; I'm a weather geek. Even as a little kid, I made an electronic weather station, and have always had an assortment of rain gauges, thermometers, etc. Here in Ohio, we have four real seasons, and they are all...

    Steve & Deb's Cross-Country Adventure

    I thought I'd move on from my "build" thread, where I've been prepping the Outback to a travel journal. (Prep thread Steve's Cross-Country Subaru Outback"]HERE[/URL]) I'd created a "planning" thread, but we rally haven't done any planning. We leave TOMORROW! :screamcat: A quick re-cap: Our...

    How to change the Overland Bound forum "style"

    The new forum software and format is awesome, and looks great! However, some people are not fans of reading white letters on a dark background. I understand that it fits with the overall look of the Overland Bound theme, but if it bugs you, it can be changed. Current "Dark Responsive" Style...

    How to get rid of the watched thread emails and alerts

    The new forum settings seems to default to automatically "watch" (or follow) any new thread that you start or existing thread that you post in. This is helpful to know when someone else has replied to that thread. However, if you would like to stop getting email notifications and alerts for...

    Steve & Deb's Cross-Country Adventure - Planning

    Our youngest daughter graduated from high school this past spring, and on September 18th, we will be taking her to Seattle for college. Heading out (from Ohio) will be a straight through Interstate trip. Coming back will be exploring as many out-of-the-way places as we can find for anywhere from...

    My Overland Bound Patch Arrived!

    Fantastic quality, and the addition of our member number is above and beyond any other patches I have. This would look great on my textile motorcycle jacket, but pretty inappropriate while riding the Vespa. :blush: I like the Velcro backing, so that I can simply attach additional Velcro to...

    Resolved Things seem to be breaking

    Michael, Over the past week, things seem to be breaking on the forum. - Photos placed with BB Code don't work any more, only displaying the code - Signatures are no longer displaying - The wrench logo is gone, so there's no way to get a list of new posts - Quotes in BB Code show as BB...

    Resolved Can the option to edit threads be toggled on in builds?

    Hey Michael, Can you look t see if there is an option to be able to edit our posts in the "Build" section? I started a thread (#11292) with the intention to edit the first post as I make changes and add photos. But after the post has been up for a short time, it is no longer editable. Thanks...

    What are you using for a fridge/freezer.

    There was such a great response in the portable air thread that I thought I'd ask the same about what fridge/freezer you are using in your travels. I'm sure we'd all love to have a National Luna to keep our burgers cold, but $1500 and up is a lot of dough for many of us. In our family travels...

    Steve's Cross-Country Subaru Outback

    Well, this isn't going to be a typical build thread. I'm not putting together a rig for day trips rock crawling or weekends in the desert. My vehicle is just plain not fit for these type of excursions. I am putting together a vehicle that will be comfortable on hours of Interstate at a time, and...

    What portable air are you using in your rig?

    I'm going to be needing portable air eventually. What units are y'all using, and are you happy with it? Suggestions on what to look for or what to avoid? Thanks, Steve

    Resolved Incomplete Profile?

    As far as I can tell, I have everything filled out in my profile, now also including my member number, as well as a photo. But it says I'm 80% complete. What else is there to fill out? And speaking of the profile, what is the purpose of the questions under "Interests" if they are not available...
