I think only the 3000-series Bigfoots used honeycomb core material. The current ones are just wood-reinforced chopped strand mat like everything else. Oliver does use some honeycomb core in the...

Looks like it should work reasonably well. Kind of a compromise between a single plastic sheet (easy to transport, poor wind resistance, poor insulation) and foam (hard to transport, good wind...

Sale still pending - potential buyer is remote, so actually closing will take a while, but it's likely sold.

I think that's actually a modified clone rather than a gutted Casita. Their site has photos of them using a Casita with slight modification to the roof ridge as a buck to make their mold, and the...

Nothing's unbreakable, so lock security in practice is measured in minutes and noise. An angle grinder will open basically any lock eventually, but it might take 30 minutes of horrific screeching...

You'll need to find out the Voc and Isc ratings on the panel specifically and compare that to the Jackery's limits.

Solar panels are weird, in that they don't output a fixed voltage exactly. ...

I have/had a similar setup to this in my 19 and was really happy with it.

Technically the Victron will play OKish with the WFCO, but you're better off with just the Victron. The Multiplus might...

The general principle is pretty solid, but I'd make a few changes. Similar to patching drywall, start by cutting a neat even rectangle around the jagged hole.
You can probably put a larger sheet...

Honestly, I'd say the gray tank drain speed is fairly average for an RV. It's similar to my Bigfoot. The black tank in the E19 is mounted high and has a particularly direct path to the drain, so it...

With that much damage, I'd consider just replacing the tank.

Otherwise, definitely stick with plastic welding over adhesive. I think the tanks are HDPE rather than polypropylene, which is even...

The Bigfoot is nice, but not as much nicer as I expected given the price. The Escape is definitely a better value. The Bigfoot's built heavier-duty overall and with a lot more space and features,...

Not sure on tongue weight - I haven't measured. Overall probably slightly higher than stock battery location. More total weight, but closer to the axles. Batteries are located in the...

Oooh, that looks really interesting. Especially for smaller TTs where a constant 11500BTU causes wild temp swings. Seems like it's not made for the US market, though. 220V and 50Hz. Maybe it'll...

I think something got miscommunicated somewhere. "Revo 3" is a Bridgestone tire and not Hankook.

The Defender LTX are more highway truck tires vs the more all-terrain Revo 3s. They'll probably...

The AP/Mopeka ultrasonic on that list also legitimately works, though I hear it can be a bit finicky in terms of placement/shimming. Expensive and needs batteries, too, but better an expensive gauge...

I put foil-backed foam under the bed. Not sure if it ended up making much of a difference - probably too thin of foam to really help.

I also stuck reflectix panels over the windows. Mostly to...

I think they're not quite as robustly-constructed as the Battleborns, but at that price I think it's worth the gamble. Nice that they're even lighter, too.
