It's getting so that everything we use does that, and we are not going to get our shit together to stop it.

Needs some kind of guard shirly, so it doesn't get shot blasted from that wheel?
I have a 1/4" aluminum plate that goes between the wheel and it. It's in front of the wheel, so the blast should be minimal.
The nailer I rented (battery powered Makita) wouldn't drive the nails flush. I tried fucking with it, both batteries were charged. WTF. I have to glue most of it since you can't nail into aluminum.

Cool!
I've always wanted a vehicle to go camping just on the other side of town!
That’s only because it’s E-transit based. A saleable one would have at least 200 miles of range.108 mile range

that plastic spigot still looks like a hassle in waiting. They make metal ones.
You know, metal
pull the nails back and put the gun over the nail and hit it again. At least that works on my framing nailer.

The steering box and pitman arm were the only OG parts left and they have now been swapped out. I might even have the wheel centered (it was about 10 minutes of eft of center before).
My rear bump stops are riveted in, so I have to grind those off to do the rear bags. HUGE pain in my ass. "2 hour install" not with rivets.

Bagged the back and put the fills in a convenient spot. Easy reach from either the truck battery or the house battery. I really like this Smitybuilt compressor, too.
Pretty sure this trip is the last for our trailer. 8 good years. Lot of stuff is trashed. Hopefully $5k.
The steering box is an epic fail. I think I found an OE replacement and ordered a new steering shaft. Too much angle on the u joint makes for awful steering.
I was told the average life span was 80 trips for most trailers. If I get 80 out of mine, I will consider it a success.
This can't be true... can it??
Before shits falling apart anyway, that's just what a guy at work was talking about. I'd be curious how many trips my in-laws trailer has done.
Crunches the numbers of 80 hotel rooms minus camper minus truck to tow camper, confirms his suspicion
Individual results may vary
ETA: I suppose 80 trips is most likely for the piece of shit trailers made in Elkhart IN.
This was the quick math I also did, and arrived at the same conclusion.
Only $125k for an eRV

Other than the diesel engine in mine, it's otherwise all electric. But I don't have 2 TV's.
All-Electric RV Coast Model 1 Goes Into Production, Rebrands as the 'Tesla of Campers'
Introduced earlier this year, the Coast will be offered as two different models. Model 1 is now in production and totally lives up to the initial hype

80 trips though, not nights, so rough maths of 80*5*150=$60kThis was the quick math I also did, and arrived at the same conclusion.
I blame @Toshi for not coming in here to crunch the numbers, he must be actually doing some work
What kind of pauper are you? How can you watch Fox news and Newsmax at the same time while camping at the KOA?
can I fill it full of tannerite and shoot at it for four?
parked in a specific neighborhood in jackson?
Absolutely.
Cash, no Venmo.
I’ll have to do a few things first with an angle grinder, though.
I learned a thing or two in Hawaii.

Can we just trade straight up?
You still have to burn the bitch down, though. I’ll be filming on the KTM with a go-pro.

LOL! I am pretty sure our 2, 7000 mile road trips might count for more than "1 trip"
tighty whitey tackle power too
Got the water heater mounted and as soon as I hooked it up, my water pump stopped working. So need to troubleshoot that and maybe get this bitch tested this weekend.
<edit> The power wire slipped off the switch, so I squeezed the connector to make it snug. Totally works. It does take a couple seconds for the hot water but it's pretty damn instant.

Yeah I use my camper 80 nights a year. My last camper was used at that rate for 12 years with 7or 8 5000 mile trips tossed in. It all depends on which MFG you buy from and how well you maintain all the seams.

Hybrid does seem like the way to go with a camper van and limited range:
Not only does the Multivan concept camper promise 31 miles (50 km) of all-electric driving for cleaner, emission-less campground and city navigation.
