We expect our K to be delivered early August. I ordered granite too (Mecca interior) and I agree the regular bumpers look more rugged and probably absorb a bump without finish damage better. I...

Congrats on your ordered GL wincrasher.

We just ordered today a "regular" 59K today. That said, I am very impressed with how Winnebago has tackled the Lithium issue. They frankly seem to be...

Thanks to Mat Mobile, I called the guys at VanCompass a bit ago and they shared with me some very helpful and cool news about lifting a Promaster.

Been Looking for This

Very cool. I have been looking for something like this - I will investigate.

Kinda There

What we talked about is ordering a Travato and seeing how it goes. Does it get us to 90% of the trailheads we want to hike or ride? Or does it turn out to be more like 60%? Or perhaps 95%?

How...

I have not looked into Overland Sprinter Vans and thanks for the link. They look awesome, I shudder to think of the costs. But they, like Outside Vans, ARV and some of the other "customs" look...

A Rare In The Middle

We took a long test drive in a Travato and I am actually one of the rare in the middle people regarding the Promaster driving position. No doubt I like the Sprinter seat and driving position better. ...

Looking for soft roading, NOT off-roading

Good tips and advice here. I just want to clarify that we are seeking to get to mountain biking and hiking trailheads. We have no desire or intention to do any kind of hard core off-roading or four...
