We camp at Winterhaven, (north of Yuma on the Calif border) in the desert a lot, love to lay out in the lounger and just enjoy the awesome canopy of stars, we use SkyView to ID things we don't know.

We use the IOS Skyview app, it does the same, very handy when identifying planets or orbital objects.

We have found all manner of trash in campsites over the years, why we boondock so much, seems people who boondock have a better appreciation of nature.

Been to Steam Pipe Wells couple of times, a fun trip and very interesting. And we also pick up all the trash around any place we camp.

I agree, white metal roof for me, I plan on having 'stuff' up there in any case :)

I would think so, shame to waste all of that flat roof space.

If that's the case then VW can wait them out as it will be 3 years before the 1st Scout rolls off the line. Just not renew the contracts, most of them will be aged out by then in any case, and they can be redone to exclude Scout.

I will keep my Traveler Harvester res for now, but if tow capacity stays at 5K I will need to go a different direction as I tow to the desert every year.

I drove a low boy for years and yep, chaining up takes the most time, the 5th wheel was easy, back under, attach air lines and 7 pin, and go. (hydraulic 5th) Broke my hand one time when a binder snapped back, got lazy and didn't use my heavy gloves, but I did always use safety straps on the...

Yep, diesel used to be cheeper than gas, until all of the diesel cars & pickups came out and the oil companies decided they could make more money by jacking up the price.

WOW! my new Ford Ranger registration was $450, and USAA ins was $600, that must be some large truck!

UH.... that's what I said, the harvester IS the hybrid version.

Backwards, the Harvester adds 350 miles to a EV range of 150 for a 500 mile total.

One of the main reasons I wanted the Harvester was range towing a 5K lb TT to the desert, so if this isn't changed by launch time I will have to look elsewhere, Ramcharger? Perhaps he just mis-spoke and it will be corrected, I need at least 7K towing.

I have been looking at the AE1 Lightship for switching to a TT after I get my Scout, what a combo that would be!!

I read somewhere it was about 130, but thought that was to large, to maintain full capabilities and roadability as stated it would have to be at least 80KW

The Harvester genset head will be in the 100-130KW range, A generator that size will need it's own trailer to haul. A 10K genset weighing in @ around 150-200 lbs will be a chore to lift, but would get you charged up in a couple hours. But it would use as much gas as the Harvester, take up bed...

A one time $1k road tax for EV's is fair as far as I am concerned, seeing the Fed's won't be getting gas taxes from me. California is going to a Per Mile charge for road Tax, connected tech can report your mileage, cars without the tech will be charged a flat yearly fee.

Won't happen, once tariffs get high enough people will just stop buying anything except for necessities, which will reduce sales tax income, on top of no income tax, and just how do you fund a trillion dollar government without income tax? Some states do it but have very high property and sales...

My Class A is 26', perfect size for 2/3, we have taken it coast to coast twice, northern and gulf routes. When I get the Scout I will sell it and get a 26'TT.
