You almost had me convinced, but then I talked to someone that told me that they will never be right electrically and they will break down electrically a lot. Has anyone here had a lot of problems or no problems with them? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

All, I am looking at building a 5 ton overland camper setup. At this point I have narrowed my search to two options. I plan to drive long distances, carry a lot of supplies, and go off-road. I am on a budget and plan to do most of my own work. Reliability is my highest priority...
