A pregnant woman and her two sons died from carbon monoxide poisoning inside a camper in Kansas. The McPherson County Sheriff's Office responded to the incident at the Inman Motocross track. The family has set up a GoFundMe page to cover the costs of three funerals.
A basic utility trailer was transformed into a cozy tiny camper for under $1,000, including the purchase price of the trailer. The build used repurposed items and drop cloths on the exterior to keep costs down. The finished product has tile floors, two beds, windows, a kitchen with a sink, and is wired for electricity. It lacks onboard power and a bathroom but is a shockingly inexpensive camper compared to others on the market.
A $1 million Ford F-550-based camper called the 27North Ascender 30A was found abandoned on an off-road trail with a failed rear wheel bearing that caused additional strain on the drivetrain, leading to the factory driveshaft twisting up like a pretzel. The prototype truck was being put head-to-head with a Toyota 4Runner, and the trails were more inline with the 4Runner’s capabilities. The 27North converts dual rear-wheel (dually) F-550s into single rear-wheel trucks, which could reduce the lifespan of wheel bearings. Off-roading a heavy truck puts lots of strain on components, and once stranded, getting it off the trail isn’t easy.
