An Aside, I've been changing the CVT fluid In my outback every 25000. :thinking:
Mine gets brown and the coolant temperature raises by 10deg in that time.
Changing the fluid reduces coolant temp for several thousand miles before
it starts to creep up.
Good point. My Focus was one of the 5% sold with an old school manual transmission. 3 pedals. Any kind of small car with CVT or conventional auto may need some extra attention.

I guess I don't have a problem with them.

That makes sense we had one come into the shop. They wanted to do some different Windows they said that those little vents weren't enough for air. I believe our Tech Guy ended up passing didn't feel that the door can handle the weight of a window Something about the water stains at the bottom of the door . Of the few that I have seen I like yours is the best you definitely spent the time to do it right

Added the roadhouse tarp to the camping setup. Almost seems to be designed around the CLC teardrop.ImageImageImage

Great looking setup! I want to order my kit soon to have as a winter project. I do have two questions if you don't mind.
Appears you are running wheels, which I plan to do. Can you confirm and comment?
Also, thinking about the galley - can you provide the dimension from the ground to the lip of the top of the galley opening? I also like the cargo carrier for storage but think it may put the galley too high.
Thanks for your help!

The wheels came from etrailer if I remember correctly. 12 inch. Same as stock for the northern tool trailer that they are on. Counter height is probably different than with the CLC trailer. I would not want it any higher or the doors for that matter. You do a lot of things sitting in the doorway on a teardrop. It's hard to put shoes on when your feet are dangling.
