    All you apple fanboys don't realize what you are missing. Get an 8" Samsung Tab with GPS for under 200$. Load the free version (or paid, it's inexpensive) of backcountry navigator and load all the free OSM tiles you want. It will work fantastic no matter where you are, cell service or not. Another advantage is the android tablets supports additional storage, up to 128 GB, with a micro SD card.

    You're right right...I hate being an Apple fan boy. :boom:

    But would it be worth going to spend $200 on a tablet strictly for GPS when I already have a fine iPad that I can spend $100 on for GPS capabilities? God life is hard...

    My mom has an old Garmin she never uses and told me she'd give it to me so I'll try that out maybe...but it's not as cool as a sleek tablet...

    I guess we will find out if it bends when winching, etc. for $800+ in savings I'm willing to find out.

    They do have a corner on the Chinesium market. All the American brands charge way more for it.

    As someone that works with steel every day, I can safely say in this application it won't matter where it came from. I would prefer to see these be all American, but a budget is a budget.

    Sad thing is, we don't...
    In the world of travel trailers (bumper pull or 5th wheel) the frames that are used have substandard steel. There are only two manufactures that use US steel for their frames. There have been multiple trailers where the frames crack and separate due to poor metal quality from China. Arctic Fox uses US steel; cant remember what the other manufacture was.

    I totally agree! Pay for it once, not twice or more to save a few bucks at the start and only spend more later.
