Spontaneous Trip

thinking about taking a spontaneous trip to get out of town for a few days. Things are bothering me. Anyways, anyone have any ideas on how to camp in the back of the truck without a camper or a tent? Not looking to spend much money besides gas.

Also, it has been exactly 5189 miles since my last oil change. Oil on the dip stick still looks like a dark honey color and not black; shouldn't be a problem with another 1000-1500 hundred miles right? Shouldn't wear down anything... Any opinions?

 

Change oil/filter before you go if you use conventional oil.

 

Yep...plan your spontaneous trip very carefully.

Just joking.

I would change the oil and filter, check tires, fill it up with gas, and go.

 

If you're not worried about security then all you'd really need is some food/water, a bed mat of some kind and a sleeping bag/pillow.

 

Oil change, pillow, matress pad or blow up matress, and your concealed weapon of choice.

 

Plus one blue tarp in case it rains.

Oh, and water. Always have water.

 

Mosquito net and a hammock..

 

I always take a rifle on trips, never know when I might need it and don't put all your assets in one place.

 

FTFY

 

Hell you just need to lean the seat back and get to snoozing in the cab

 

Honestly, your oil should be fine. I would not change oil right before a trip , you want to change it a 1-2 weeks before a long trip so you can check oil levels, leaks, etc.

Other than that, get a camping bed mat for the truck bed, or sleep in the passenger seat reclined or backseat. Highly recommend a firearm if you plan on camping in the truck. Up better safe than sorry.
