Truck Camping Photo Thread

Very cool! Very familiar with DC, I was a deputy at Pasco SO.

 

Looks beautiful where you are at compared to pasco county. One day I'll make it west.

 

Yeah, that was me. I have a dog to keep me warm, but why not have the extra comfort of a heated blanket - which, by the way, works amazing! Stick it inside your sleeping bag and you're good to go. The downside is that you need a power source, of course. I am lucky enough to have the GoalZero Yeti 1250 (mostly used for my Keurig, running the Cradlepoint (wifi,) charging gear and some lights while camping) so I just run an extension cord into the tent...

 

Really digging the black at the bottom. Makes me wish I had a white truck.

 

It looks good on any color man. That was an expensive mod. But gurantees no chips in the bottom rocker panels

 

Is that the "Ultra" Line-X ? The site says the Ultra is smoother than the regular Line-X. Also weighs less because it can be applied thinner, like paint. And comes in different colors.

How do you like the hardshell tent?

 

So far I love it...got it in October, so only 12 nights in it so far but all have been below 40F and have had several nights with high winds and some hard rain and have stayed warm and dry. The fan really prevents condensation from being an issue.

 

Took her out to the desert and camping for the first time! This truck is awesome!

 

elaborate on this fan you speak of, please

The James Baroud hardshell tents have an exhaust fan built in.

What i like is how clean your camping is. it is so neat and tidy. unlike some people that are so messy.

great job!

Gorgeous view I'd tent it there just so I could witness the view at dawn.

Where are the locations in Alabama that you have camped? I'm aways on the hunt for cool places here to camp. And, I know I;m a 2gen on a 3gen thread.

 

Yep. Fan, by default, is exhaust, which works really well to move air out of the tent and prevent condensation.
They also provide you with a different fan blade to insert if you want it to blow down/in...but I haven't yet found a need to use that.

The fan is solar powered, which generally is great since you don't have to remember to charge it or anything...
...but, if you forget and leave it turned on (for the whole day) and it is winter (so the sun is low and not up for too many hours),
you can end up in a situation where the fan dies in the middle of the night...which then, of course, does nothing to prevent condensation.

This happened to me a few weeks ago but thankfully I still had no condensation in the morning despite it being a relatively cold night (low 30s).
I now only turn it on when I crawl in at night and then turn it off a little while after vacating the tent in the morning (or before collapsing the tent to be mobile).

IMO, the fan is a great feature.
