Truck Camping Photo Thread

Man, I love that van.

 

Nice looking rigs in here. Have some work to do to mine before the next outing.

 

Ouch, I could buy a nice used truck for the price. Guess I'll stick to my new canvas tent, replaces a 20 year old Sierra Designs backpacking tent that got down graded to car camping. Never high enough up the food chain to be able to get one of those.

Testing out the new rack and gear load out. So far, so good.

 

Nice work on the brackets for the awning!

 

anyone know of a pricing guide for ARE bed cap builds? i built one on their site but realized i have to talk to a shop for a quote...would rather just play around with it on my own first before having to talk to a shop

 

You can build one on their site and you'll get a quote in about a week or so by email. I do know they vary dealer to dealer.

 

Escaped people and heat this weekend with my wife for our anniversary. Love this tent!

 

Since this is a camping thread, I assume you like to camp. I highly recommend getting the windoors! You'll be glad you did.

 

i've been doing some serious research on this lately as I have been in the market.

expect caps to start anywhere from 1400-1700 for higher end models then the additional cost of accessories, roof racks, wind doors, etc, those can range from $50 rack tracks (no roof rack, just the tracks) carpet headliners $80, or vented windoors $150 each side, etc..

I just purchased my Leer 100 XR today, from removable sliding windoor, side vented wind doors, headliner -- $2,301 out the door.

also another TW shared this google doc with me. prices seem to vary by dealer, market, territory.

i called 5 Leer dealers and there wasnt much consistency in pricing but most of them were within 350 of each other.

thanks for the info, just been mulling over different ideas for bed camping. thats more expensive than i expected...i think that i would get a RTT on bed rack at that point

Just a heads up-retail for a solid bed rack + RTT is about the same as a well equipped cap.

 

And a rack/RTT can go up way more (e.g., $3500)

 

i agree. neither come cheap. but both have their purposes. the topper fulfilled my needs more so than a RTT, as much as I want an RTT, locking my fishing and biking gear up is what was most important to me.

 

anyone have a tent on top of a toneau cover?

 

I put my tent on the ground, like an adult.

 

Man thats awesome.

Anyone put a tent on top of their toneau cover?
