Something like that.

 

If it makes you feel better I can tell you I hate you and throw you overboard.

 

Pffffft, pretty sure the internet says the tundra can tow the space shuttle.

 

Well I had my 16' which I loved and it had trouble handling our 7100pd dry trailer over the passes and with a couple toy's in the toy hauler pushing 10k it was flat struggling. I finally gave up after a Telluride and Yellowstone trip last summer and bought a diesel. 7mpg and the motor singing above 5k RPM wasn't what I would call handling anything unfortunately, our XLR 29HFS has a picture in the brochure of a damn Tundra pulling it too. Sooo l would say you need to be below 6k to pull in CO with a Tundra 5.7.

 

Jason I have the same Trimetric 2030 setup it's awesome, are those 6v battery's? I did a pure sine northern tool 1000w inverter, 2 12v interstate deep cells, & 3 Renogy 100w mono panels. Haven't turned my genny on in 2 years!

 

I just want to tow 6500lbs with the sequoia

 

Im looking at like maybe 1500lbs...
That includes the kitchen sink .

 

What are you gonna get? A teardrop trailer?

 

Nah, pop up camper for me and the dog.

 

I would love one of the Coleman E1 pop ups. They look pretty sweet.

Was gonna do this a few months back and some life issues caused a slight postponement . Now we're back on track.

 

Those are sweet, what leaf springs you going with with that much weight?

 

Yeah it wasn't thrilled about the weight, but it was mostly flat other than the climb out of the pit that i had to hit with a running start. And I used 4lo to move it on the property since it was able to move it easier.

 

YEAH! My man, you got it! Ram those batteries!!! the guy who made these meters is a freaking genius. I learned soooo much about batteries from that guy and his company!

My setup evolved... I have two 6volt golf cart batteries. They are pretty good. I might upgrade some day if needed but so far they have taken everything we throw at them. I have two 100 watt Renology panels. One permanent on the roof which is great when driving. Other is portable folding and I can move around to deal with varied site and shade. I have a pigtail into my board and made a 25 foot extension cord for the portable panel out of 6 gauge welding wire and rigged a quick connect. I’m with you man, no generators, have boondocked for extended periods. There would have to be many days of shade to be concerned. Love it!! I had a larger non sine wave, decided too much and replaced with a smaller pure sine. Took larger one and mounted to board with a rope handle. Can run a vaccuum or air compressor off it if needed. Stoked to see another trimetric fan!

 

I currently have two aal's under it, and consequently, 400lbs of sand to soften the rear for the moment. Didn't squat a bit. That, and a set of firestone air bags should do it.

 

holy shit the wind

 

Low life special, and an IPA.

 

Great. Now I have to spend a great deal of time convincing myself that I'm good with just the tent.

I don't.

Nope.



Since summer is coming up, however. It's time to put together a little camp-site shower system! Lowe's... here we come!

 

On board water is fantastic... And can be done real inexpensively.

Edit: .What are you wanting to get out of the shower system?

 

Just a flow of water. I was thinking a 5 gallon bucket could do it.... elevated for a little bit of gravity. A cheap shower curtain, and something to stand on... in case it's all dirt where we are.

Dead-of-winter being the exception; there is something to be said about a cold shower in the early morning, while camping.

Can we talk about something else? I just filed my taxes. The results were not in my favor this year.

F* it. Got any ideas for that shower?

*Yes. I'm a bit of a hot mess. HaHa! (he says as he pours another glass of bourbon).
