Truck Camping Photo Thread

My fabricator buddy welded crossmembers to the trailer frame. Then built the rack from there. His company is Alabama caster and equipment in Pelham Alabama.

 

Love the use of the trailer. I am debating a trai,er right now. My goeal had been to do 7x 14 trailer and build it out the way we want. But i have ability to get a smaller cargo at great price and do a similar rooftop setup. Maybe as intemediate plan.

My other new to RTT question is do some just put them on their beds? I imagine most if not all are a little to long for the 5 foot bed but with proper framing, to include slide outs to the rear, could we just use the bed as the base?
I say that as like the lower into the tent height and also have a working Shepard addicted to sleeping in the tent when camping, thus much easier to get his 100 pound butt inside!

 

You're shitting me. I live in Pelham! I'd like to speak with him about a setup similar to yours if I decide to go that route. How stable is the trailer when you are in the tent. It appears you might have stabilizer jacks

 

Your can come by and check mine out. It super stable.

 

I read this and laughed hard. Small world. Good luck on your setup. TW is a great place.

 

My brother and I this past Friday. Definitely my kind of “Friday night lights.”

 

Cool pic!

 

I’ve never posted in this thread before but here’s a few pictures from this past weekend up in the Adirondacks.

 

New camper!

 

Thank you!

 

I passed you on Saturday. I wasn't expecting to see a GFC up here.

 

Rad, you should have said hi, sorry I missed a TW member up there. Only Tacoma I noticed was green with VT plates if I remember..... in MRP that is, I saw quite a few in Old Forge area.

And yes, my GFC and one other in Western Mass, I believe we’re the only two in the NorthEast right now.

 

Dinkey Creek, September 2018

 

It was in the MRP. I have a 2nd gen and had two canoes on the roof. If you had been stopped somewhere, I would have stopped. I would have liked to check out the camper.

 

Yea. I did see you I remember now. I’ll be up again this weekend for the Overland Bound East Get together if you wanna see it. I plan on being in Old Forge at a brewery around 2 in the afternoon. Fulton Chain Craft Brewery to be specific. Let me know.

 

What kind of storage box is sitting on your tailgate. Thanks

 

Not mine, but that appears to be a Hardigg case... i have one very similar but mine is MUCH more abused.

It’s Pelicans “military” line. For when normal pelican cases just aren’t tough enough... I believe mine was used to ship computers around the globe....

 

Thanks
