Truck Camping Photo Thread

I have a horrible back and bad shoulders along with some other issues. Our little camper is very basic no indoor kitchen, no bathroom, no tv pretty much a hard sided tent. We added a fridge and I fabbed a compartment for it as there is just no room inside. You can sit in the camper but when it's time for bed the whole inside becomes a full/ queen size bed. We did opt for AC as it can get really humid here. I have done enough to it now for it to be self sufficient for off grid camping. Very basic but I'm not laying on the ground or having to get up from it. Very light our year model is all aluminum and dry weight is 910lbs

 

Those cabinet pulls double as bottle openersAsk me how I know

 

The NoBo line come standard with a bottle opener on the cabinets.

 

It ain't the years, it's the miles.

 

My pads have gotten thicker as the years go by.

 

Until menopause. Then you don’t need them at all anymore.

 

The DUO, an REI Garage sale find, yes sir.
I also use a bridge hammock. (But, not with the Exped)

 

DM'ing you...

 

Baja

 

Glorious! One day I'll explore Baja. Might even stay down for several months post retirement.

 

I highly recommend. I’m already looking forward to going back!

 

Sleeping off the ground (and on a 4" memory foam mattress) will definitely spoil you compared to tent cmping.

 

Looks like a great setup. What trailer is that?
Having a set up like this, or any with rigid walls, is better in wind too.

 

I'm currently doing my homework on a off road teardrop trailer. Nice set up, is that a home built project trailer? Well executed if it is!

 

Moab and Needles
Rolled the dice on a camp spot not far from Elephant Hill. Got lucky as hell and found the only open spot(next to bathroom and wash sink) that evening. Canyonlands is beautiful.

 

Black Rock Desert

 

I spoil myself these days. I sleep in the back of my truck. I have a bed rug and a 3" queen-size memory foam topper in the bed. My wife loves it. The truck is always ready to go. Just one step to setting up camp - fold down the tail gate. We end up camping a lot more because of this. Its not bad to do a single night trip.

 

Thanks fellas, it is a trailer we built ourselves, based on a standard 5'x8' cargo trailer. So far it's been a great route to go, love the rigid insulated walls and ability to store all our gear in there and just hook up and go. We still have some interior work to finish, but it's getting there.

Here's the build thread on TW for more details: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/my-off-road-worthy-5x8-camper-build.569960/

 

Very cool build! Wish I had the skill set to do something like that. Instead I'll end up paying a ton of money for someone else to build me one
