Get something that rolls, not folds. We use some self inflating mattress pads, with a memory foam topper above it. The ability to roll versus folds means you can keep all your bedding in place and roll it up with it. Makes packup/setup a breeze.

This is our bedding all rolled up, with a tarp on the bottom to ensure it stays dry/clean.

 

Made the mistake of not spiking my canopy since weather was beautiful and nothing bad forecast . Storm rolls through middle of the night and I wake up to a collapsed tent around me. Luckily the Taco was fine and kept me dry

 

Fantastic build!

 

Uh - oh! I have definitely done that!

 

Few pics from our 3 day/2 night stay in the Sequoia National Forest and Kings Canyon last weekend

 

Looking at all the photo's has my mind turning to get my camp kitchen set up a little more streamline. Are there any stoves on the market that can be connected directly to a 5lbs propane bottle? Having to add the 1lbs propane adapter in-between can get a little cumbersome with my current stove

 

Rolling or folding each have their pros and cons.
This is mine half way folded up

And fully flat in a short bed with the top folded back for a nice pillow, it bunches a tad bit with the tailgate up but not much to matter

 

I have a hose that will connect from my Colman stove to a typical propane tank valve. Would that work?

 

I have a 6 and a 12ft hose that has a regular bottle connector on one end and a green bottle connector/ threads on the other that I use for both my stove and my heater.

 

Basically what i'm trying to do it skip having to install this little guy https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/715kMMIp1EL._SL1500_.jpg

and instead use a hose like this direct to a stove https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/41ENZ6X4K8L._SX466_.jpg.

Any stove have a direct connection?

 

oooh roger that, if you can get the end fitting it probably wouldn't be to difficult to fit up to the rubber style hose. My primus stove has the same time of connector attached to the rubber hose.

 

Coleman Collectors Meet. Hartford, Tn.

 

This weekend in Joshua Tree.

 

@a_hol
Very cool shots.
Which campground are you looking down on?

 

Indian Cove. Highly suggest it.

 

Not that I know of. I use the hose in the second link and just install the little guy. Only takes 10 seconds.

 

I had to look. We were at Jumbo Rocks and Belle last time. I do not recall where I camped the times I was there in the 80s & 90s.

 

took the trailer out for some spring skiing this weekend.
