NorCal Craigslist finds

I saw Zephyr Cove and immediately knew it was @Tour991 haha.

 

Scam. It's all too common, you can tell when the photos don't have a license plate (or it's obscured digitally), and when the photos are some weird resolution (As if they just pulled them from an auction site).

You can tell it's real when they actually use their words, and the pictures aren't too off from normal.

 

What’s more suspicious? The $1202 price or the picture of a 2 story brick house on a large level wooded lot in what is supposed to be central San Francisco?

 

Haha man, I didn't even notice that. Yeah, it looks nothing like that here. SF doesn't have Colonial homes either, it's all Victorian.

 

Mine.

Is your Drifter ready yet?

 

lol no. I have a lot of work to do in prep. I want the bed off for boxing, replacing the shackle hangers, new leaf packs, running electrical, building cabinetry, etc. Might be worth regearing or upgrading to a new rear axle.

 

While not nearly as nice as the one above here’s a camper in Santa Cruz for $1k.

Never heard of the brand but I have always slept in a hammock or tent so I’ve never researched these. Not sure if it’s a deal or not.

What made you change from the hab to the drifter?

 

I don't sleep in the same place every night and I tend to sleep in. I woke up at 11am on the last trip and found out that I needed to be packed up in 10 minutes.

That and I want to do all the aforementioned maintenance, selling the Habitat means I don't have to store it.

 

Gotcha. I pack the tent away every morning as well, Im sure the wedges are a little faster to stow away. Theres no way I would give up the space but then again I camp with a Gf and a dog most of the time. Still haven't seen a wedge in person but my brothers vanagon is pretty convenient thats for sure. Have a buddy on the lookout for a used habitat but hes a shortbed.

 

I do photography on top of my truck too. So sometimes if I want to pack it away at night for maybe half an hour for night photography, that's where the additional value comes in. I don't usually bring other people, so up and down isn't a big deal for me. However, getting the shot is.

 

Can definitely see the convenience in that

 

The other thing is being able to leave solar panels on the roof which I can't with the Habitat.

 

You ordered a Drifter w/ a fan, correct?

 

I haven't ordered anything.

 

That is definitely one aspect that I would personally prefer a wedge for, but then again, 95% of the time I only have tent deployed while its dark, or near it.
