Truck Camping Photo Thread

I've camped a lot in those types of temperatures. Not bad for me.

Oh, it's a game changer. I only use it to warm the tent while I sit around the fire, ~15 minutes before I decide to climb into bed. I also use it when I first wake up to warm the tent again so I don't put on freezing cold clothes. Makes going to bed and waking up so much easier.

I have a 4 person CVT on my truck, and use the largest Exped MegaMat inside. Even though it's the biggest size the tent floor still has ~12 inches on each side of the air mattress. So I simply set it on the tent floor. I don't run it while I am in there, but if I needed to (extreme cold) I would use it to stay alive.

Yeah, that can definitely happen to you. If you ever decide to come back let me know. Just down the road from me and I'd be happy to share.

 

Nah, that trip started south of Cleator actually, on a pretty decent trail, then we went up to Crown King from the South on the main road in, and then ended in Prescott.

I wrote a Trip Report (Another Water Crossing!?! on this forum) about it actually. Had a bunch of water crossings!

I might take you up on that. Always looking for new spots to check out.

Your rig looks like it handled the water just fine, haha. I haven't had much experience with those down in the valley.

 

Found this one from base camp in Hoback Pass south of the Tetons this summer. Grey’s River is awesome if you haven’t been there. The roads might shake a filling or two loose though.

 

Same!

It did alright, no long term issues (so far) as that was ~12,000 miles ago.

 

Lays and Mich Ultra...Gotta get your carbs and flavor some way!

 

A little hammock camping in the keys.....

 

Is that the place on Stock Island? Or up by Bahia Honda?

 

Its at Big Pine Fishing Lodge near Bahia Honda

 

Awesome photo of the Az desert

 

Eldorado NF, California. The bed rack's maiden voyage. Good times.

 

2021 off to a good start with some winter camping!

Gobie birds always looking for a snack as soon as the food comes out

 

Looks amazing and peaceful!!!! Where is that? Need a weekend get away and camping seems to be the cure. Just need to be away from technology, work, civilization.......

 

Must be western Massachusetts

 

The backwoods of Maine. The drive up though wasnt so peaceful haha

 

First trip taking the Tacoma RV camping with us and it's been great. We traveled 1498 miles from Illinois to Key West so far.
I will be modifying a couple yakima hold up bike racks to mount on diamondback bed cover when get home so we can more easily take and secure 4 bicycles with us.
As a mid 40s dad with 4 kids (2 in college, 2 still traveling with us) I seem to be older than most on tacoma world, but I love my tacoma just the same. With Covid allowing is to work and teach the kids remote, we plan to travel alot throughout 2021.

 

That's a sick setup you have there! This is very close to what I was telling my wife we should strive for later in life.

 

Good ol AB Hills.

 

tell me more about that awning...
