Truck Camping Photo Thread

Yes, Northstar campers are designed to be used as a "base camp" off the truck.

 

Cool! Weight? Did you beef up your suspension?

 

Just checked the link. Doesn’t look like there is a short bed model but very cool.

 

More on that over here. Big break kit patiently waiting to be installed...

Near Webster Pass last night. Ended up using the air compressor with a needle gun to get the fire going

 

I don't remember that being in the Boy Scout Handbook...

but you are doing better t han me <---sleeping in my regular bed and NOT camping

 

Camping with two Tacoma off roads pulling two 16ft airstreams near crater lake

 

In Minnesota

 

Camped in the George Washington National Forest this weekend. Perfect weather and location.

 

Just this past weekend, Buffalo Lake, Alberta

 

I've been considering getting the 19 foot Airstream to pull with my 2nd Gen. Does your 3rd Gen feel as if it is nearing the limits of what you would want to pull around or do you feel you could pull a little more trailer? The dry weight of the 19 is 650 lbs more than the 16.

 

Took the kiddos for a long weekend in Croatan Nation Forest.. and enjoyed the added bonus of being only 10 mins from the beaches of NC's Emerald Isle.

 

Last week up in Yellowstone

 

Same area, cabin in the woods on a small lake. Left to 11 other family members, 18 acres, we've seen deer and bear, but a mountain lion on trail camera

 

I went back and forth on the 16ft vs 19ft airstream. I could probably have gotten away with a little more trailer but pulling that 16ft with water tanks full, I was about as good as I wanted to be. I would probably not try to push it with a 19 mostly because of all the crap I had in the bed of the truck too. The tongue weight was getting close to max.

 

Me in Holcomb valley

 

Note to self: You can reach deep sleep in the desert night heat and not be awaken by the roar of a 4Runner V8 at 4am. Note to others: Wear some earplugs if sleeping around me.

 

Where's the 4Runner?
