Truck Camping Photo Thread

Another weekend mountain biking and rock climbing in and around Sedona, AZ.

I'm interested in some easy stock-capable areas out that way.

 

No Excuses except the price!!!

 

Yeah. They're a bit much. Who needs both kidneys anyway.

 

A stock Tacoma is remarkably capable. Its a fantastic truck.

 

100% truth. sure im not out there trying to do some rock crawls but i have had no issues getting anywhere i needed to be. it did great skipping freeway traffic and cruzing the lakebed / pole line dirt roads on my last trip.

 

that guy is 2nd on my list of teardrops...how do you like it?

probably looking to get one next year...

 

Actually went to local location and spent about 2 hours there looking this and several other models over. That's the TAB 320 Boondock right?

I own this, by Runaway down in Florida. We paid about $6,000 ( including shipping ) 5 years ago for it and it has worked out for us. It's basic
as it can get and we tricked out the inside with cabinets / bed / solar panel storage etc. I think they go for a bit more these days but expect
to pay $25,000 less than the TAB 320...

 

I paid about the same for mine

 

I am thrilled with it. I have had it for two years. It’s small enough to fit in my garage. I thought I would spend a weekend a month in it, when I bought it. I’m actually in it a lot more than that. I’ve taken two, out of state, 15 day trips, plus countless trips an hour or two from my home.

I’ve been surprised how many I see in state parks. Travel trailer owners are usually a very friendly, social bunch. You will meet a lot of nice people and have instant friends, when you pull in to a campsite. Everyone wants to see your teardrop.

Go ahead and get one! You’ll be glad you did. The model I have is the Nucamp Tag Boondock Lite.

 

Exactly - we did a 16 day trip to Yellowstone pre-covid and I didn't want to come back. Just wanted to keep on going to wherever we landed.
If it were just me, no dogs, no cats, no personal chef duties to the wife, ... I'd sell everything and buy a little bigger, like the TAB 320 Boondock,
hook it up to the Tacoma and just go wherever the weather was nice.

 

From this past weekend out in Paige, TX

 

Nice set up! What table is that?

 

My ARB awning room arrived. I plan on using it as a tent/room.

 

How is it to set up/take down?

 

Doing the weekend warrior thing along coastal California

 

It's very easy actually. First you deploy the awning which takes no time. Then the room just kinda snaps on. I set the entire thing up in about 5 mins and I wasn't rushing. Taking it down is even easier. The bag the room goes in is actually big enough lol. I was doing it by myself, for 2 people it would be nothing.

 

Overnight ice fishing trip!

 

Past few weekends in the desert with my son. We own a 25’ trailer but trying to get him out as much as I can in the tent.
