Oregon and Washington Truck Spotting

I've camped in my backpacking tent, car camping tent, and trailer. One of these things is not like the others.

 

You don’t say

 

Yup, and the dometic is much more comfortable than the bucket I had previously. But they each have their advantages.

 

Nope and Nope. But I could always throw a roll of Pillsbury cinnamon rolls in the air fryer for something easy, yet delicious

 

I've set up my Gazelle screen room before with chairs and a small table lights etc. And then driven away. We try to keep it relatively organized inside the camper if we want to come and go.

And if I wanted to, I bet I could have the camper off the truck faster than most people can close their RTT (if i brought the legs, lol). Probably a little longer to re-load it.

As for everywhere... yeah, I've ran into issues here with trees lining the trails. So off camber the camper woulda hit them

And I'm in total agreeance that a Tacoma is not the best truck for a camper!!! We just wanted to get our feet wet in the hard side camper world without buying a new truck and camper. The Taco's been paid off for a LONG time. We love it. It is much more what we want vs the AT Habitat we had previously. We look forward to a 1-ton+ diesel in the future with a more full function camper.

 

NOT ENOUGH!! I've had to settle for lakes, or a campground shower.

 

Spotted on BEH

Whatever canopy clamps they used are terrible

 

That, or it ripped through thin fiberglass. Looks like the clamps are still in place..... Wonder which one was at fault.

 

Good point, maybe the clamps are excellent and I've got it backwards. Unfortunate situation

 

I have a Leer and I’m not impressed with the clamping situation. I’m going to add extra clamps to mine. Not sure how other manufactures clamp down but my Leer uses 4 and they use the existing Toyota rail with t nuts. Doesn’t instill confidence at all

 

I just added stainless fender washers between the bolt head and canopy, seemed to be pretty good for me as it never shifted.

 

I’ll have to try that. I’ve noticed they have loosened up a couple of times…I randomly check them and check at oil changes. Thanks for the idea

 

I have 6 on mine because of that very reason. I think I also added some other support but I can't remember

 

Yeah I found a clamp that will work that I want to add. The thought I of it coming loose freaks me out.

 

Yes sir!!

 

I'm betting it was the Taco
