Truck Camping Photo Thread

My family has been loving ours since we've gotten it finished enough to use. We leave it packed and ready to go in the garage, just add groceries and water, hook it up and we're on the road. They're not for everyone, but we've gotten out camping more with it than we used to without it.

 

Alpine Loop, quick summer trip!! That place is badass, first time doing any offroading in CO (I'm from TX), 10/10 would go again!!

 

Nahalem Bay in Oregon

Staying in a yurt this year, maybe rent a small trailer next time

 

A frames are nice, fast easy setup, easy to pull but there is a lot of stress on the sidewalls when pushing the roof up and into place. The corners on ours started separating less than 20yo. Ours also liked to leak.

 

Appreciate the feedback. After actual owner feedback I’m going to stay away from an a frame. Really leaning towards the Escapade Alpine. I’m 6 foot 4 and have a true king size bed is appealing.

 

How do you prevent people from throwing darts at your window?
I kidd, nice setup.

 

Now that's funny! I better keep them closed.

 

That thing looks awesome. And maybe you can find some matching toyota rims for the trailer.

 

Went camping for five days last week, first time in three years! God it’s great to have a truck that won’t break down on me.
Hauled a 3k lbs hybrid cub, zero problems and loads of fun

 

Finally worked all the kinks out in my camping setup! I enjoy things more when they are minimalistic and simple so when it comes to getting outdoors I like to keep it as light and simple as possible.

Rugged tri-fold bed cover acts as a table/shelf, yeti bucket and cooler for sitting/storage etc, harbor freight bed extender which hauls my paddle boards (flipped up for hammock use), and an 18" hitch extension so the tailgate will still lay down and stretch the hammock a bit more. Easily run a line from roof rack to extender to add mosquito netting/tarps etc and can fit 2 hammocks side by side!

Currently working on roof rack mounted rod holders and figuring out which wheel/tire setup I want after these stock tires wear out..

Really stoked about this setup and the usefulness this truck has. Having never owned a truck previously I am completely happy with my purchase! I've never had better access to my hobbies than I do with this truck!!

 

Had to stop for pic!
Kind of truck camping...... the sets of wheel axels under train cars are called wheel trucks! Lol

 

I think I stayed at this place many years ago, as a kid. Where is it?

 

Isn't that outside of Port Angles?

 

Close to or near Elby Washington, coming off of west side approach to Mt Rainier

 

I have eaten there, after a winter trip on MT Rainier, overnight below Camp Muir.

 

It's in the center of Elbe. If you have kids, they do a great Polar Express trip around Christmas.

 

On the road from Seattle to 'Paradise'.

 

Two weeks ago, a week ago and one of what it takes to get to a decent campsite

 

Back from great road trip Ca,Sierras...Dinkey,Mono,Edison
Cheers

 

Anybody rig up any kind of mosquito-netting for the back of the shell? Care to share pictures?
