GA Tacoma Owners BS Thread

Which 270 do you have? I feel like most that I’d even remotely consider buying still recommend use of the support legs in any weather more than a normal breeze.

 

It's out of this GB: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/foxwing-awning-annex-gb-interest-gauge-round-3.542008/ so it's a generic chinese one.

It functions just great, it's not the highest quality. Mainly I've had consistent issues with the bag leaking and the awning getting wet, so I've had to repaint the bag with flex seal a couple of times. That said, the awning and supports are great and an absolute godsend if I'm camping and it starts raining. The price was right too - I spent just under $1k to my door for a 2.5 meter awning including full walls. It's absolutely humongous - I can show you sometime if you want.

If I were to do it again, I'd commit fully and buy a REALLY high end one that doesn't need supports. I also would save ~$300 and not buy the walls. I've literally never used them, they're new in box still. The way I camp, I just don't need them. They'd be great for folks looking for more privacy or to use it as a tent though. I just move around too much for it to get used a lot.

If you want to try one used, I'm willing to part with mine. Like I said, I want to get one that doesn't need supports. I posted it up a while ago - I'd go a lot lower than the price listed in the post if you're interested. Here's the post: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/georgia-classifieds.283267/page-258#post-22744871

 

I remember those GB threads. Those kinda put 270s on the map per se for me. Hadn’t really seen them prior.

I’ll keep the offer in mind. I’m not fully sold on a 270 yet, but it’s definitely a possibility but a bigger style side awning or a 180 are still options.

Those 100% freestanding are sick, but I can’t stomach the price. Check these out if you haven’t already. I’ve read some good things, OVS.

Here’s a review on their 270 with walls. The guy makes some comparisons to the AluCab.

23zero makes some nice 180/270s that I’m looking at as well.

 

oops.

 

Guess the ranger test drive didn’t go well?

 

Didn’t even go. I just found this and jumped on it.

 

You could have just put a shell on your Tacoma...

 

Thats just it, he did have one haha

 

Lomax Tonneau cover for sale paid 650 for it like 2 months ago. I have all the hardware you would just need new weatherstripping. Asking 475 obo.

 

I’d be in for this, wife and I were just talking about it anyway.

 

I am interested

 

so people with interest are:
@Scott B.
@06AtlTaco
@NorGATaco

That leaves us 6 shy of the minimum for discount. I thought there would be more interest, but maybe I just haven't given it enough time.

 

I'm down!

 

I'd probably be down as well just need to look into it more. Which parks is it?

 

I’ll ask some friends see who might be interested. It sort of depends on logistics I guess I’m as cheap as anyone and want to save a few bucks but how does the order/distribution work out? Not trying to be negative in any way I like the idea just thinking logistics?

 

All GA State Parks.

 

All GA state parks which I fully want to support. I guess it’s worth noting for everyone that there is a military discount I think which is more than one would save with this group buy. Thank you for your service! Also again please buy and help support our parks, but if you know anyone unable to pay but still want to explore our resources one can also check these park passes out at local libraries just like a book for free. Not sure how the libraries are working with covid but my wife and I did that for a while when we were still in school and eating extremely cheap.

 

Stats?

 

So it would be $45 for the annual? You can count me in. Side note, is stone mountain not a state park? I already have their pass so it doesn't really matter but looking on their parks map, Stone Mountain Park wasn't listed.

Edit: NVM I just need to read more. Still down for the pass though.
ParkPass Exceptions: Organized school groups, diners in lodge restaurants and attendees of day-long lodge meetings are exempt. Golfer parking is included in greens fees. Large vans with a capacity of 13 to 30 passengers pay $30 per day or may purchase an Annual ParkPass for $75. Buses or motor coaches with a capacity of more than 30 passengers pay $70 per day or may purchase an annual pass for $250. However, those vehicles carrying overnight guests pay only the regular daily parking fees.

The Chattahoochee River National Recreation Areas, Stone Mountain, Corps of Engineers lakes, Jekyll Island and Lake Lanier are not state parks, and are not covered by the ParkPass. The ParkPass is not valid at Wildlife Management Areas or Public Fishing Areas. These locations are covered by a hunting or fishing license or Lands Pass available from the DNR’s Wildlife Resources Division.
