Truck Camping Photo Thread

Makes it a lot easier for friends and family to recognize me on the road as well. Most popular color of the third gen right here. I had to stand out

 

Gorgeous! Where exactly?

 

Do I count? LOL

 

eastern wa over the 4 day weekend

 

what camera did you use for this?

 

Canon 7D Mark ii and a DJI Mavic Mini.
But the paint brush doesn’t make the painting.

Either a Canon 10-22mm, 22-105 f/4l or 70-200 f2.8l

(eta- meant to put this in regular camping thread, oh well…)

 

do you have a picture of the smallish awning on the passenger's side deployed? That doesn't look like anywhere in Ohio I've seen. Welcome to the wide-wild west. Beautiful setting and beautiful camera skills. Thanks for sharing.

Can you share some details about your mini-RV conversion? Any interior pictures?

 

Sure. It started as an idea to buy a teardrop. After seeing the prices I thought I would try to build one. It helps to have a family member that owns a fab shop so all the metal work inside was done by him. Trailer was bought thru Forest river trailers. It is a 5X8 I ordered it with two windows and insulation. The rest we did. We did an axle over swap and added 31 10.50 15 BFG all terrain tires. Interior wall and sub floor is 4 ply plywood. 35 gallon water tank over the axle Iceco [fridge and camp chef water heater. I have not taken any of the sleeping quarters. It has a full size mattress that pretty much takes up the space. The kitchen depth is 24 inches deep.

 

Looks good. I like the kichen set up with the use of the doors. Where did you source the 35 gallon water tank?

 

Nothing glamorous but it works. DCSB with a Softopper and an REI Alcove to extend over the back. It helps keep the feet dry in case of a slight drizzle and also gives an area to change / get out of the sun.

 

Going here (Oronoco Campground) in a couple weeks... taking the dirt bike to my buddies house in nc and this is a good midway point, to camp and just relax.

there should be a spot available midweek probably?

 

Most everything was purchased through Amazon.

 

Thank you. I may inquire once I get parts ready to go.

The Blue Sea switch panel is backordered forever now, no ETA as of today. Was looking at the Renogy panels also. Glad to hear of your endorsement. Will go that way eventually.

 

We will be at Cape Lookout, NC next week. I'm excited to post some pictures in here when we get back from beach camping with the RTT.
