Never-ending family camping project...

I still have the old Silva compass my parents gave me when I was a little kid. When we had our son I really wanted to instill that same joy for adventure. We set out to build this rig to get far out into the wild on solo trips while still being relatively comfortable with an infant. The first few times were pretty rough but at two years old, its starting to get a little easier. So far, with the exception of many alignments, I've done all the work myself. Lots of blood and sweat but its paying off.

Beautiful rig! Love the set up! You running your Baofang for HAM radio or just as a walkie? Those AT campers are sure growing on me…

 

Thank you, much appreciated. Just walkie talkie right now. My wife and most of the people I head out with dont have a HAM license. AT puts out an excellent product and they have great support. You have to get inside the camper to realize just how spacious it is.

 

All the electric and diesel heater wired up.

 

i still have my silva compass.
my dad instilled the same feelings for camping in me.

nice rig!

 

Thanks! Yeah those are the memories you cherish.

 

Wondering if you had any write up or resources on your IPad/GPS set up? I have access to a backroads map here on an SD card and want to figure out how I might set that up in my truck...It sounds like you have something similar?
