Truck Camping Photo Thread

i might use this once or twice if that. my old coleman broke and ripped and this is just a backup for my rtt.

i will post if i end up using it though.

 

Good deal. Always good for a back up. Price wise too. I picked one up and gifting it to my nephews as they want their own space when we go camping in the summers.

 

Was going to get this tent, but reviews pushed me away

 

“Throw Down” cant expect much for a quick weekender tent. Easy on the wallet, wont hurt more when it eventually rips as most tents tend to do after a while.

Still cheaper than a magellan house brand.

how do you like that awning? im debating between that style and the one that goes forward to cover the front door too.

 

I love the awning. It's very sturdy with all 4 leg poles out. I've had it in some very windy conditions. I did think that the forwardmost part would still allow me to get into the back driver-side door when the walls are deployed but the end of the wall ends partway into the door. Part of me wishes I got the larger OVS 270 awning but it's almost 40 lbs heavier. It's also about $500 dollars more if you get the walls with it.

 

This is Mammoth Lakes Hotsprings in late winter last year.

 

Used 2k Champion genny. Crazy thing is I got hot and had to turn 1 off

 

It was....average....I actually bought 2 so if wife or girlfriend want to sleep in truck. Brought only 1 though. I think it would be better to snap 2 together. They are built for connecting them. I'm 6', 250lb and it was narrow for me. Bedrug helped. I was actually comfortable. I like firm.

 

One of the coves on the Nevada side of Lake Mojave. I did Mojave Rd East to West after, and this spot was still the highlight of my trip!

 

Solid price if anyone’s in the market.

Lowes has those on sale occasionally got mine for half that last December.

 

Kodiak Canvas tent...rock solid.

 

did you insulate the gfc at all? or just the canvas walls?

 

Nope, no insulation. The diesel heater keeps it nice and toasty in there and eliminates all condensation.

 

Last one before all the snow is gone..

 

I scored a last min campsite in Zion when the rain caused people to cancel. It's a little soggy and cold, but tomorrow should be great!

 

What do you use to power the diesel heater? Last time I tried one, it was plugged into my 500W Jackery around 85% and in the morning it was down to 35%. I wasn't expecting such a big hit on the battery. Curious as to what you have experienced.
