    My dad on snowcat type of vehicle in mountains, back then when we were in EU. He used to have land cruiser from company but in this kind of environment they never allowed to use a vehicle, probably you can see why. We have 2 tacomas now, and planning to go to Vermont in winter :) Going to do some roaming ! He got TRD off road, mine is just SR5 V6. Will see how both will do.

    I would recommend a diesel heater if you have any concerns with condensation. They’re super cheap and work extremely well.

    Thanks. I'm going to try this out. I suppose it is similar to the buddy heater, emits CO2 and it's best to run it when you're awake and have a monitor in the camper or tent. Correct?

    Yes. Itnis much smaller than my buddy heater, so although it emits co2 (I use a detector to be safe) I assume it is at a lesser rate. I only use it when I'm awake. Otherwise I use the electric blanket.

    That's such a dope setup! Love the gear organization across the rack, bed, and hitch! I gotta take some notes. I'm thinking of getting a Gazelle tent as well, deciding between the T4 and the T4 Plus. How many cots do you think can comfortably/realistically fit in the T4? Thanks!

    Thanks man! Gazelle was originally for the wifey Glamping trips but has quickly become one of my favorites. You can comfortably place 3 cots leaving the center and one of the doors open to freely move around. You could fit 4 cots but it would be pretty tight quarters. Hope this helps!
