Truck Camping Photo Thread

Make sure it is totally dry before putting it away. I have a canvas 8x10 that's 45 years old and still sheds water.

 

Indeed. That is the most important thing to remember.

 

I'm gonna give the Klymit Static V Luxe a try. Seems well built with decent padding, good size, and lightweight compared to the Exped MegaMat I was considering. Found it on Walmart.com (through a 3rd party reseller) for $89.99. The Exped MegaMat goes for almost $200.

 

Check out their ebay store. I got mine from them as a blemish item. At first I couldn't find the blem but it was where the name was screened onto the pad. Super minor blem.

 

Ha! I did just that. Found a refurb for $69.95 with free shipping. Should be here Saturday.

Haha. Such a great place! Your pics look great!

While RTT's are great for rapid transitions from site to site and over rough terrain, I love my Kodiak when camping with the whole family. Lots of headroom.

 

Gives you a basecamp too. That is the one dilemma for RTTs and in bed campers-having to pack up to go wander.

 

Killer pics @inv3ctiv3

 

I ended up ordering a set of these to use as lighting around my awning - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0746J1FPH/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I paired them with a wireless RF controller so I can dim them. I just need to spend a weekend in the woods now to try em out.

 

that's a long string of lights...

 

Thanks for the link I ordered a string as well. I have a 20k mah lithium powerpack with 2 usb outlets i intend to run these off, if it can power them sufficiently and I like them I'm going to order another string. The price is good especially for almost 40ft of lighting, should be fun for the campsite as well as by my the pool and patio area as I will not have to run an extension cord.

 

Yep. My awning is 9'x9' so they'll be perfect to go around 3 sides of it. I can cut them down to a shorter length if need be.
