Truck Camping Photo Thread

How long does the tent take to set up and more importantly break down? I’ve been contemplating one of those or a Gazel T4 as a stand alone unit

 

Yes. We have a couple filters to make potable water. We can always drink from the trailer’s onboard 21 gallon system, but we like to save that for cleaning and showers (luxury). We saw no sign of water on this run, but many trails in AZ have water. I’m very experienced at backing trailers, but do agree that getting turned around deserves real consideration. My wife and I both look for and call out potential turn-around spots as we encounter them, and I’m always cautious about driving into anything sketchy without first stopping to get out and evaluate. The trailer does slow travel, but being fast is not a factor for us. All of this, of course, relates to what I’d call travel on real off-road trails. Standard forest service roads are zero problem.

 

Camp's not quite setup, but his was over the summer outside of Buena Vista. Hoping to have a RTT setup next year if I can score a good deal over the winter

 

Nice shot. I never realized how many stickers our Tacomas have in the door sill. Damn.

 

That’s exactly what we would like to do. Most of the time the technical stuff would come after parking the trailer anyway.

 

Love the look of your tent. What's your assessment?

 

~9600ft in Utah a couple weeks ago. Got 4-6" of snow overnight.

 

Another extended weekend exploring with @ME OFF Rd

 

Nice

 

First Time Camping in Moab

 

Pro tip, if you want to make sure someone sees your post, use the "@" in front of their name like @dleithaus

 

Super cool! I love the pictures from Moab. Makes me dream of the day I can make the trip! Hopefully you had a blast.

 

Don't get me wrong, I don't regret the move from GA > CO and the mtns out here are excellent, but damn I miss the Blue Ridge Mtns sometimes

 

Comfier than our actual bed! We hate air mattresses and we don’t haul anything in the bed, so why not make a bedroom out of the space. 6ft bed with an extra 2feet of tail gate that is sheltered with a tent off the end. The extra 2foot piece can be used as a “couch” but it’s the dog bed at night.
It’s 4” thick high density foam.

 

Eastern Sierra last weekend.

 

I like it!

Keeping foam clean and dry can be a chore though.

 

No question that sleeps well. One piece is always better, IME.

 

Dark out there.

 

ya, we bought a queen size mattress protector to help with that. Thing wasn’t cheap so we gotta protect it.

can’t even feel the wife or dog moving in the night.

 

Better get something else! You WANT to feel the wife moving! Duck or F.... never know. Best to get some warning!
