Thanks, 12 months isn't as bad as some I've heard!! Goal would be to get it before the 2023/2024 ski season so it sounds like that may be possible. We've been tent camping last 10 years with no AC and it's mostly been OK. But we've has some brutal nights in FL/GA/AL - one week in Alabama it was...

Thanks to all have contributed to this thread!! Great read on the Scout campers. I saw them a couple years ago but don't think I noticed the rooftop tent/portal or maybe I had only seen the smaller ones. But the more and more I look at them they seem like a larger more practical option for our...

Nice!! Glad you found a good solution for your crew :) My RTT was twice that and doesn't even have wheels :eek:

Thanks, for sure :) And I guess the one we're going with for now. With kids back to school and coaching both kids in sports the time to camp is....limited. Though we do have 2 local MD weekends planned in October. Nothing too adventurous; one at my Uncle's who hosts a camping night each Fall...

Huh.....they've told us to take them down multiple times?? That's' weird. We usually just take our little folding laundry rack from home - holds 4+ towels and 4+ bathing suits better then a short line anyway. And can be thrown in the annex or bed of truck if a storm comes through. Actually its...

Don't think the State park rangers would go for that. Your not even allowed any clotheslines for beach towels, cords to generators. Nothing a horse could trip over or get caught up in. Yeah bringing the Jeep would be cool/fun. but those conversions and set ups to tow aren't cheap either. So if...

Yes as are most Sprinter van/Class B's. Which is why just waiting until kids are grown or going with a traditional tow trailer will probably wound up being the solution.

Wasted a BUNCH of time on youtube yesterday looking at truck campers. At the end of the day man are they really small for 4 people; and of course $$$$$ Wondering if I should go back to my original plan of tent camping another 8-10 years and they getting some kind of rig (truck camper, Sprinter...

Gotcha, I'd have to do more research I guess if/when the time comes. Still just really debating if it's worth the money for this thing or if we'll get enough use out of it. Biggest problem with the roof tent is just leaving my truck unable to be moved and the long set up/take down time...

Nice; if we pulled the trigger we'd planned to get both max fans (over bed and truck bed/center of camper. So glad to hear they work well!! That's where I keep going back and forth. Our other serious option is an Airstream trailer...total opposite direction of the FWC, lol. Then we'd have AC...

Yeah...going to cooler locations is definelty a nice option....but my wife is a teacher so we're relegated to mostly Summer travel. We're in the humid Mid Atlantic, in laws in DE and NC. We all like going to Diseny every other year or so. Just being realistic that a high percentage of our...

Well, dang. According to their website the AC is not available on the Flatbed models at all. And it's only available with the Couch slide in Grandby which we really wanted the front dinette version. Wondering if you could just pop one of these portable guys in as needed; that would solve...

Yes I know, even stayed at a few!! (Fort Hendersen, Alafia River, Topsail Hill Preserve). BUT there are lots of beaches/trails/woods/campgrounds etc. that aren't a ~14 hour drive on 95; so often if we trek to Florida it's to visit the house of mouse for better or worse. In my pipe dream I'll...

ha! That's certainly the easiest option!! But if we drop the $$$$$ on this bad boy I want to be able to use it wherever.

Yeah...I may just have to put up with it looking strange :/ I don't want to have to avoid have the country for certain months of the year if I'm hoping to keep the camper 15+ years. Plus it was over 100 in Oregon back in June so you just never know!! Yeah grew up going there every Spring with...
