Over 60 issues: from the very first Spring 2007, through somewhere in 2019. Only missing issue is: Summer 2009. They are in fair condition. Not marked or ripped, but some pages got folded and scuffed as these magazines got read and tossed around over the years. Would anyone want this collection...

My friend is selling this 1966 "deuce and a half" M109A3. The M109A3 is the same as the more common M35A2 (open truck) in the M44A2 "deuce" series, but the M109A3 "shop van" has a box mounted on the back. Ready-to-go camper! 1966 M109A3 2½ ton shop van 6x6 (10 wheel drive) multifuel engine...

When I'm far from help, I like to have my mountain bike packed inside my camper van to use as emergency transport should I get stuck somewhere. Unfortunately, it still takes up a lot of space, even with the handlebars rotated, seat & wheels removed, etc. Here is my full-suspension mountain bike...

Here's a northern Baja trip I just took at the beginning of this month. I accomplished my mission of investigating some new secluded spots! As you can see, the trip was through the Laguna Salada area, down the gulf coast through San Felipe & Puertecitos, again down that coast southeast of...

Are there any good books out there on Expedition Campers? A quick Amazon.com search doesn't turn up much. I have Tom Sheppard's Vehicle-Dependent Expedition Guide and Off-Roader Driving books, which are excellent, but I'm thinking more about 4x4 truck-campers and vans than truck+tent...
