    Southern San Juan Playtime

    So, my awesome wife suggested I take a day and go camping. She really is awesome. I picked a spot on the map and off I went. I went to an area about an hour from home. I had the pop up camper (see build thread in signature) and my Jeep. I was excited to go boondocking outside of campgrounds...

    Insurance?

    Hey guys, I'm trying to insure my rebuilt pop up camper (see thread in my signature). My problem. It's registered as a 1977 Pop Up Camper but is much more like a modern off road camper. The only part of the original camper still there is the frame. The original is worth the few hundred I paid...

    Action Packer Source?

    I see that Rubbermaid brand Action Packers seem to be by far the preferred storage bin source. Everywhere I look they are expensive. Is there some super-secret expedition outlet that has them more reasonably priced, or do you guys just spend hundreds on them? If you don't want to spill the...

    Removable Solar Panel Mount?

    I have a solar panel that I'm trying to figure out how to transport. It's 2'x4' and I'm rebuilding an old pop up camper.
