Hello everyone,
I have been a member for a over a year and have very much enjoyed the sharing of information that occurs here. I have been traveling and camping all over the Western United States for what seems like forever, but in reality has only been 48 years. During that time I have camped under the stars, in tents, from a motorcycle, truck campers, travel trailers and a 40 foot 5-wheel.
About four years ago my nephew invited me to go with him to something called Overlanding EXPO which was being held for the first time at Mormon Lake AZ. I had flown over this lake in 1968 on a cross country flight and remember looking down at the lake and how beautiful it was and so I said, "Sure lets do it!"
So this is how I went:
At EXPO my eyes were opened to a new world of how to explore this great country.
So I came home and began to think about what to do. My Jeep is a 06 Wrangler without a lot of inside room, most of which is dedicated to my dog Nemo, all 175 lbs of him:
Because I wasn't going to get a new vehicle or get rid of the dog, I decided on a trailer. I looked at about every trailer I could find a picture of and was thinking of buying one and then I found this at a yard sale:
