Good judgement, all terrain tires, a shovel, and a pair of traction mats can take you about anywhere you need to go.

Might try: https://www.buckstopinc.com/products.html A Buckstop on our '05 Ram:

Vehicle based comfortable sleeping is a system. My pad for 20 years has been the Thermarest Basecamp. This type of pad is available from several vendors, comes in various sizes and thicknesses. It mostly self inflates and the valve lets you set your support level. Ideal for vehicle-based...

The GD Momentum has worked out very well for us. The "toy hauler" features a easy to maintain/clean and flexible rear interior (we have the electric lift rear dinette/queen bed system and solid rear glass panel doors), ability to store the E-bikes internally for transport and the rear deck...

Another trip...can't wait to watch for your trip reports & photos. With your level of experience and common sense, a solid AWD vehicle, and a good folding shovel you should be good to go. Just some random roads and POI's most will have mentions/reports on this site for more details: 1: A...

As mentioned, those doors are for easy access to the tiedowns. I run a 2018 Four Wheel Camper Hawk on a Ram3500. The Hawk sits on a rubber stall mat. The camper has wood runners/slats that keep the camper from sitting in water and allow ventilation. A plain flat floor sitting in the truck...

If the wood is soft, replace it. Paint with a good exterior paint. Hard to tell from photo…is floor bottom surface flat? Most camper floor bottoms have runners/slats that raise the floor about an inch or so to prevent just sitting in water. Something like pressure treated 2x2 running...

Congratulations on the sale. Oh, and if that Blue Heeler gets into that king size bed…you likely have about a foot of free space left for yourself! Mine is a bed hog!

Our Bluebird Wanderlodge had the entire roof covered with aluminum step plate. It was mounted with rubber strips about 1/2 inch above the roof screwed down to the ribs. No leaks. Could sit up there in chairs. Insulation value minimal …usefulness maximum. We sold it after 17 years…but now at...

I really enjoyed my years "truck cap camping". That is a nice rig, especially the tailgate tent. Good luck with the sale.

About 2 years ago I wanted to upgrade some of my side dish options. As a general plan my main course is often a portion of grilled or pan seared chicken, steak or seafood and this is where I tend to spend my time and effort for seasoning/preparation. I have no oven or microwave, and my...

Thought it might be time to update this review. It recently came time to replace our two favorite camping chairs after a decade of use. These were what I call "sling chairs" they unfold, and you sit in a semi-bucket of canvas with a canvas back. Reasonably comfortable, but not good support...

OZY. 5 year old ACD side of the road puppy rescue. He is a good boy.
