Wow, Thank you for your comments. The 2 best, by a mile, mods I have done are the reserve fuel tank and Waeco fridge. They go hand in hand and, of course, without either one, we could not have done it. Maybe freeze dried-not. For that trip the roof rack was full as well as the back of the...

Having posted about a tent that "doesn't look particularly stout for wind & weather", which I agree with - I threw it into the mix because it could be an option for someone - we have used the Big Agnes 4 and thought it was great. Except the zipper. We tried everything to keep them, the zippers...

BigDaddy, don't know if you have bought anything yet, but I was perusing the Hammacher Schlemmer catalog and found this: http://www.hammacher.com/Product/78194?promo=eCatalog Sure looks big enough for the fam and is up in a minute. Freestanding and comes with a rain fly. Lifetime guarantee.

Wow, very nice. -9 is a bit cold for a RTT, but would like to drive in that type of snow. Thanks, Gary

Minor mistakes are in the books and I haven't even started welding. :)

As an update, I am in the middle of building a one-of-a-kind custom water storage tank that will include a 12v pump and some kind of spigot in the rear for water access. Also included will be an on-board hot water system. It will be located just behind the front seats and should hold about 20...

For years I've had my Hi-Lift mounted on my OEM roof rack. That mount changed when I bought a RTT and a new Baja Rack to set it on. With the tent opening out one way, and the two awnings on two other sides, there is no place to mount the jack. I looked at the spare tire and I just know there's...

"If you are reading this, welcome to the Desert Rendezvous Conspiracy" If I can read this not sure if I can join the group. Sure would like to, if not send me to the proper thead. Thanks. BTW, your event is one of a kind and outstanding. We, my wife, the dogs and I have been looking for...

Great Fred, be careful with the recovery, but at the same time push yourself. Muscles atophy very quickly. Back to the desert when you can.

We've had some rotten weather for about a week, (I know I know one whole week?) and yesterday found us with beautiful sunny cold day (cold for us :) - mid 30's). So about 11:30am we decided to check out the southern end of Death Valley. It's had a bunch of rain for a couple of weeks and we...

We purchased one of these: http://www.rei.com/product/761882 about a year ago. Our first use was in Death Valley with 40+ mph winds. With everything staked, we went to bed expecting the worse in the morning. We woke and found the shelter standing just as we left it. This is a great wind shelter...

Very nice job. Excellent ideas with the slide out everything. Stove tucks under the storage unit, a different setup from anything else I've seen. Can the swing out swing closer to the stove and lock in place? Even if it can't the fold down shelf totally completes the kitchen. Gary

F & J, If you get close, I can be your personal guide to Death Valley National Park. Gary

DaPP, just what I was looking for. Duo, if you can find the metal ones, a link would be great. I'd rather buy metal, they will last. The wife and I have an idea in lieu of the whole zipper thing. I think Eeziawn RTT has a bungee type of arrangement for tightening the cover onto the tent...

I posted and thought better and sent PM

I recently bought a used Roof Top Tent, have used it quite a bit and really like it. But a couple of problems have reared their ugly heads. I am hoping that others here can chime in if you have had the same problems and what you did to fix them. The first is the cover zipper, actually the...

Thanks for the report - love the Sonoran desert. Didn't know you can go into there. I would go but don't know if the wife would want to. Though with your really good pics she wouldn't or couldn't say no. It's now on my list. Gary

Fredrik and Josephine, I cannot convey enough my thanks to you both for the time and effort you have taken to post your trip. It was an amazing journey, so well written with great photos. THANK YOU very much. At the same time that you were writing this, I was embarrassed by the crude...

Kirk, Really nice to meet you. We had a great time for the couple of days we were with you all. Nice to see some of the other parts of the Quad. Wish we could have completed all 4 parts. Thanks again, Gary, Paula, Mickey and Scooter
