I have kids 8, 6, and 4. They like the digital experience, but if you take them outside they will learn to enjoy it all on their own. It helps to have some outside toy's, but it doesn't take much. Most parks have some pretty great outdoor type toys for kidos. Snacks are important, they always...

I see, thanks for clarifying. I think the livinlite quicksilver 6.0 would work well for up to 3 adults and plenty of room to stand up to get dressed. And with a short jeep could probably stand it up at the end of a single garage and fit both the tent trailer and the jeep. I don't see bad weather...

Good to know. I've never camped in a teardrop. Surprised you could fit 4 in there in comfort all day with a teardrop that doesn't appear any taller than your truck.

I'd get one of those small jeep tent trailers. Can't take more than 5-10 minutes to open up and much cheaper than a teardrop. I like how tent trailers bring the outside inside, 360 degree views instead of small windows to peak out of. Storage is also important. I can't stand paying for storage...

Been following this thread for a while. I can't understand for the life of me why anyone would buy a mid-sized truck that only gets 15mpg when you can get a full size truck that will get 30% better mileage. Maybe I'm just uninformed about Tacoma trucks, but If I was a Toyota truck fan and...

Cool thread thanks for sharing. Congrats on getting engaged. Nice job with bumper. Recommend a skid plate up front.

The old suv vs van vs truck debate is a tough one. I ran both a 4x4 truck and 4x4 conversion van. The van was my designated road trip vehicle. I got rid of the van to buy a new 4x4 truck. The gasser van was just an added expense I didn't need as the truck could do everything the van could do and...

Yeah I've been pretty happy with my 10x10 Kodiak. I have the 10x14 Kodiak screen house too. The screen house is actually lighter because there is no floor. The tent and poles come in separate bags so you don't have to carry all 60lbs in one bag. All the work is in getting stakes down and out...

If you have money to burn you could install an Topper EZ lift system.

If your just going to haul camping gear and no RTT then consider a soft topper as they are about 1/3 of the price.

I had a 4x4 conversion van (short body) and have always had a 4x4 chevy z71. For me the van just didn't have the cargo space as I also travel with a family of 5. I was putting cargo around the seats and floor, which was just not as safe as having it all in the bed of a pickup. Found out that the...

The GM vans with new 2.8L duramax diesel get 24mpg, but Quigley is not converting them yet. Didn't see Nissan on your list. They make a pretty cool van with more of a truck hood/front end. The passenger vans come with seats that are all removable and can be shuffled around into different...

With 4 kids I'd get a 4x4 van and at least try to bring the disabled boy along.

I bought an O'grill, used it twice. It works well, but cleanup is not fun. Going to try foil underneath burners next time. I put a cast iron griddle on it for breakfast cooking, which works well. Much better pack size than most grills. I like how it has a cover that closes and can pretty much...

New they are cheaper than a 4x4 suburban and can haul twice as much....much easier to modify too. May consider an AWD chevy van. Many GM conversion vans had 4 doors, but was a non issue for me. I had babies in mine for all 5 years of ownership. It's easy to get them in the carseat. I would get...

Great vehicle. Had good friend that abused the hell out of one when we were teenagers. Only real problem I recall was that he had to replace intake manifold...... something about antifreeze leaking onto it, but that would of been avoidable had he just done basic maintenance and caught it in...

I would step up into a suburban for no other reason than you can get a 3/4 ton, which will hold value better in addition to hauling/towing more weight.

Didn't realize this was a problem. On boat we always use fresh water marine treatment.

Without question you need to replace all 3. I've got a boat on trailer that may see 1,000 miles a year if I'm lucky. Tires are 4-5 years old, blew one at end of last season. They are all getting replaced before this season. Jack up the trailer and turn the wheels you will see they have likely...
