Yes, thank you so much for posting your adventures! I've been following your thread for a while and it helps me get through the winter blues dreaming about places I will go someday. Keep exploring and showing us the beauty that's both close to home and far away!

I understand you rooting for them! I live less than 100 miles from their facility so it's nice to see a new popup camper coming from somewhere other than the West Coast. Three years ago when I was in the market I would have checked them out for sure in person! I ended up with an AT Summit...

I used to have the Freedom plan for my original inReach mini. I would pay $35/year to have the ability to turn-off the service at any point(I only took a couple remote trips a year) and the most basic plan was $15/month for the months I actually needed it. So, for $65-80/year I was covered in...

Pick whichever one takes up less space in your garage because if you're like me you'll keep bumping into it wishing you used it more!

Measurbating? Lol You're not kidding about rotational weight! I just swapped tires and only went up 3 pounds/tire. I immediately dropped over 2 mpg, but this is on a 4-cylinder Tacoma(underpowered) so maybe not as big a deal on larger rigs?

I remember Galyan's! They got bought-out by D i c k ' s Sporting Goods and went to crap. Pendleton is good stuff! I use a wool blanket(not as nice as Pendleton, but decent) and a Rumpl synthetic.

I got on that deal the last time he had some! Picked up two, but now I need one more. I keep checking eBay occasionally to see if he posts more for sale.

Here's a pic from my most recent trip. I've had my AT Summit for over two and a half years and nothing but good things to say! Only mod I've made to the truck is a set of Alcan leafs right after installing the topper. Perfect for me!

Nothing is superior to the wedge. Have a good night! Seriously though, I kinda want to drive 9 hours to Expo East to see one in person...

Does this come with a 12v adapter? I don't see one in the Van Cafe pics. Thanks!

I use this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B076S6KBP2?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title It's made for smaller areas(like inside a camper) and I know from experience it works!

I know. Not a huge deal if you're just hauling a bunch of mulch or a rick of firewood home. These campers, however, are semi-permanent and make the truck drive like a DOG. I hope nobody gets into an accident while driving with too much weight. If I'm a claim adjuster first thing I'm doing...

I've got no issue with the price considering the market(and quality). My issue is these companies keep designing 1000lb+ campers for MIDSIZE trucks. I own a Tacoma and that's already over max payload- barebones and empty! They should have just designed it for full-size trucks and keep the...

Great looking truck! Maybe change your username...LOL

Only two things I liked about the campground in Arches:. 1. You don't have to worry about timed-entry with campground reservations. 2. Some pretty good hiking trailheads in the campground. Otherwise, I thought it(the campground- not the park) was very overrated. Sure, there's some beautiful...

Are you talking while deployed or while driving? Again, I have the Summit which -while driving -is identical to the Atlas. I feel the streamlined shape with sloped walls helps it cut thru the wind better. In fact, in two years of having it mounted full-time on my Tacoma I have been averaging...

North Face is now part of Vanity Fair. Mountain Hardware is now owned by Columbia. You're only going to keep seeing a sea of clothing at major outdoor retailers because, like others have said, it's where the PROFIT comes from. Socks are the most profitable thing at the place I work! Not...

Sure, if a thief is determined enough they can get into anything. My truck doesn't have power locks for the tailgate, but I know a pry bar is all really needed to pop-open the back panel that sits ABOVE the tailgate. I keep everything locked at all times and just hope the casual opportunist...

No front slider here! In fact, I opted for ZERO windows in my AT Summit for security(not really a factor with the front slider) and insulation(definitely a factor). Also, it allowed me to place my galley up front leaving me still with 5 feet of space in my long bed Tacoma!

I have a few things I do for the cold weather in my truck camper. Mine is fully-insulated with only a couple windows and those have insulated panels over them. I realize you have a van which is probably more space you're trying to warm and more windows, but maybe this will help? First is a 0...
