I'm in the brain storming phase for our next camper. I tow with a JKU. Need to sleep up to 4 (2 kids) and a dog. I just sold my Casita which was great, but not off-road capable. I'm not going to take a trailer on the trails, but needs to be overland/forest road capable and be an off-grid...

I have lots of experience backpacking, camping, tiny RV'ing (Casita), but my upcoming trip is my first "overlander" doing 10 days on the roads and trails across Georgia. We'll have 4 jeeps, but I'm packing like I'm going solo just in case. We have a designated trail chef cooking all the meals...

I want to add a couple of soft shackles to my gear bag. I don't want some knock-off chinese crap. Who makes good shackles from good 'ol amsteel blue?

We have a Casita 17' travel trailer that works great. However, our 2 boys are soon to outgrowing the little bunk beds they sleep in. I'm trying to find a minimalist "camper" that will fit in the bed of our '18 F150 (5.5' bed) for them to sleep in while we tow the Casita. Bonus- If it can hold...

I have a Casita travel trailer, but I'm thinking about getting a small off-road type trailer for going to rougher camping areas or even when I'm cub scouting with my boys. It won't get pulled on the trails, just to them. I'm newly retired from the Navy, I have a 2 car garage, a new Millermatic...

I'm already invested into an REI basecamp 6 which was $500 w/ footprint. However I'm not happy with it. The full coverage rain fly (which I need in south florida) has no option to be partially open for ventilation yet keep out rain. It's either fully rolled up, in which case the back window...

I have a Casita travel trailer. It really doesn't go off-road, but I'm lifting it 3" and going to run 16"x6" wheels. I think a LT 225/75R16E tire will be about right (30x8.8 on a 6" rim). I was going to go with the obligatory BFG all terrain, but I'm running 37x13.50R17 STT Pros on my...

I like to have "the best" that isn't crazy priced. I did tons of research and splurged on a $450 REI basecamp 6 and the $50 footprint. It's a very well made tent with top spec aluminum poles, etc. My issue is that I live in Miami and camping down here (I got home today from 3 days/2 nights)...

Is a fridge slide worth having? Which one? How did you mount it? How much room does it take when the fridge is out of the jeep?

Off-roading in the everglades in the summer requires some shade when stopping for lunch. My 10x10 ez-up is way to big and heavy to take along in the back of my wrangler. There's got to be something better than the 40 pounder coleman from wal-mart. About 10x10 would be great, and needs to pack...

I'm looking for good ideas for carrying a spare part kit with an extended range of tools for when I go off-roading, yet can be removed when the jeep is my daily driver. It needs to fit next to my ARB 50 QT fridge. I have 2' x 2' of room. I was thinking along the lines of the MTM ammo crate...

I'm ready to buy some equipment for cooking outside at the campground with my little camper. I'd rather buy once, cry one and get something that'll last years and let me cook breakfast, lunch, and dinner for a family of 4 and tie into my propane tank. Coming from a tent or backpacking...

I'm really on the fence between a Ruger 6' adventure trailer with an extra large RTT vs getting a fiberglass 16-17' travel trailer built (Scamp, Casita, Escape) Tow vehicle: '15 Wrangler Rubicon with 35's, 4.10 gears, already have T3 brake controller and 7 pin connector installed. Who: Me, 2...

Anyone seen these? I'm not sure how'd they'd work for a budget camping trailer. I'm not too trilled about the rounded corners for stacking gear inside, but it's half the price of an expedition trailer. http://letsgoaero.com/trailers/spec-ops-anyroad-trailers/

I need a small trailer to haul my camping stuff. I'll have to drag it up around to the back of my house by hand for storage, so weight is key. I was about to get a HF red trailer, but found Northern Tool has an aluminum one with LED lights and diamond plate fenders. I don't see any stake...

I have the ARB 50qt fridge on the passenger side. I'm looking for the perfect combination of Rubbermaid bins, action packers, or something else that will stack up to the roof and allow me to carry my camping gear in an organized fashion. Last weekend I had 3 sleeping bags and pads, tent...

New 50qt ARB fridge. Runs fine on 110VAC. I just wired up my rig and installed it. Nothing. I have 14 gauge wire running off a 30amp dedicated circuit (painless wiring trail rocker) and using the ARB socket. I have 12.7 volts all the way to the plug that goes into the fridge. I hold the...

New fridge. It's empty and plugged in to AC power. I first set it as 37, and when I went to check on it, it's showing 32. Then I set it to 41 and come back a few hours later and it's 31? Why is it running 10 degrees colder than set? Is it messed up? Or maybe reading funny because it's...

I'm in the processes of downsizing my gear. I have a Weber Q that's always worked great on trips, but boy does it take up some real estate in the back of the Jeep. And it rattles and bangs off road. What's a good tiny grill for burgers and hotdogs? Or maybe I should just stick to food that...

I'm heading up to the Vermont Overland Rally in October. I'll be travelling solo and I'm going to be going with my new ARB 50QT fridge and a few rubbermaids full of camping gear. I have a 3" self inflating mattress and nice sleeping bag. I'm 5' 10". Will I be comfy with the rear seats down...
