Entering into New Mexico I set my sights toward Tucumcari and the Ute Lake/Reservoir located northeast of the city. The spirit of old Route 66 still runs strong here along what is now the I-40 Business Spur. I also saw several interesting restaurants that would deserve a visit, old motels with a...

With Spring in the air, I decided to make a month long run from Northern Virginia out to New Mexico. My New Mexico target area would be generally North of Albuquerque and include Santa Fe and Taos with a focus on exploring the National Forests of this region. I desired an easy driving route...

Now well into a month long trip focusing on remote public lands camping without facilities. The Boxio is working out great. I'm completely satisfied with the design and function. It is light, rugged and simple. Glad I purchased it. The separation of liquid/solid waste is very effective...

Just researching this area now for a trip I'm starting next week. Thanks for the photos, report and route #'s!!!

Wonderful report and photos. Thanks and safe travels!

Heading out that general way in April...loving these reports and photos! I see you're aired down...at least you seem to be in a good spot and not knee deep in mud or snow. Best wishes! When I'm out roaming in my camper for a few days or a month...I settle into my camping/exploring mode and...

Hoping to hit that general area in April. Thanks for posting!

One man's opinion: I "truck cap" camped for years out of various trucks and a few years ago went deep into researching pop-up wedge type campers for my Tacoma DCLB. My lifestyle changed and I foresaw with full retirement I would have much more time so I jumped into a larger rig. That said I...

An amazing and thoughtful build. Thanks for sharing & happy travels!

Life with the RAD5 Expand: I just finished a nearly two-month trip down to Florida to escape winter weather and nearly every day I was using the RAD5. A couple of things have become noteworthy that I thought I'd share here, so in no real order let's go: Bike Lock: A lot of errands of...

Great rig…enjoyed the video. GLWS.

Common North American RV practice is drivers side near the rear. Most commercial campground sites are designed to support your RV with that location providing shortest umbilical length.

We are currently roaming around Southern Florida in our other RV. Our FWC and the Boxio are stored Virginia. The real Boxio test will be in April when we head out for a month or more of remote camping out in Texas, New Mexico and Colorado. So far it’s been great on a short trip of two days...

Great observations. Another “seat comfort“ enhancement is using a split pool noodle around the perimeter of the bucket rim.

Thoughts: It's hard to balance a daily driver and a full featured highly capable overlanding rig. This combination will require compromise and some ingenuity. For instance, as you have said first is keeping the weight down. I'd also keep my tire size down to the 33/35" range. I think that...

I had a fiberglass topper from Leer/Leonard that was about 6" above the cab roof. Loved those 6"!

One thought as to cap height: think about your bed/cot situation and select your cap height carefully. Likely you will want to insulate the cap, likely put something down on the floor like a Bedrug and both will reduce headroom just a bit. Over two builds I learned that you will want the...

That first photo caught my attention, thought for a moment that the blown tire on the ground was one of yours...that would have been a story for sure. Glad it was just a plug replacement. As you roam around Texas there is good remote camping at the state wildlife areas. Typically have less...

Great tips so far! Our OZY is a camping veteran: Here are some tips I have not seen mentioned: * I have a rope lead of about 10' with a carabiner clip on one end. The rope is bright yellow...easy to see in the dark. I can easily clip this to about anything and have OZY restrained for...

I now have my Boxio Toilet and can make some initial observations. Caveat: based on one day's field use and urine only. The only real assembly required is the installation of 4 screws with the allen wrench supplied, and the threading and knotting of the cord for the "hinge". The components...
