    Toyota Motorhomes

    I'd advise rummaging through nationwide searches for 'em at Craigslist such as this collection or this one, to see what the range and conditions are. Swap the "Toyota" for "Datsun" as needed...

    LockingHub.com, a site that rounds up spiffy 4x4 vehicles from eBay & Craigslist

    In case anybody is not already aware of it, a nicely done web site here where an afficionado apparently goes looking for some of the nicer old 4x4s out there: http://www.lockinghub.com/ Also, http://bringatrailer.com/ occasionally has old or classic 4x4s, although they tend to focus more...

    Camp Stereo

    Understandable, but consider the vehicles passing by are doing just that, with periods of quiet in between. In the campgrounds I stay at, on the random occasions when someone decides the natural sounds are not enough, the music is on for hours. Non-stop. That's a large distinction, made worse by...

    Camp Stereo

    Those are the qualifier words that would give me concern along with others who prefer to enjoy the wilderness as close to city music-free as possible. Myself, I have never bothered anybody with tunes. I leave 'em in the city, they will be there when I get back. Further, I go so far as to close...

    Camp Stereo

    No offense, but there might be cases where you think you are alone but you can't see the others. And it has irritatingly been my experience that "low" for those with the radio is not anywhere close to low enough. I drive 500 miles from the monstrously noisy city to escape to the 'dead quiet'...

    Chevy Chalet

    I tuned into the auction perhaps within a minute or two after it was cut off and was surprised to see where it says "winning bid $5200", but the bid amount had gone up to at least $6100 like it says at this snapshot intro page. Strange, the seller might have gotten even more had the auction run...

    4x4 Chevy Astro Provan Tiger GT

    I figured somebody out there would have done a full-on 4x4 conversion. First one I've seen.... http://rockies.craigslist.org/rvs/3341377368.html

    Chevy Chalet

    Still awaiting the serial # & build date from the seller. Compare 'n contrast to the #0023 still at the dealership in Atlanta for almost 20 grand. http://www.streetsideclassics.com/showcar.php/atl/831/ That one will probably remain there unsold for a long time unless some person buys it after...

    Yellow power wagon expedition vehicle

    Couldn't resist a couple of Photoshop alterations. Original Flickr site photo link here. First, an "Avalanche" wagon.... then a "Blazer/Bronco" (or whatever) wagon

    GoPro Hero 3

    Valiantly trying to win one of these (no way my thin affords one at the present time) in order to do exactly that. Though some do quite nice videos of their backroads treks, as in this example, I'd like to have my own where I can be the director of photography.

    Blazer Chalet

    '76 Blazer Chalet in Phoenix, $3800 http://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/cto/3337209002.html Haven't had a chance to look at it yet, but did talk to the seller last week. It is serial #0456 built in 8/76, a New Mexico truck for a long time, so it's likely to be a bit on the dusty side in need of...

    Blazer Chalet

    A Chalet "shell-only", to be more specific. That unit is serial #1444, built in 10/76. "Chalet" really means the entire factory-original vehicle, since these were not simply a camper unit option that could arbitrarily be added onto just any Blazer in the dealer lot.

    Willys Wagon on Jeep TJ chassis

    But unfortunately (for the temporary time being, hopefully) every last functioning link to the article blew up. Google shows it was there yesterday, including a few images of it... Handy thing about the internet is that ultimately, what has been seen on it cannot be unseen.

    Post your tents

    A basic cheapo tent given to me by my older brother, I don't think I ever looked at the brand name on it. The goal has been ultimately to sleep indoors, and I thought I'd achieved that with my former Chalet, but I never completed the restoration enough to have it ready for camping. So, the goal...

    When does truck become a RV

    Chalets are more often than not designated as RVs, but to avoid any hassle of registering mine at the DMV, I brought along an original brochure so the clerk was assured I wasn't trying to pull some kind of scam clerk.

    what happened to Sierra4x4 trailer tread.

    If I may, a suggestion based on my experience working at a small mfg'er of a unique product, but the place suffered from angry customers. As the front office worker, I took the brunt of the complaints, and sided with the customers over a very simple matter that the boss could have easily...
