    What are the BEST pop-up campers???

    I believe that this is the best pop up trailer built. Disclaimer: I purchased the first one from Mission Overland. So mine is the prototype; future ones will only get better. Mark has some even better pics on his Facebook page for Mission Overland. We'll be adding a Darche 270 deg...

    I gently disagree. What I see is a group of like minded people sharing their concerns and planning for a great future for everyone.

    "We abuse land because we see it as a commodity belonging to us. When we see land as a community to which we belong, we may begin to use it with love and respect." That was written by Aldo Leopold back in the 1930's.

    Interesting how this forum and overlanding has changed over the years...

    Threads like this always amuse me. I'm 70 y.o. When I was born in 1948 the U.S. population was ~150 million and the world population was 2.5 billion. In 2017, the U.S. population was 325 million and the world is up to 7.76 BILLION. I just read a report that says in the period from roughly...

    Overlanding pop up camper

    Now that Mark has just about completed our build, we are looking for things to make it "ours". We think that this is a good start.

    Beaches of Baja 2019

    We will be coming from the north. Plan on hitting Dinosaur Nat'l Park and areas north. But could possible change plans. What date do plan on leaving Four Corners area? This sounds interesting! BTW, you are doing a heck of a lot better than me. Remember how I was limping around last Sept...

    Beaches of Baja 2019

    Great report again Ace. I am beginning to feel that just maybe I may not ever make it to Baja. I'd love to try it once with Nanc, but there are so many other places that are calling and so little time. BTW, your really are an old timer; I'm only 70. Got Nanc interested, really interested, in...

    Trailer vs. Roof

    Let me throw in one more variable for you. After 20+ years of tenting and sleeping on the ground the wife and I switched to an Autohome medium Columbus Variant for ~15 years. We loved it. Disconnect one latch in the back, pop open, pull out ladder and it was ready to go. Reverse for closing...

    Overlanding pop up camper

    Mark, How much space for storage will there be when the drawer is closed? Between rear of drawer and the back of the driver's side door? Trying to figure out storage for solar panel, chairs, rollup table, etc.

    Overlanding pop up camper

    An outfit called TetonX showed something similar at Overland Expo West last year, but I've never heard if they got it into production. It had a lot of really neat ideas built into it. Obviously, I like this one better!

    Overlanding pop up camper

    Mark, a lot more room under the stove/sink than I had imagined. How much is taken up by water and gas plumbing? Is there enough room at the end of that slider to install a towel rack? BTW, I carry a small wisk broom with soft bristles just to sweep dust off stuff once I get into camp.

    Overlanding pop up camper

    I'm thinking about storage for dishes, cups, pots & pans, spices, etc. Could you mount a black cabinet just like the one you have on the driver's side for water heater and shower on the passenger side? Have the door open toward the back of the rig, on inside of door small shelf for spices, salt...

    Overlanding Off Road pop up camper

    This is exactly what I am looking for! When will you be able to show some pics of what the bed looks like? Could you swap out the tires for some BFG AT KO2's to match my rig? How much head room is there in the back of the trailer? Could I put a porta-potty in the back for use at night? How...

    Viva Baja! First Timer's Baja Impressions

    Well done sir! Great write up and super photos. Nanc and I will have our new trailer broken in pretty well by this time next year. So hope that Ace will be taking another group to Baja next winter. Ace is a wonderful travel companion and I’m looking forward to spending additional camping time...

    Jeep gladiator build

    The I believe that Mark is correct in going in this direction. The trailer market is getting pretty competitive with new manufacturers popping out of the woodwork all the time. Having said that, I still would purchase a trailer built by him due to age constraints, etc. Wifey and I no longer...

    Beautiful setup! How well does the ZR2 pull the trailer? Got any inside shots?
