One further thing to ponder is whether to have 1 mattress or 2. I camp solo for about half of my trips so I bought 2 tri-fold mattresses (27" x 74"). I'm quite happy on mine and I enjoy the extra floor space. I have no idea what my wife does with hers when I leave it behind.

I camped with this set up a few weeks ago. It's a basic 6.5' x 6.5' awning with a 4 sided hub screen tent with a cot next to it. I did my cooking, etc. out of the cargo area with the tailgate for a bit of over head coverage. It was simple and comfortable.

That works great! It's been a while since I've had the hatch panel off and I didn't pay much attention to the latch when did. It looks like it's pretty simple to add an interior release. Funny thing is that I have a small piece of tape there to assist when backing up my XJ to hitch up a...

Yes, I used ABS for the window vents, 2 sheets glued together with window screen in between. I also used fence trellis pieces from Home Depot to attach them to the top of the windows. I roll the windows down to about half way, place the parts on and then roll them up. I made rain gutters...

I sleep in the back of my XJ too and find it quite comfortable. I go in head first from the passenger's side. I had a 4 dr. years ago and liked it. I wasn't sure about camping with a 2 dr. but it's been great. I think I prefer it. I built a tire carrier since taking this pic. It freed...

I picked a bad day to pull out the windshield to clean up the frame. :unsure:

These are a few that I enjoy ... https://www.youtube.com/@WorkshoptoWilderness https://www.youtube.com/@Lonewolfwildcamping

Yes, those are good quality cabinets, and that does make a difference.

Nice trailer build and I really like your shop! Are those Lista cabinets along the walls?

I've almost convinced my wife that if I have enough Jeeps I won't have to plow the driveway ... almost.

I'm getting ready for this year's camping but also looking back at 2023 when I camped with 3 Jeeps and with 2 trailers and with no trailer. I did several solo trips, some with just my wife and I and others times with our tear drop group of 20 or so. It was a good year!

I mounted my shovel and axe to to the tongue box on my trailer. The axe is locked to the box with a keyed bike lock. I drilled a 3/8" hole in the handle and the lock passes though it into a uni-strut 3/8" thread anchor plate. The shovel is secured by a pair of medical cart clamps I found...

I wear these which are simple Ozark Trail slippers that I got at Walmart. They're great for in and out of my RTT & tear drop trailer. Also good for just sitting around in the morning before I get going. They have a rubber sole that is fairly waterproof. They're made of memory foam but I've...

I'm curious about this too. Also, have you decided what kind of ports / ducts you will be attaching to your camper shell?

This was on a recent 2 night solo trip. This RTT is really only big enough for one so my wife refuses to go - lol. We also have a tear drop for the two of us.

I saw this in a FB Marketplace ad for pickup truck a few days ago. I've never heard of this before. I think both of these sellers will be sitting by their phones for a while. I wouldn't bother with either of them. "For our safety and yours as recommended by Ontario Ministry of...

I enjoyed your article. I have a friend who is restoring a late 60s Bambi. He's not into off roading Maybe I can talk him into it! lol

LOL

I doubt anyone would still be interested in one of these but this is what I first camped in with my family back in the 60s. We didn't hunt in it but our NOMAD was designed so you could arrive, take the boat/top off and get to your destination by water. See the bottom right water shot in the ad.

So will I !!! LOL !
