Are you talking about a truck camper like I have or a pull behind. They both have their advantages and disadvantages.
Nope...I dont remember that one. I bypassed a few and if that one had a bypass, I took it!!
There were some deeper than that.
Pull behind. A truck camper wouldnt be enough room for 3 to 4, comfortably.
Ive been doing some looking and Id like to stick to a 10' box. 12' if I have to. Throw the springs over the axle and add wheels and tires to match my truck.

Check out Haggis' setup. He had a post earlier this summer about Drummond and the UP. He has a nice trailer and truck.

We're pretty happy with this set-up, but don't try to drag it down anything more difficult than a two track forest road. Usually we find a good spot to base camp from, go explore and then move on the the next area.
Don't give up on Drummond. We liked it there and we thought the northern section was the nicest up around the Fossil Ledges.

looks like a fun trip! I loved that stuff when I was his age...I'm only 24 and still love it!
Thanks.

Yes...exactly. To be able to have a base camp and shoot of as time allows.
We may actually head back up before the years over.

let us know when you go.
It seems like fall is setting in quick. If it gets to cool, then it wont happen until next year.
Or possibly after we get our pop-up, maybe a winter trip would be in order. Ive been wanting to get to the lake shores during winter for sometime as well.
Seems like theres a fair bit of interest for a trip to the island.

MichiganWheelers.com has a plan for a December run. Check it out.
I checked that out...Someone mentioned 33's and a locker....
Im out!!
All kidding aside...If we do a winter run, itll be very low key.

I would be in for a spring trip..Less bugs and a good challenge..Little cool at night, but good camp fire weather all and all.....Plus my 5 y/o boy and 8 y/o girl go everywhere with me as well....Would be a nice time for kids, and not so stressful traveling alone.
