Just sent you a message!

Will do! There seems to be a lot of information on trails and the dispersed camping is abundant.

Plans have changed and unfortunately we won't be making the trip to CO this summer. Our trip has been shortened and we will be hitting up the Black Hills in SD instead. Thanks for the tips on CO! Hope to get out there next summer!

I would be interested in a mid-June meetup.

I have driven a few more trails in MN since this original question, going a bit faster this time around definitely helped with the side-to-side sway. I have yet to air down, but just purchased a compressor and I'm guessing that will add a lot more comfort to the ride as well. Most recently we...

excellent. I originally had hoped to get the greenlight to head down and do some of the Alpine Loop, but that was vetoed!

I have some experience, but nothing in the mountains. The trails I can find in MN/WI/MI aren't anything too technical. I'm not looking to do any crazy rock climbing. I'd just like to get out and explore in places less traveled. I would definitely be in to meet up while out there!

Hey! We are headed out to CO mid july 2021 for a big family trip. We will be base in Rocky Mountain National Park with inlaws, who are doing some backpacking. Our three year old isn't quite ready for that so I'm looking for other things to do. I'm trying to figure out a loop to drive around the...

We were on a few trails in the UP and then stopped in the St. Helen area on our way through!

I am currently on a trip through MI with the family and taking advantage of their ORV routes as much as possible. We are running a Silverado and loaded down pretty well with gear. The trails aren’t too technical, but there are enough dips and bumps in them to make the truck sway back and forth...

Just got back from rolling around the Spider Lake area. Trails were a little tight and the bugs were definitely out! A few new stripes on the Silverado!

Thanks for confirming my choice! I’m in the Midwest as well and don’t see the spf as an issue. I had the same setup when I lived overseas and loved the awning room. Enough room for a queen sized mattress and our gear!

Went with a roam 6.5x8 with awning room. Will post when it gets installed next week.

Are the boards only mounted at the top mounting points?

Thinking about doing the Tuff Stuff 6.5 x 8 (awning comes out 8' and is 6.5' long) awning with the room attachment. This should alleviate the problem I have with other awnings being too long when mounted for me to get my door open. Has anyone used the Tuff Stuff awning before? Any quality...
