thanks for the replies. i love rain but being in high winds is really annoying for me. my camper is pretty light weight. and it's not incredibly high profile, but it's enough that it shakes a lot. if it's going to storm i will usually leave my trailer hooked to the truck. it's not in...

what's the highest wind you've experienced spending the night in your rig? what style rig? RTT, wedge, high profile hard sided vehicle, low profile vehicle, ground tent, etc how did your rig handle it? did you find it necessary to lower your roof, take down awnings, etc, or adjust/add rigging?

i'm kinda the opposite. while i do go out west a lot, any place within 300 miles of me is going to be covered in trees. my solar input is relatively small and i can expect partial shade. and i camp rain or shine. so i need a bigger battery. that's what i was worried about on the temp...

my tastes in the wilderness switch pretty dramatically from what i listen to normally. when camping, i tend to listen to stuff like gabrielle aplin, jethro tull, john denver and bluegrass. when driving, maybe some sons of the pioneers or marty robbins, some rush and soundgarden lol. back...

Ok doing some research. Opinions welcome. new lead acid deep cycle 100Ah would run about $240 and weigh >60lb. So if I replace all 3 of them, I'm spending $720 and still have 180+ lbs. so options are (see spreadsheet at bottom) - 2x 100Ah batteries - gives 30% more usable juice than I had...

Which batteries are you considering?

How many days would WA and OR be?

put me on the list for a later group. since i'm coming from TN, i'm not driving across the country to get there until the virus thing is over

imaginetrailvans.com i recently posted some pics of mine as i was cleaning it out this past weekend. https://www.overlandbound.com/forums/threads/imagine-trailvan-spring-cleaning.30901/

I’m planning something similar in May June but if it slips maybe I can join for a leg or two. I prob won’t go to California

Oh man I missed an opportunity! I should have said that. They all walked by several times and asked from a distance what I was up to

backyard camped over the weekend and did spring cleaning of my trailer/tent. already posted way too many pics lol

i don't think it will kill clubs. clubs will just be more focused on maintaining repeaters.

tried to take another pic, with my finger adjusting the lighting haha. this shows how the tent wall is attached to the side of the camper. HOWEVER, the roof and the rain flies attach via a rope like edge to the fabric that slides through a C-shaped aluminum slot, which you can see in the...

you can see the front bed is pretty roomy. as is the bed on the right in the next pic, which doubles as a bench during the day. both are great to shoot prone from. PETT toilet in the floor next to the fridge slide, a folding table and mirror too. yes, that is a roll of TP in the storage on...

Pretty compact. 11’ long trailer. Made by imaginetrailvans.com in Africa. I imported one back in 2016. Averaging 50 nights per year in it. Solar panel is removable to track sun all day. two double beds pop out front and right. top pops up. I normally just run with the batwing awning (NOT...

i may be showing my ignorance of trucks, but i thought the "bed" was typically just a sheet metal box attached to the frame of the truck. i'd think you'd have to create the suspension, axle, etc. from scratch for your truck bed. and since it's probably designed to rely on the frame for...

lol you guys are cracking me up, but i do like my PETT and tent

so if you bring your wife, you bring your comfy trailer? if not you go rtt?

will be last min before i know if i can go, but i'd definitely like to. i'd say 80% chance i'll be there if it's not canceled due to virus
