    Steve & Deb's Hiker Trailer 5X8 Deluxe

    After we got back from our weekend camping, I added a sliding table under the shelf. This will come on handy when we don't want to set up the table, such as a quick lunch break. I'm also in the process of the-bolting the fenders so that I can stand on them, and adding a rear view camera...

    Steve’s 2016 Toyota 4Runner Modification and Adventure Thread

    Catching up on some additions to the 4Runner: I added a Midland MXT115 GMRS radio. Actually, I bought it February 2017, but I didn't know anyone who uses GMRS. Some of the local 4Runner group finally got on board, so I brought mine out and added it to Kevin's RAM Mount solution. I also...

    cooling system for RTT in summer camping?

    Don, When we got the Hiker, one of Deb's requirements was to get an AC unit for hot summer days where we have 110V available. We bought the ClimateRight CR5000ACH, the size larger than what you are considering. Hiker suggested that size due to it cycling less frequently in heater or AC mode. We...

    Active Military & Veterans

    Here are 13 pages of veterans for us all to be thankful for. We wouldn't be able to enjoy our life the way we do without men and women like you. Thank you! https://overlandbound.com/forums/threads/veterans.1420/

    Overlanding with a Kayak

    I used the Thule 450 Crossroad 4-pack, and wrapped them around Subaru's OEM rails. If you have a post-2009 Outback, this might not work for you due to their horrible stow-a-way rack system. I used a variety of load bars, but the 50" worked fine for the two kayaks. https://amzn.to/2K6PYcB I have...

    Ask About Gaia GPS!

    I appreciate you thinking I'm proficient, but I'm barely touching the surface of Gaia on my iPad. I've only used it for a couple of saved trips, and downloaded one map. I like the idea of a video how-to, though. Have you checked YouTube? There's bound to be people that have done something similar.

    Steve & Deb's Hiker Trailer 5X8 Deluxe

    Not mine, but exactly like this, right down to the flags. 95 HP Hercules straight 6 inboard, with brass rudder. I sold it to someone at Buckeye Lake in Ohio, and bought a 1978 23' Sea~Ray Cuddy. Just last fall I finally sold my last of eight boats I've had (excluding the two kayaks I still...

    Steve & Deb's Hiker Trailer 5X8 Deluxe

    That's wild! I spent most of my youth there, too. Both of my grandparents either rented waterfront cottages or waterfront private camping spots every summer, and my Dad was a teacher, so we (to my recollection) spent the whole summer there. Other than when Grandpa's field flooded, Indian Lake...

    Steve & Deb's Hiker Trailer 5X8 Deluxe

    @Road There are vehicle trackers, but they require constant power, and a subscription, so probably not cheap. LoJack and similar products come to mind. There are low power bluetooth trackers to put on things so you don't lose them around the house, but that wouldn't work more than 30 feet or so...

    HA! I already have a mess of keys. I have a different hitch pin lock. I like the idea that you can get one to match the vehicle's key! I'll check into that. I have the Master hitch coupler lock, and that would work for the propane tank, too. I didn't think to get a pair keyed alike last year...
