    US West Tri-Valley Meet Up at Hollister Hills CA OHV Park

    Thanks for the invite. I'd love to go, and it's not too far from my house. But I have to build on my camper trailer the whole weekend, and get it ready for other adventures this spring/summer. Hope to see some pictures from the event!

    Overland trip in May, CA -> NV -> UT -> CO -> NM -> CA. Trail and camping ideas needed!

    Thanks, that's good to know! I'll have to check the average weather for May. I had a feeling it might be a bit too early for CO. Still hoping some scenic roads will be open. I don't mind driving or camping in snow, but of course if doesn't matter if the roads are closed.

    Overland trip in May, CA -> NV -> UT -> CO -> NM -> CA. Trail and camping ideas needed!

    Greetings folks. I'm planning a little overlanding trip in May, starting and ending in the Bay Area. I have 3-4 weeks depending on a couple of factors. I've already seen quite a bit of CA, so I'm just going to cross the Sierras with maybe one night of camping, then head over through Northern NV...

    Need an alternative to Rhino Rack's useless Hi-Lift roof rack bracket

    Greetings. A while ago, I decided to get a platform type roof rack. Unfortunately I spent a truckload of money and bought a Rhino Rack Pioneer platform. Nothing majorly wrong with the platform itself, but the accessories are RIDICULOUSLY overpriced. Just recently, I bought this "3-in-1" bracket...

    Quick-Pitch En-Suite shower - soft bag or alu case?

    Interesting. I've written one email and left one phone message for Backwoods. No response so far. I guess they don't want my business...

    Quick-Pitch En-Suite shower - soft bag or alu case?

    I noticed that they ship some things to the US but when I put the shower room top in the cart with a US address, I got a message that it couldn’t be shipped to the US. Might be worth sending them an email to verify.

    Quick-Pitch En-Suite shower - soft bag or alu case?

    T Thanks. The Drifta top looks cool. They don't ship to the US though. Are there Drifta resellers in the US?

    Quick-Pitch En-Suite shower - soft bag or alu case?

    Hi there. My girlfriend is hellbent on getting a Quick-Pitch En-Suite shower curtain thing: https://www.backwoodsoverland.com/product/quick-pitch-quick-en-suite-aluminum-box-unit/ I've seen them in a bunch of Australian off-road videos, and they look really cool. I'm ready to pull the trigger...

    Overland Trailers - Too Destination Restrictive?

    Greetings. I recently built an off-road trailer. I don't do any serious off-roading per se, but I wanted a trailer that I can put all my stuff on, that will hold the roof top tent, and that can follow anywhere my 4Runner can go. I repurposed an old steel frame utility trailer, and replaced the...

    Overland Camping Drawer v1.0- Photo heavy

    Awesome drawer! I watched the video of the rig walkthrough. Impressive work! I'd love to build something like that myself. How long did it take you to build them? I've been thinking about making drawers out of aluminum for my trailer, just to get the weight down. Very inspiring to see this!

    Snow camping

    It's awesome. My girlfriend and I went to June Lake near Mammoth Friday after thanksgiving. We towed a camper trailer through the snow on CA-88 past Kirkwood. Snow level was around 6,000 ft. The temp dropped to around 22F on the night between Sat/Sun. We brought an extra tent with a Mr Heater...
