Howdy from Texas

[smarrs]

Hi everyone, looking forward to gaining knowledge on places to go and different takes on how people get outdoors. Picked up a trailer last year and worked on it little by little to make family getaways easier. Pretty happy with it now, but have plans to add some sort of shower system and maybe an awning.

I have been a backpacker for a long time and those trips are so simple. Car camping was always such a pain to pack for but now it's as simple as backpacking-gear is always ready, just have to stock the cooler and pack clothes and we're off!

Welcome! Love the trailer, great work. I was also a big backpacker in the day, did over 1.5 years backpacking Austrlaia, NZ and Asia. Now I try to travel or overland as light and as practical as I can. That said, if I can recommend, the Roadshower is a great shower system. I also have a separate water tank, 42 liters from Front Runner, with a small hose system, that I use to wash dishes, boards, and other things.
