Hello! I've been car/truck camping for many years but now I am preparing my pickup and myself for an extended trip. This organization has been popping up in a lot of the videos I've been watching and looks like a valuable resource. Being currently "trapped" at home I have been doing a lot of research and a lot of daydreaming of being on the road.
I am building up a F150 which I used on my last road/camping trip when it was stock. I have since added a topper and built living area inside. I put two 100 watt solar panels (charging a 100 amp hour lithium battery) to run lights, charge equipment and run a fridge/freezer which I put behind the drivers seat. Roof racks and a cargo basket have been added to the topper. I upgraded the shocks, wheels and tires. Fender flares and a new front bumper are next.
My traveling companion and best friend is my dog Blue. He loves to camp and travel as much as I do.
I live two miles south of the south entrance of Badlands NP. I'll bet a bunch of folks here have been through my town.
I'm looking forward to being a part of this community and gaining knowledge from the collective experience of the members.
Here's a picture of my pickup in its current state. Also here is Blue enjoying the view in Glacier NP.
