Still have a fairly long list of things I want to get; some can wait... some couldn't.

There isnt an end to that list until one realizes you can get by without a lot of the tings you thought you need. I was one of them and now I am scrutinizing everything I buy a lot better.Just hit up Amazon for a Headrest Med Kit and all the "trama" stuff to go in it; also picked up a deflator kit to facilitate the air down process. Next purchase will probably be a portable compressor for those time I have to air back up.

Will it serve as a bed platform as well.
Enthusiast III
Sure will! Great to have the option to “stealth camp” when necessary.

Out of curiosity I have to ask, why do you feel the need for stealth. I ask because I need to know if their is a danger in some way by not being stealthy. I understand need for privacy, is that what you are calling stealth ?
Enthusiast III
When I say “stealth camping” I’m referring to situations (though rare) mainly when traveling through urban areas where deploying a rooftop tent for example may not be feasible are safe. Think WallMart parking lot or truck stop parking lots.

Speaking of drone, I did order the DJI Mavic Mini to add to my photography arsenal. Will see how it goes.

Just purchased the following for my JKU build...

Let me know how it goes.

I have always considered these places pretty safe and welcoming but I'd never park away from the traffic areas. Do you have a shell topper or something like that to conceal your presence inside the rig ? If you have an RTT on top, and you dont deploy it, how do you conceal the fact you are in the bed of the truck. Do you have side and rear curtains you can pull down to conceal yourself and cargo when you sleep on the platform ?
Member III
Sure can. In the meantime, just be cruising YouTube videos on tips, etc.

Do you use them for surveillance of the Terrain or just for photography ?
Member III
Right now just thinking for photography. Good idea for surveying terrain. This is just their basic entry level drone, which doesn't go as far as their more expensive models.

Please disregard my previous questions. I have a bad habit of reading the old posts before I get to the new post and should do just the opposite except that I dont like to miss out on the conversation.

So many helpful devises available these days. Hard to decide when you need them and when you dont. Certainly a lot cheaper than buying propane lanterns and very handy around the rig or tent inside and out.Picked up a couple of these Goal Zero lanterns on sale - they collapse flat and best of all are solar powered - no batteries.

I’m just in the beginning stages of this build. The plan is to put a topper on just deciding which one to go with. I’m 6’7” so sleeping in the bed of any of the trucks I’ve had doesn’t happen often but it’s nice to know that I can if needed. As the build progresses we’ll be posting about it all on our social channels and blog. I’m also sure I’ll be reaching out to this forum for advice as we go!
I’m sorry to go off-topic, but I was so confused when I saw your name and I knew I hadn’t posted in this thread!
