Anyone going to The Rooftop Tent Rally at James River State Park? I have not seen much information on this in the forums, and it’s not posted on the website calendar.
...totes of water/fuel and make sure i have plenty of solar and battery since we wont have any hook ups. for remote camping we'll take a shower tent and a portable loo since we dont have the trailer.
i find that there are two main things that i really need to address for ANY trip to be a...
Hello
I’ve used Exposed Racks on my Jeep; & I love them! The Click-in system makes setting up and removing the tent super easy, and I appreciate that they don’t require drilling. They’re very versatile for switching between a roof-top tent and a soft top. Highly recommend them if you want a...
...a ProTops camper shell for now and laid in DECKED to make for a bed platform, so that I can travel with my large dog who can't get into a topper tent. Currently working on a Goose 40% 2nd row seat delete. The truck is a bit heavy and long but extremely comfortable. Living accommodations are...
I'm probably going to post up in my usual spot. ///slabs.speedily.owner
Will also have my OB flag up.
Ill definitely stop by though. Be there tomorrow afternoon.
For those of you meeeting up. I’ve got the little camper with overland bound flag flying off the awning just on the other side of the event. You will also see my 3rd gen 4Runnner and a gazelle tent on the other side of that when come towards the trailer. Big space here and a big firepit.
...at around 4200ft. up top of one of the mountains (no comment from Rockies guys, lol...). This time I didn't get the Room out, just threw out a tent under my awning, with more rain expected....
Andy always camps light, which is good since the Celica doesn't fit much!
Marwan had his new...
...not sure yet, open to recommendations.
Portable ac, zero wave or eco cool (I think those are the names)
Some form of heater for the tent (Open to suggestions).
Rear air bags to help my suspension from sagging if that's an issue, TBD.
Rugged ebike so I can explore when off...
Also this week we will be at Expo in Arrington. We are staying offsite this time. The week of the 17th we will be back in the same area for the Rooftop Tent Rally at James River State Park.
You're already up in the breeze so limit the cold air coming under the tent. Make a sham like on your bed that goes around the bottom of the bed.
Then get a good sleeping bag. Not from Walmart.
North Face or better.
Remember there are folks sleeping at 25.000 ft right now on Everest. Dig deep.

...smaller bottle of coolant.
Yakima Skybox 12 (long, narrow at 24” wide) on my Rhino Rack rails atop my Snugtop canopy carries my Gazelle T4 tent, Gazelle Gazebo, camp chairs.
Oh yeah, square sided bucket that doubles as (lined) toilet. Square sided fits better and the top edge is wider and...
For a budget-friendly sleeping pad, consider the Therm-a-Rest Z Lite Sol or the REI Co-op Flash. Both offer good insulation and comfort without breaking the bank. Another option is the Klymit Static V, which is lightweight and packs down small. These pads are durable and should work well for...
Camped outside of Taos New Mexico one late June with no tent. The night got so cold and freezing rain came down intermittently (not sure the altitude), I wrapped myself in my sleeping bag and rolled myself in a tarp like a human burrito. When I woke up, I was frozen shut. Broke out of it when...
