the nice thing is, with a trailer, you can disconnect it and keep your camping spot while you drive to different areas. places like yellowstone, that helps out tremendously. i can only imagine what life is like trying to drive a big rv through the park in summer.

i agree on the modular part, its nice knowing that you can really get your money's worth out of the trailer when it serves multiple purposes. for the pillows, one thing i did was get a bungee cargo net for the back of cars, but i have it in the overhead. when not in use, my pillows go up there...

i went with these for now and plan on using some leveling blocks to make up for any gaps that they don't reach to the ground. i'm working on exactly how to mount them, and i got a few ideas, but i'll need to actually go out there with the jacks and mock them up to see if my ideas work. if i...

i haven't done a huge amount of work on the trailer this year, but i did paint the walls a little different color. i went with an off white that has a little tan to it, so almost the color of egg nog. looks decent, and the best part is that it was an "oops mix" at home depot so it only cost...

I went camping the other weekend and my friend had got one of these collapsible rakes and it worked great at clearing the area around the fire ring. I've already ordered one as it made clearing out the leaves a lot quicker and it doesn't take up a lot of room when folded up. Its definitely not...

i'd say find out where there are trailer rentals near you and test out a couple of them to get a feel for what works and doesn't work for you. something that i took into account after looking at trailers for a little over a year was having the ability to use the trailer for more than just...

monache meadows is kind of out that way and is a fairly easy trail according to the videos i've seen. https://goo.gl/maps/cJBrGF6gxTrpLcQz8

welcome to OB, good to see another SD person here. if you get the chance, you should check out anza borrego's off road park. what's nice is that you can stop in julian for pie either when going out or leaving. the area south of the 78 going on the s2 is cool too. lots of great areas to...

matt foley will forever be by the river in our hearts.

this book has lots of trails in the area with a good description for what to expect and ratings on difficulty. i have this one personally and like it, i always take it with me to new areas in case i decide to explore different trails.

one thing that i overlooked for years, but glad i bought within the last 2 years is a little battery jumper pack for jump starting a car. when i started going out on solo trips, it was hitting me that if i had a dead battery, i could be stuck for a long while until someone else rolls around to...

just saw that costco has the coleman griddle version of their road trip grill. its not compact by any means, but i could see it being nice if you have the room to pack it. being on its own stand, it wouldn't take up space on your table, so that's a plus. also being able to cook multiple...

another idea is to cut out circles the same diameter of the hole and the same depth (thickness) to that first step down so that the circle piece will sit flush with the floor. you could also glue magnets on the bottom side of the circle so that it holds down to the shackle. it'd basically be...

i wonder if there is a drain cover for patio drains that would fit at home depot?

always good to go with another person too. definitely a moment to learn where the limitations are, where there could be improvements, and also things to do way before heading up with a group. comms is a big thing that should worked out before hand. at least i got to recertify my overlanding...

well this past weekend was the first time i got stuck in my suv where i had to hook up a tow strap. went up a trail that had snow, following some friends, and we made it most of the way up. got to the last incline, but it was too slick and i was too heavy with the trailer (thank god i didn't...

i ended up with the classic coleman as well. i tried a couple small stoves and just ended up liking the classic coleman one best. its nice when you're needing to heat two items at the same time so that you don't have one part of your meal colder than another part, especially in the colder...

looking good, i like your build. i did something similar with the bedframe, it is nice not to be directly on the floor and have some storage under the bed so that you don't have to move everything outside just to go to sleep. how do you like your articulating hitch? i've been looking at a...
