    Onboard Water Tank?

    Couple questions for those of you that have "permanent" onboard water on your trailer. What kind of tank are you using, how is it mounted, and how do you have it plumbed? I have a CVT trailer I have been building out for a while, and now I am on to water. I would like roughly 20 gallons. I'm...

    Plates and bowls, let's overthink this together

    I was surprised to find the same honeycomb bottom on the Walmart brand set I mentioned a few posts up. I really am pleased with them especially at a fraction of the cost of Sea to Summit.

    Plates and bowls, let's overthink this together

    Check out the camping section at Walmart; they have a nice set of 2 plates, 2 plastic ware sets, and 2 collapsible cups for like $7. The cups are a joke but the rest I really enjoy. The plates are deep dish so less risk of food going overboard while while eating at camp. I have seen similar by...

    Telescopic Awning 1.0

    My ARB awning uses the side poles, but honestly I have wondered it they are really necessary. I highly recommend guying out the free end regardless of wind conditions; I've learned that lesson the hard way. With the tension in the guy lines and adjustable height legs, you don't have to have side...

    geoRunner CVT Trailer Build

    Very nice build sir. I have a CVT as well, and you're right they're built like a tank. I've been very pleased with it in the year we have had it. What are the stabilizers you have and how did you attach them? If you can, do you mind adding a picture with a closer look?

    Pagosa Springs in June.

    So good! Those caramels just melt in your mouth. We make a family trip to Pagosa every few years; I'm so ready to be there in a few weeks.

    Pagosa Springs in June.

    Let me know if you find anything. I will be there for about a week at the end of the month. A couple other food suggestions for you as well. There is a place call the Choke Cherry that makes their own jams, salsa, etc. If you like caramels, you have to pick some up they're delicious. There is...

    Awning brackets

    I just picked up some heavy zinc coated steel L brackets from Lowes. They were 8 or 10 inches, I can't remember, predrilled. I think I may have been able to use the existing holes for both the awning and rack sides; maybe drilled one hole at most. Then took an angle grinder and cut off any extra...

    Trip to Utah in July

    We passed through Utah last summer connecting Yellowstone to Colorado. Only time I've been, but plan to go back after that trip. We camped at the Flaming Gorge near Red Canyon, I think is the name of it. It was awesome, and at a higher altitude it wasn't hot. Also wanted to head into the...

    What knife/utensil kits are you using?

    Wal-Mart has a nice set up for 2 people for like $6. Back in the camping section. The plates have thicker bottoms and the bowl-like edges which are nice when your food tries to slide or roll off into your lap. The collapsible "cups" are just okay, but they are graduated so I keep one or two in...

    Colorado Dispersed Camping Question

    39 18.111,-106 34.775 That is where we camped. Most of the sites we saw along that road, 105, were just enough room for a vehicle, maybe a small tent, and a fire ring. The spot we stopped had plenty of room for my Tacoma, tent, cook area, fire ring, and plenty of room for the kids to run...

    Colorado Dispersed Camping Question

    Just got back from a big trip that took us through CO. First thing, stay informed on the wildfires as our trip was cut a week short due to the fire in the Weston Pass area and an evac area north of Cripple Creek. Now more specifically to your question. We went through the White River NF, and...

    Offroading Colorado>Montana

    Me either. I'm sure there are people with experience that could suggest other routes. Being from Oklahoma, I was overwhelmed at first with the options available out there. Came across some vids and info on the BDR and ran with it.

    Offroading Colorado>Montana

    I'm working on a similar route, just in reverse, for this summer. I've been watching some of the videos on the backcountry discovery route, or at least part of it. There are several options if FS roads to connect city to city. From Springs head west toward Buena Vista to Leadville/Turquoise...
