OK, you've already got the truck, so don't discard the idea of a slide-in truck camper. Pack up and go in less than 5 minutes, queen-size bed, cook inside out of the weather, don't have to go outside for those middle-of-the-night bathroom trips, etc. Ours is quite maneuverable and still fits in...

May be off-topic, but that is a NICE photograph!

It wouldn't surprise me if the photos you took while holding the phone tightly turned out to be the more blurry ones. Gripping causes tension, which causes tremor... like marksmanship with a rifle. I would recommend a tripod for sure. Even a small one for your phone will yield an improvement...

Another Dark Sky Preserve to put on the list is Great Basin National Park, which hosts an astronomy festival in September every year. Amateur astronomers bring their telescopes and set up a star-gazing park for everyone to look through their "amateur" rigs. You will not believe how elaborate...

Those are actually pretty good photos for 1. cell phone and 2. hand-held! Did you brace the phone on anything, like a table or the hood of the vehicle? Any post-processing? Thanks for sharing!

Cool trip! Where is that waterfall/crossing?

Great topic! We frequently travel alone in back country areas, but almost exclusively on two-track routes, forest service roads, etc., and not all are maintained on a regular basis. As 2dub pointed out above, the guy who said that knowledge is a key starting point is right on the money. The...

We run Es on our Ram 3500 diesel with a Lance 650 camper. We will routinely air down to 40 lbs on gravel/dirt and down to 25 in soft sand. No issues, no worries. We know other truck campers that go down to 20 with no ill effects. One time our air pump failed and we had to run on 30 lbs for 30...

Well, this is good news! Any information available on this, or do we have to wait for the roll-out?

That would have made a great time lapse sequence!

Wonder how long it would take for someone to drive this thing from southern Arizona to Fairbanks, Alaska with stops for charging? I mean, I can refuel my diesel in about 5 minutes and then head off for another 400+ miles, but charging batteries?

Have you got your permits yet? If not, suggest get on that sooner than later.

Rain squalls over Grand Canyon, north rim remote area, first view to the west, second to the east. Both are stills from a timelapse sequence.

Our 1-ton diesel is called Brutus, 'cause it's a brute. Even up the steepest highway passes with the camper on, we've never found the bottom of the accelerator - always had to back off.

Nikon D600 - I do primarily landscape, timelapse, and travel videos, or promotional videos for non-profits in our area at no charge. I also use a couple of GoPros and a DJI Mavic Air 2. But being in southern Arizona, it might be a tad far to make a meetup in Virginia! I was stationed at...

Near Colville, Washington.

Did not take long to decide that the map included in the Overland Bound tablet app is really all I need for land nav. I have a Dual XGPS160 which gives my non-gps tablet all the gps capability it needs. I assume the map app requires an internet connection to function? Any thoughts that this...

White Pocket, AZ in the Vermilion Cliffs National Monument.

DJI Mavic Air 2, screen grab from video. Vermilion Cliffs Nat'l Mon. Drone use legal here as the area is administered by the BLM and not the NPS.

I got the hard-core rock crawling out of my system a long time ago. Enjoyed it immensely at the time (and truth be told, it can be a lot of fun) but my interests have changed. Now, my Ram 3500 takes us wherever we want to go without any problems at all and we camp in comfort at the destination...
