    What is your preferred shelter? (Rooftop Tent vs Ground Tent vs Etc...)

    I recently put an RTT on my trailer and tried it for the first time a few weeks ago. I'm not sure if it's my most preferred but I certainly had a good time with it for a few nights. I'm going again next weekend and am looking forward to it.

    Getting the right vehicle

    Same here. We need to organize a flea market. Years ago a bunch of us with extra British car parts in our garages did just that. It was 1978 and, notwithstanding COVID, it's been held every year since!

    Plates and bowls, let's overthink this together

    I needed a couple of stainless steel bowls and all I could find at the time was sets of 4. I went for 2 dog food bowls ... the kind that rest inside a plastic holder, one for food and one for water. I laugh every time my wife and I have breakfast when camping and she has no idea why. I'll...

    PCO6's Off Road Trailer Build

    I haven't updated this thread in quite a while. As mentioned above the original trailer took quite a turn as its build and use changed primarily due to my wife wanting to go camping too. I'm using it for solo trips and we're using the "tear pop" for trips together. I didn't photo-doc the...

    IKamper

    I'll turn 70 this yr. and I tried an RTT for the first time just this past weekend. I didn't plan to get one but couldn't pass up a good deal. I mounted it on top of my trailer so it's only at "half height". I was pleasantly surprised. I had no issues with getting in or out or with changing...

    Sticker Rules

    Period correct stickers are kind of neat. I put this one on my 1989 Jeep XJ. Both have been out of production for decades. I got lucky and found a new one at a flea market.

    What is the last thing you bought and plan to buy?

    After saying I never would I bought a RTT. I got it used and inexpensively enough that I thought I'd give it a try. It might be for sale next year ... we'll see.

    Do you line your Trasharoo with a plastic bag?

    That's what I do too. A 27 litre Rubbermaid trash can fits nicely and even when empty makes a Trasheroo look full. It's a lot easier to put things in and take them out.

    Spare tire solutions, alternatives?

    Thanks! I'd like to help but unfortunately at my age it seems like everything I do is a rush! I have way too many projects on the go and just hope I can find the time to enjoy them.

    Winter project begins

    Be careful. I've created my own junk yard doing things like that! :laughing: I really like what you're doing with this and it matches your tow vehicle perfectly.

    Spare tire solutions, alternatives?

    I wasn't crazy about the cost of the swing arm carriers either so I made my own. It's a little further along than what's shown in these pics and it's almost ready for paint. The key to making it wiggle free was to make a sliding wedge lock that fits into the 2" receiver. I'm also almost...

    Trash carrier option

    I agree. Their products are very well made. I have ATG's 5 lb. propane tank bag and it's tough. Nice guy to deal with too. The Original 5lb Propane Tank Bag | Adventure Trail Gear

    Trash carrier option

    For those with a Trasheroo or thinking of one, I filled mine with a 27 litre plastic waste can to make it a bit more useable.

    Camp gear storage.

    I was thinking of putting a lunch box locker in my Jeep. Now I know what to look for!

    Jeep WK Overland Build

    Nice job overall. :hearteyes: I just picked up a 2005 WK and am sorting out what to do with it. Among other things the storage compartment where the spare used to be is a great idea.
