    Hmmm, I’m good with Friday or Saturday afternoon/evening for a brewery. Maybe Sunday too, but that’s usually my garage day.

    NC Piedmont/CLT Meet-Up Planning

    I’m interested in meet ups, talking shop, and going on adventures. Best meet up time for me is Sunday late morning to early afternoon. I live in Southend of CLT so really anything inside the 485 loop works

    Wanted Charlotte, NC - want to buy vehicle - $6000

    My last trip needed in a totaled vehicle, thankfully my and my dog walked away unscathed. I am looking for another rig, could be built up, but does not need to be. I’m open to options, I loved my Jeep xj for its size and wheelbase. Looking for anything similar and maybe a little bigger.

    Averaging between 65-72mph, we average 18mpg. We honestly didn’t see a huge drop off in fuel economy, as long as we are not in a hurry.

    The roof top tent was a game changer. Definitely doesn’t replace my love for a ground tent, but it is super convenient and always a head turner. It is wonderful in heavy rain.
