    Full-time

    As I said, 4 years in and it’s hard for us to imagine living any other way. Our 40’ fifth wheel is a huge space for us now and we couldn’t imagine a massive amount of space that a conventional house brings. We do almost all of our cooking outside and most nights we sit by the fire. We don’t have...

    Full-time

    We moved into an RV 4 years ago and although we don’t travel full time we do stay for long stretches of time in a lot of different places. It takes away all of the monotony of staying put but maintains some stability. This is a much less expensive way to live which enables us to do fun things...

    Attaching a Roofnest Falcon to a Front Runner slimline

    I got the tall mounting brackets but not for a tent. I found that they serve multiple uses. I mount my road shower with them. They are 1+” above the top of the side rails of the FR rack and 2+” total height. The only thing I would say about this because I wanted that tent is that it gets pretty...

    Canoe + Spare Tire = Roof Rack

    Put the spare on the rear bumper that swings to the side and then the roof is clear for a canoe or whatever else you want to put up there.

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Thank you!! Just a few major things left on her. The next thing is the rear axle because it leaks pretty good and needs an air locker. Then rust repair and interior. Who am I kidding? Vintage trucks are never done. It is about time for a surf trip up the coast though.

    270 awnings...Drivers side or passenger??

    I want to hook up a solar panel

    I have it installed on the firewall behind the dash so you can’t see the unit itself but here are some shots. The Spod controls my accessories and is tied into the second battery

    I want to hook up a solar panel

    Redarc manager 30. Dual battery isolator with monitor and solar capabilities in one. And you can plug in to shore power like an rv to charge if needed. I have it and it is rad.

    Grand Wagoneer reveal...meh

    In all fairness they weren’t designing it to be a modern take on a classic design like the new bronco. It was made specifically to fill the void of an executive SUV which it kind of does. It is exactly what they intended it to be. My .02

    What is Overlanding?

    The way I see it is, who cares what its called if you are having a good time. Call it overlanding, trail driving, glamping whatever. Yes typically overland travel is for longer durations but I don't necessarily agree with the crossing international borders requirement. Bottom line is to get the...

    California Fires and Ash

    Yeah I don’t want to get in anyone’s way. What I was getting at was once things are under control really. I did read an article saying they are looking for donations in the immediacy like canned goods, tents and sleeping bags to help shelter victims.
