The longest I've used the tent was 3 nights in a row with no complaints. Apparently its the same quality mattress that they put in their RTTs. I have the one-person swag. I think they make a two-person version too I bought this tent while living in the middle east and camping in the desert a...

Awesome write-up! I'm really interested in exploring this route this year. So many interesting places to explore with a few detours to the original route!

Got it! It looks like a lot of State Parks have pretty well-developed camping facilities. What about more basic, dispersed, or totally undeveloped options? I'm thinking like no RVs, no power, no water. Is there anything like that in the south?

I'm still pretty new to the US so I'm not sure I appreciate the college/spring break thing. Have I picked the worst possible week to be there? Even if I can find SP camping, is it going to be a bad experience?

Wow, I had no idea its so hard to camp down there. You've given me a lot of places to go research though. Thank you!

Hey OB. I'm planning a few days in south florida exploring the National Parks and the Keys. I'm looking for some recommendations on great backroads and trails to explore, as well as beautiful spots to camp. I'm planning to do this over spring break which I know is probably a bad idea. I have...

I bought one from Target when they reduced from $60 to $40. I just checked again at the weekend and my store has them for $20!!!

Thanks for the sharing this great write-up. I've really enjoyed your videos too. Thinking very hard about going down the Power Wagon route too.

I'm following to hear all about this tent when you get it! It looks fantastic.

Cool build! Thanks for taking the time to include links to all of the products. That's a really helpful idea!

Ah, thats interesting! I still haven't got my head around the US car market yet. A diesel tacoma or a diesel JKU pickup would be tempting. Really though I just want my Ranger back :)

How are diesel prices compared to petrol in the US? I got used to them being equal here but I guess that's not the case?

Hi OB. Is anyone here overlanding in the new diesel ZR2? On paper it seems like worthy competition for the Tacoma and having previously owned a diesel Ranger I'm really drawn to the Duramax option. Disclaimer: I'm not in the US (yet) so any context about the Chevy brand is totally lost on me...

Hey OB Midwest. After a couple of years overlanding in the dunes and mountains of the UAE I'm moving to Chicago next month. I'm pretty sad to have sold my Ford Ranger but I'm looking forward to shopping for a new rig and making some new OB friends in the coming months. So for now, this is just...

Thanks for this thread! I used garden wire instead of fishing line and it worked well. It's that thin metal wire covered in plastic that you might normally use for tying back plants and it shouldn't snap.

Hey Paul, welcome. I see you found our UAE sub-forum too. I'm curious to hear how you came across the site?

I was wondering the same thing!

Yeah, thanks man. I'd tried reading the CBP stuff before but the Jalopnik article breaks it down nicely. Basically it's never gonna happen!
