RIP CRV, I will do my best to carry the flag for the best (in my opinion) camping vehicle. Good luck in the frozen tundra, I guess you will miss the mountains, but they are just a couple of hours away when nature calls.

The shelf is very light, until I put a stove on it, and then is is still light. I find it useful as a place to put stuff when I am digging about in the back of the truck. I also like your folding kitchen idea - way more flexible in case you don't get a nice level spot to park. The cargo net is...

Here are a couple of other bits and pieces. Cargo netting on the ceiling to put clothes etc. in at night (if two people are sleeping), led lights for better visibility, rain deflectors on the windows and mosquito netting over the door windows so I can keep them open at night. I mounted my radio...

I did something quite similar using painter extension poles and a heavier duty tarp. Used straps as guy lines and bungees to hold the rolled up tarp when driving. Works a treat. I also added a shelf to the back door made of stainless steel that I had laying about. Holds the stove when I have...

Got it, thanks.

What did you torque the motor mount bolts to after inserting the engine drop spacers? I am going to attempt mine today - but I have to fab the spacers too first.

Beauty eh?

I think once I get the engine mount spacers in I will be done too. I think at most I will get a portable winch. I have done a number of little things that I will post just for interest sake later on. Now that things on my home front has calmed down (we were doing a kitchen reno) and the weather...

Functionality has an inherent beauty.

Hey that is both looking good and looking useful, so 2 for 2. Well done you.

Hey it looks great! Not sure how I missed this post. What tire size did you put on? I think you said but I cannot find where, sorry. I didn't notice much power difference with the 215/75r15s that I put on. I think you were going a bit bigger. However, I haven't been out to test mine out yet...

Looks exciting! Did you consider a portable winch as a solution? I am wondering which winch would work well when ..... wrequired.

Good to know I got a decent compressor and for sure I will get an air down tool. My buddies have them and I sure see the advantage.

Also realized my earlier post was truncated. I have a motorcycle carrier and way down my list is a small dirt bike to throw on the back. They are never as cheap as I want them to be though.

Good idea. I was in there yesterday too and didn't think of this. Right now I am at Canadian tire picking up an air compressor. $100 but good reviews and 1.58 cfm so decent flow.

If it didn't end in May it will today. Either way, I am happy to get outside for sure.

Fortunately I have the 2" hitch. I have bike racks, and I have a carrier cage that over the years has stood me in well. I used to put some 50cc scooters I had on the carrier rack for holidays. Now I have a motor

CR-Venturer is a lot farther north. I am in Vancouver, so I can almost see your house from mine :) Yeah, an open border would be nice. Getting back to normal would be nice. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and when it is done I will happily be heading to the interior (currently we...

Funny you should have had problems with the alarm. I had a parasitic leak that was hard to pinpoint and eventually left my daughter stranded in another city while she hunted for a battery replacement. She ended up yanking the entire alarm system out and that solved all our problems. Who needs an...

I am a newbie on this forum too, and CR-Venturer was a definite big inspiration and help with these additions. Thanks for noticing how good looking I am too :) These vehicles are really capable for back country camping - no need for me to crawl over rocks and so on (I have friends who do that -...
