Camping/Overlanding Thread

Many years ago I used to hunt deer on the West Virginia side in Hardy County. Now they have a freeway going through the area I hunted. My friend had a pop up camper. We pulled into a meadow to camp and hunt. It was good times. I should go down to do a look-see.

 

Well, we took the RV out for a test drive to the coast. It's only about 240 mi to my Dad's. Took about 30-34 gallons to get there (~7 gpm). On the return trip it took around 27-30 gallons and we actually drove faster (~9 gpm). Less wind coming back, and it rained only on the last leg of the trip vs almost half the trip heading to our destination.



RV ran flawlessly. The V10 is a beast even if it only puts out 305 HP. Must be the gearing.


Dad's area is all farmland which means the green energy companies have dotted it with hideous turbines.



The dogs didn't care for the trip down there but they were much more relaxed on the return trip. Dave only cared about the Whataburger. PJ drove it some and, with the exception of a low curb driving through one of the many small towns, she did really well. She especially enjoyed it when a big rig passed us .

I'm going to do some more odds n ends to it before our big trip to OH in a couple weeks, but I have all the confidence in the world in our choice of motorhome.

Got to spend last weekend doing my favorite way to camp (when weather permits and no wife and child with me ) full view of the stars on a clear night

 

Spent lots of nights in the AZ deserts. Beautiful skies, lots of shooting stars, prettiest sunrises.

 

I did that once ... ♬ And a fat ass J of some bubonic chronic that made me choke, shit, this ain’t no joke I had to back up off it and sit my ass down. ♪

 

You know it ! ... got my mind on my money and my money on my mind

 

That kinda depends on where ya live.
