Camping/Overlanding Thread

I’m looking at a RTT on Craigslist that says it’s a Hannibal safari classic. Has anyone heard of this brand and know anything about them?

Saw this today. Wanted to post somewhere. Says Off Road, so should be OK to post. Dude is hard core.

 

I wonder what his MPG is lol

I'd need a boost and then a boost to reach them shovels.

 

Not mine, and not a Tundra but it has to be shared. Saw this Blazer with a “blazer chalet” on it yesterday here in Calgary. It is a full walkthrough to the cab which makes it extra sweet IMO.

 

Love the double matching tail lights!!

 

Another broken bow/Ouachita trip

 

Near Madison, VA. Tons of awesome breweries, wineries, hiking and fishing. Been searching for a used Four Wheel Camper, It’s going to be a long search so the tent still gets it done.

 

We have had a few really good weekends of camping. Sub freezing temps at night but we have stayed warm with the diesel heater running. The camper has turned into a comfortable place to be in foul weather.

 

Out in North GA this weekend. Color change was in full effect.

 

Got a new tent (23Zero Breezeway) and awning (23Zero Peregrine) and took them out for a test run. The 270 awning is massive.

 

I’m aware standard propane bottles shouldn’t be stored (full) horizontally, but I’m curious about what angle is acceptable. Ideally I’d like to be to mount a small bottle (5lbs) to the back of my Kuat rack. It fits there pretty well, but it’s a decent angle. Thoughts?

 

Alabama Hills

 

Been pondering a trip to the U.P. next year myself. Any advice or recommendations? Thanks.

 

I had the same issue when I had my RTT and didn't want to lose the bed space with a drawer system. Looked for a water resistant system as well. Ended up using these Rigid tool boxes and they worked out great.

Added this to the system also....

Also makes it easy to load and unload or move around. Might work for you also

 

Just arrived!!

 

Let us know your thoughts. I’m going with either their EB70 or EB 70S (500 or 700 watts). As I will have an AUX lithium battery in the bed and solar, so I feel either 500 or 700 watts is plenty to charge gadgets and such. Plus I like that they are small-er.

 

I use these same Ridgid boxes for my rooftop organization system. I have two that are fixed on my roof rack, one for tools, and recovery gear. The other is basic camping stuff for my awning and ARB awning room, which is my primary camping tent (works great with an 11 month old in a crib, until she can handle a ladder, then we will go to a RTT). The rest of my camping gear is packed into the small and medium boxes, so I have a modular setup that takes very little time to pack. The bonus with these boxes is the nesting latches, they are very solid and take little effort to secure for loading. I have used them for years in my work truck and they are sturdy and waterproof... and the price can't be beat compared to Pelican boxes. I use a total of 6 (4 small size, 2 medium size) nested together in my roof rack, just takes a couple straps to make them really secure.)

 

bought the same one but blue! Runs my fridge forever.

 

Thats our plan with it!

 

Southern Sierras - South Fork Kern River.
High: 49 degrees F
Low: 16 degrees F

 

Ill never swim Kern River came on my playlist a few hours ago….

Anywho…. Got my AT Habitat…camped in Tombstone, Gila hot springs, and random NM county road so far. 24 has been our coldest night.

 

New addition to the camping set up. Wifey won’t let me open the box till she gets home. I think she’s more excited then me.

 

Camping in Alabama. Surf and turf for dinner and poke for lunch during the trails tomorrow!

 

And the colour… because it matches the MGM. This thing is a beast.

 

Pelican coolers are the best.

 

Did you buy it? I hope you did!!! Hannibal is an OG brand. Their stuff is tried, true and tested in Australia and Africa. They aren't one of these fly by night brands you see in the US that just have their tents manufactured at one of the mega factories in China and slap their logo on it. I don't believe there are any US importers and their stuff is incredibly difficult to hard find and if you do they sell extremely quickly. They're on the same level as Eezi-Awn or Alu-Cab when it comes to quality and reputation.

 

Oh man I wish I would have heard that a while ago lol. I installed my setup today!!
