Camping/Overlanding Thread

Damn man you are not messing around with that setup! Looks ready for some extended back country time.

 

@trailrnr yeah man. That’s the plan

 

Wow that's an expensive little rig.

 

@TRDProLife - kinda, maybe, not really. Built locally in colorado, which helps. I had a camper van with a pop top and 4wd conversion previously so this seems like a steal

 

Small offroad trailer is the way to go, I think. Easier to store and can get into tighter spots and rougher trails than a fullsize travel trailer. And once it's set up you can still use the truck without breaking camp.

 

100% agree. Being able to drop and go explore is awesome.

 

What trailer is this!? Looks great.

 

Homebuilt. I bought it from the guy that built it and added the awning, spare tire, and jacks. Working on electrical system now.

 

I dont know 28-30k seems like a lot to me.

 

Good work!!

 

Here is our set-up. @pschiller86 the maker is out of Oceanside and he has a tent trailer now. You might want to check it out if you are in the market

 

Just to piggyback on this one...the company is C.A.R.P. Expedition, formerly known as Bear Teardrops. They currently rent out their C1-X All-Terrain Tent Trailer via AirBnB and Outdoorsy.

They are good people and like Grendel said, local to Oceanside. I recently rented the C1-X and it was a breeze to tow and set up. It was my first time with a roof top tent. I'm glad I had the option to try it before buying one. It cemented my thoughts of purchasing a RTT and trailer for the future. It was the best time I've had camping. Like others have said, it's a blast to be able to set up camp and hit the trails without having to pack back up.

 

Thanks for the info. I didn’t know they rented their trailer.

 

@TRDProLife - me too. That is not what I paid

 

That is what they are priced at on the into the wild website.

 

Interesting. I got mine 3 years ago when they were a small company. Glad I did I guess.

 

Yet - even a that, 70k cheaper than a good camper van

 

Working on the fridge spot!

 

Small off-road trailers are definitely the way to go, here's another homemade one, less than $15k into it.

 

Anyone going to Overland Expo 2019 East, in Arrington VA this year, Oct 12.

 

I want to go, but have a wedding to attend in NJ that weekend. A different type of adventure

 

Well, I found a fridge on Craigslist, unused. This guy was driving trucks and unfortunately had a change in health and therefore jobs right after he bought it. Looking forward to getting the install complete! Feel like I got a good deal. $175

 

Coming along

 

You can see toddler toy and hopbullet remains in pic. Waiting for drying to mount up the hardware!

 

Cannot wait to try this out. Trial run as the beer fridge for mountain bike ride Sunday

 

Best part about that location is that I can reach from the drivers seat to grab a cold water.

 

Also have the @decked drawer system in the bed and looking at adding fridge/freezer combo in the back seat area replacing the smaller rear bench seat. And having a roof rack fabbed
