Campin' ain't campin' if you can't smell the rain and listen to the bugs.
Ouch! Not much clearance there. Watch out for them holes.
A little scare this Memorial Day weekend.
Says you .........The ground is to cold to sleep on. I will camp with my plush mattress and heat. Plus I like to cook my food on the grill and I like to have refrigeration. RV camping is the way to go. the Motorhome we had (refered to as Satan's Motorhome) got 13 mpg and cost less to drive it cross country than it did to drive the expedition (17 mpg) and stay in Motels.
People don't realize that in Europe, you carry the same shit with smaller trucks. I had a '68 VW van and we'd fill the thing from floor to ceiling with cases of soda and it never even really noticed. I had a hitch made for it which attached to a pipe bumper and also up the sides of the engine compartment. I pulled a 3-axle trailer with a '74 Thunderbird on it one time, and lots of other vehicles on a dolly. I think of those things more as farm tractors with bodies than as vehicles. I blew the engine a lot, but it's so easy to pull it from a van and back then it cost about $20 to overhaul it. It's ridiculous that an engine you can pull by hand and toss up on a workbench by yourself can power such a useful vehicle. I actually still have my old John Muir Idiot's book right here.My bug-out camper is 1,000 lbs...and my Vdub is a 1-ton truck.
