I'd try to visit southern Utah if at all possible. Zion and Bryce Canyon National Parks wouldn't bee too much of a detour from the Las Vegas area if you're traveling from Reno/Sparks to Arizona, and they're definitely worth seeing. If possible, I'd do something like this from Vegas to...

This is what my next purchase will be. Seems like a great solution. Here's a link on Amazon for anyone interested.

Great suggestion. I spent a week in Beg Bend and was blown away. What a great, under-appreciated park. I gotta get back there! Looks like a beautiful place. What's the camping situation like there?

This is awesome. I have a 2300 mAh, a 5600 mAh, and a 16000 mAh battery pack, but you can never have enough. I didn't know Anker made one as high capacity as the one you've got. They make good stuff. And I'm surprised that the panel charged it that quickly. That's great. Thanks for sharing.

See Bob's boondocking article for a primer, and then check out freecampsites.net to find places close to you. I think what you're doing for your husband/partner's 93-year-old father is great. Good luck!

I wrote a Kindle book about hiking in Arches National Park, and it's free through Friday the 22nd. Get it here. With free dispersed camping just ~10 minutes from the entrance, Arches is a very accessible park for vandwellers...

In addition to the websites mentioned above, Campendium.com is a good (and relatively new) one to know about and have in your quiver for finding places to stay.

I travel and camp in a RAV4, which isn't quite as small as a Scion but is pretty darn close. I've found that making use of otherwise "dead" vertical air space is very useful. So in other words, stacking stuff up high, hanging stuff from the ceiling, and having a shelf. Here's the rear shelf I...

Welcome to the forum! What are some of your favorite places you've been to? And what are you most excited about seeing that you haven't seen yet?

If you want a freestanding one that you can plug into a cigarette lighter socket, this one is great.

Looks awesome! What are some of the main places you're going to hit up on your road trip? And any ideas of where you want to end up relocating?

Are you using it as a cargo van for work purposes or just for personal purposes? Looks like a beautiful ride!

Awesome! What's the plan? Are you going to travel around? Stay in one place?  Got any pictures of your rig?

Sorry to hear that you're having a tough time. I have a RAV4 that I have spent 100+ nights in, so an Xterra is definitely doable. First you'll want the basics, namely (1) sleeping comfort, (2) privacy, and (3) temperature comfort.  For #1, you'll probably want to build a simple sleeping...

You mentioned camping mattresses. For what it's worth, this is the one I use in my SUV, and it's fantastic. You won't need a mattress topper with it. And I've found that a rectangular sleeping bag liner fits perfectly over it and functions as a fitted sheet.

Sure thing. Here you go: [/URL] Above: Camping above Lake Tahoe [/URL] Above: North of Truckee, CA [/URL] Above: Just below Big Bear, CA [/URL] Above: Just outside Lake Havasu City, AZ [/URL] Above: Sedona, AZ

Aw, it's not that bad! If you can get dressed on a bed, you could get dressed in my SUV.

The shelf with the clothes net underneath has been so great! Before that I had a big plastic set of drawers set up on one of the seats, and that held my clothes. I like the net much better. Are you talking about one of the retractable things that covers the cargo area? Yeah, I had to get rid of...

Hi everyone. My name is Tristan. I joined the forum about 6 months ago and have been lurking for ages but only started posting recently. I'm not a vandweller, but I travel and camp a lot in my little SUV (a 2011 Toyota RAV4). I call it SUV RVing. I'm a 30-year-old writer based out of northern...
