    Baja California Next Winter

    I looked and there is more than one group with that name. How do we know which is the correct one? Never mind. After joining another it is from Years ago! Lol

    Dispersed camping attack

    I agree. Zero tolerance. I've lost count of the campsites I've cleaned up over the years. I have no problems letting a Ranger know who left garbage or a fire. If I can get a photograph (that zoom lens is good for more than wildlife) of the person and their vehicle, even better. Direct...

    Where to get drinking water

    We tend to use Primo or Glacier refill stations. If we're at a Walmart or grocery store they usually have a water fill station. They tend to be 30 to 50 cents per gallon and the water quality is typically very good. Having used various "potable" water spigots with widely varying qualities and...

    any kayakers here?

    I should've mentioned that our kayaks weigh 55 lbs each and it takes both of us to get them loaded on the roof of the truck. They do make nifty kayak lifts that would make it a one person operation.

    any kayakers here?

    We are both in our mid 50's and travel with a pair of Future Beach Trophy 126 sit in kayaks. We can do some rapids but prefer when we can put in and take out at the same launch. Before we hit the road we lived in Virginia and constantly paddled the Potomac and Rappahannock Rivers. We use the...

    This is one of the reasons why people hate camper vans now

    My pet peeve is the opposite. We have been Traveling across the country towing a teardrop with our truck. There have been several occassions in different states that cars like to double park (two or three to a space) in the limited number of RV and trailer spots leaving no room for said rvs or...

    What did you, yourself, Repair recently?

    Not recently but back in late December we had to pull the entire intake assembly off the Tacoma. A kangaroo rat in joshua tree decided the knock sensor wire was tasty..... and then decided to build a nest Sent from my SM-G960U1 using Tapatalk

    Washing clothes?

    You're crazy. I hate visiting laundromats. I bucket wash a few clothes each week to extend time between laundromats. We stretch a line from the truck to the teardrop to dry. I have discovered clothes dry quicker in the desert than on the east coast! Sent from my SM-G960U1 using Tapatalk

    What Are Essential Road-Life Apps For 2021?

    Traveling across the country since June, we've used freecampsites.net, iOvelander, and Campendium. One will usually have a place listed that the others might not. Our favorite app though is the Ultimate Campgrounds app. It's found us more free or cheap camping than the other three...

    Propane stove - looking for recommendations

    Second this. We've used a Camp Chef Stove/Oven combo since 2012. It's worked great. Big enough to bake pie, pizza, cookies and we even did a small turkey (12 pound IIRC) Sent from my SM-G960U1 using Tapatalk

    What did you, yourself, Repair recently?

    I remade a latch on the truck cap. One side broke. They are plastic from the factory. I used the base, two bolts, a pad eye, and whatever I had for spacers. All the parts and tools I used are carried in either the truck or the teardrop. I did this on BLM land while at Carrizo Plain National...
