CILONE/SK Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share Posted June 18, 2013 So, I went for a one-nighter on Sunday night. It was pretty uneventful. Drove there, stayed a night, and drove back. My parents and my brother came. I had a camper site and a cabin site next to it for my parents. My brother rented the cabin next to it, because he did not want to hear snoring. My Dodge Nitro pulled the RV with no problems. The wind and the passing cars pushed it/me around, so I stayed in the 60-65 range the whole way. On the way back, I stopped to get gas and it turned out to be bad gas, with too much water in it. Now I am going to change spark plugs tonight because of issues from that. Fuck Chevron. Also, we went camping in Idaho next to the Snake river. I am thinking about Oregon next. I know this is not action packed greatness, but it is hard to reach that point with three little kids. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
!@#$% Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Did you tent in those places? None of that is far from me and I am sure I will end up there sooner or later. i did not i'm a motel 6 gal. though i've slept outside, i have actually never been camping if you're gonna tick off national parks, and jesus, you named all the best states for them (i can't wait to go to Arches and Zion in UT) get a National Park Pass. that said, i have no clue how national parks and RVs work together, but when i'm in the parks, i see plenty of people driving them http://www.nps.gov/findapark/passes.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CILONE/SK Posted July 1, 2013 Author Share Posted July 1, 2013 This is where I went this past weekend. Drove back a few hours ago. On the way up Saw a deer last night. It came right up to the camp, but it was too dark to get the pic. Enjoy the pic of the eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one that is close to me, I drove thru it today, is free. If you ever get to this part if the country, let me know. I saw in that website, that there is a military deal. I need to hit that up before I retire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool_Hand Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 got back into town from a long fucking drive on sunday...just getting the photo's uploaded. The trailer is a 2013 Tailwind 10' tandem axle and right now it is at about 40% of where I want it to be in terms of the build. I am planning on a two year build, and Im about 4 months in. I use it every weekend so it's comfortable for the girl me and the dog. I quickly added some temporary shelving right now, it's ugly but it works, all I have in terms of wood tools is a skill saw and everything has been done with that thus far. Its parked in a carport and thats where I can work on it - Its getting a full set of cabinets and drawers for holding firearms and ammo - food chainsaw and all my shit. So what I wanted: Small, tandem axle and a place to put all my shit and the bikes. I wanted a bed, and warmth. So far I have it and I have great sleeps in the bush. Modifications from stock: It came as a plywood skinned interior with two lights on the ceiling. It had a vent as well and I have done the following. commercial grade vinyl flooring e track inset into the sub floor spray foam insulation added a slider window wall panneling on top of insulated walls and ceiling Solar Panel optima deep cycle blue top battery Blue see master breaker blue sea fuse block blue sea negative bus bar queen size bed foam mattress that folds up to the wall western red cedar trims / baseboard 3rd aux interior light for the back portion What I have that is not installed: LED puck lights for the workspace / counter top quick fist mounts for guns, compressed air, fire extinguisher and misc stuff LED light bar for back LED work lights for outside the man door other shit I am forgetting I was drunk when I took pics so forgive me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cool_Hand Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 What she looks like when yer rig is on the right road, right bubs? : towing the trailer - quad in the truck and my bike in the back Drunk - This is looking in the side door, bed is folded up.

Cool_Hand Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Here is the cluster fuck of shelving and some of the shit that goes with us. Not all of that crap is mine, my buddys stuff is all stowed away there too. This is what the bed looks like when folded down, I keep the shotgun beside me with slugs in case of bears. When you arrive and get drunk you then have to rifle shit outside to make room for the bed. This will change when I build the cabinet for most of the stuff that can stay inside. for all the pigs - pack of bacon in the pan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool_Hand Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 when I try to leave town it seems like everyone has a diesel pick up, an RV, and a quad (s) or dirt bikes. Isn't there a recession going on right now or something? I dont think it ever happened here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is starting to get cold and I have a heater, but I am unsure if how good it works. I kind of wish I had a trailer like yours, because of the plumbing. I have to get mine winterized, and I don't want to, since I rarely use the bathroom on it. I could do without plumbing in my trailer.

Cool_Hand Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 I have a propane heater - it's a ceramic plate deal that can hook up to small bottles or large bottles. I do worry about the CO2 output so I make sure I have decent air flow. Really all I do is turn it on before I go in, heat the space up, which is insulated mind you and turn it off before I fall asleep. I crack the window a hair, also crack to top vent, and leave them open all night. Its a little colder on the floor for the dog, so Im thinking about a insulated foam mat and then a bed to put on it for her. One sleeping bag and I'm laughing man, sleep is nice and toasty, but not too hot! Im going to be heading out pretty quick here, Im due for a good trip. the make of my heater: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
