    How long do kids like camping?

    Ours are still pretty young, 8 and 10, but find that mixing things in with trips is the key. My daughter loves horses. So a trip with a good trail rides gives her, and her mother, a real high point in the trip. My son, fishing or meeting a new friend are his hooks. I make sure to find places he...

    iKamper Skycamp initial thoughts and observations

    We just wrapped up our first season in the ikamper. Positives out weighting the negatives. My biggest complaint is not being able to properly vent the tent, especially with the annex attached. We got at least 2 nights of heavy rain in the CO mountains. Tent held up well but I was unable to...

    In Search Of a large Roof Top Tent or Roof Replacement for 2014 JKUR

    A little late to the conversation, but we just wrapped up the first season in our Ikamper. Lots to love. A few disappointments. Size - its awesome. My wife 8 and 10 year old easily fit. I opted mostly to sleep in the annex but could have fit without trouble. Deployment - my wife is petite...

    Advice for soon to be father...

    Keep the kid away from screens for the first two years. No matter how hard people push classical music - let them listen NOT watch. Under the age of 2 screen time actually slows crossbrain development. Frankly after that its about moderation and embracing the opportunities technology offers...

    How do I start...

    I’m very late to the discussion but figured I would throw my 2 cents in as well. Don’t waste your money on a guide, unless the guide is a certified casting instructor. The skills of a guide are very different than those of an instructor. A guide can be a good instructor but it is not always...

    Water Proofing

    @Roaddude-- Looks like my response didn't post. Apologies Currently I am leaning towards the had-folding top. Easy access is important as is the additional security and water protection. I have been in communication with Schutt regarding the struts to raise the rack option(s). I need to...

    Which trailer an why?

    We purchased a used XVenture2 last Spring and used it a good amount this summer. The trailer will eventually be the base for an RTT -- I convinced my wife the RTT is like camping in the penthouse. Trailer RTT allows us to set up main base and still explore without breaking down camp. Having...

    Water Proofing

    @Roaddude -- two 12v outlets in the bed (each side of the tailgate) and that is all. The box has the double 110 outlets leading to the Yeti as well as the plug of the solar panels. I forgot how difficult it is to clean off the red mud of Colorado. I should have upgraded power washers....

    Water Proofing

    @Roaddude -- I now have watched the video a dozen times. That auto lift is awesome. I've inquired about availability and pricing. Will pass along what I find out, but seems like a necessary upgrade for you... Outlets I will have to double check tomorrow when unloading the trailer, we are...

    Water Proofing

    @Roaddude -- lets keep in touch as your plans for return firm up. We had plenty of space to throw a tent -- Wife gets nervous when I invite strangers to stay in the house but you can probably charm her... I'd love to compare trailers. Not sure if I will have installed or even possession of my...

    Please school me on Suburban

    I could have sold you my 2003 back in December for much less than the $10K mark. Had 200,000 but replaced the transmission at 120,000. It was the smoothest riding vehicle i have owned. Thing was amazing on the highway and never worried about finding space for all the kids BS plus my fishing...

    Water Proofing

    @Roaddude -- Thanks for the reply and congrats on the new trailer. I REALLY like my trailer. We used for our summer trips, and other than the water issue has been great. I have just begun to look at XV's new offerings and contemplating the value of the switch. I am planning to do a bit more...

    Water Proofing

    @Outside thanks for the feedback. I was really hoping I would unearth some yet to be realized solution for the soft cover. But I am beginning to resign mysel to the idea of buying a hard cover.
