We also talked about, and looked into, a large enclosed 5th wheel trailer that would fit two rigs and could have a small living quarters and bathroom. But that would have been between 80-100k....so that was out! Plus it had the same drawbacks of not having a camper without the trailer.
We strongly considered going that route, but ultimately decided we would prefer the route we're going (at this point in our lives) so that we can use the camper without a 40' trailer. If we were always going to take the Jeep and toys, then we probably would have. I mean, I spent some time...
I mean, if you win the lottery just buy an EarthRoamer! I like your humble approach though, staying true to yourself!
Seriously though, EarthRoamers are sick, but could you imagine paying nearly (or over in some cases) $1,000,000 for an RV!?
I think I'll be around 11500-12000 loaded with the camper, fuel, water, and family. I need to get the truck down to the batch plant one evening or weekend while they're closed and get on the scale. But I also want to get the TJ down there and weigh it.
While being on the beach a lot for work, I...
I just looked and realized that Manzanita is by Neahkahnie Mountain where we've hiked before. We actually were talking about doing that hike again next time we go down and taking our son. That peak where you can watch the river mouth and see down the coast line is gorgeous! A great place to sit...
Yea, I'll have to be very cautious with a heavy diesel 1-ton with a camper! No soft sand driving for me, hard packed only! I think I'll actually end up adding a set of traction boards to the ladder or roof for emergencies. The beach/sand is about the only place I've ever seen them actually be...
Yea we really like it. One of my favorite experiences is being there when low tide is early morning and going for a walk around Haystack Rock with a hot cup of coffee and checking out the tide pools and watching the puffins. It's hard to beat a cool morning beach walk with a cup of coffee!
We...
I've not ridden in a Tesla but I drove a Mustang Mach E on an old airfield and got to test it out a bit. The instant torque and acceleration are really cool. Even so, it still just did nothing for me. I just can't make myself be interested in them. Not knocking if people enjoy them or prefer...
My buddies old Ultra4 car. 80mph through the whoops in the sand dunes was wild!
I also got to drive the rear portion of this ladder truck one time which was really neat.
