I love camping. Doh.

What an opportunity to advise my minivan camper build lol

I can park EVERYWHERE over night, often right on the beach. No rain, no bugs, got everything I need.

 

 

 

 

Just finished the butcher block for my kitchen isle, with drawer fridge, induction cook-top in a drawer and sink to come.

 

With all the nice modifications,  have you needed to beef up the suspension system?

By removing the seats it will weight less once done. Those seats are HEAVY!

I own a couple RV's for camping on the road system. Full kitchen, queen beds, stereo, heat, air, hot water, shower, toilet. One is a toy hauler so I can bring along the wheelers, snow machines, or canoe and kayaks.

I don't like wet and cold. Can take them separately. Slept many times leaned back against my ruck or wrapped in a poncho with liner.

You certainly would not have liked logging in the PNW either then. Cold and wet half the time. Hot and tired the rest

fly was fully on it so we had puddles inside the tent.

once you have the fly on just don't stake the back corner down, lift the tent and let the rain water drain out the door screen, then just mop up the residue left over.

invest in a good mattress that supports you and gets you off the ground, then you can use just a blanket or quilt and not need the bag.

in summer i tend to sleep with a Snugpak jungle blanket and therma rest lux lite cot, makes it a great night`s sleep.

 

it sounds like a Camping trip that will have lasting Great Memories.

For tent camping, I use a small cot that packs down to motorcycle carrying size. That with an Exped Synmat, it's very comfortable and your several inches off the ground.
