before we bought the camper, still sleeping in truck or tenting it.
camp & ride around the Coquihalla alot. if you ever watch the show Highway to Hell, it's based on the "Coke". it's not as bad as they make it out to be, 90% of it is ill-prepared people or driving to fast idiots Attachment 1170212 Attachment 1170213 Attachment 1170214 Attachment 1170215 Attachment 1170216 |

Looks good dawg! I like that your tailgate can still shut with the camper in. Makes for a nice porch too I bet.

Re: post up your camping pics
Hope no one minds me joining in. I've always been a tent camper, done several miles of the AT and hiked/ice climbed a lot in Alaska while I was lucky enough to live there. Always had GM trucks to get me out there too ;) Most weren't 4x4 though, until a couple years ago I couldn't swing for much more than a 2WD longbed... they always got me in and out though!
I found some pics from camping with my first 72 before it was stolen. This had to have been around 2006ish and was up near Raven Cliffs and Unicoi Gap in North Georgia. Parking by the campsite, found a cool little pad right downstream from a waterfall. http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p...ps1b9d3dc4.jpg http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p...psa1fc4b9d.jpg Riding around on forestry roads after setting up http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p...psf3a628d7.jpg http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p...ps7ee8ad26.jpg Here is Camping/hiking in Alaska around 2011, my second full time year up there. Drove out the Denali Highway and saw an amazing part of the world! http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p...0715110902.jpg http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p...909110024a.jpg Crossing the Susitna River http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p...713111553a.jpg Got a moose on that trip! :) http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p...902111448a.jpg My last camping trip in Alaska, didn't know it was or I would have made it longer but hopefully I'll get to visit again. Went from my place in Healy, AK down through Anchorage and over to Copper Center, McCarthy, and Valdez. An epic trip I will always remember! The daily routine, drive 5-6 hours and find a nice place to set up camp! http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p...ps65d13795.jpg Always want to keep warm... http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p...psf462f3aa.jpg http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p...ps744ec877.jpg Might have overpacked a bit but my retired parents were with me, still can't believe I suckered them in to tent camping! http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p...psd7b8ce2f.jpg The views speak for themselves... http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p...ps50051b0a.jpg http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p...psfcd01500.jpg Never a real trip in AK without a wildlife sighting! http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p...ps8dc44c14.jpg Hopefully as my son gets older I'll be able to update with pics of us camping! |

Re: post up your camping pics
Dont go camping much, but here are a few. this was when i still had my '04
http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l8...camping036.jpg http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l8...camping055.jpg http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l8...camping065.jpg http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l8...camping073.jpg http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l8...camping075.jpg The camp site was on the bank of the Rio Grande, just shy of treeline. a little trip over Stony pass and the divide. there is a place on Stony pass that you can literally stand in the snowpile that is the beginning of the Rio Grande. i thought i have pics, but i guess not. |
Re: post up your camping pics
These photos are driving me nuts. I've had the boat out for a little fishing a couple times, but now I'm really jonesin' for a long weekend camping trip. I've scheduled a day the last Friday in April. If the weather cooperates...

Re: post up your camping pics
Great pictures! I can’t wait for the season to get going! It’s been a long hard winter and I can’t wait to get out. Our first trip is coming up in May. Headed to the Overland Expo in Flagstaff then heading back up to explore more in the Utah Canyonlands area. I can’t wait for that week to get here!
I haven’t done much to the truck itself in preparation for this season other than addressing some annoyance items and cosmetic things on body and interior (pulled doors to adjust, readjust and adjust some more, adjusted the entire front clip and installed new door panels). The body needed a lot of adjustments here and there from years of getting flexed and tweaked off-road. The doors were getting to the point they didn’t want to shut anymore and the bottoms were rattling on the rocker panels. They shut better than new now. Even though the truck hasn’t gotten much attention the camper sure has. I ran it up to the camper builder in March where they remodeled the kitchen area by removing the old sink set up and old stovetop. The old stove top was a Suburban brand unit, which are in just about every RV built in the last few decades. They are great pieces but they rattle like crazy and I was looking for something more modern and takes up less space. They hooked me up with a Stove/sink combo unit and I really love it! Can’t wait to get a chance to use it in the real world. While it was at their shop they also installed the 100W solar panel for me. Once I got it home I handled the controller wiring and rearranged just about everything I had packed in there. When I was done I found a hidden compartment which I opened up revealing over 1 cubic foot of storage. 1 cubic foot of storage is HUGE in a little truck camper. The solar should really help on those trips where we may sit in one spot for more than a day as the National Luna refrigerator is 100% electric. Even though it is 100% electric it doesn’t draw much current but after about 3 day of the truck not moving the fridge starts to run pretty flat. Before: This worked alright for a few years. https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5051/...49972946_b.jpg After: This opens up a lot more room when the stove and sink are not in use. No more rattles either! I hate rattles!! https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2827/...7d0a78f3_c.jpg https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3709/...2761daaf_c.jpg Added a 100W solar system as well. Will be perfect when parked in the same spot for a day or more. https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7239/...d044e89b_c.jpg Anxious to get out and see how this new stove/sink and solar perform! This is where we are going in Canyonlands! The Doll House in the Maze District. We briefly rolled through this spot in 2010. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4093/...08cafb91_b.jpg We'll be seeing lot of this too. Camping next to this cliff is a thrill. Just becareful when you get up at 2 AM to use the beer return station. That first step is a doozy! :lol: https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4094/...ab62c631_b.jpg |

The truck actually has 3 batteries. A chassis start battery on the RH side of the radiator support, a camper/winch battery on the left side then another camper battery in the camper. The camper battery under the hood and inside the camper are tied to each other. There is also an isolator to separate the two camper batteries from the chassis battery. |

Re: post up your camping pics
This thread was an awesome idea. Isn't this what we have the 4x4's for? Besides all the great location pics, I love the picture of the mama bear with her cubs. Awesome! Please keep the great pics coming. When I'm done with my '64 K10, camping is one of the first things I'm doing with it.
